[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-331972 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, because the output cable extends from the back surface of the frame, for example, if the electronic cymbals are arranged in multiple levels, the output cable extending from the upper electronic cymbals can interfere with the lower electronic cymbals, resulting in erroneous detection of strikes and interfering with performance. Also, for example, if the electronic cymbals are arranged in a suspended state, the output cable ends up crawling in the air, which looks unsightly and interferes with performance.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide an electronic cymbal that can hold the output cable and avoid problems during performance, even when the electronic cymbal bodies are arranged in multiple tiers vertically or when the electronic cymbal bodies are arranged in a suspended state. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The invention of claim 1 is an electronic cymbal comprising: a pad section having a striking surface that can be struck by a player; and a frame section that supports the back side of the pad section; openings formed in the center of the pad section and the frame section of the electronic cymbal body, respectively, through which a support stand can be inserted; a detection sensor that can detect a strike on the striking surface of the pad section; and an output cable that is connected to the detection sensor and can output a detection signal detected by the detection sensor, and has an insertion groove formed in communication with the opening of the frame section, through which the output cable can be inserted and held. At the same time, the output cable is inserted into the insertion groove and can be inserted across the top and bottom of the electronic cymbal body. It is characterized by:

[0007] The invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that, in the electronic cymbal described in claim 1, the insertion groove portion is formed on the periphery of an opening formed in the frame portion, and an axial sleeve is interposed and attached between the opening of the frame portion and the support stand.

[0008] The invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that, in the electronic cymbal described in claim 2, the shaft sleeve has a slit formed at a position corresponding to the insertion groove portion, and the output cable can be inserted into the insertion groove portion through the slit.

[0009] The invention described in claim 4 is characterized in that, in the electronic cymbal described in claim 1, an axis sleeve is attached to an opening formed in the frame portion, and the insertion groove portion is formed in the axis sleeve.

[0010] The invention of claim 5 is characterized in that, in the electronic cymbal of any one of claims 1 to 4, a retaining shape is formed to prevent the output cable inserted into the insertion groove from coming off.

[0011] The invention described in claim 6 is characterized in that, in the electronic cymbal described in any one of claims 1 to 5, the electronic cymbal body is supported by the support stand in multiple levels, one above the other, and the output cable extending from the electronic cymbal body in the upper level is inserted into the insertion groove portion of the electronic cymbal body in the lower level.

[0012] The invention described in claim 7 is characterized in that, in the electronic cymbal described in any one of claims 1 to 5, the electronic cymbal body is suspended and supported by the support stand, and the output cable extending from the electronic cymbal body is inserted through the insertion groove portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the invention of claim 1, the output cable has an insertion groove formed in communication with the opening of the frame portion, through which the output cable can be inserted and held. At the same time, the output cable is inserted into the insertion groove so that it can be inserted from above to below the electronic cymbal body. Therefore, even when the electronic cymbal bodies are arranged in multiple stages vertically or when the electronic cymbal bodies are arranged in a suspended state, the output cable can be held and problems during performance can be avoided.

[0014] According to the invention of claim 2, the insertion groove portion is formed on the periphery of the opening formed in the frame portion, and the shaft sleeve is interposed and attached between the opening of the frame portion and the support stand, so that the output cable inserted into the insertion groove portion can be securely held by the shaft sleeve.

[0015] According to the invention of claim 3, a slit is formed in the shaft sleeve at a position corresponding to the insertion groove portion, and the output cable can be inserted into the insertion groove portion through the slit. Therefore, the output cable can be inserted into the insertion groove portion through the slit and held therein, thereby improving the ease of assembly work.

[0016] According to the invention of claim 4, an axis sleeve is attached to an opening formed in the frame portion, and an insertion groove portion is formed in the axis sleeve, so that the output cable can be held in the insertion groove portion of the axis sleeve without forming an insertion groove portion in the electronic cymbal body.

