HANDPAN HANGER

摘要

In some embodiments, a hanger may removably mount a handpan to a wall. The hanger may comprise at least one elongate member, which may comprise a substrate-mounting-region disposed from a handpan-engagement-region. The substrate-mounting-region may mount to the wall so that the hanger may be mounted to the wall. The handpan-engagement-region may removably engage at least some portion of a cavity of the handpan. When the hanger may be mounted to the wall, the handpan-engagement-region may removably support the handpan so the handpan may be removably coupled to the wall. A length of the at least one elongate member may be of sufficient length to removably engage the cavity, but too long to pose dangers to passerbys. And a critical angle may not be too narrow, reducing the length and increasing a probability of the handpan falling; nor may the critical angle be too wide, providing an increased danger to passerbys.

1. A hanger for removably coupling a handpan to a substrate, the hanger comprising at least one elongate member, wherein the at least one elongate member comprises:
a substrate-mounting-region, wherein the substrate-mounting-region is attachable to the substrate so that the hanger is mounted to the substrate; a handpan-engagement-region, wherein the handpan-engagement-region removably engages at least some portion of a cavity of the handpan; a hypotenuse-region, wherein the hypotenuse-region is disposed between the substrate-mounting-region and the handpan-engagement-region; wherein the hypotenuse-region is substantially linear; a first-bend, wherein the first-bend is disposed between the substrate-mounting-region and the hypotenuse-region, wherein the first-bend links the substrate-mounting-region to the hypotenuse-region; wherein the first-bend bends away from the substrate when the substrate-mounting-region is mounted to the substrate; a second-bend, wherein the second-bend is disposed between the hypotenuse-region and the handpan-engagement-region, wherein the second-bend links the hypotenuse-region to the handpan-engagement-region; wherein the at least one elongate member is substantially rigid; wherein when the hanger is mounted to the substrate, the handpan-engagement-region removably supports the handpan so the handpan is mounted in proximity to the substrate; wherein when the hanger is mounted to the substrate, a critical angle is formed between the substrate and the hypotenuse-region; wherein this critical angle is in a range of about 50 degrees to about 70 degrees.
