Description
J ly 21, 1964 R. ROSS CYMBAL AND SIZZLE COMBINATION Filed March 29. 1962 Russel Ross 1 N VEN TOR.
United States Patent 3,141,370 CYll IBAL AND SIZZLE COMBINATIGN Russel Ross, RD. 2, Punxsutawney, Pa. Filed Mar. 29, 1962, Ser. No. 183,425 6 Claims. (Cl. 84-402) This invention relates to cymbals, generally categorized, more particularly to sizzle-cymbals, and has to do with a significant advance in that it permits the user, a drum-- mer, to dispense with the commonly used sizzle-cymbal and, attaching the invention to convert a standard cymbal into a sizzle-cymbal.
The currently used self-contained sizzle-cymbal (as distinguished from a sizzle attachment for a cymbal) is one having rivets or the like fitted into circumferentially spaced holes adjacent the marginal edge or rim and collared with loosely mounted metal washers which when set into action vibrate and produce a metallic clink-clank or so-called sizzle sound effect. When the tempo and rhythmical character of the musical composition calls for accentuation andemphasis, the sizzle effect can be called upon for strikingly unique effects.
However to have to resort to a specially made sizzle cymbal for such dynamics and color is expensive inasmuch as a sizzle-cymbal is usable only for sizzle effects. Then, too, an extra cymbal adds to transportation difficulties of the drummers traps. Therefore, and as stated, one object of this invention is to provide a simple,, practical and highly effective attachment which enables the user to employ it interchangeably, if desired, on any conventional-type cymbal with a radius greater than the longest arm of the herein-disclosed attachment. Experience has shown that the invention, when properly applied and appropriately adjusted, will not mar the cymbals fine finished surface. It will improve the timber or tonequality of the cymbal (expensive or not) and when not in use may be readily detached and conveniently and compactly stored in ones accessory case. Although expressly adapted and designed for use on cymbals it lends itself to use on other diametered sizes dependent on the length and cross-sectional gauge of the arms.
Briefly the herein disclosed invention, construed as an attachment, comprises a plurality of specially designed arms or legs (three or more) one short and two long having U-shaped or correspondingly constructed at their free outer ends defining cymbal riding fingers responsive to the vibrating cymbal. If three arms-and this is the preferred adaptationare used six fingers are brought actively into play with ample space between at least two arms for unhampered stick-work. An adapter such as a simple hub serves to effectually assemble and operatively mount the inner ends of the arms. In keeping with one embodiment of the concept the adapter has marginal sleeves and the sleeves provide adequate bearings in which the inner ends of the arms are journaled for nominal rotary motion.
In one embodiment of the invention ball and socket joints are provided inwardly of and in alignment with the sleeve-type bearings thus permitting the desired action with requisite nicety. In the other form or embodiment slots are provided for nail-like heads on the inner anchorable ends of said arms.
Then, too, the concept features a hold-down finger-nut and felt washers cooperating with a screw threaded stud and this arrangement permits controlled adjustment of the arms and attending lingers for manually regulable cymbal tonal effects.
3,141,370 Patented July 21, 1964 Further, it is an objective in the instant matter to improve upon prior devices, for example, the two-legged Thomas Sizzler cymbal attachment disclosed in Patent 3,009,379 by employing three arms (or legs) two long and one short in that with such arrangement the assemblage is stable and is more securely maintained in operative position. From the manufacturers point of view the present invention is desirable in that it comprises a minimum of component parts which can be precision made and readily assembled. With the herein disclosed adaptation the drummer can control the sizzle sound simply by tightening the retaining nut with the result that a wide range of effects from muffled or muted sound to controlled sizzle is attainable. Moreover, the hole in the adapter hub or collar is non-threaded making it an easy matter to readily apply and remove the attachment.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
FKGURE l is a view in perspective showing a supported cymbal with the tonal control attachment cooperatively mounted thereon in readiness for use;
FIGURE 2 is a view with parts in section and elevation taken on the plane of the line 2--2 of FIGURE 1 with the component parts appropriately enlarged to show the construction and arrangement thereof;
FIGURE 3 is a still further enlarged detail section on the section line 33 of FIGURE 2;
FTGURE 4 is a top plan view of the attachment removed from the cymbal;
FIGURE 5 is an enlarged bottom plan of the adapter or hub with outer end portions of the arms or legs broken FIGURE 6 is a view on a scale similar to FIGURE 5 and showing a top plan illustrating a modification in the construction and arrangement of the attached imier ends of the several arms; and
FIGURE 7 is a section on the plane of the line 77 of FIGURE 6.
