Abstract

In the case of this pedal (1), which is fixed to a corresponding pedal fixing device by means of a strap or band (6) and is mounted on a support having a pivot (2) and, on its front part, has an adjustable to-piece (5), a pivoting heel support (4), which is provided for adjustments in the vertical and horizontal position, is articulated on the rear part by fixing means (3). In order to spare the drummer the learning of foot technique, which is sometimes difficult, he can obtain a particularly high playing tempo with a minimally amplified, rocking foot motion by using the heel support pivoted into the vertical position, while, in the horizontal position of the heel support, he ensures the customary playing mode. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Fußpedal mit ei­nem schwenkbaren Absatzauflagewinkel; dabei ist ein durch die Ferse des Spielers betätigbarer Absatzauf­lagewinkel durch Befestigungsmittel an einem mit dem Vorderfuß des Spielers betätigbaren Fußpedal ange­lenkt,wobei das Fußpedal mittels Riemen oder Band mit einer entsprechenden Fußpedalhalterung in Verbindung steht und an seinem vorderen Ende eine verstellbare Fußspitzenhalterung aufweist.The invention relates to a foot pedal with a pivotable heel support angle; A heel of the player's heel is actuated by fastening means to a foot pedal that can be actuated by the player's forefoot, the foot pedal being connected to a corresponding foot pedal bracket by means of a strap or strap and having an adjustable toe bracket at its front end.

Es sind mehrere Fußmaschine mit zwei Pedalen oder winkligem Pedal bekannt,mit denen ein hohes Spieltem­po erreicht wird; die übliche Spielweise dagegen kann nur durch eine mitunter schwierig erlernbare,bzw.aus­zuführende Fußtechnik oder durch mehr- oder weniger­zeitaufwendiges Umstellen des Pedalwinkels,allerdings nicht während des Spielvorgangs,erfolgen.Several pedals with two pedals or angled pedals are known with which a high playing speed is achieved; The usual way of playing, on the other hand, can only be done by a foot technique that is sometimes difficult to learn or to carry out or by changing the pedal angle, which takes more or less time, but not during the game process.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen.Die Erfin­dung,wie sie in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnet ist,löst die Aufgabe,ein Fußpedal mit schwenkbarem Absatzauf­lagewinkel zu konstruieren,das sowohl ein hohes Spiel­tempo als auch das übliche Spieltempo erlaubt,ohne daß es dazu einer längeren Umstellungsphase bedarf.Here, the invention seeks to remedy the problem. The invention, as characterized in claim 1, solves the problem of constructing a foot pedal with a pivotable heel support angle which allows both a high game speed and the usual game speed without requiring a longer changeover phase .

Die durch die Erfindung im wesentlichen erzielten Vor­teile sind darin zu sehen,daß bei diesem Fußpedal mit schwenkbarem Absatzauflagewinkel keine neue Fußtech­nik seitens des Schlagzeugers erforderlich ist,und insbesondere,daß während des Spielens ein Umstellen er­folgen kann,was einen nahezu nahtlosen Übergang von üb­licher Spielweise auf ein besonders hohes Tempo bewirkt.The advantages essentially achieved by the invention can be seen in the fact that this foot pedal with a pivotable heel support angle does not require any new foot technology on the part of the drummer, and in particular that a change can take place during play, which results in an almost seamless transition from conventional play causes a particularly high pace.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Zeichnung näher er­läutert.Die Figur zeigt die Seitenansicht eines Teils einer Fußmaschine mit erfindungsgemäßem Fußpedal mit schwenkbarem Absatzauflagewinkel in vertikaler Positi­on,die ein besonders hohes Spieltempo erlaubt,wobei das Fußpedal 1 per Riemen oder Band 6 mit einer entsprechenden Fußpedalhalterung in Verbindung steht, an einer Auflage mit Achse 2 gelagert ist und an seinem vorderen Teil eine verstellbare Fußspitzenhal­terung 5 aufweist während an seinem hinteren Teil ein durch Befestigungsmittel 3 schwenkbarer Absatz­auflagewinkel 4 angelenkt ist.In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with the aid of a drawing representing only one embodiment. The figure shows the side view of part of a foot pedal with a foot pedal according to the invention with a pivotable heel support angle in a vertical position, which allows a particularly high playing speed, the foot pedal 1 by means of a strap or band 6 communicates with a corresponding foot pedal bracket, is mounted on a support with axis 2 and has an adjustable toe bracket 5 on its front part while a heel part 4 which can be pivoted by fastening means 3 is articulated on its rear part.

Der Schlagzeuger braucht sich keine neue Fußtechnik anzueignen,da ihm das erfindungsgemäße Fußpedal mit schwenkbarem Absatzauflagewinkel die Möglichkeit er­öffnet,in üblicher Spielweise zu agieren.Durch Um­schwenken des Absatzauflagewinkels in vertikale Po­sition jedoch,macht er die Erfahrung,daß sich bei leicht verstärkter Fußbewegung in wippender Art, praktischerweise ein doppeltes Tempo ergibt,was sei­tens der nach Schuhgröße verstellbaren Fußspitzen­halterung unter Einbeziehen mit durch die Fußsohle des Spielers ausgeübtem Druck auf den umgeschwenkten Absatzauflagewinkel vorteilhaft unterstützt wird.The drummer does not need to learn any new foot technique, since the foot pedal according to the invention with a swiveling heel support angle enables him to act in the usual way of playing. However, by swiveling the heel support angle into a vertical position, he experiences that with slightly increased foot movement in a rocking manner , practically results in a double pace, which is supported by the adjustable toe size holder, including the pressure exerted by the sole of the player on the swiveled heel support angle.
