' 6 Claims.
This invention relates to a unique noise clappingdevice, the general object of the invention being to provide a casing having a clapper disk or the like loosely arranged therein so thatwhen the casing is rhythmically poundedior moved the disk striking parts of the casing will produce a tapping noise so, that theuser can employ this tapping noise to accompany dancing or dance music especially so-called swing music.
"I am sufiiciently conversant; with drummers traps and accessories to realize that various accoutrements have been evolved and produced to clap out rhythmical taps and beats such as castanets, rattling bones and the like. Governed by this general knowledge of the state of the art and trade I have evolved and produced a structure which is in effect a miniature drum, the same being characterized by an annular rim of suitable materiaL and vibratory opposed parallel heads, the rim and head beats being produced by an internal flat-faced impact object so proportioned and arranged as to enable the user to features of construction and in the combination.
and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of one form of the invention. 1 j p Y FigureZ is a sectional View with parts in elevation of a device made in accordance with the invention but including a single handle having a pair of the rhythm or cadence clapper units at its ends. i I
Figure 3 is a sectional view through the miniature drum-likecasing and showing a pin passing therethrough for holding the impact disk temporarily against movement.
Figure 4 is a perspective, view of thevimpact element or disk. v I
Figure 5 is a view of the disk silencing pin.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the device minus the handle.
As shown in these views the device comprises a cylinder I open at both ends and these ends are adapted to be closed by the circular countersunk plates or vibratory diaphragms 2 which have their countersunk portions pressed into the 0:71-
inder and held therein by: friction; A or equivalent clapper element 3 of much smaller diameter than the cylinder is loosely placed in the" cylinder and I prefer to make this disk of brass or lead while the cylinder I and the cover plate 2 may be of tin or light weight metal and the disk is also provided with the perforations 4. The
parts are so constructed and arranged that when with the holes 5 and a pin .6 preferably of wood is adapted to bevpassed through two of these holes into engagement with the disk so asto.
temporarily hold the same stationary. .This is desirable when the device is being carried about in the pocket or otherwiseand it is not desired for the device to make any noise. Also a handle 1 can be attached to the device by having its reduced end inserted into one of the holes 5 or if desired the handle may be formed as shown. at l in Figure 2 and one of the devices placed on each end'of said handle. Both in the form shown in Figure land that shown in Figure the handle is grasped and shaken so that the device will produce a tapping noise. If desired the device can be used without the handle as shown in Figure 6.
In its simplest form, as shown in Figure 6, the essential unit of the structure is in the nature of a miniature drum. That is to say, it is characterized by an annular rim or appropriate mate rial and opposed parallel vibratory and drum ming or clap-sounding heads. The actual drumming is done from the inside,'that is,-through the instrumentality of the disk or impact element,
this intermittently impacting the heads andrim.
In this arrangement the clapper-style drum thus produced-may be held in one hand and rattled by appropriate manipulation to produce predetermined recurring clap or drum beats. Or the device may betapped against a solid object or between the palms of the hands of the user according to his own interpretive discretion. Or the device may be supplied with a handle as shown in Figure 1, this to provide leverage and to render the drum unit somewhat more sensitive than would be the case if cupped in the hand.
Finally,- the device, as before indicated, may be of the duplex arrangement seen in Figure 2, in which instance the baton-like handle may be whipped, spun between the palms of the hands that the advantages and novel features of the,
invention will be readily apparent.
It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
' Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is: I
l. A noise making device comprising a cylinder, closure members for the ends of the cylinder, and a disk loosely arranged in the cylinder, the parts being of such form and material as to produce a tapping noise when the device is shaken to cause the disk to strike parts of the cylinder and closure members.
2. A noisemaking device comprising a cylinder, closure members for the ends of the cylinder and a disk loosely arranged in the cylinder, the parts being of such form and material as to produce a "tapping noise when the device is shaken to cause the disk to strike parts of the cylinder and closure member, saidcylinder having holes therein, and a pin adapted to be placed through the holes to hold the disk against movement.
, 3. A noise making device comprising a cylinder,
closure members for the ends of the cylinder and a disk loosely arranged in the cylinder, the parts being of such form and material as to produce a tapping noise when the device is shaken to cause the disk to strike parts of the cylinder and closure members,-and a handle attached to apart of the cylinder. I
4. As a new article of manufacture, a miniature hand-style portable rhythm establishing and beating drum comprising an annular rim,
forming a shell, a pair of vibratory parallel heads mounted on opposite ends of said rim to provide a drumming space between the heads, and a flat faced impact element mounted loosely in said space for' intermittently impacting the heads and shell, whereby to permit the user to manipulate the device in a manner to facilitate metering dance steps and to accompany a musical instrument. 1
5. As a new article of manufacture, a miniature hand-style portable rhythm establishingand beating drum comprising an annular rim forming a shell, a pair of vibratory parallel heads space for intermittently impacting the heads and shell, and a handle attached to and extending outwardly from said rim in the mannerand for the purposes described.
6. A duplex rhythm clapping ccntrivance of the class described comprising a longitudinally elongated handle, and, duplicate clapper unitson opposite ends of said handle, each unit comprising a miniature drum including an annular shell,
a pair of spaced parallel vibratory diaphragms mounted thereon, and'a clapper element mount- 7 ed between the diaphragms and within the limits of the shell;
