Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a drum suspension device, in particular to a suspension device which can adjust the shaking degree of the drum. Background Art
[0002] Drums are percussion instruments. Players can create vibrations by striking the drum surface, which can then resonate within the drum body. In addition, when a user strikes the drum, the drum body can shake. Normal drums produce sustain due to resonance when struck, and the shaking of the drum body can extend the sustain. However, depending on the style of music or the habits of the performer, sometimes the performer would prefer not to produce sustain when playing the drum, or not to shake the drum body. At this point, the performer can use a rubber to hold the drum belly against the drum body, so that the drum body no longer shakes, and the effect of eliminating the sustain is achieved.
[0003] In existing products, the rubber can only be in two states: against the drum belly and away from the drum belly. When the rubber is against the drum belly, it will completely suppress the shaking of the drum body and eliminate the sustain. When the rubber is away from the drum belly, the drum body will shake normally and produce complete sustain. However, different musical styles require different degrees of sustain, and directly pressing the rubber against the drum belly cannot adjust the degree of shaking of the drum body, resulting in limited musical styles that the performer can perform. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model provides a drum suspension device, which can be used to fix a drum on a drum frame and can be in contact with or separated from the drum.
[0005] The drum suspension device proposed in the utility model has:
[0006] A bracket, which is used to be fixed on the side of the drum; the bracket has a rotating shaft;
[0007] A buffer is arranged on the bracket, and the rotating shaft passes through the buffer; the buffer can rotate with the rotating shaft as the axis; the buffer has multiple side surfaces, and the distances from each side surface to the rotating shaft are different. The buffer can selectively face the drum side surface with the side surface.
[0008] The utility model further provides a drum set, which has:
[0009] One drum;
[0010] As the drum suspension device mentioned above, the drum suspension device is arranged on the drum.
[0011] The advantages of the present utility model are that the distances from each side surface of the buffer member to the rotating shaft are different. Therefore, when each side surface faces the drum side surface respectively, the forces exerted by the buffer member against the drum side surface are different. If the buffer member does not contact the drum side surface, the drum can shake normally and produce a complete sustain. And when the force exerted by the buffer member against the drum side surface is greater, the shaking degree of the drum is smaller, thereby weakening the sustain, and even achieving the effect of eliminating the sustain. Thus, the user can rotate the buffer member around the rotating shaft as the axis to control the distance from the buffer member to the drum side surface, and further adjust the shaking degree of the drum body to produce different sustain degrees for different music styles.
[0012] As for the drum suspension device proposed above, wherein the side surface of the buffer member has:
[0013] A first side surface, when the first side surface faces the drum side surface, the first side surface remains in contact with the drum side surface;
[0014] A second side surface, which is adjacent to the first side surface; the distance between the second side surface and the rotating shaft is less than the distance between the first side surface and the rotating shaft;
[0015] A third side surface, which is opposite to the first side surface; the distance between the third side surface and the rotating shaft is less than the distance between the second side surface and the rotating shaft.
[0016] As for the drum suspension device proposed above, wherein the upper edge of the first side surface is farther from the drum side surface than the lower edge of the first side surface, whereby the first side surface and the drum side surface are not parallel to each other.
[0017] As for the drum suspension device proposed above, wherein the included angle between the first side surface and the drum side surface is 3 degrees to 5 degrees.
[0018] As for the drum suspension device proposed above, wherein:
[0019] The side surface has:
[0020] A fourth side surface, which is opposite to the second side surface;
[0021] The buffer member has:
[0022] A groove, the opening of the groove extends from the first side surface through the fourth side surface and to the third side surface;
[0023] The bracket has:
[0024] An extension member, which extends into the groove, and the rotating shaft is arranged on the extension member and penetrates through the two side walls of the groove.
[0025] As for the drum suspension device proposed above, wherein the bracket has a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, there is an included angle between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and the buffer member protrudes from the second connecting portion.
[0026] As mentioned above, the proposed drum suspension device, wherein the bracket has a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, there is an included angle between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and the extension member protrudes from the second connecting portion.
[0027] As mentioned above, the proposed drum suspension device, wherein the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are in an L shape, the first connecting portion is parallel to the drum surface, and the second connecting portion is parallel to the drum side surface.
[0028] As mentioned above, the proposed drum suspension device has a locking member disposed on a surface of the bracket away from the buffer member. Description of the Drawings

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 . The present invention proposes a drum suspension device that can be used to fix a drum A on a drum rack B. The drum suspension device has a bracket 10, a buffer member 20, and a locking member 30.