[0017] According to the invention of claim 5, a retaining shape is formed to prevent the output cable inserted into the insertion groove from coming out, so that the output cable inserted into the insertion groove can be held more securely.

[0018] According to the invention of claim 6, the electronic cymbal body is supported by a support stand in multiple vertical tiers, and the output cable extending from the electronic cymbal body in the upper tier is inserted into the insertion groove of the electronic cymbal body in the lower tier. This allows the output cable extending from the electronic cymbal body in the upper tier to be held in the insertion groove, preventing erroneous detection by the detection sensor and interference with performance.

[0019] According to the invention of claim 7, the electronic cymbal body is suspended and supported by a support stand, and the output cable extending from the electronic cymbal body is inserted into the insertion groove. This allows the output cable extending from the suspended electronic cymbal body to be held in the insertion groove, preventing it from looking unsightly or interfering with performance.

[0021] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the electronic cymbal according to the first embodiment is configured with an electronic cymbal body 1 and an electronic cymbal body 2 which are configured in two layers, one above the other, a vibration sensor 5 (detection sensor) and an axis sleeve 8 which are arranged in the electronic cymbal body 1 and the electronic cymbal body 2, respectively, and a cover member 9.

[0022] The electronic cymbal body 1 is disposed below the electronic cymbal body 2, and is supported at a predetermined height by a support stand T that extends vertically from stand legs Ta. The electronic cymbal body 1 comprises a pad section 3 having a striking surface F that can be struck by the performer, and a frame section 4 that supports the back side of the pad section 3. The electronic cymbal body 2 is disposed above the electronic cymbal body 1, and comprises a pad section 3 having a striking surface H that can be struck by the performer, and a frame section 4 that supports the back side of the pad section 3.

[0023] The pad 3 is made of a rubber or soft resin (silicon rubber in this embodiment) that can be struck with a stick, and is a disc-shaped member with an opening 3a formed in the center through which a support stand T can be inserted, as shown in Figures 7 and 8. The striking surfaces F and H formed on the top surface of the pad 3 are composed of cup portions Fb and Hb formed in the bulging portion at the center of the pad 3, edge portions Fc and Hc formed on the periphery of the pad 3, and bow portions Fa and Ha consisting of the area between the cup portions Fb and Hb and the edge portions Fc and Hc.

[0024] The frame section 4 is made of resin or metal (hard resin in this embodiment) and is a disk-shaped member with an opening 4a at its center through which a support stand T can be inserted, as shown in Figures 7 and 9. The pad section 3 is attached and integrated onto the front surface Ga of the frame section 4 to form the electronic cymbal body 1, and the back surface Gb is formed with multiple mounting sections g for attaching vibration sensors 5 (see Figure 7). These multiple mounting sections g are formed in positions that are rotationally symmetrical about the central axis of the frame section 4 and on concentric circles.

[0025] The cover member 9 is attached to the rear surface Gb side of the frame portion 4 so as to cover the vibration sensor 5 and the like, and is configured so that a substrate 6 (see FIG. 7) on which a predetermined electric circuit is formed is attached. The vibration sensor 5 is made up of a sensor that can detect a tap on the striking surface F of the pad portion 3, and in this embodiment, it is attached to the attachment portion g on the rear surface Gb of the frame portion 4 so that it can detect a tap on the pad portion 3 by detecting the vibration of the frame portion 4.

[0026] The vibration sensor 5 is electrically connected to the substrate 6 attached to the cover member 9, and when the vibration sensor 5 detects a strike on the striking surface F of the pad section 3, the detection signal is sent to the substrate 6. An edge sensor 11 (FIGS. 3 and 4) is attached to the periphery on the front surface Ga side of the frame section 4, and is capable of detecting a strike on the edge section Fc of the pad section 3. Like the vibration sensor 5, the edge sensor 11 is electrically connected to the substrate 6, and a detection signal is sent to the substrate 6.

