Abstract:
A multi-arm swiveling mute rack provides swiveling arms and annular members that retain instrument mutes in an upright position, allowing each mute to be independently swiveled horizontally up to 360° for selective access to mutes. A base portion mounts to a shaft or flat surface near a musician for supporting mute rack. An axle extends vertically from base portion. A stationary lower plate receives axle, and a lower arm terminating at a lower annular member extends from the lower plate to retain a mute. Multiple rotatable upper plates and their respective upper arms terminating at upper annular members stacked above the lower plate. The upper plates swivel about the axle so that their respective arms and annular members swivel while retaining mutes. The arms are marked to define the relative angle of the mutes to each other. Multiple music item containers at the base portion retain music related items.

Claim (Index 20):
A multi-arm swiveling mute rack, the mute rack consisting of:\n a base portion defined by a bottom surface and a top surface, the base portion forming a centrally disposed base hole; a threaded axle comprising a top end and a bottom end, the bottom end of the axle at least partially passing through the base hole, the axle comprising clamp threads; a stationary lower plate defined by a lower aperture, the lower aperture enabling passage of the axle; a lower arm extending from the stationary lower plate, the lower arm terminating at a lower annular member; at least four rotatable upper plates defined by an upper aperture enabling passage of the axle, the rotatable upper plates disposed in a stacked relationship and rotatable up to 360 degrees about the axle, the rotatable upper plates further defined by a marking, the marking indicating the angular position of each rotatable upper plate relative to the stationary lower plate and the other rotatable upper plates, the marking comprising a molded detent line or an indicia; an upper arm extending from the rotatable upper plates, the upper arm terminating at an upper annular member; an adjustment member operatively coupled to the axle and the rotatable upper plates, the adjustment member controlling the freedom of rotation by the rotatable upper plates; at least one first music item container disposed at the top surface of the base portion, the at least one first music item container defined by a generally cylindrical shape; and a second music item container disposed at the top surface of the base portion, the second music item container defined by a generally cylindrical shape.
