Patent ID: 7509992

Claim:
a Kabuki device for releasably positionally maintaining a stage setting having at least one metal ring at an edge portion for support, comprising in combination: An elongate box-like body having first and second opposed longer surfaces and defining a medial chamber with a slot in the first surface communicating with the medial chamber and means on the second surface to releasably fasten the body to a support structure; a solenoid carried by the body within the medial chamber and operatively communicating through a switch with an external electric power source to move an arm of the solenoid responsively to an electric signal; a lever arm pivotally carried by the body within the medial chamber and having a first end portion pivotally connected to the solenoid arm and a second end portion carrying a ring support pin for motion across the slot defined in the body; biasing means maintaining the lever arm at a position whereat the ring support pin extends across the slot to positionally maintain the metal ring of the stage setting in the medial chamber, two wiring plug connectors carried on the body in electrical series communication with each other, with the solenoid and through a switch with the power source; and a finger hole defined in a third end surface of the body to allow access to the lever arm to overcome the biasing means to place the at least one metal ring of a stage setting in fastenable position in the body slot.
