Abstract: The present invention is directed to a guitar stand that includes a base, an upright support, and, optionally, a music holder. The top surface of the base may be at an inclined angle relative to a floor or surface on which the base (and guitar stand) is positioned. The top surface of the base is designed to receive, and make available for use, one or more effects pedals that a guitarist might choose to employ during a performance. The upright support, which is attached to the base at an inclined angle, is designed to hold two guitars. A music holder, if present, is attached to the end of the upright support opposite the support's attachment to the base, is designed to hold music, an electronic device for displaying information (e.g., music), or both.

Abstract: Provided is a ready-to-install apparatus for dispensing carbonated beverages and/or beverages on draught that incorporates a flow sensor and a pinch valve and may be coupled to the end of a beer line (or any other tubing used for beverage dispensing) without having to be integrated within the line (i.e. eliminating the need to make multiple cuts for the valve, the flow sensor, etc.) The beverage dispensing apparatus reduces foaming by reducing the number of components that come into contact with the fluid and/or interfere with flow. For example, the beverage dispensing apparatus may utilize an external flow sensor to reduce the creation of nucleation sites where CO2 bubbles may form. In another example, a pinch valve may be used to prevent excessive foaming in place of conventional valves that must be placed proximal to the keg.

Abstract: A free-standing vitrine for storing instruments is disclosed. The vitrine comprises a transparent portion through which an instrument stored inside the vitrine is viewable when the lid of the vitrine is closed. Furthermore, versions of the free-standing vitrine may be inclined relative to the surface on which the vitrine rests.
