Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rhythm instrument for generating sounds by the counter-movement of cymbal plates, which are recessed in the middle and are provided with an all-round edge and an operating device that enables the counter-movement.
  • convex-shaped cymbal plates are used as a rhythm and percussion instrument when making music.
  • Single or multiple cymbal plates can be used as a percussion instrument, with sounds being produced by means of sticks or adequate aids.
  • the cymbal plates can also be struck against one another or moved against one another, with two cymbal plates of the same size touching on their outer edges. Such a collision causes the cymbal plates, which are preferably made of metal, to vibrate, which produces a particularly sustainable sound.
  • the standard equipment of a drum kit also includes so-called hi-hats.
  • rhythm instruments are also used by Hand operated, with handles or similar on the back of the cymbal plate. are attached, which allow the two cymbal plates to move against one another and to strike one another. This is actually one of the oldest rhythm instruments that is known.
  • the shape of these cymbal plates has changed only slightly over the centuries. As a rule, they are hat-shaped, which is why they are also referred to as hi-hats. Over the decades and centuries, the shape has been adapted or changed under certain circumstances, the metal used has also been varied, but the rhythm instrument as such has remained unchanged, as the cymbal plates are coordinated and shaped so that they meet different sound variations when they meet enable. However, these sound variations are limited.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a rhythm instrument which enables an increased variety of sounds.
  • the cymbal plates to be guided against one another are assigned at least one further cymbal plate which is designed to be capable of being struck with one of the cymbal plates or separately from it on the other cymbal plate with the aid of the operating device.
  • a hi-hat can also be referred to as a triple hi-hat, because at least three cymbal plates are available which are to be guided and struck against the central cymbal plate or against one another.
  • Such a rhythm instrument like the ancient rhythm instruments, can be operated by hand by moving the two outer cymbal plates against the central fixed cymbal plate and beating them and against each other.
  • these different stops enable the generation of a much higher variety of sounds, quite apart from the fact that by appropriate shaping of the different cymbal plates, the variety of sounds is significantly greater than in previously known Rhythm instruments.
  • the middle cymbal plate particularly in the case of an operating device to be operated via the foot, is arranged in a fixed manner, while the other two cymbal plates are movable against it.
  • Appropriate training of the operating device makes it possible to move the upper and lower plates against the central cymbal plate at the same time or with a time delay. It turns out to be particularly advantageous if the upper cymbal plate and the lower cymbal plate are convexly curved and are arranged with the curvature pointing away from the central cymbal plate in order to produce ideal vibration behavior and to achieve a corresponding sound image.
  • the middle cymbal plate is stationary and the two other cymbal plates are designed and arranged so that they can move against the middle cymbal plate and against each other via the control device, so that the drummer has the opportunity to fully exploit the variety of sounds the differently movable or simultaneously give movable cymbal plate.
  • the middle cymbal plate is designed in a wave shape.
  • This wave-shaped arrangement makes it possible to further vary and shape the sounds, as it is considered appropriate by the respective drummer. It is particularly advantageous if the middle cymbal plate has radially extending, wave-shaped elevations that flatten towards the edge. The shape, number and extent of the individual bumps ensure that the middle cymbal plate can still vibrate to a considerable extent even if it is struck together with the upper and lower cymbal plates, which is absolutely desirable in terms of the quality of the sound .
  • This effect is due to the more compliant and less rigid structure of the cymbal, but also due to its enlarged surface.
  • the drummer can realize "his" ideal and beloved sound.
  • the shape of the middle cymbal plate in particular can also be advantageously influenced by striking a stick or other rhythm part.
  • the cymbal plate arranged below the two cymbal plates has a different diameter from at least one of the two other cymbal plates and can be actuated together with the upper cymbal plate or separately from the latter via the operating device. All three cymbal plates can have a different diameter, but also two the same and the third one different. The drummer thus opens up completely new possibilities when putting together his instrument by being able to select his three cymbal plates with regard to the desired sound. There are no limits to the possible variations, as a multitude of combinations of three counter plates can be realized.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the upper part kenteller has the smallest and the lower cymbal plate has the largest diameter of the bowl plate.
  • the cymbal plate arranged in the middle has a diameter that lies between the other two.
