Abstract:
1. A spiked leg for being attached to a musical instrument or a musical instrument stand, the spiked leg comprising: a leg member to be coupled to the musical instrument or the musical instrument stand; a stopper fixed to a distal end of the leg member, wherein the stopper is formed of rubber and is adapted to contact a set-up surface for the musical instrument or the musical instrument stand; a spike accommodated in a longitudinal hole of the stopper, wherein the spike has a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the spike is opposite to the distal end of the spike, the proximal end of the spike is closer to the leg member than the distal end of the spike, and the distal end of the spike is adapted to abut against the set-up surface, and a cylindrical holder located between a wall surface of the longitudinal hole and the spike, wherein the cylindrical holder is rigid and is fitted in the longitudinal hole, the longitudinal hole has a distal opening at a lower end of the stopper, and a cross-sectional shape of the distal opening is approximately the same as that of the cylindrical holder to permit the cylindrical holder to be installed in the stopper through the distal opening, the proximal end of the spike is spaced apart from the distal end of the leg member, and a part of the stopper is located between the proximal end of the spike and the distal end of the leg member, the spike and the cylindrical holder form a unit, and the cylindrical holder is spaced apart from the distal end of the leg member, and the part of the stopper is located between the holder and the distal end of the leg member, to prevent direct contact between the leg member and the unit for limiting transmission of vibrations between the leg member and the unit.
