Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a hi-hat stand, and more particularly to a novel hi-hat stand structure that greatly improves pedal operation during performance.

(Prior Art) A high-hat stand consists of a lower fixed cymbal and an upper movable cymbal arranged at the top of the stand. The upper movable cymbal is moved up and down to join or open with the lower fixed cymbal while playing. Since the operating rod of the upper movable cymbal is always urged upward by a spring, the player controls the movable cymbal by pressing and releasing the pedal.

However, with this type of hi-hat stand, in order to accurately express the performer's intentions, the movable cymbal is required to operate quickly and accurately, or in other words, with good responsiveness.

Mechanically, this responsiveness returns quickly when the pedal that moves the cymbal operating rod is pressed lightly. As explained earlier, the actuating rod is always urged upward by a spring, so in order to press the pedal lightly, the spring must be weakened. In order to return, the spring must be made stronger, which is completely contradictory.

In addition, during performance, there is a mechanism that allows the cymbals to open and close delicately.In other words, when the cymbals are closed, they are firmly closed, but by delicate pedal operations, the cymbals can be opened or closed slightly. required.

However, in the conventional kojo hat stand, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the cymbal operating rod 90 is directly connected to the pedal 100, The actuation amount is the actuation amount of the cymbal actuating rod 90, and when the pedal 100 is depressed, a force of the same magnitude as the spring pressure of the spring device 95 is required. In addition, the reference numeral 96 in the figure
a connecting member that connects the spring of the spring device and the actuating rod;
97 is a chain connecting the connecting member 96 and the pedal 100.

Therefore, for those with a direct connection structure,
Even if various improvements have been made, in the end, no improvements have been made in response to the above requirements, and the feel of the performance is simply changed by the strength of the spring and the difference in resistance. It was just a series of small improvements.

(Problem N that the invention seeks to solve) Therefore, in view of the above situation, the inventor of this invention has made various experiments and improvements, and as a result, as long as the pedal and the cymbal operating rod are directly connected, We realized that we could not achieve this request and needed to come up with a new mechanical structure, and as an answer, we developed a rotating member that applies the principle of a movable pulley to the pedal and cymbal operating rod. They discovered that the connection can be made through the .

In other words, by applying the principle of a movable pulley, this invention allows the pedal to be stepped on with less force, the pedal returns quickly, and the cymbal can be pressed firmly, while allowing delicate pedal operations. The object of the present invention is to provide a hi-hat stand that is extremely responsive and has excellent performance operation.

In addition to the above objects, the present invention also aims to provide a new hi-hat stand that ensures the straightness of the cymbal operating rod, ensures smooth movement of the rod, and thus smooth operation of the cymbal. It is something.

(Means for Solving the Problem) That is, the hi-hat stand according to the present invention is a hi-hat stand in which a cymbal operating rod moves up and down by the movement of a foot pedal.

The present invention proposes a structure of a hi-hat stand, characterized in that the cymbal operating rod is connected to a rotating shaft of a foil member, and the foil member is rotated and moved up and down by a foot pedal.

(Embodiments) The present invention will be described below along with embodiments according to the attached drawings.

Fig. i5g is a partially omitted longitudinal sectional view of a hi-hat stand showing one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a sectional view of essential parts showing another example, Fig. 3 is a diagram of the operating principle of this invention, and Fig. 4 The figure is a conceptual diagram showing the operation of the hi-hat stand of this invention, M
Each figure in FIG. 45 is a conceptual diagram showing various functions of the present invention.

First, the overall structure of the hi-hat stand of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

As shown in the figure, a lower fixed cymbal 11 and an upper movable cymbal 12 are arranged on the upper part of the hi-hat stand IO. The lower fixed cymbal 11 is fixed to the main body pipe 13 of the stand, whereas the upper movable cymbal 12 is connected to a cymbal operating rod 15 inserted into the main body pipe 13.
It is attached to the lower fixed cymbal 11 and moves up and down according to the rotation of the operating rod 15, and connects and opens with the lower fixed cymbal 11.

The operating port 15 of the upper movable cymbal 12 is always urged upward by a spring, and in this embodiment, a spring device 30 as shown is attached. This spring device 30 includes a main body cylindrical part 31 and an adjustment cap 32 screwed onto the upper part thereof.4 A lower spring receiving member 36 provided at the lower part of the main body cylindrical part 31 and an upper part provided on the adjustment cap 32. A coil spring 35 is held between a spring receiving member 37 and can be expanded and contracted freely. The main body of the spring device 30 is attached to the pipe main body 13 of the stand by a bracket 39, and the rod support 36a of the lower spring receiving member 36 is connected to the operating rod 15 via a connecting member 38.
The actuating rod 15 is connected to the actuating rod 15 so as to constantly apply an upward biasing force to the actuating rod 15.

Note that the spring that applies the biasing force to the actuation rod 15 may be directly wound around the actuation rod 15 within the pipe body 13.