  • the exact reverse order can also be provided.
  • This arrangement in particular with three cymbal plates of different diameters, in which the middle one has a smaller diameter than one and a larger diameter than the other, ensures the greatest possible variety of sounds.
  • the instrument can of course be adjusted as you wish, depending on which sound sequence or intensity is desired.
  • the invention provides that the cymbal plates are designed to make the largest possible contact possible at the points at which they collide with another cymbal plate. When two cymbal plates are brought together, they strike each other across the surface, instead of just touching at individual points. This also creates a fuller sound.
  • the invention advantageously provides that the cymbal plates are designed to form an annular surface at the points at which they collide with another cymbal plate.
  • cymbal plates are used, which are quasi graded.
  • a cymbal plate can be played simultaneously or offset by two other cymbal plates, with an additional possibility of variation being that, if a rather dull sound is desired, the third cymbal plate strikes two counter plates that have already been brought together or three quasi freely swinging plates Cymbal plates are brought against each other if a more sustainable sound is intended.
  • an embodiment is proposed in which the locking devices for the cymbal plates are designed as hollow bodies to be supplied with air.
  • hollow bodies which are preferably made of plastic, make it possible to establish a connection between the cymbal plate on the one hand and the rod, outer tube or jacket tube on the other hand, which connection can be adjusted flexibly and represents a further possibility of variation.
  • the hollow body can be set up hard or soft in accordance with the pressure applied, depending on whether a long-lasting rich or a short sound is to be achieved.
  • the oblique position of the cymbal plates can be achieved with the hollow bodies according to the invention, in that they are unevenly pressurized, which can be achieved by designing the hollow body accordingly.
  • a particularly expedient design of a mechanical operating device for the triple hi-hat described is that in which the rod is connected in an articulated manner to a pedal known per se, which at the same time is designed to act on a cable connected to the outer tube, the cable being provided via a deflection roller guided on the outer tube is fixed.
  • the movement of the further cymbal plate can also be changed, for example with regard to the fact that it moves in the same direction as the upper cymbal plate.
  • the invention achieves this in that the pedal part of the rod directly via a cam drive plate is designed to be coupled to the outer tube. This eliminates the deflection of the movement of the pedal, since the rod and the outer tube are connected to one another, so that the same direction of movement must be observed in each case. It may be necessary to make the cable pull so elastic that there is no over-tensioning and tearing.
  • the overvoltage and the demolition are prevented in particular by assigning a spring arrangement to the cable, the hardness of which is higher than that of the cylindrical springs. This ensures that when the outer tube moves against the pressure of the cylindrical springs, the spring arrangement leads to an elongation of the cable, so that damage is avoided here.
  • the length and design of the spring arrangement can be adapted to the particular circumstances, it being necessary to give the cable pull a certain flexibility by the spring arrangement, which prevents tearing.
  • the rod is assigned a piston, the fixed tube serving as a cylinder housing with an upper and a lower cylinder chamber. Since with the pedal the rod running inside the fixed tube is moved downwards with the pedal, but the outer tube with the attached lower cymbal plate has to be moved upwards in order to guide it against the rigid cymbal plate, a deflection is necessary that first the piston arranged in the cylinder housing is moved downwards while the pedal is actuated, thereby producing a pressure cushion.
  • This pressure cushion is pressed through the outlets into a so-called air chamber.
  • This air cushion can only look for this one way, since the bottom of the cylinder housing is on the underside. The resulting pressure rises at great speed, so that the outer tube with the lower cymbal plate connected to it pushes upwards until it hits the middle, rigid cymbal plate. Instead of this air cushion, it is also conceivable to work with liquids.
  • the lower cylinder chamber located below the piston is sealed from the atmosphere and via an outlet has a connection to a lower air chamber formed between the outer wall of the fixed tube and the displaceable outer tube, its outlet connecting to the lower one Manufactures air chamber.
  • Moving an air cushion into an adjacent chamber is of course only possible if it is sufficiently sealed against the other chambers and the outside air. This is the only way to ensure that the air really looks for the intended way to achieve the desired effect, in this case pushing up and then lowering the outer tube. Any connections to the outside air would prevent this, since the air would seek the path of least resistance through these openings.
