[0010] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The electronic keyboard instrument 10 shown in Figures 1 and 2 includes an instrument case 14 in which a circuit board, speaker, etc. are housed. The instrument case 14 is equipped with a full-size (88-key) keyboard 13 having a plurality of white keys 11 and black keys 12. The instrument case 14 (electronic keyboard instrument 10) is supported by legs 20. The legs 20 have a central support member 22 that is long in the left-right direction and positioned on the lower surface of the instrument case 14, and four legs 21 connected to the central support member 22. In the following description, the front side of the keyboard 13 will be referred to as the front side, the opposite side as the rear side, the left side facing the keyboard 13 as the left, the right side as the right, the keyboard side as the top, and the legs 20 side as the bottom.

[0011] The central support member 22 of the leg portion 20 is connected to connecting rods 51 (connecting members) on both the left and right sides. Each connecting rod 51 is provided so as to extend downward, with its upper end connected to the rear surface of the central support member 22. The left and right connecting rods 51 are connected to the left and right sides of the pedal device 50, respectively. In other words, the pedal device 50 includes connecting rods 51 as connecting members that connect to the leg portion 20 (legs 21) that supports the electronic keyboard instrument 10 to which it is mounted. Note that the connection between the leg portion 20 and the connecting rods 51 may be indirectly connected via other members such as the central support member 22, as in this embodiment, or it may be set to be directly connected.

[0012] The pedal device 50 is provided with a pedal case 53 that covers the circuit board 161, sensor unit 160, bearing section 153, etc. (described later). The pedal case 53 is provided in the shape of a roughly elongated rectangular box that is long in the left-right direction, with front and rear surfaces, a top surface and left and right sides, and an opening on the bottom side. The pedal case 53 is provided with three openings 53a.

[0013] Furthermore, the pedal device 50 provided in the electronic keyboard instrument 10 is equipped with three pedals 52 arranged on the left, right, and center (right pedal 52a, left pedal 52b, and center pedal 52c). Each pedal 52 is rotatably mounted so as to protrude forward (outward) through corresponding openings 53a in the pedal case 53. Below each pedal 52, a pedal leg 200 is positioned.

[0014] As shown in Figure 3 (see also Figures 4 and 5), the pedal leg portion 200 includes a pedal corresponding portion 102 and an installation member 201. Below the pedal device 50, a lower base member 100 is provided. The lower base member 100 has a flat lower base member body portion 101 that is long in the left-right direction. Each pedal corresponding portion 102 is provided to extend forward from the lower base member body portion 101 in accordance with each pedal 52. In other words, the pedal leg portion 200 protrudes outward from the pedal case 53 on the side from which each pedal 52 protrudes.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting member 201 of the pedal leg 200 is a member that is mounted on or close to the mounting surface and is provided opposite to it. The pedal corresponding part 102 corresponding to the right pedal 52a and the left pedal 52b is provided with an adjustable mounting member 103, which is an adjustable mounting member 201. The adjustment member 103 is provided to be adjustable so that it can move vertically by a screw structure so that it can contact the mounting surface. Figure 6 shows the state in which the adjustment member 103 corresponding to the right pedal 52a has been moved downward. On the other hand, the pedal corresponding part 102 corresponding to the middle pedal 52c is provided with a pad 104 which is an mounting member 201 fixed to the pedal corresponding part 102. In this way, the mounting member 201 includes the adjustment member 103, and the adjustment member 103 is provided corresponding to the outer pedals 52 (right pedal 52a and left pedal 52b) of the three pedals 52.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 3, each pedal leg portion 200 (the pedal corresponding portion 102 and the installation member 201 (adjustment member 103, pad 104) located outside the pedal case 53) is disposed within the projection area S (the shaded portion shown in FIG. 3) of the exposed portion of each pedal 52. Here, the exposed portion of the pedal 52 is the portion of the pedal 52 where the pedal 52 protrudes outward from the opening 53a of the pedal case 53 (the portion of dimension S1 from the outer surface of the pedal case 53 to the tip of the pedal 52 shown in FIG. 7).

[0017] Also, as shown in FIG. 4, a cushion member 105 is provided on the pedal corresponding portion 102 of each pedal leg portion 200 so as to face the lower surface of each pedal 52. The cushion member 105 can be made of, for example, a felt material. The cushion member 105 serves as a lower limit regulating member for regulating the lower limit of the pedal 52. That is, the cushion member 105 abuts against the lower surface of the pedal 52 to regulate the lower limit position of the pedal 52. The cushion member 105 is disposed on the axis (for example, on the axis CL1 shown in FIG. 7) of the installation member 201 (adjustment member 103, pad 104).