In this invention, when the cymbal operating rod 15 is operated by the foot pedal 20, the cymbal operating rod 15 and the foot pedal 20 are connected via a foil member 40, which is a movable pulley member.

To explain this using the example of FIGS. 1 and 2, as shown in FIG.
1. The foil member 40 is therefore connected to the connecting lever 5
0, it is suspended from the connecting member 38.

As shown in the figure, a chain member 60 is wound around this foil member 40, with its front end 61 fixed to the front seat plate 21 of the pedal and its rear end 62 attached to the front of the pedal.
The wheel member 40 is rotated and moved up and down by the pedal 20.

Note that the front end 61 of the chain member 60 is as shown in FIG.
By fixing it to the bolt 63 and holding it so that it can move back and forth with the adjustment screw 64, the length of the chain member 60 can be changed.
As a result, the height of the front portion of the pedal 20 changes, making it possible to adjust the height of the pedal.

In addition to the illustrated sprocket, a partial sprocket can also be used as the foil member.

(Function) Fig. 3 shows the operating principle of the hi-hat stand according to the present invention.
It is obvious that by using 0, F=1/2W and the force is balanced by 1/2 of W.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram specifically illustrating the operating principle of the hi-hat stand of the present invention, and as is clear from the figure, the cymbal operating rod 15 and pedal 20 are connected to the foil member that is the movable pulley. By connecting via 40, from the principle of a pulley, the formula: Force to pull down the cymbal 12 [W] x Distance traveled by the cymbal 12 [h] = Depressing force of the pedal 20 [P] x Working distance of the pedal 20 [H] holds true (PH=Wh), from which the following relationship is derived.

H = 2h, h = 1/2H P = l/2W, W = 2P Therefore, the force required to pull down the cymbal [W], that is, the pedal force [P], can be reduced to half, making it smaller and lighter than before. can do.

Furthermore, on the other hand, the actuation distance [H] of the pedal 20 required to lower the cymbal 12 by a certain distance [hl] is doubled, which means that the stroke of the pedal needs to be increased.

Next, to describe the actual embodiment of the hi-hat stand in more detail, Figure 5 is a conceptual diagram showing various functions when a foil member is used.

Note that a comparison between this example and a conventional product is shown in Table 1 at the end of this explanation column.

That is, in FIG. 5A, if the spring pressure applied to the cymbal (operating rod) is F, the force required to dance the pedals is 172F (half). About this.

Assuming that the spring pressure is the same as the conventional one (in the case of invention A in Table 1), this means that the pedal of the present invention structure can be stepped on with a lighter force.

Alternatively, invention B in Table 1 means that a spring with stronger spring pressure than before can be used.
．． This shows that even when using a spring with five times the spring pressure, it is possible to press the pedal with less force (3/4) than before.

Based on the same principle as above, (B) in the same figure shows that when the movable cymbal is joined to the fixed cymbal and closed, and when the pedal is stepped on with the force of P, the movable cymbal has two
This shows that a force of P is applied. In reality, the cymbal is held down by the force 2P-F, which is the spring pressure F.

Compared to the force of the conventional P-F, it is firmly joined, and in performance terms, it closes tightly, making it possible to perform favorably.

Figure (C) shows that when the pedal is moved 81 times, the cymbal moves 1/2S.

This means that the pedals can be operated lightly, and is particularly useful for playing techniques in which the cymbals are closed first and then opened and closed delicately.

Furthermore, figure (D) is a diagram showing the return speed of the pedal. When the cymbal (operating loft) returns at speed V, the pedal is 2v
It shows that it returns at a speed of

This means that the plate of the pedal returns to rest against the sole of the player's foot, giving the player a pleasant feeling and greatly improving his/her playing technique.

(Effects) As shown and explained above, in the hi-hat stand according to the present invention, the pedal and the cymbal operating rod are connected via a foil member as a movable pulley. We were able to produce the following excellent effects as a high head stand.

First, since the pedals can be pressed with less force, the feeling of pressing down on the conventional pedals can be greatly reduced, and the operability can be greatly improved. Furthermore, it has become possible to use stronger springs than conventional ones as needed, and it has become possible to widen the selection range of spring standards to be used.

Furthermore, since the cymbals can be pressed down with a strong force, a tight closing can be achieved, especially when the cymbals are joined together, and crisp and sharp performance is possible.

Furthermore, since the amount of pedal movement is larger than that of the cymbal (actuating rod), delicate movements can be easily made, making it easy to repeatedly open and close the cymbal in small steps. Ta.

In addition, the return of the pedal is faster and the pedal feels like it is touching the sole of the player's foot, giving the player a favorable feeling and improving his/her playing technique.

As described above, the present invention has been able to provide a hi-hat stand that has so many advantages that cannot be compared with conventional products, has extremely good responsiveness, and is excellent in performance operations.
