Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of musical instrument auxiliary tools, in particular to a hammer head shock-absorbing sleeve of a drumstick for a percussion instrument. Background Art

[0002] When a drummer uses a drumstick to strike the surface of a percussion instrument, the collision between the drumstick head and the instrument surface will generate a reaction force of the drumstick rebounding against the drummer's hand, causing discomfort to the drummer's hand. Drummers usually wrap a layer of felt around the drumstick head to reduce the vibration during the striking process and the different sound effects produced when the drumstick is struck with the drumstick wrapped with felt. The felt is tightly wrapped around the surface of the hammer head, and the material of the hammer head may be selected from a variety of different materials. Therefore, the timbre of the hammer head wrapped with felt often deviates from that of the hammer head with an exposed surface. It is common to manually fix the hammer head with a felt with a pull line sewn on the edge. Fixed wrapping, a piece of felt is manually gathered upward along the shape of the hammer head, and the hammer head is protected inside the felt by continuously tightening the wire. In the process of continuously tightening the wire, the surface of the felt material will extend to a certain extent and become tight, and the felt is repeatedly wrapped on the surface of the hammer head layer by layer. The felt wrapped on the hammer head is in a tight state, so there is still a more obvious vibration in the process of striking the hammer head. The shock absorption effect is poor and the tight felt on the surface will cause the drumstick to hit the surface of the instrument. The range is narrow, which is not conducive to the performer's performance of different types of different repertoires, and the overall timbre effect is poor. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that, in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, a hammer head shock-absorbing sleeve for a drumstick for percussion instruments is provided.

[0004] To achieve its purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A hammer head shock-absorbing sleeve for a drumstick for percussion instruments comprises a shock-absorbing sleeve, wherein the shock-absorbing sleeve is installed on the hammer head of the drumstick, the shock-absorbing sleeve comprises an inner layer and an outer layer, the inner layer covers the hammer head, when the outer layer is not installed, there is no squeezing force between the inner layer and the hammer head, the outer layer is wrapped around the outside of the inner layer, both the outer layer and the inner layer are made of flexible materials, the outer layer is wrapped around the outer surface of the inner layer, the outer layer is circular in shape, and a pull line is provided at the edge of the outer layer.

[0006] Preferably, the number of the outer layers is a natural number greater than or equal to 1.

[0007] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0008] The inner layer is not tightly wrapped around the surface of the hammer head, nor is it tightly fitted to the outside of the hammer head due to the traction of the pulling wire like the outer layer, and there is a certain gap in between. Compared with the traditional shock-absorbing sleeve that is tightly wrapped around the hammer head layer by layer, the shock-absorbing sleeve of the inner layer is only subjected to the extrusion force of the shock-absorbing sleeve of the outer layer when the pulling wire is tightened, and the inner layer itself has a certain gap space. The gap space of the inner layer increases the overall shock-absorbing ability of the shock-absorbing sleeve and buffers the reaction force on the drummer's hand generated after the drumstick hits the surface of the percussion instrument; the surface of the shock-absorbing sleeve in the traditional technology is tighter as a whole than the shock-absorbing sleeve of the present device, the timbre produced by the drumstick hitting the percussion instrument is duller, and the sound range effect of the knocking is relatively narrow. The shock-absorbing sleeve of the present device has a certain shock-absorbing effect, the surface of the shock-absorbing sleeve is more fluffy, the timbre produced by the drumstick hitting the percussion instrument is softer, and the overall sound effect during knocking is broadened. When the drumstick hits the surface of the instrument, the sound of the instrument is thicker and softer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments; in the following description, specific details such as specific configurations and components are provided only to help fully understand the embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. In addition, for the sake of clarity and brevity, the description of known functions and structures is omitted.

