Description

The present invention relates to an operation support assisting device for percussion instruments.

For example, when a physically handicapped person or an elderly person with weak grip strength is manufactured by changing the size of two ball parts as an auxiliary device when playing a percussion instrument with a mallet, the side to grip according to the grip strength and ease of grip. It is known that the difference in the size of the two ball parts makes it possible to enjoy the difference in the tone color and the feeling of bouncing when hit (see "Patent Document 1" below).

Utility Model Registration No. 3136758

However, even with the above auxiliary device, it was difficult for people with physical or mental disabilities to operate (play) percussion instruments such as drums with their own human body functions in support schools and welfare facilities. Focusing on this, he tried to solve the difficulty of participating in music activities because his ability to hit percussion instruments was small.

In the present invention, a support column standing on a flat main body and an arm pivotally supported at the center of the support column are provided, a spring is held at the rear portion of the arm, and a thread is held in a movable state at the front portion of the arm, and at the rear of the arm. Is provided with a spring so that the arm can be returned to a predetermined position, the thread can be moved in the front-rear direction in the length direction of the thread by a power source, and a surface tape is provided on the arm so that a percussion instrument can be attached. A switch that enables the power source to be operated by operating a switch from a certain location is installed in the main body.

The arm extending from the support column installed in the main body moves like a seesaw by the movement of the thread, and the arm is returned to a predetermined position by a spring behind the arm, so that the switch is operated. When the thread by the drive source is wound up, the arm is tilted forward, and the drive source is stopped by the switch operation, the arm returns to the original position by the elastic force of the spring, and thereafter, the operation is repeated by the operation of the switch. It becomes possible, and the percussion instrument can be operated (played) by the arm.

The present invention is an operation support assisting device for percussion instruments that enables the above-mentioned people to hit percussion instruments simply by pressing a switch, and since it can be easily used by users and supporters without a heavy burden, it has been used for music activities so far. The above people who had difficulty in participating can easily participate in music activities.

It is a perspective view of the Example of this invention.

The operation support assisting device for percussion instruments of the present invention has a support column erected on a main body installed near the percussion instrument, an arm that is pivotally supported by the support column and can move in a seesaw state, and the front part of the arm is moved up and down. A movable thread that is held by the front part of the arm and one end is fixed to the main body, an elastic member that is provided behind the arm and returns the arm to a predetermined position, and the movable thread that can be moved in the length direction. It is composed of a power source for winding the other end of the movable thread, a mounting member for detachably providing a tool for operating the percussion instrument on the arm, and an operation unit for on / off control of the power source.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the percussion instrument operation support assisting device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

1 is a wooden main body of a substantially flat plate installed near a percussion instrument (not shown) such as a drum or a tambourine, 2 is a wooden support on a pole erected on the main body 1, and 3 is a support 2 approximately in the center. A wooden arm that is pivotally supported and moves like a seesaw, 4 is a movable thread that is held by the front part of the arm 3 that moves the front part of the arm 3 up and down, and one end is fixed to the main body 1. An elastic member such as a spring that is provided in the arm 3 to return the arm 3 to a predetermined position, 6 is a power source that winds the other end of the movable thread 4 that allows the movable thread 4 to move in the length direction, and 7 is attached to the arm 3. A mounting member such as a surface tape, 9 for detachably providing a tool 8 such as a drumstick for operating the percussion instrument, 9 is an operation unit for on / off control of the power source 6 from a remote location.

Here, the power source 6 is an electric motor having a rotating shaft, and a pulley 10 is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the movable thread 4 is fixed to the pulley 10.

When the power source 6 is on, the power source 6 winds the movable thread 4 around the pulley 10 and lowers the front of the arm 3, so that the tool 9 attached to the arm 3 can hit the percussion instrument and play. When off, the movable thread 4 is opened and the front of the arm 3 is lifted by the elastic member 5.

As the driving power of the power source 6, a power source prepared on the pedestal 1 or externally can be used. In this embodiment, the battery 11 is provided on the pedestal 1, and the main switch 12 is separated from the operation unit 9. Is provided.

When the user or a third party assisting the user turns on the main switch 12 and a signal is input to the operation unit 9 from the outside by the operation of the user, the power source 6 rotates clockwise in the drawing and the pulley 10 also rotates at the same time. By rotating in the same direction and winding up the movable thread 4, the front side of the arm 3 is pulled to the lower left and falls down, so that the tool 8 attached to the arm 3 can hit the percussion instrument and play.

In this case, it is desirable to arrange the power source 6 at the center of the main body 1 so as not to interfere with the operation of the arm 3.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a ring that acts as a pulley, and is a thread stopper that can adjust the length of the movable thread 4.

The operation unit 9 can be operated by an external switch (not shown) by the user at a location separated from the female side of the 3.5 mm 2-pole earphone jack.

As described above, according to the operation support assisting device for percussion instruments of the present invention, a user who has a physical dysfunction and has difficulty in performing accurate movements with force can play percussion instruments and play music if he / she can press a switch. Since you can participate in various activities such as the beginning, you can broaden your range of activities.