Attention is first directed to the form or modification appearing in FIGS. 1 to 5, inclusive. Noting FIGS. 1 and 2 in particular the cymbal is denoted by the numeral 8, this being a conventional cymbal construction the body portion being denoted at it) and the concave convex or domical mountin at 12. In practice, generally stated, cymbals are supported either on a floor stand or simply on a support rod which is mounted on the periphery of a drum (not shown). In either instance the support member comprises a relatively stationary vertical rod 14 having a reduced upper end which is screw-threaded to provide a stud 16. This stud extends through and upwardly beyond the central opening in the mount or mounting 12, the upper end portion 18 being provided with a knurled or an equivalent thumb nut 2t) to retain the cymbal atop a felt or an equivalent washer 22 which is sandwiched between the mount 12 and a supporting nut 24 on the stud, in the manner illustrated. The readily applicable and removable cymbal attachment comprises a central adapter and several radial circumferentially spaced outstanding arms or legs. The adapter comprises a rigid metal collar or hub denoted generally (FIG. 5) by the numeral 26 and comprising a circular or disk-like plate 28 having a hole fill therein, said hole being nonsthreaded and fitted rotatably and removably over the stud 18. For rigidity the marginal edge portion of the hub has a depending flange denoted generally at 31. Formed integrally with the marginal portion of the adapter and projecting radially therefrom at equidistant circumferentially spaced points are sleeves 32 which constitute bearings. Inwardly of the sleeves the hub is provided with rectangular slots 34. As shown in FIG. 4 three arms or legs of longitudinally bowed (bendable metal) are pro vided. There are two long legs 36 and one short leg 32:. The inner end portions of all of the legs (in the two embodiments shown) are journaled for nominal movement or rotation in their respective bearing sleeves 32. The extreme inner ends of the arms or legs are provided with disk-like heads (resembling a nailhead) said heads 40 being seated or anchored movably in their respective slots 34. Each arm is provided, usually at the outer end with a substantially U-shaped or similarly shaped member 42 the central portion of which is operatively connected with the arm whereby said member is disposed in a plane at right angles to the lengthwise axis of the arm and the free end portions 44 provide cymbal contacting vibration responsive fingers. In assembling the hub it will be noted that the centrally apertured portion rests on a compressibly resilient felt washer 4-6 (FIG. 2) which is atop the crest of the mount 12. A third felt washer 43 encircles the stud and rests atop the hub and is interposed between the hub and the nut 20 as illustrated. With this construction it will be evident that the bearing sleeves and the journaled headed ends of the arms are constructed to permit loose vibration of the arms. However, by adjusting the thumb nut 24 the degree and consequently freedom of movement of the arms can be effectively regulated and controlled.
In the modification seen in FIG. 7 the same basic principle of construction is utilized. Here the adapter hub is denoted by the numeral 50 and comprises a strong metal or equivalent plate or disk 52; approximately one inch in diameter with a hole 54 of about of an inch in diameter. The marginal reinforcing flange is denoted at 56 and the circumferentially spaced outstanding or projecting bearing sleeves are denoted at 53. The sleeves accommodate the adjacent confined or journaled portions of the arms 36A and 38A. In this instance and as better shown in FIG. 7 the inner end portions of the arms are provided with ball-shaped heads 60 which are seated in indentations or circumferentially spaced bosses 62 which provide sockets therefor. Thus simple ball and socket joints between the arms and the hub are had.
In use the attachment is mounted as illustrated in FIG. 2 simply by placing the Washer 46 over the stud, fitting the apertured portion of the hub thereon, placing the washer 48 over the stud and clamping it with the retaining and assembling nut 20. It is permissible, sometimes desirable, to manually bend the legs or arms so that they rest lightly on the cymbal and vibrate freely on the sur face. The degree of vibration and variably selected tonal efiects can be controlled by tightening or loosening the nut 20. By varying the thickness of the washer or washers and properly bending the :arms, controlled regulation of vibratory effects can be achieved. In practice the cymbal itself should be tilted slightly with the low side toward the drummer. This cymbal position will ensure that the attachment will always hang with the short leg pointing to the top (FIG. 1) of the cymbal thus leaving the onethird lower area of the cymbal free for playing with the sticks and without interference from the legs 36 of the attachment.
As should now be evident to the reader, the use of more than two legs, as herein shown, described and claimed is a significant part of the inventive concept particularly (as brought out in FIGS. 1 and 4) wherein the two legs 36 are longer than the companion short leg 38. This is so because with the short leg at the top as illustrated in FIG. 1 a self-performing stabilizer effect is t achieved which results in keeping the attachment in its given position in FIG. 1 and also permits the tone control on sound vibration to be achieved, that is, when the intended clamping pressure is applied to the adapter or hub.
It is believed that a careful consideration of the description in conjunction with the views of the drawing will enable the reader to obtain a clear and comprehensive understanding of the construction, operation, mode of use and features and advantages of the overall invention. Therefore a more extensive description is thought to be unnecessary.
Minor changes in shape, size, materials, and rearrangement of component parts may be resorted to in actual practice without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the invention as claimed.
