Ein Vorteil der erfindungsgemässen Anordnung ist, dass die Zugeinheiten zum einen über die Stelleinheiten individuell in ihrem Abstand zum Resonanzfell justiert werden können und zum anderen über die Abhebeeinheit alle Zugeinheiten gleichzeitig vom Resonanzfell abgehoben oder an dieses herangezogen werden können. Der Klang der Trommel kann auf diese Weise, wie vom Trommler gewünscht, eingestellt werden.One advantage of the arrangement according to the invention is that the traction units can be individually adjusted in their distance from the resonance head via the actuating units and, on the other hand, all traction units can be simultaneously lifted from the resonance head via the lifting unit or pulled onto it. The sound of the drum can be adjusted in this way as desired by the drummer.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform beträgt eine Höhe der zweiten Hülse, 25% bis 50% einer Höhe der ersten Hülse. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die richtiges Wahl des Höhenverhältnisses beider Hülsen zueinander die Gleiteigenschaften des Sperrelements in der Nut verbessert und somit auch die Bedienbarkeit der Vorrichtung. Bevorzugt ist die zweite Hülse halb so hoch wie die erste Hülse auszubilden.In a preferred embodiment, a height of the second sleeve is 25% to 50% of a height of the first sleeve. It was found that the correct choice of the height ratio of the two sleeves to one another improves the sliding properties of the locking element in the groove and thus also the operability of the device. The second sleeve is preferably designed to be half as high as the first sleeve.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit die Bedienbarkeit der Vorrichtung zu verbessern ist die Ausgestaltung der Nut selbst. Die Nut verfügt über eine Gleitfläche welche in direktem Kontakt mit dem Sperrelement steht. Bei Betätigung der Vorrichtung gleitet das Sperrelement entlang dieser Fläche. Zur Verbesserung der Gleiteigenschaften, weist diese Gleitfläche einen entlang dieser Fläche verlaufenden Vorsprung auf, der diese Fläche entsprechend verbreitert.Another possibility of improving the operability of the device is the design of the groove itself. The groove has a sliding surface which is in direct contact with the locking element. When the device is actuated, the locking element slides along this surface. To improve the sliding properties, this sliding surface has a projection running along this surface, which accordingly widens this surface.
Alternativ, kann diese Fläche auch schulterförmig ausbildet sein.Alternatively, this surface can also be designed in the shape of a shoulder.
