Definitions

  • the individual protective case for cymbals is an individual bag or cover for each cymbal, also called ride cymbals, with a radial aperture, which can be used along with any type of existing cymbal cases or bags, whether flexible or rigid, with or without centre guide, without having to remove the individual cover or case for cymbals. It is also used to install cymbals on, or to remove them from, their stands or lecterns, and to protect them when not in use, thus preventing the direct contact of hands with cymbals, or to protect them from dust and particles.
  • drum kit cymbals are delicate pieces sensitive to tact, which can be easily stained or soiled, and that is very difficult to preserve them with its original shine and sound.
  • a factor that severely affects the cymbals is the body fat left on the surface upon manipulation when they are installed on, or removed from, its stand, whereupon they get black and opaque and, consequently, deliver a less brilliant and symphonic sound.
  • a dirty cymbal has a more opaque sound than a clean one.
  • the solution to install the cymbal on its stand is to wear gloves or use flannel cloths to avoid touching them, or simply avoid its use and wipe the cymbal occasionally, which is usual.
  • the musicians and, in this case, drummers usually install all instruments on the stage hours before the show, and a break is also common between songs or sets of songs, and even gigs are scheduled for several days during which the instruments remain on stage. All of this generates long periods during which the instruments are not used, exposing them to dust, moisture and eventually to human contact, such as by cleaning staff, production staff, setting crew, etc.
  • the present invention is a single individual case for cymbals or ride cymbals that, in addition to allowing the individual installation, removal, transportation and manipulation of the cymbal in different manners, it also allows for the installation of the cymbal or ride cymbal on the drum kit without being removed. It is the only cover or case that has a radial aperture, given that the existing covers or cases have only an opening on their circumference or side.
  • the present invention prevents the contact of the cymbal with fingers upon installation, removal, adjustment, cleaning (this case is also useful to carry out superficial cleaning) and an extremely useful tool is achieved, which fulfills a need not met so far, that is, protecting the cymbal or ride cymbal from the storage case or bag to the installation thereof.
  • the cymbals When the cymbals are not in use, they can be left on their stands (with the drum kit fully set up) without having to unbolt anything that secures them, and place a cover or case in each cymbal to protect it.
  • the individual protective case for cymbals, object of the present invention is the best solution so far to keep the cymbals clean and shiny, free of dust or grease, which, so far, are inevitable when the cymbals are handled, and even the cymbals can be protected from human contact in order to keep them as new as possible with time.
  • the individual protective case for cymbals is a circular bag tailor-made for cymbals, which has a 1 ⁇ 4-to-5 inches orifice in the center (Figure 1C) - depending on the size of cymbal - and a radial aperture that runs from the center of the bag to a point on the circumference, forming a radius, both on the top and bottom, and these apertures are joined forming a single one. (Figure 1D).
  • the individual protective case for cymbals is a circular bag that fully covers the cymbal and is made from a variety of materials such as: flannel, vinyl-leather, leather, polyester, and all types of thick, think, vinyl or rubbery fabrics. It can also be made from any semi-rigid material (Figure 1A).
  • the case includes a label of different sizes and shapes, depending on user requirements, usually in white; on this label can be written with pencil, pen or marker to identify the cymbals.
  • This label can be sewn on or glued on by sublimation, and the material can be vinyl or any material adapted to write on ( Figure 1B).
  • the case includes a closing (optional) as a strap or ribbon on the circumference, of about 2" to 15" (Figure 2J) - this measure can vary depending on the dimensions of the case and user requirements - which can be tied from one end to other of the radial aperture and may be joined or closed using different fasteners such as Velcro, loop and hook, snap fastener, hole button, or any type of harness, with buttonholes and laces, even magnetically, if magnets can be adapted to the closing of the case.
  • a closing as a strap or ribbon on the circumference, of about 2" to 15" ( Figure 2J) - this measure can vary depending on the dimensions of the case and user requirements - which can be tied from one end to other of the radial aperture and may be joined or closed using different fasteners such as Velcro, loop and hook, snap fastener, hole button, or any type of harness, with buttonholes and laces, even magnetically, if magnets can be adapted to the closing of the case.
  • the radial aperture of the case includes a clip, tab or flap, wherein a closing can be adapted as a fastener which can be magnetic, Velcro, zipper, cord, buttonholes and laces, any type of button, any type of harness or hooks or closing (Figure 2C) or any holding device known for such purpose.
  • the closing is optional so that the bag can be lacking it.
  • the radial closing can run from the upper central orifice to the lower central orifice, passing around a point on the circumference, forming a single closing that runs from top centre to bottom centre.
  • the bag can contain additional bags on the top and/or bottom as pockets to store small items such as pads, wrests, screws, flannels, cleaning liquids, etc. ( Figure 2B).
  • the stitching or hem thereof can be simple (just hem), over-spinning, both or none (if material such as tarp, canvas or impermeable plastic allows it).
  • An extra reinforcement can be placed along the circumference in order to improve endurance for transportation, either with extra seams or folds, over spinning on the entire perimeter, passing around the radius to the center of the bag; this is optional ( Figure 21).
  • the circumference closing or strap works perfectly as a handle for transportation or easy removal from other cymbal cases, as well as for an easier handling of the cymbal (Figure 2J).
  • rods or guides which can be made from steel, aluminum, resistant plastic, fiberglass or carbon, a mixture of these materials or any material that can be used as a rod to provide firmness and support.
  • the rod is held by the internal or external portion of the radial aperture, both upper and lower, as well as by the upper and lower radii ( Figure 3B), and it runs from the circumference to the center, surrounding it so that the center can be totally free; rods are also used from center to circumference, opposite to radius aperture ( Figure 3A). These rods are used so that when the bag or case is opened, it remains fully open for easy access to the cymbal or ride cymbal ( Figure 4 ).
  • the design as well as the amount of the rods can vary in thickness, shape, and amount, leaving to free choice any change in the design of the rods.
  • the rods can be used in only one of the sides of the individual protective case for cymbals.
  • the individual case for cymbals is a circular bag or a cymbal-shaped case (round or oval), made tailored to each cymbal to fully protect it. It can be opened (manually) to insert the cymbal, store it and close the bag for transportation, installation or storage.
  • the individual cymbal case exposes the stand of the cymbal, so that it can be installed as any cymbal on any base, following the conventional steps.
  • the bag can be removed.
  • the individual case can be used to carry the cymbals individually without direct contact with the same or without using a bigger case, in case of needing a single cymbal on certain stage, to avoid carrying the conventional cymbal case or bag.
