Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a pedal angle adjustment mechanism for a high hat cymbal stand.

[Conventional technology]

As is well known, the high hat cymbal stand is
an outer pipe that has a tripod-shaped support leg at its lower part and supports a lower cymbal at its upper end; an elevating shaft that is inserted into the outer pipe and supports the upper cymbal at a portion that projects above the outer pipe; and the outer pipe. a spring case supported by a gate frame provided at the lower end; a spring that raises the lifting shaft via a lifting member provided within the spring case and fixed to the lower end of the lifting shaft; and a spring connected to the lower end of the lifting shaft. It consists of a pedal that is connected via a member and allows the lifting shaft to be lowered by pressing the foot. This high-hat cymbal stand allows you to play by hitting the upper cymbal against the lower cymbal by pressing the pedal.
When you press the pedal, the lifting shaft attached to the upper cymbal lowers and the upper cymbal collides with the lower cymbal. When you take your foot off the pedal, the lifting shaft is raised by the spring force, and the upper cymbal moves away from the lower cymbal and the upper cymbal hits the lower cymbal. The pedal returns.

By the way, since the high-hat cymbal stand mentioned above is played by pressing the pedal with the foot, the initial angle of the pedal (the angle of inclination when the pedal is not pressed) has a large effect on playability.
For most conventional high hat cymbal stands, the initial angle of the pedal is determined at the manufacturing stage, so the player has to raise his or her foot to match the angle of the pedal and press the pedal. Therefore, playability due to individual differences among performers has been a problem.

For this reason, high-hat cymbal stands have recently been commercialized that allow the initial angle of the pedal to be adjusted according to the player's preference. This high hat cymbal stand is designed to adjust the initial angle of the pedal by moving the spring case supported by the gate frame up and down.
When the spring case is moved upward, the elevating member fixed to the lower end of the elevating shaft and connected to the spring in the spring case moves upward together with the spring case, and connects to the lower end of the elevating shaft via the connecting member. When the tip of the connected pedal is pulled up and the spring case is moved downward, the lifting shaft moves downward in the opposite way to the above and the tip of the pedal lowers, so you can adjust the initial angle of the pedal as you like. I can do it.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, since the conventional pedal angle adjustment mechanism described above adjusts the initial pedal angle by moving the spring case up and down, the spring case is supported by the gate frame so that it can move up and down. It is necessary to provide a means to fix the height at the adjusted position, which makes the structure of the pedal angle adjustment mechanism complicated, and the pedal angle is adjusted by moving a large and heavy spring case up and down. Since the pedal angle has to be adjusted, it is troublesome to adjust the pedal angle.

This idea was created in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to create a high-hat cymbal stand pedal that has a simple structure and allows for easy adjustment of the pedal angle. The object of the present invention is to provide an angle adjustment mechanism.

[Means to solve problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention pivots a pedal support member having a protruding rod at the tip of the pedal, and connects the pedal support member to the lower end of the member whose upper end is connected to the lower end of the elevating shaft. A rod holder that slidably holds the rod of the member from one side is pivotally mounted, and a rod holding member that faces the rod holder and slidably holds the rod from the other side is provided. The holding member and the rod receiver are connected via a tightening screw that tightens the rod holding member to the rod receiving side to fix the rod.

[Effect]

In other words, the pedal angle adjustment mechanism of this invention is
Instead of moving the spring case up and down as in the past, the angle of the pedal is adjusted at the connection between the lifting shaft and the pedal, and by loosening the tightening screw, the rod holding member and rod receiver can be adjusted. By moving the pedal support member between which the rod is held, up and down, the tip of the pedal, which is pivotally connected to the pedal support member, can be moved up and down, allowing the angle of the pedal to be adjusted as desired. However, when the tightening screw is tightened, the rod holding member is tightened to the rod receiving side, and the pedal support member, which holds the rod between the rod holding member and the rod receiving side, is fixed, so the pedal can be adjusted. It can be held at a certain angle. This pedal angle adjustment mechanism includes a pedal support member having a protruding rod pivotally connected to the tip of the pedal, a rod receiver pivotally connected to a connecting member connected to the lower end of the elevating shaft, and a rod receiver. Since it consists of a rod holding member facing the rod holding member and a tightening screw that tightens the rod holding member to the rod receiving side, its structure is simple, and the pedal supporting member can be moved up and down by loosening the tightening screw. Since the angle of the pedal can be adjusted simply by moving the pedal, the angle of the pedal can be adjusted easily.
