 The Oboe BBoard

Does anyone remember the name of a special instrument support that was mentioned on this BBoard a few months ago? It is fastened to the stand and holds up the bell: this way no weight is on the thumb at all and freedom of movement is still available.
In the past, when I battled tendinitis as a blossoming advanced student, I used a string tied to my bell and hooked to the stand to achieve similar results.
As for thumb-rests, I'm experimenting with that too, and the best thing (for me --- I don't know about anyone else) is a wine-cork cut at angles to keep the tip of my thumb pointing downwards and towards the instrument (almost the contrary to standard thumb-rests).
Best of luck!