[0027] Furthermore, a connector 6a is formed on the substrate 6, and the base end of an output cable 7a is attached to the connector 6a. output The cable 7a is connected to the vibration sensor 5 and the edge sensor 11 via the substrate 6, and is capable of outputting detection signals detected by the vibration sensor 5 and the edge sensor 11 to the outside. output The cable 7a has an output jack Ja formed at its tip, which can be connected to an external signal processing device (not shown).

[0028] When the player strikes the striking surface F of the pad section 3 with a stick to vibrate the electronic cymbal body 1, the strength of the strike is detected by the vibration sensor 5, and an electric signal corresponding to the strength is generated. outputThe signal is output to an external signal processing device (not shown) via the cable 7a and the output jack Ja. A strike on the edge portion Fc is identified depending on the on / off state of the edge sensor 11, and if a strike is detected when the edge sensor 11 is off, it is determined that a strike has been made on the bow portion Fa or the cup portion Fb, and this is output.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 10, the shaft sleeve 8 is made of a cylindrical elastic member (rubber in this embodiment) with a central hole 8a formed in the center. As shown in the figure, the shaft sleeve 8 has a slit 8b extending from the central hole 8a to the outer periphery and a groove shape 8c formed in the side surface in the entire circumferential direction. The shaft sleeve 8 is mounted between the opening 4a of the frame part 4 and the support stand T (in this embodiment, a stand sleeve Tb of the support stand T) as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.

[0030] Specifically, the shaft sleeve 8 is attached by fitting a groove 8c formed on its side surface onto the periphery of the opening 4a of the frame section 4, and is supported by inserting the stand sleeve Tb and the support stand T into the central hole 8a. Felt members 10 are attached to the top and bottom of the shaft sleeve 8, respectively, to prevent vibrations caused by striking from being transmitted to the support stand T and the electronic cymbal body 2 located above. Note that the symbol L in the figure denotes a tightening member used to tighten and secure the electronic cymbal bodies 1 and 2 to the support stand T.

[0031] The electronic cymbal body 2 has the same configuration as the electronic cymbal body 1, but is smaller in size in plan view than the electronic cymbal body 1. The electronic cymbal body 2 is constructed by integrating a pad section 3 with an opening 3a and a frame section 4 with an opening 4a, and is equipped with a vibration sensor 5 and a circuit board 6 similar to those of the electronic cymbal body 1. Furthermore, like the electronic cymbal body 1, the electronic cymbal body 2 has an axle sleeve 8 attached to the opening 4a of the frame section 4, and is configured to be supported by a support stand T via the axle sleeve 8.

[0032] That is, the electronic cymbal bodies 1 and 2 are supported vertically in multiple stages (two stages in this embodiment) by the support stand T. An output cable 7b for outputting a detection signal to the outside extends from the board 6 of the electronic cymbal body 2 located in the upper stage, and an output jack Jb formed at the tip of the output cable 7b is adapted to be connected to an external signal processing device (not shown).

[0033] 3, the electronic cymbal body 1 according to this embodiment has an insertion groove 4b (with an opening diameter of, for example, about 5 mm) that is formed in communication with the opening 4a of the frame part 4 and through which the output cable 7b of the electronic cymbal body 2 can be inserted and held. The insertion groove 4b consists of a notch formed on the periphery of the opening 4a (with an opening diameter of, for example, about 20 mm) formed in the frame part 4, and is attached with a shaft sleeve 8 interposed between the opening 4a of the frame part 4 and a support stand T (stand sleeve Tb).

[0034] That is, the electronic cymbal bodies 1 and 2 according to this embodiment are supported on a support stand T in multiple vertical stages (two stages), and the output cable 7b extending from the upper electronic cymbal body 2 is inserted into the insertion groove 4b of the lower electronic cymbal body 1. This allows the output cable 7b extending from the upper electronic cymbal body 2 to be securely held in the center position of the lower electronic cymbal body 1, preventing the output cable 7b from interfering with the striking surface F during performance.

