Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high hat cymbal stand to be played by causing two cymbals mounted thereon to strike against each other by the operation of a pedal.
  • this type of cymbal stand has been so arranged as to hold a rod fitted with a head cymbal by a compression coil spring housed in a support pipe.
  • the compression coil spring is contracted to bring down the rod, and when the pedal pressure is released, the rod and pedal are brought up to their original positions by the righting moment of the compression spring.
  • the cymbal stand of the aforesaid arrangement was handicapped by the fact that when the coil spring was contracted, its middle part presented a curved form leaning in a given direction, either abrading the inner wall surface of the support pipe housing said spring or striking against the rod introduced therethrough with the resultant occurrence of jarring noises.
  • the pedal pressure was regulated by turning with a driver or the like the adjustment screw disposed on the bottom end face of the support pipe so as to change the extent of contracting the compression coil spring.
  • this operation was rather troublesome and could not be carried out during performance.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a high hat cymbal stand which is of such construction as permits the pedal pressure to be easily adjusted even during performance.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the high hat cymbal stand of the present invention, showing its outlook
  • FIG. 2 is a longitudinal lateral section of a rod supporting mechanism, the main part of FIG. I, with the upper and lower parts of said mechanism broken away.
  • the general numeral denotes a high hat cymbal stand according to the present invention, which resembles an ordinary one in outlook.
  • Numeral I2 is a support pipe, which is set upright on the floor by a foldable leg assembly 12a. To the top end of the support pipe 12 is fitted by a connector 14 a hollow pipe 16 having a smaller diameter than the support pipe 12. To the upper outer circumference of the hollow pipe 16 is attached a metal part 18. On the metal part 18 is mounted a bottom cymbal 20.
  • a pedal 30 From the outer bottom circumference of the support pipe 12 projects an arm 28, at the furthest end of which is rotatably supported a pedal 30.
  • the rod 22 is connected to the pedal 30 so as to be moved up and down by the latter.
  • Numerals 32 and 34 denote substantially columnar spring rests having a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the support pipe 12. These spring rests are spatially disposed in a vertical direction within the support pipe 12 and mutually connected by a draw coil spring 36. On the opposite surfaces of the spring rests 32 and 34 are formed bosses 32a and 34a so projecting as to face each other.
  • each of the bosses 32a and 34a is cut out a helical groove 38, into which is forcefully twisted the helical projecting portion of the top and bottom inner surfaces of the draw coil spring 36.
  • the upper spring rest 34 In the central part of the upper spring rest 34 is perforated in the lengthwise direction a through hole 39 having a larger diameter than the rod 22.
  • the boss 32a of the lower spring rest 32 is provided with a screw socket of female threads 40 opening at the top.
  • the bottom end of the rod 22 is inserted through the hole 39 of the upper spring rest 34 down to the lower spring rest where the male threads 22a formed at said bottom end fit in with the female threads 40 of the lower spring rest 32.
  • a pair of opposite cavities 42 so as to allow for the free vertical movement of a pair of screws 58 as later described.
  • a ring 44 On the outer circumference of the support pipe 12 positioned below the cavities 42 is fitted a ring 44, which is fixed to the support pipe 12 by stop screws 46 penetrating said ring 44.
  • a stepped part 44a On the top side of the ring 44 is provided a stepped part 44a, on the vertical plane of which is formed an annular groove 48 opening to the outer circumference of the support pipe 12.
  • a hollow cylindrical knob 50 surrounding the support pipe 12 in a manner to cover the cavities 42.
  • the bottom end of the knob 50 is mounted on the horizontal plane of the stepped part 44a of the ring 44.
  • a female screw 50a On the inner surface of the knob 50 is cut out a female screw 50a. Between the female screw 50a and the outer circumference of the support pipe 12 is positionedva ring 54 provided with a male screw 54a to engage with the female screw 50a.
  • a pair of apertures 56 perforated in the direction of the center thereof.
  • the furthest end of each of a pair of screws 58 fitted into the apertures 56 is further introduced into the support pipe 12 through the cavity 42 formed therein and then into the upper spring rest 34. Accordingly, the rotation of the knob 50 causes the ring 54 to move vertically through the knob 50 and consequently the upper spring rest 34 connected to the ring 54 also to move vertically relative to the support pipe 12.
  • On one of the walls of the support pipe 12 which faces the lower spring rest 32 is bored a vertically narrow cavity 60, which is intended to allow for the free vertical movement of a rod denoted by numeral 62.
  • the male screw 620 formed at the inner end of the rod 62 is inserted through the cavity 60 into the lower spring rest 32.
  • a lever 66 To the base end of the rod 62 is rotatably connected one end of a lever 66 by means of a pin 64 and the other end of the lever 66 is connected to the end of the pedal 30 by means of a pin 68.
  • a high hat cymbal stand comprising a support member consisting of a hollow pipe 16 and support pipe 12 set upright by legs 12a and having a bottom cymbal 20 fitted to the top of said member, a ring-shaped upper spring rest 34 enclosed in the support pipe 12 and having a through hole 39 bored in the center, a draw coil spring 36 whose top end is held at the bottom end of the upper spring rest, a lower spring rest 32 disposed below the bottom end of the draw coil spring 36 and vertically movable through the supportpipe 12, the opposite faces of the upper and lower spring rests 34 and 32 being provided with bosses 34a and 32a respectively, a rod 22 having a head cymbal 26 fitted to the top end and whose bottom end penetrates the through hole 39 of the upper spring rest 34 and the draw coil spring 36 to be fixed to the lower spring rest 32 and a pedal 30 connected to the lower spring rest 32 so as to allow said spring rest to move up and down.
