Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present utility model is related to a pedal-operated drum striking device, and particularly to a drumstick whose striking position can be adjusted. Background Art

[0002] As disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. US6,822,149B1 and US9,236,038B1, pedal-operated striking devices are respectively disclosed for striking an instrument such as a bass drum. Their structures mainly include a drumstick, a pedal, a bracket, and a restoring element. The drumstick is installed on a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is pivotally connected to the bracket. When the pedal is stepped on, the rotating shaft is driven to rotate, allowing the drumstick to rotate with the bracket as a fulcrum, moving the drumstick from the initial position to the striking position, and the instrument is placed at the striking position, enabling the drumstick to strike the instrument and produce sound. The restoring element is arranged between the bracket and the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft rotates, the restoring element can drive the rotating shaft back to the angle before rotation, that is, drive the drumstick back from the striking position to the initial position.

[0003] The drumstick is used to strike the drum to produce a thumping sound, which determines the rhythm of the music and is a very important part of the orchestra. The quality and difference of the sound produced by the drumstick hitting the drum depend on the characteristics of the drum itself, the hitting position, the force, and so on.

[0004] The conventional drumstick has a fixed type with a fixed striking position. To meet the striking position requirements of drums of different sizes, multiple drumsticks of different sizes and specifications need to be prepared for replacement, which causes trouble in use.

[0005] In addition, pedal-operated striking devices of different specifications and sizes will have different pedals and brackets, which will also cause changes in the striking position. In actual use, different sizes and specifications of drumsticks also need to be replaced to meet the striking position requirements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] Therefore, the main purpose of the present utility model is to disclose a drumstick whose striking position can be adjusted to change the striking position of the drumstick and meet the needs in use.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides an adjustable drumstick fixed to a rotating seat of a pedal-operated drum striking device, which includes a swinging element, an adjusting seat, a hammer body, and a first locking element. The swinging element is in the shape of a long rod and has a first end and a second end at opposite ends. The first end is fixed to the rotating seat, and the second end has a threaded rod. The adjusting seat has a threaded through hole and a first pressing screw hole. The threaded through hole allows the threaded rod to pass through helically, and the first pressing screw hole penetrates horizontally into the threaded through hole. The hammer body is fixed to the adjusting seat and exposes the threaded through hole and the first pressing screw hole. The first locking element can be screwed into the first pressing screw hole and penetrate into the threaded through hole.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the threaded rod has a pressing plane for the first locking element to press against.

[0009] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the threaded rod further screws a fixing nut that presses the adjusting seat.

[0010] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a weight element is sleeved on the swinging element adjacent to the threaded rod. The weight element has a sleeve hole for the swinging element to pass through and a second pressing screw hole horizontally penetrating into the sleeve hole. The second pressing screw hole is for a second locking element to be screwed into and penetrate into the sleeve hole, so that the weight element is fixed on the swinging element.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the adjusting seat is cylindrical. The hammer body has two lugs that sandwich the adjusting seat from both sides, and two locking elements respectively pass through the two lugs and lock the adjusting seat.

[0012] Accordingly, the adjusting seat of the present utility model can be screwed into the threaded rod and rotated to adjust the position of the hammer body on the swinging element. When adjusted to the desired position, the first locking element can be screwed into the first pressing screw hole to press and fix the adjusting seat on the threaded rod. When used for the pedal type drum beater of different specifications or drums of different sizes, the hammer body can be adjusted to the desired striking position to meet the usage requirements.

[0015] Figure 3 , is the installation and usage schematic diagram of the present utility model;

[0016] Figure 4 , is the schematic diagram of adjusting the position of the drumstick of the present utility model. Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

[0017] Regarding the technical content, features and effects of the present utility model, they will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown. The present utility model is an adjustable drumstick fixed on a rotating seat 11 of a pedal type drum beater 10, and it includes a swinging element 20, an adjusting seat 30, a hammer body 40 and a first locking element 50.

[0019] The swing element 20 is in the shape of a long rod and has a first end 21 and a second end 22 located at opposite ends. The first end 21 is fixed to the rotating seat 11, and the second end 22 has a threaded rod 23. The adjusting seat 30 has a threaded through hole 31 and a first tightening screw hole 32. The threaded through hole 31 allows the threaded rod 23 to pass through helically, and the first tightening screw hole 32 penetrates laterally into the threaded through hole 31.

[0020] The hammer body 40 is covered and fixed on the adjusting seat 30, and the threaded through hole 31 and the first tightening screw hole 32 are exposed. In one embodiment, the adjusting seat 30 is cylindrical. The hammer body 40 has two lugs 41. The two lugs 41 clamp the adjusting seat 30 from both sides, and two locking elements 60 are respectively passed through the two lugs 41 to lock the adjusting seat 30.

[0021] The first locking element 50 can be screwed into the first tightening screw hole 32 and penetrate into the threaded through hole 31. In one embodiment, the threaded rod 23 has a pressing plane 231 for the first locking element 50 to press against, which can ensure that the threaded rod 23 does not rotate when pressed by the first locking element 50. Preferably, a fixing nut 70 is further screwed onto the threaded rod 23, and the fixing nut 70 presses the adjusting seat 30 to strengthen the fixation of the adjusting seat 30.

[0022] In addition, a counterweight element 80 is sleeved on the swing element 20 adjacent to the threaded rod 23. The counterweight element 80 has a sleeve hole 81 and a second tightening screw hole 82. The sleeve hole 81 allows the swing element 20 to pass through, and the second tightening screw hole 82 penetrates laterally into the sleeve hole 81. The second tightening screw hole 82 allows a second locking element 90 to be screwed in and penetrate into the sleeve hole 81 to fix the counterweight element 80 on the swing element 20.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, when the adjusting seat 30 is screwed onto the threaded rod 23 and rotated, the position of the hammer body 40 on the swing element 20 can be adjusted. When adjusted to the desired position (as Figure 4 shown), the first locking element 50 can be screwed into the first tightening screw hole 32 to press and fix the adjusting seat 30, thereby fixing the adjusting seat 30 on the threaded rod 23, so as to meet the usage requirements in striking.

[0024] In summary, the adjusting seat of the present utility model can rotate on the threaded rod and be adjusted to the desired position. After being tightly fixed by the first locking element, it can be used for striking. When used on the pedal type drum beater with different specifications or different sized drums, the hammer body can be adjusted to the desired striking position to meet the usage requirements.
