Abstract:
1. An apparatus for displaying a musical cymbal and associated product literature upon a slat wall, the apparatus comprising: a base plate with upper and lower surfaces and a series of bent mounting strips, the mounting strips adapted to be inserted within a slat wall for supporting the apparatus; a pair of rotatable lock bars pivotally mounted to the lower surface of the base plate, each of the lock bars being controlled by an interconnected screw assembly mounted through the base plate, each screw assembly having an upper user accessible end surrounded by a raised peripheral edge; a first arm having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end rigidly interconnected to the upper surface of the base plate; a second arm having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end pivotally interconnected to the distal end of the first arm by way of a tilter mechanism, the tilter mechanism including two opposed geared faces which can be indexed relative to one another to change the angle between the first and second arms, a spring associated with the tilter mechanism and serving to bias the faces towards one another; upper and lower felts interconnected to the distal end of the second arm, the upper and lower felts functioning to removably secure the musical cymbal; a display assembly interconnected to the upper felt, the display assembly having a base portion and an interconnected panel, the panel being adapted to receive the associated product literature; a screw assembly extending through the base portion and interconnected to distal end of the second arm, and screw assembly serving to secure the display assembly, the cymbal and the upper and lower felts, the screw assembly having an upper user accessible end surrounded by a raised peripheral edge.
