Clarinet Rest Stand?

Does anyone know if a Clarinet rest stand exists?
The main issue is taking the weight off the right thumb.
Like everyone else I've tried rubber thumb rests, straps as well as resting the the Clarinet on my knees and thighs.
And really none of these things work as well as I would like.
I sit in a Windsor Chair when practicing.
I've noticed if I sit up perfectly straight I can rest the Bell on the front protuberance of the chair.
Its a little awkward however
That said I got to thinking wouldn't it be nice to have a small stand of sorts to place in front of the chair to support the clarinet.
It would need to be about 18 inches high and could have a flat piece on the top with nonskid rubber to allow the Clarinet Bell to rest on it.
99% of my playing is just sitting there, so something like this could come in very handy.
This could work maybe with the base of a music stand.
Does anyone have an idea for making something like this?
Or maybe something like this exists already?