[0026] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof may be combined with each other.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 11 The present invention shows a hammer head shock-absorbing sleeve for a drumstick for a percussion instrument provided by the present embodiment, comprising an inner layer 2 and an outer layer 3, both of which are flexible materials. Common materials for the shock-absorbing sleeve of the hammer head 11 are felt, cloth, leather, etc. The shock-absorbing sleeve is wrapped around the surface of the hammer head 11 of the drumstick 1 (taking the drumstick 1 with a spherical hammer head 11 as an example), the inner layer 2 is wrapped around the outer surface of the hammer head 11, and the outer layer 3 is wrapped around the outer surface of the inner layer 2 of the hammer head 11 wrapped with the inner layer 2. The number of outer layers 3 is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, and the number of outer layers 3 can be one layer, two layers, three layers, etc., and the number of outer layers 3 can be selected according to usage requirements. The flexible material mentioned in this article takes felt as an example, and the shape of the inner layer 2 is not specific, and can be a round piece of felt, such as Figure 1 As shown, or according to the shape of the hammer head 11, a three-dimensional cylindrical or spherical felt cover is specially cut and made (the shape of the inner layer 2 can be selected according to the shape of the hammer head 11 and appropriately cut and sewn, etc.), and the selection of the inner layer 2 as a whole has a high selection flexibility, such as Figure 3The drumstick 1 shown is a spherical hammer head 11, the outer layer 3 is circular in shape, and the edge of the outer layer 3 is provided with a staggered pulling wire 4, the circular outer layer 3 can facilitate the pulling wire 4 to tighten and wrap the hammer head 11, and the overall surface of the wrapped hammer head 11 is more uniform and beautiful. The installation process of the device is to cover the inner layer 2 on the outer surface of the hammer head 11, and the inner layer 2 can be directly covered and wrapped on the surface of the hammer head 11 by hand or the inner layer 2 can be glued to the outer surface of the hammer head 11 with an adhesive containing a certain viscosity to complete the installation of the inner layer 2. The bonding can avoid the shaking of the inner layer 2 after the inner layer 2 is installed to a certain extent, and the bonding can ensure the stability of the inner layer 2 when it is installed. When the outer layer 3 is not installed, there is no squeezing force between the inner layer 2 and the hammer head 11, and the inner layer 2 The outer layer 3 is installed after the inner layer 2 covers the outer surface of the hammer head 11. The outer layer 3 is installed in accordance with the common installation method of the shock-absorbing sleeve of the hammer head 11 of the drumstick 1. The circular outer layer 3 is placed on the palm of the hand or in the gap formed by the thumb and index finger and the base of the hand. The outer surface of the inner layer 2 of the drumstick 1 after the hammer head 11 is wrapped with the inner layer 2 is fitted with the surface of the outer layer 3 close to the inner layer 2, and the circular outer layer 3 is gathered as a whole along the direction of the hammer head 11 wrapped with the inner layer 2 toward the principle hammer head 11 of the drumstick 1, the pull wire 4 is tightened, and the outer layer 3 is fixed on the surface of the inner layer 2. In the process of continuous tightening of the pull wire 4, the surface of the outer layer 3 will gradually become tight and tighten. After being stretched to a certain extent, when the installation of the outer layer 3 is completed, there is still a certain gap between the inner layers 2, and it is not tightly fitted to the outside of the hammer head due to the traction of the pull wire 4 like the outer layer 3. Compared with the traditional shock-absorbing sleeve that is tightly wrapped around the hammer head 11 layer by layer, the shock-absorbing sleeve of the inner layer 2 is only subjected to the extrusion force of the shock-absorbing sleeve of the outer layer 3 when the pull wire 4 is tightened, and the inner layer 2 is not in a tightened state. Compared with directly wrapping the outer layer 3 on the surface of the hammer head 11, there is a certain gap space between the inner layers 2. The gap space of the inner layer 2 increases the overall shock-absorbing ability of the shock-absorbing sleeve, and buffers the reaction force on the drummer's hand generated by the drumstick 1 hitting the surface of the percussion instrument. Compared with the traditional shock-absorbing sleeve (felt wrapping structure), the outer layers 3 are cumulatively tightened layer by layer. Wrapped on the hammer head 11, the overall thickness accumulation requires the outer layer 3 to be accumulated layer by layer, and the more layers of the shock-absorbing sleeve, the more difficult it is to install the outermost layer 3 of the shock-absorbing sleeve (the pull wire 4 is tightened during the tightening process, and a greater force is required to complete the tightening). The thickness of the inner layer 2 of the device is not limited, and the required thickness of the overall shock-absorbing sleeve of the hammer head 11 can be achieved by controlling the thickness of the inner layer 2 and the number of outer layers 3. The thickness of the overall shock-absorbing sleeve after installation is more controllable, and the limitations of the use of the shock-absorbing sleeve are greatly reduced. The squeezing of the shock-absorbing sleeve on the hammer head 11 is reduced as a whole. The surface of the shock-absorbing sleeve in the traditional technology is tighter than that of the shock-absorbing sleeve of the device as a whole. The timbre produced by the drumstick 1 hitting the percussion instrument is sharper, and the sound range effect produced by the hitting is relatively narrow.The shock-absorbing sleeve of the device has a certain shock-absorbing effect. The surface of the shock-absorbing sleeve is more fluffy, and the timbre produced by the drumstick 1 hitting the percussion instrument is softer, which broadens the overall sound effect when hitting and avoids the dullness of the timbre. At the same time, as can be seen from the attached figure, according to the frequency response curve, acoustic analysis diagram and the waveform diagram obtained by the vibration oscilloscope detection, it can be concluded from the intuitive data that the improvement of the device has been effectively improved in both the timbre effect and the shock absorption compared with the prior art.