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, an upper sheet metal member 120 is provided on the upper surface of the lower base member body portion 101 of the lower base member 100. As shown in FIG. 7, the upper sheet metal member 120 has a lower plate portion 121 disposed in a flat plate shape on the lower base member body portion 101, a flat plate-shaped upper plate portion 123, and a connecting plate 122 that connects the lower plate portion 121 and the upper plate portion 123 so as to stand upright in the vertical direction.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 4, the pedal device 50 is provided with a front sheet metal member 130 whose upper and lower ends are bent backward so as to stand upright from the upper surface of the lower plate portion 121 of the upper sheet metal member 120. The front sheet metal member 130 has its lower plate portion fastened and fixed together with the lower plate portion 121, the lower base member main body portion 101, and the plate on the lower surface side of a lower sheet metal member 110 to be described later by a screw member 118c (see FIG. 3). The upper plate portion of the front sheet metal member 130 is fixed to the lower surface of the upper plate portion of the pedal case 53 (see FIG. 7). The front sheet metal member 130 is provided with openings 131 that are open corresponding to each pedal 52 and have a shape with the lower side open. Ribs 132 are provided on the peripheral edges of the respective openings 131. In FIG. 4, only the opening 131 (rib 132) corresponding to the right pedal 52a is shown.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a regulating member 140 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the base end portion side of each pedal 52 by a screw member (not shown). The regulating member 140 has a first regulating portion 141 and a second regulating portion 142. The first regulating portion 141 is provided with an inclined surface that inclines toward the base end portion side of the pedal 52 so as to cover the upper surface of the pedal 52. The second regulating portion 142 is connected to the first regulating portion 141 above and is provided with an inclined surface that inclines toward the base end portion side. The regulating member 140 regulates the entry of fingers or the like into the gap between each pedal 52 and each opening 53a.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 5, a cushion member 143 is provided on the upper surface of the regulating member 140 behind the inclined surface of the second regulating portion 142. The cushion member 143 can be made of, for example, a felt material. The cushion member 143 abuts on the upper portion of the opening 131 (rib 132) of the front sheet metal member 130 and regulates the upper limit position of the pedal 52. Further, the regulating member 140 is provided with an arm portion 144 that protrudes toward the sensor unit 160 to be described later and engages with the cam member 164 of the sensor unit 160.

[0022] An upper base member 150 is provided above the lower base member 100 via an upper sheet metal member 120. The upper base member 150 is provided with spring retaining parts 151, which are located above the base ends of each pedal corresponding part 102 of the lower base member 100. The spring retaining part 151 is cylindrical and has a coil spring 54 arranged inside. As shown in Figure 7, a lower spring support shaft 151a is provided on the bottom surface of the spring retaining part 151, supporting the lower end of the coil spring 54. The upper end of the coil spring 54 is supported by an upper spring support shaft 154a of a spring receiving member 154 provided on the lower surface of the pedal 52. The pedal 52 is biased upward by the coil spring 54.

[0023] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the base ends of each spring retaining portion 151 of the upper base member 150 are connected to the upper base member main body portion 152. The upper base member main body portion 152 is provided in the shape of a long plate in the left-right direction. On the upper surface of the upper base member main body portion 152, there are bearing portions 153 that rotatably support the rotating shafts 55 (also called pivot shafts) provided at the base ends of each pedal 52. The upper surface of the upper base member main body portion 152 is also provided as a long recess 152a in the left-right direction. A substrate 161 is provided in the recess 152a. A sensor unit 160 is provided on the upper surface of the substrate 161. The sensor unit 160 can detect the amount of pedal 52 pressed down by the cam member 164 contacting the arm portion 144 of the regulating member 140.

[0024] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, a lower sheet metal member 110, having a roughly L-shaped cross-section (see Figure 7), is provided on the lower surface of the lower base member body portion 101 of the lower base member 100. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the lower sheet metal member 110 has fixing portions 111 that are erected in a roughly L-shape when viewed from above at both the left and right ends. Each fixing portion 111 is fixed to the front side of the ends of the left and right connecting rods 51 by screw members 118a. As shown in Figures 3 and 6, the lower surface of the lower sheet metal member 110 and each connecting rod 51 are fixed by screw members 118b. As shown in Figure 6, the lower ends of each connecting rod 51 are positioned close together so as to abut against the left and right sides of the upper base member 150. In this way, the connecting rods 51, which are connecting members, are fixed to the base member of the pedal device 50, including the lower sheet metal member 110.

