Hi-Hat Cymbal Stand Nesting Structure for Compact Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Hi-hat brass cymbal stands require disassembly for storage, leading to potential loss of parts during transportation and storage, and do not effectively reduce longitudinal height for compact storage.
Innovation Solution
A Hi-hat brass cymbal stand design that allows for height reduction without disassembly, featuring a storage mechanism with a second joint tube and pulling mechanism that can be inserted into a storage tube, along with a fixing mechanism for the foot pedal and a buffer to prevent noise during storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the Hi-hat brass cymbal stand is disassembled for storage to reduce volume, then the storage volume is reduced, but the parts may be lost during transportation and storage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements nesting by inserting the second tube body into the storage tube, and the first tube body into the second tube body, creating a compact nested structure for storage without disassembling parts. This resolves the contradiction by achieving volume reduction through spatial nesting rather than disassembly, thereby maintaining part retention while reducing storage volume.
2Area of stationary object
If the foot stand has a retracting function to reduce width, then the lateral width is reduced, but the longitudinal height still requires traditional disassembly for storage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends nesting to the longitudinal direction by allowing the second tube body and first tube body to be inserted into the storage tube sequentially. This enables height reduction through nesting without requiring disassembly, thereby reducing storage operation complexity while maintaining the retracting function for width reduction.
3Reliability
If the components are kept assembled for storage, then part loss is prevented, but the storage volume and portability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables assembled components to be stored in a compact nested configuration where tube bodies are inserted into each other. This maintains part retention by keeping components assembled while significantly reducing storage volume through the nested arrangement, resolving the contradiction between reliability and volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the storage approach by utilizing the longitudinal dimension for nesting tube bodies, rather than only lateral compression. This dimensional change allows assembled parts to occupy less space by arranging them vertically in a nested sequence, resolving the volume issue while maintaining assembly integrity.
4Volume of moving object
If the pedals are folded and retracted to reduce volume, then the lateral width is reduced, but the longitudinal height reduction still requires disassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines pedal folding with tube nesting, where retracted pedals are inserted into the storage tube along with the folded foot stand. This integrated approach achieves both lateral width reduction through folding and longitudinal height reduction through nesting, while maintaining ease of operation by keeping the process simple and unified.

AI summary
A Hi-hat brass cymbal stand is disclosed, which includes: a storage seat, a foot stand, a fixer, a first tube body, an assembling and disassembling member, a second tube body, and a pedal mechanism. The storage seat has a base plate and a storage tube mounted on the base plate. The second tube body is connected above the first tube body, and has a second joint tube, a second pulling mechanism located inside the second joint tube, a clutch and a brass cymbal seat. The brass cymbal seat is mounted on the top of the second joint tube, and the second pulling mechanism will pass through the brass cymbal seat and then connected to the clutch, wherein the second tube body can be disassembled and inserted into the storage tube for storage, and the second pulling mechanism can be fixed to the base plate. When the second joint tube moves, the brass cymbal seat will abut against the clutch, so that the second joint tube cannot be separated from the storage tube. In this way, the Hi-hat brass cymbal stand can be shortened in height for a user to storage and carry, and parts of the Hi-hat brass cymbal stand can be prevented from falling off.
