Tunning bell sucks

Though I like very much my Spada horn which is excellent as far as playing is concerned (sound, intonation, valves etc) the tunning bell makes me crazy...Let me explain:

Often (3 times till now) when I leave my trumpet on the stand if the bell holder is not screwed up to the limit the valve body is falling down and hurting wether the bell or the tunning slide.