[0035] In particular, because the insertion groove 4b is formed on the edge of the opening 4a, the output jack Jb can be inserted from the top to the bottom of the electronic cymbal body 1 using the opening 4a in the process of inserting the output cable 7b into the insertion groove 4b, and there is no need to provide a through-hole for inserting the output cable 7b in part of the striking surface F. Furthermore, because the shaft sleeve 8 is attached between the opening 4a of the frame part 4 and the support stand T (stand sleeve Tb), the output cable 7b inserted into the insertion groove 4b can be prevented from moving toward the support stand T, and pinching of the output cable 7b in the felt member 10 can be avoided.

[0036] Furthermore, the shaft sleeve 8 according to this embodiment has a slit 8b formed at a predetermined position. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the output cable 7b is inserted into the insertion groove 4b with the slit 8b aligned with the insertion groove 4b, and then, as shown in FIG. 6, the shaft sleeve 8 is rotated to shift the slit 8b from the insertion groove 4b, thereby enabling the output cable 7b to be inserted using the slit 8b and preventing the output cable 7b from slipping out of the slit 8b.

[0037] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 11 to 14, the electronic cymbal according to the second embodiment is configured to include an electronic cymbal main body 1 that is suspended and supported by a support stand T, a vibration sensor 5 (detection sensor) and a shaft sleeve 8 that are disposed within the electronic cymbal main body 1, and a cover member 9. Components that are configured similarly to those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and detailed explanations thereof will be omitted.

[0038] The electronic cymbal body 1 according to this embodiment is fixed to a support stand T extending downward from the top, and is supported in a suspended state. The electronic cymbal body 1 has an insertion groove 4b formed in communication with the opening 4a of the frame part 4, through which the output cable 7a can be inserted and held. As in the first embodiment, the insertion groove 4b is made up of a notch formed on the periphery of the opening 4a formed in the frame part 4, and is attached with a shaft sleeve 8 interposed between the opening 4a of the frame part 4 and the support stand T (stand sleeve Tb).

[0039] That is, the electronic cymbal body 1 according to this embodiment is suspended and supported by the support stand T, and the output cable 7a extending from the electronic cymbal body 1 is inserted through the insertion groove 4b. This allows the output cable 7a extending from the electronic cymbal body 1 to be routed along the support stand T while being securely held in the center position of the electronic cymbal body 1, preventing the output cable 7a from interfering with the striking surface F during performance or from running through the air, which could detract from the appearance.

[0040] According to the first and second embodiments, the frame portion 4 has an insertion groove portion 4b that is formed in communication with the opening 4a, and through which the output cable (7a, 7b) can be inserted and held. Therefore, even when the electronic cymbal bodies (1, 2) are arranged in multiple tiers, one above the other, or when the electronic cymbal body 1 is arranged in a suspended state, the output cable (7a, 7b) can be held and problems can be avoided during performance.

[0041] Furthermore, the insertion groove 4b according to this embodiment is formed on the periphery of the opening 4a formed in the frame 4, and the shaft sleeve 8 is attached between the opening 4a of the frame 4 and the support stand T. Therefore, the shaft sleeve 8 can reliably hold the output cables (7a, 7b) inserted into the insertion groove 4b. Furthermore, the shaft sleeve 8 according to this embodiment has a slit 8b formed at a position corresponding to the insertion groove 4b, and the output cables (7a, 7b) can be inserted into the insertion groove 4b through the slit 8b. Therefore, the output cables (7a, 7b) can be inserted into the insertion groove 4b through the slit 8b and held therein, improving the ease of assembly. Note that, as shown in FIG. 15, a shaft sleeve 8 that does not have a slit 8b and is detachable from the opening 4a may be used.