[0039] The bracket 10 is used to be fixedly arranged on the drum side surface C of the drum A. In this embodiment, the bracket 10 has an extension piece 11, a rotating shaft 12, a first connecting part 13 and a second connecting part 14. The first connecting part 13 can be used to connect with the drum A, and the second connecting part 14 can be used to connect with the drum stand B. Specifically, a plurality of screws A1 are arranged around the drum A, and the screws A1 are used to adjust the tightness of the drum skin. Two of the screws A1 pass through the first connecting part 13 of the bracket 10 to connect the bracket 10 with the drum A. There is an included angle between the first connecting part 13 and the second connecting part 14. In this embodiment, the included angle is 90 degrees so that the bracket 10 presents an L shape. The first connecting part 13 is parallel to the drum surface of the drum A, and the second connecting part 14 is parallel to the drum side surface C. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting part and the second connecting part are formed by bending a sheet body, but it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the included angle is not limited to 90 degrees, and the included angle can be between 0 degrees and 180 degrees. The shape of the bracket 10 is not limited to the L shape and can also be an arc shape or other shapes.
[0040] The extension piece 11 protrudes from the second connecting part 14 and extends between the first connecting part 13 and the second connecting part 14. In other words, the extension piece 11 extends towards the drum side surface C. The rotating shaft 12 is arranged at one end of the extension piece 11 close to the drum side surface C, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 12 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the extension piece 11. In this embodiment, the extension piece 11 is fixedly arranged on the second connecting part 14 by a screw, but it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the extension piece 11 can be fixed on the second connecting part 14 by riveting, welding or other means.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 . The buffer 20 is arranged on the extension piece 11 of the bracket 10, and the rotating shaft 12 passes through the buffer 20. The buffer 20 can rotate around the rotating shaft 12. The buffer 20 has a plurality of side surfaces 21 and a groove 22. In this embodiment, the buffer 20 has a total of four side surfaces 21. In other words, the side surfaces 21 can include a first side surface 211, a second side surface 212, a third side surface 213 and a fourth side surface 214. When the buffer 20 rotates around the rotating shaft 12, the first side surface 211, the second side surface 212 or the third side surface 213 can be made to face away from the second connecting part 14 according to requirements, that is, towards the drum side surface C of the drum A.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first side surface 211 and the third side surface 213 face each other, the second side surface 212 and the fourth side surface 214 face each other, and the distances from each side surface 21 to the rotating shaft 12 are different. Among them, the distance between the first side surface 211 and the rotating shaft 12 is the farthest. Thus, when the first side surface 211 faces away from the second connecting portion 14 and faces the drum side surface C, the first side surface 211 remains in abutment against the drum side surface C. The distance between the second side surface 212 and the rotating shaft 12 is less than the distance between the first side surface 211 and the rotating shaft 12. Thus, when the second side surface 212 faces away from the second connecting portion 14 and faces the drum side surface C, the second side surface 212 can be in contact with or separated from the drum side surface C. The distance between the third side surface 213 and the rotating shaft 12 is less than the distance between the second side surface 212 and the rotating shaft 12. Thus, when the third side surface 213 faces away from the second connecting portion 14 and faces the drum side surface C, the third side surface 213 remains separated from the drum side surface C.
[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, the first side surface 211 presents an inclined surface, so the first side surface and the third side surface are not parallel to each other. Specifically, when the third side surface 213 faces away from the second connecting portion 14 and faces the drum side surface C, the first side surface 211 faces the second connecting portion 14 of the bracket 10, and the upper edge 2111 of the first side surface 211 is closer to the bracket 10 than the lower edge 2112 of the first side surface 211. Thus, the inclined surface makes the included angle between the first side surface 211 and the second connecting portion 14 of the bracket 10 be 3 degrees to 5 degrees. When the first side surface 211 faces the drum side surface C, the inclined surface can make the first side surface 211 remain in contact with and abut against the drum side surface C.
[0044] In other embodiments, the buffer member 20 may have other numbers of side surfaces 21, and the distances from each side surface 21 to the rotating shaft 12 can be set as required. Thus, when each side surface 21 faces the drum side surface C respectively, the distances between each side surface 21 and the drum side surface C or the forces abutting against the drum side surface C are different.