[0025] Here, the base member of the pedal device 50 includes a lower base member 100 and a lower sheet metal member 110 which are integrally connected by a screw member 118c, and an upper base member 150 which is fixed to the lower base member 100.

[0026] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 3 and 6, the lower metal member 110 has two pads 113 on the left and right sides that act as cushions when it comes into contact with the mounting surface. The screw member 108a provided on the lower base member body 101, as shown in Figure 3, is part of the screw member that fixes the lower base member body 101 and the pedal case 53 via the lower plate portion 121 of the upper metal member 120. The screw member 108b provided corresponding to the pedal corresponding portion 102 is a screw member that connects and fixes the lower base member 100 and the upper base member 150.

[0027] Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the pedal device 50 is used by bringing the adjustment member 103 into contact with the installation surface FL. Accordingly, when the pedal 52 (right pedal 52a in FIG. 7) is depressed, the force F1 is received by the installation surface FL via the cushion member 105 that contacts the lower surface of the pedal 52 and the adjustment member 103. Also, the distance L1a from the axis CL1 of the adjustment member 103 to the tip of the pedal 52 is smaller than the distance L2 from the axis CL1 of the adjustment member 103 to the axis CL2 of the connecting rod 51 (L1a < L2). That is, since the distance L1 from the position where the pedal 52 is depressed (the position where the force F1 is applied) to the axis CL1 of the adjustment member 103 is set smaller than the distance L1a (L1 < L1a), the distance L1 is smaller than the distance L2 (L1 < L2). Further, since the adjustment member 103 is installed on the installation surface FL on the connecting rod 51, a part of the load (force F2) of the electronic keyboard instrument 10 is applied thereto.

[0028] In the pedal device 50, by setting the distance L1 to be sufficiently shorter than the distance L2, the relationship of equation (1) is set for the moment around the axis CL1 of the adjustment member 103. Distance L1 × Force F1 < Distance L2 × Force F2 ··· (1) Regarding the pedal 52, based on the lever principle, with the position of the force F1 as the effort point, the axis CL1 of the adjustment member 103 as the fulcrum, and the rotation axis 55 as the point of application (the force applied to the rotation axis 55 is F3), equation (2) holds. Distance L1 × Force F1 = Distance L3 × Force F3 ··· (2) From equations (1) and (2), Distance L3 × Force F3 < Distance L2 × Force F2 ··· (3) This results in.

[0029] In other words, the pedal device 50 is designed so that even when the pedal 52 is pressed down, the upward force F3 acting on the rotation axis 55 of the pedal 52 lifts the rear of the electronic keyboard instrument 10 via the connecting rod 51, preventing the rear legs 21 from separating from the mounting surface FL. Although the above description concerns the right pedal 52a, the same applies to the left pedal 52b and the middle pedal 52c. In particular, if the pad 104, which is the mounting member 201 corresponding to the middle pedal 52c, is in contact with the mounting surface FL, then naturally, but even if it is not in contact, if the left and right adjustment members 103 are in contact with the mounting surface FL, the lifting of the rear legs 21 when the middle pedal 52c is pressed down is reduced in the same way as described above.

[0030] Furthermore, the axis CL2 of the connecting rod 51 is positioned between the axis CL3 of the coil spring 54, which acts as a biasing member that biases the pedal 52 upward, and the axis CL4 of the rotating shaft 55. Therefore, the distance in the front-rear direction between the downward force (load) F2 and the upward force F3 and the biasing force of the coil spring 54 is set to be small.

[0031] In the embodiments of the present invention described above, the pedal device 50 includes a pedal case 53 having an opening 53a, a base member (lower base member 100, upper base member 150, etc.) on which the pedal case 53 is provided, a pedal 52 that protrudes outward from the pedal case 53 through the opening 53a and is rotatably provided by a rotation shaft 55 which serves as a pivot shaft and is supported by a bearing portion 153 provided on the upper base member 150 of the base member, and a pedal leg portion 200 that protrudes outward from the pedal case 53 on the side from which the pedal 52 protrudes, including an installation member 201 provided on the lower base member 100 of the base member and provided so as to be able to contact the installation surface FL.

