Definitions

  • the front end 20 of the pedal is inserted through a corresponding slot 30 in a comb guide 32, i.e., a wooden sheet with slots in it resembling a comb.
  • the slot limits both the vertical and the horizontal travel of the pedal.
  • the comb guide is attached to a support 34 which also carries the upper bumper 36 and a lower bumper 38.
  • Pieces of felt 40 are attached to respective sides of the pedal 10 to reduce noise when the pedal strikes the inside surfaces of the comb guide defined by the slot 30.
  • a cover or toe board 42 is attached to the support 34.
  • rear trim 44 and a heal board 46 are provided at the back end 18 of the pedal.
  • FIG. 5 A top view of the elastomeric electric switches is shown in Figure 5.
  • the switches are shown apart from the rest of the pedal board.
  • sets of elastomeric electric switches are assembled into a single strip 88, side by side.
  • each set of switches is made of a single assembly, typically having 7, 5, or 3 switches molded out of an elastomeric material such as rubber.
  • Figure 5 shows a first switch 90 and a second switch 92.
  • the spaces 94 beneath the switches are connected by molded channels 96, which also connect to molded surge chambers 98. This is so that when a switch is depressed, the air beneath it can escape to another switch or surge chamber.