  • the cymbal plates must be securely attached to the linkage, this being supported by the hollow bodies to be filled with air mentioned above and an adjustment of the recess in the cymbal plates.
  • Each recess thus has a different size and possibly also a different shape.
  • the recess can have a shape deviating from the circle in all or only in some of the cymbal plates.
  • a triangular or oval shape is preferred, and both shapes can also be realized in a set.
  • all the recesses can also be of the same size and / or of the same shape, it being possible to fix them to the rods or tubes by means of adapters. If the drummer wants to play with only two cymbal plates at times for special reasons, this is possible by reducing the middle cymbal plate to a ring that does not prevent the other cymbal plates from moving against each other. The drummer can then operate his triple hi-hat with advantageous velocity.
  • the stroke dynamics are essentially determined by the springs in the mechanics.
  • the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that an instrument is created which offers numerous, so far not feasible play and touch variations.
  • the operator of the instrument opens up possibilities with the pure operation via pedal as well as with additional playing with drumsticks, which go far beyond the previously known, relatively monotonous beating of two cymbal plates.

  • Fig. 6 shows a longitudinal section through the lower part of the standpipe with the cylinder receiving the cylindrical springs
  • Fig. 7 shows a longitudinal section through a pneumatic device
  • Fig. 8 is a bottom view of the bowl plate.
  • Fig. 1 shows the arrangement of a triple hi-hat. Not shown in these 10
  • the upper cymbal plate 2, the fixed cymbal plate 3 and the lower cymbal plate 4 each have a different diameter, so that there is a considerably larger sound range when the cymbal plates 2, 3, 4 are struck together.
  • the fixed cymbal plate 3 is connected to a tube 6, in which the rod 7, which is displaceable in its axial direction, is arranged; both are surrounded by the outer tube 11, to which the lower cymbal plate 4 is fastened.
  • the jacket tube 12 serves as the outer end.
  • FIG. 2 shows a conventional hi-hat, which consists of an upper cymbal plate 2 and a lower cymbal plate 4, the lower cymbal plate 4 having a larger diameter than the upper cymbal plate 2.
  • the fixed basin plate 3 can take a variety of forms, only one of which provides a design (not shown). In the illustration according to FIG. 3, the fixed platter 3 is convex. 11
  • FIG. 4 then differs from FIG. 3 in that the fixed cymbal plate 3 is wave-shaped in the radial direction.
  • the number and orientation of these waves is arbitrary, again selectable depending on the desired sound.
  • FIG. 5 An alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 5 with the shafts extending in the axial direction in the case of the fixed cymbal plate 3.
  • the upper cymbal plate 2 is here bell-shaped, designed as a so-called china 9.
  • the edge of this China 9 is designed as a stop ring 10 which strikes the fixed cymbal plate 3 with a substantially larger area in order to produce a significantly more intensive sound.
  • the lower cymbal plate 4 is comparatively strongly convex.
  • FIG. 6 shows the mechanical embodiment of a triple hi-hat.
  • the standpipe 49 carrying the cymbal plates 2, 3, 4 consists of different tubes which are guided one inside the other.
  • the rod 7, which is of tubular design here a cable pull 50 is guided over a deflection roller 51 such that when the pedals (not shown here) are moved downward, the outer tube connected to the cable pull 50 is moved upward against the pressure of the spring associated with this.
  • this is provided with a collar 58, which is supported between two cylindrical springs 59, 60.
  • Fig. 7 shows the pneumatic variant.
  • the piston 8 assigned to the rod 7 presses the air cushion from the cylinder chamber 23 arranged in the cylinder housing 16 into the air chamber 27 when the pedal is depressed.
  • the outer tube, to which the lower cymbal plate 4 is fastened is re-pressed 12 pressed at the top.
  • a prerequisite for this movement is a sufficiently large annular surface of the annular piston 20 as a possible means of attacking the air.
  • This arrangement also results in a deflection of the force, because the pulling down of the rod 7 with the piston 8 causes the outer tube 24 to move upward, which ultimately leads to the lower cymbal plate 4 striking the central cymbal plate 3.
  • Numerous valves 25, 25 'and seals 26, 26', 26 ", 26 '" ensure these functions.