[0032] As a result, the mounting member 201 is positioned near the position where the pedal 52 is pressed (the position shown as F1 in Figure 7), which reduces the lifting of the rear of the leg 21 when the pedal 52 is pressed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the movement of the electronic keyboard instrument 10 during performance.

[0033] Furthermore, in the base member including the lower base member 100 and the upper base member 150, the bearing portion 153 is provided on the upper base member, and the mounting member 201 is provided on the lower base member 100. This allows the mounting member 201 to be provided below the pedal 52, and the base member comprising the mounting member 201 and the bearing portion 153 can be provided integrally and compactly.

[0034] Furthermore, the mounting member 201 (adjustment member 103, pad 104) is positioned within the projection area S of the pedal 52. In addition, the pedal leg 200 is also positioned within the projection area S. As a result, when viewing the pedal device 50 from above, which is the line of sight during performance, the pedal leg 200 and mounting member 201 are not visible and can only be seen by crouching down, thus providing an aesthetically pleasing pedal device 50. Note that the adjustment member 103 of the mounting member 201 has a screw structure for adjustment, so it is particularly preferable that the adjustment member 103 be positioned within the projection area S. In other words, if the mounting member 201 is positioned within the projection area S, the pedal leg 200 can be positioned outside the projection area S, but from an aesthetic standpoint, it is preferable that the pedal leg 200 is also positioned within the projection area S.

[0035] Furthermore, the base members (lower base member 100 and lower sheet metal member 110) have connecting rods 51 fixed to them, which are connecting members that connect to the legs 20 (legs 21) that support the electronic keyboard instrument 10 to which the pedal device 50 is mounted. The distance L1a from the axis CL1 of the mounting member 201 to the tip of the pedal 52 is smaller than the distance L2 from the axis CL1 of the mounting member 201 (adjustment member 103, pad 104) to the axis CL2 of the connecting rod 51.

[0036] This allows the position where the pedal 52 is pressed (the position of force F1 in Figure 7) to be placed near the mounting member 201 in the front-rear direction. Furthermore, for the right pedal 52a and the left pedal 52b, the adjustment member 103 can be placed near the position directly below where the pedal 52 is pressed. This allows the pressing force F1 to be directly received by the mounting member 201.

[0037] Furthermore, the pedal device 50 has a coil spring 54, which is a biasing member that biases the pedal 52 upward, and the axis CL2 of the connecting rod 51 is positioned between the axis CL3 of the coil spring 54 and the axis CL4 of the rotating shaft 55. As a result, in the front-rear direction, the axis CL2 of the connecting rod 51, which is subjected to a force F2 that is part of the load of the electronic keyboard instrument 10, can be positioned close to the coil spring 54 and the rotating shaft 55, so that the biasing force of the coil spring 54 and the force F3 acting on the rotating shaft 55 can be canceled out by force F2 without generating a moment force.

[0038] Furthermore, the pedal leg 200 is provided with a cushion member 105 as a lower limit restricting member that restricts the lower limit of the pedal 52, on the axis CL1 of the mounting member 201 (adjustment member 103, pad 104) that faces the lower surface of the pedal 52. This allows the pedal leg 200 (mounting member 201) to receive the force F1 applied to the pedal 52 without generating any moment forces or other such forces.

[0039] Furthermore, the adjustment member 103 of the mounting member 201 is provided to be movable in the vertical direction by a screw structure. This allows the pedal device 50 to be securely installed on the mounting surface FL with a simple configuration.

[0040] Furthermore, it is equipped with three pedals 52 (right pedal 52a, left pedal 52b, and middle pedal 52c), and the adjustment members 103 are provided corresponding to the outer pedals 52, namely the right pedal 52a and the left pedal 52b. This allows the pedal device 50 to be installed on the mounting surface FL in a balanced manner between the left and right sides.

[0041] Furthermore, the electronic keyboard instrument 10 has a pedal device 50. This reduces the likelihood of the electronic keyboard instrument 10, to which the pedal device 50 is attached, moving during performance even when the pedal 52 of the pedal device 50 is pressed. It also improves the appearance of the electronic keyboard instrument 10 by concealing the pedal legs 200 (mounting members 201) behind the pedal 52. In this embodiment, the pedal device 50 is provided on the electronic keyboard instrument 10, but it can also be provided on other instruments or electronic instruments.