[0045] In this embodiment, the opening of the groove 22 extends from the first side surface 211 through the fourth side surface 214 and to the third side surface 213. In other words, the groove 22 does not pass through the second side surface 212. The extension member 11 of the bracket 10 extends into the groove 22, and the rotating shaft 12 penetrates through the two side walls of the groove 22. Thus, when the buffer member 20 rotates about the rotating shaft 12 as the axis, the groove 22 enables the buffer member 20 not to be blocked by the extension member 11. In other embodiments, the buffer member 20 may not have the groove 22. Specifically, the extension member 11 of the bracket 10 is disposed outside the buffer member 20. Thus, when the buffer member 20 rotates about the rotating shaft 12 as the axis, the buffer member 20 is not blocked by the extension member 11.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9。The locking member 30 is disposed on a side of the second connecting portion 14 of the bracket 10 away from the drum side surface C, and is used to fix the drum A to the drum rack B. In this embodiment, the locking member 30 has a first portion 31, a second portion 32 and a gap 33. The first portion 31 is screwed to the bracket 10, and the second portion can approach or move away from the first portion 31. The gap 33 is formed between the first portion 31 and the second portion 32. The drum rack B can pass through between the first portion 31 and the second portion 32 of the locking member 30, that is, the drum rack B passes through the gap 33. Specifically, when the second portion 32 approaches the first portion 31, the drum rack B is clamped between the first portion 31 and the second portion 32, thereby fixing the drum A to the drum rack B. When the second portion 32 moves away from the first portion 31, the drum rack B disengages from between the first portion 31 and the second portion 32, thereby enabling the drum A to be separated from the drum rack B. In other embodiments, the locking member 30 can be integrally formed with the bracket 10, but is not limited thereto.
[0047] When the buffer member 20 of the drum suspension device of the present utility model is separated from the drum side surface C of the drum A, the drum A can normally shake when being struck, and the sustain generated by the drum A can be prolonged. When the buffer member 20 of the drum suspension device of the present utility model contacts the drum side surface C of the drum A, the shaking of the drum A is suppressed, and the effect of suppressing or eliminating the sustain can be achieved. In this embodiment, the first side surface 211, the second side surface 212 and the third side surface 213 can respectively face the drum side surface C of the drum A (as Figures 4 to 6 shown), and the distances between the three side surfaces 21 and the drum side surface C or the forces pushing against the drum side surface C are different from each other, thereby achieving three stages of sustain control levels.
[0048] When the drum suspension device of the present utility model is in the first stage of sustain control, the first side surface 211 faces the drum side surface C of the drum A and remains in contact with the drum side surface C (as Figure 4 shown). And when the drum A is disposed on the drum rack B (as Figure 9 shown), the pushing force of the first side surface 211 on the drum side surface C prevents the drum A from tilting due to gravity. Thus, due to the force of the first side surface 211 against the drum side surface C, the buffer member 20 can fix the drum A and prevent the drum A from shaking when being struck, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating the sustain. When the drum suspension device of the present utility model is in the second stage of sustain control, the second side surface 212 faces the drum side surface C of the drum A and can be separated from or in contact with the drum side surface C (as Figure 5 shown). Specifically, when the drum A is placed on a flat surface (as Figure 7 shown), the second side surface 212 remains separated from the drum side surface C, and the drum A can normally shake. And when the drum A is disposed on the drum rack B (as Figure 8As shown, the drum A inclines due to gravity, causing the side surface C of the drum to abut against the second side surface 212. Thereby, the buffer member 20 can suppress the shaking generated when the drum A is struck, so as to achieve the effect of weakening the sustain. When the drum suspension device of the present utility model is in the sustain control of the third stage, the third side surface 213 faces the side surface C of the drum A and remains separated from the side surface C of the drum A (as Figure 6 shown). Thereby, the drum A can shake normally when struck, so as to achieve the effect of normally generating sustain.
[0049] The advantage of the present utility model is that the distances from the respective side surfaces 21 of the buffer member 20 to the rotating shaft 12 are different. Therefore, when the respective side surfaces 21 face the side surface C of the drum respectively, the forces with which the buffer member 20 abuts against the side surface C of the drum are different. If the buffer member 20 does not contact the side surface C of the drum, the drum A can shake normally and generate a complete sustain. And when the force with which the buffer member 20 abuts against the side surface C of the drum is greater, the shaking degree of the drum A is smaller, thereby weakening the sustain and even achieving the effect of eliminating the sustain. Thereby, the user can rotate the buffer member 20 around the rotating shaft 12 as the axis to control the distance from the buffer member 20 to the side surface C of the drum, and further adjust the shaking degree of the drum body A, so as to generate different sustain degrees for different music styles.
[0050] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art, within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model, can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to obtain equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes. However, as long as it does not depart from the technical solution of the present utility model, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