[0042] In particular, according to the first embodiment, the electronic cymbal bodies (1, 2) are supported on the support stand T in multiple vertical tiers (two tiers), and the output cable 7b extending from the electronic cymbal body 2 on the upper tier is inserted into the insertion groove 4b of the electronic cymbal body 1 on the lower tier, so that the output cable 7b extending from the electronic cymbal body 2 on the upper tier can be held in the insertion groove 4b, preventing erroneous detection by the vibration sensor 5 and preventing it from interfering with playing.

[0043] Furthermore, according to the second embodiment, the electronic cymbal body 1 is suspended and supported by the support stand T, and the output cable 7a extending from the electronic cymbal body 1 is configured to pass through the insertion groove portion 4b, so that the output cable 7a extending from the suspended electronic cymbal body 1 can be held in the insertion groove portion 4b, preventing it from deteriorating in appearance or interfering with performance.

[0044] Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, as shown in Fig. 16, the shaft sleeve 8 may have an insertion groove 8e formed therein. In this case, the shaft sleeve 8 has a slit 8d and an insertion groove 8e formed in continuation with the central hole 8a, and the output cables (7a, 7b) are inserted through the slits 8d and 8e. DepartmentThe output cables (7a, 7b) can be inserted through the opening 4a formed in the frame 4 to the insertion groove 8e, and held in the insertion groove 8e. In this way, if the shaft sleeve 8 is attached to the opening 4a formed in the frame 4 and the insertion groove 8e is formed in the shaft sleeve 8, the output cables (7a, 7b) can be held in the insertion groove 8e of the shaft sleeve 8 without forming an insertion groove 4b in the electronic cymbal body 1.

[0045] Alternatively, the sleeve 8 may not be provided. In that case, it is preferable that the insertion groove 4b is formed with a retaining shape that prevents the inserted output cables (7a, 7b) from coming off. In that case, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, a retaining shape 4c (constricted portion) having a small width may be formed between the opening 4a in the frame portion 4 and the insertion groove 4b. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 18, the opening 4a in the frame portion 4 and the L-shaped insertion groove 4b may be connected, and a retaining shape 3b that protrudes into the insertion groove 4b may be formed on the pad portion 3, thereby preventing the output cables (7a, 7b) held in the insertion groove 4b from coming off. In this way, if the retaining shapes 4c, 3b that prevent the output cables (7a, 7b) inserted into the insertion groove 4b are formed, the output cables (7a, 7b) inserted in the insertion groove 4b can be more reliably held in the insertion groove 4b.

[0046] Note that this embodiment is applied to an electronic cymbal body (1, 2) supported on a support stand T across multiple levels (two levels) vertically, or an electronic cymbal 1 supported by the support stand T in a suspended state, but the electronic cymbal body may be supported in other forms. Also, in the first embodiment, the electronic cymbal 1 alone may be supported on the support stand T, or an insertion groove 4b may be provided through which the output cable 7a of the electronic cymbal 1 can be inserted, and the electronic cymbal 1 may be used alone. Thus, in this embodiment, the insertion groove 4b is formed only in the frame portion 4, but a groove through which the output cables (7a, 7b) can be inserted may also be formed in the pad portion 3 at a position corresponding to the insertion groove 4b.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the output jacks (Ja, Jb) are formed at the ends of the output cables (7a, 7b), but the output jacks (Ja, Jb) may be formed inside the electronic cymbal bodies (1, 2) and the output cables (7a, 7b) may extend from the output jacks (Ja, Jb), or may be directly connected to an external signal processing device without going through the output jacks (Ja, Jb).The output cables (7a, 7b) may be capable of communicating not only the electrical signal output by the vibration sensor 5 but also various signals including the input signal. [Industrial Applicability]

[0048] As long as the electronic cymbal has an insertion groove formed in communication with the opening of the frame portion and capable of holding the output cable by inserting it through, it can be applied to electronic cymbals with different external shapes or with added functions.
