Abstract

1,224,055. Electrically amplified musical drums. MEAZZI S.R.L., F. CALDIRONI, and A. OLIVIERI. 6 May, 1968 [10 May, 1967], No. 21325/68. Heading G5J. The vibrations of a drum diaphragm are picked-up and amplified by magnetic material vibrating with the diaphragm and co-operating with an electromagnet. In one embodiment, Fig. 1, a plate of magnetic material is attached to the centre of the diaphragm 11 of the drum 12 and is arranged to co-operate magnetically with a coil 14 which is connected through leads 16 to an amplifier. A magnetic shield 15 is arranged around coil 14, the electromagnet assembly being attached to the side of the drum by a support 13. In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown), which is more suitable for drums in which the amplitude of the vibrations is large, the magnet is actuated by vibrations of the diaphragm through a pivotal lever (17). A small pan (19) attached to lever (17) carries a resilient pad (20) which bears against the diaphragm of the drum under the action of a spring (21) which is adjustable by a screw (22) threaded into the support (13).
