Description

Bass Drum Pedal {Bass Drum Pedal}

The present invention relates to a drum pedal used when playing a bass drum. Conventional drum pedals only hit the drums when they step on the foot, which limits the speed of playing the bass drum. Therefore, in order to enhance the musical expressiveness of the drum performance, a device that allows the bass drum to be played faster has been required.

Prior art that meets this need is US Pat. No. 6,002,076. The prior art has made it possible to play the drum faster by hitting the drum even when stepping on the heel of the foot and hitting the drum even when stepping on the heel. However, the prior art has a drum beater that operates in correspondence with the heel of the foot and a drum beater that operates in response to the heel, which is very complicated in structure and expensive in manufacturing.

The bass drum pedal of the present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a faster speed by allowing the player to hit the drum even when lifting the heel and to hit the drum even when stepping down the heel. It is to provide a drum pedal to play the drum.

Still another object of the present invention is to implement a drum pedal having the above function with only one drum beater, thereby simplifying the structure and lowering the manufacturing cost.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention and the base plate (1); A first pillar (2) fixed to the base plate and extending upward; A second pillar (3) arranged side by side in a symmetrical manner opposite the first pillar; A rotating shaft (4) rotatably installed and supported by a bearing in a hole drilled at the upper end of the first pillar (2) and the second pillar (3); A beater (5) fixed to the rotating shaft (4); A first link housing (6) fixed to the rotary shaft (4); A first link (7) fitted in the first link housing so as to be variable in position; A fixing screw (8) for fixing the first link to the first link housing; A second link housing (9) fixed to the rotary shaft (4); A second link (10) fitted in the second link housing so as to be variable in position; A fixing screw (8) for fixing the second link to the second link housing; Two supports 11 fixed to both left and right sides of the base plate; A fixed shaft 12 inserted into a hole drilled in the upper ends of the two supports 11 and connecting the two supports 11; A pedal (13) supported through a bearing to be rotatable to the fixed shaft (12); A belt 21 installed on the pedal and surrounding the instep of the player; A first lever 14 supported through the bearing so as to be rotatable to the fixed shaft 12; A second lever 15 supported through a bearing so as to be rotatable to the fixed shaft 12; A first projection (22) extending from the pedal (13) down the first lever (14); A second projection (23) extending from the pedal (13) above the second lever (15); A first hinge (16) connecting one end of the first lever (14) to the first link (7); A second hinge (17) connecting one end of the second lever (15) and the second link (10); Restoring rods 18 fixed to one end of the rotary shaft 4; A spring hook (19) connected to the restraint through a bearing so as to be rotatable; It is composed of a spring 20 is installed between the spring hook and the lower end of the first pillar.

Hereinafter, the operation of the base drum pedal of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 are perspective views showing the drum pedal of the present invention from different angles, respectively. The player inserts the foot between the pedal 13 and the belt 21 to play. When the foot of the player does not apply the force to the pedal, the beater 5 is stopped at a position far from the drum by the force of the spring 20 applied to the restraint 18.

When the player lifts the heel, a force is applied to the belt 21 surrounding the instep, and the pedal 13 rotates about the fixed shaft 12 and the heel side of the pedal is lifted. When the pedal is lifted up, the first protrusion 22 of the pedal exerts a force on the first lever 14. At this time, the contact between the second protrusion 23 and the second lever 15 of the pedal is separated. The first lever 14 rotates about the fixed shaft 12 to lower the first hinge 16. When the first hinge 16 moves down, the beater 5 strikes the drum by rotating the rotary shaft 4 through the first link 7. At this time, since the second link 10 also rotates together with the rotation shaft 4, the second hinge 17 moves upward and the second lever 15 is rotated about the fixed shaft 12 to thereby rotate the second lever. 15 is further away from the second protrusion 23 of the pedal.

Meanwhile, when the player presses the heel down, the pedal 13 rotates about the fixed shaft 12 and the heel side is lowered. At this time, the second protrusion 23 of the pedal exerts a force on the second lever 15, and the first protrusion 22 and the first lever 14 of the pedal are separated from each other. The second lever 15 rotates about the fixed shaft 12 to push up the second hinge 17. The rotating shaft 4 is rotated by the second link 10 connected to the second hinge 17 and the beater 5 strikes the drum. At this time, the first link 7 fixed to the rotating shaft 4 is also rotated to lower the first hinge 16 and the first protrusion 22 and the first lever 14 of the pedal are further apart. .

The bass drum pedal of the present invention has the effect of allowing the drummer to hit the drum even when the drum player lifts the heel and to hit the drum even when the heel is stepped down to enable the player to play the drum quickly.

In addition, the present invention has the effect of reducing the manufacturing cost by simplifying the structure because it is operated by only one beater when lifting or down the heel.
