Description

Firing ring.

Object of the invention

This utility model application, Its purpose is a firing ring for drumsticks, which provides a set of important advantages and innovations.

More specifically, the inventor has created a ring that fits on any type of drumsticks and others intermediary elements between the musician and the instrument of percussion, to give you the role of a firing pin where you can couple these rings, being able to be of different materials: soft, elastic or more rigid like wool, rubber, nylon, etc. the drumstick is inserted through the hole of the ring and is housed in any part of the neck of the drumstick. Its function is to exercise additional firing pin providing another type of sound, bell, etc. being able to contribute different nuances in the percussion instrument without the problem of having to change drumsticks or turn them over several times in the same performance, and even being able to couple several rings for different sounds in the same instrument or in several, and with the possibility of coupling it to other objects: flutes, fingers, sticks, etc. so that that object can perform the function of firing pin.

Background of the invention

Percussionists and drums are one of the most important musicians of a band, as they take care of the rhythm and create different sound effects on the instrument, providing a multitude of nuances and color to the music.

In the past there have been several types of strikers for different percussion instruments such as drumsticks, clubs, brushes, etc. Normally the drumstick is elongated and cylindrical with a banging end, the maces are same but the hitting end is usually thicker and this one firing end with materials from softer to stiff and fas brushes of a shorter length and with filaments that they hit.

There are currently many types of drumsticks of different materials with a firing pin on one end or one at each end where you have to turn to change of firing pin in what is still wasting time during a performance.

The present invention solves the problem of drumstick changes during a performance to provide Different sounds and nuances.

Description of the invention

The firing ring, object of the present invention, is of the type constituted by a cylindrical ring of a elastic material such as rubber, neoprene, etc. which is introduced in any type of drumstick by pressure, making it roll to the place desired by the musician. To get another type of sounds with more rigid or less elastic materials such as wool, nylon, wood, etc. The firing ring shall be of the type constituted by a ring preferably of metal or fiber, with one or several notches on the inner perimeter of the ring, and being concave across its outer perimeter to house the different materials, and this preferably joined by glue, glue, etc. To fix the ring along drumsticks of different thicknesses, it They can use several methods: glue, velcro, etc. in this case an elastic in the form of preferably rubber ring, which depending on the thickness of the drumstick, this ring will be thicker when the drumstick is thin or less when the drumstick is thicker. Adapting one or more of these elastic on the drumstick a little before the final desired position, the firing ring will be introduced to the elastic and by pressure will be lodged in the notch or notches of its perimeter inside, to be perfectly fixed in the place preferred by the musician.

The firing ring is characterized by insert a drumstick or other elongated element in it; Yes it is elastic, by pressure or by a mechanism constituted by an elastic that is previously attached to the drumstick and a ring preferably of metal or fiber with a notch in its perimeter interior and exterior coated with the material that finally It will hit the instrument.

One or more punchers may be available additional, placed in different parts of the drumstick, being able to be of a multitude of materials and therefore being able to perform infinity of sounds and timbres in the different instruments of percussion.

Of course, any modification or alteration of the form or structure or materials that occurs in the present invention, but modifies its essentiality, is protected in this application.

Brief description of the designs

Figure 1 shows a firing ring (1), rubber elastic constructed according to the invention, introduced to pressure on the neck of the drumstick (2).

Figure 2 shows a firing ring for non-elastic materials constructed according to the invention in which distinguish the main elements that compose it.

Description of a preferred embodiment

In view of the figures above commented and according to the numbering adopted, you can observe in figure 1 a firing ring characterized in that it is built in one piece with elastic materials, ring-shaped cylindrical to fit directly on drumsticks.

We can also observe in figure 2 the realization of a firing ring for less elastic materials or more rigid, characterized by a constituted mechanism by an elastic (1) that is previously attached to the drumstick (2) and a ring (3) preferably of metal or fiber with a notch (4) in its interior perimeter and its concave exterior (5) covered with material (6) that will finally hit the instrument.

Claims (4)

1. Hammer ring (1) is characterized in that it is constituted by a cylindrical ring that fits in the drumsticks. 2. The firing ring (2) according to claim 1, characterized in that by means of a fixing mechanism it is possible to adapt several types of materials. 3. The firing ring according to claims 1 and 2 is characterized in that it can be coupled along the entire drumstick (2). 4. Hammer ring according to claims 1, 2 and 3 is characterized in that several hammer rings fig. 1 and fig. 2 in each drumstick (2).
