Description
- The present invention relates to a quick-release cymbal felt locating device, and more particularly to a quick-release cymbal felt locating device that includes a clamping mechanism for quickly assembling to or disassembling from a cymbal pole.
- A conventional cymbal stand includes a pole erected thereon. Two shock-suppressing felt washers are extended through by an upper end of the pole for clamping a cymbal between the two felt washers. A cymbal fastening screw is screwed into the pole to hold the two felt washers in place, so that the two felt washers are pressed against an upper and a lower side of the cymbal to hold the latter in place. The above arrangement allows a user to strike the cymbal to produce sound. However, whenever it is necessary to disassemble the cymbal from the pole of the conventional cymbal stand, the user has to loosen the cymbal fastening screw before the cymbal can be removed from the pole. Therefore, a lot of time and efforts are spent to assemble or disassemble the cymbal and the felt washers to or from the pole. Further, since the cymbal fastening screw is turned to tighten to or loosen from the pole, it is easily subjected to wearing and tends to undesirably separate from the pole after it has been tightened or loosened many times. It is therefore necessary to work out a way to improve the conventional cymbal fastening screw.
- A primary object of the present invention is to provide a quick-release cymbal felt locating device that includes a clamping mechanism enabling quick assembling or disassembled of the device to or from a cymbal pole.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a quick-release cymbal felt locating device that includes a safety pin and an elastic element to ensure firm and stable connection of the device to a cymbal pole.

The base is provided with a first insert hole vertically extended through the cavity and a second insert hole horizontally extended through the cavity; and the movable clamping element is provided with a first communicating hole corresponding to the first insert hole and a second communicating hole corresponding to the second insert hole. And, a safety pin is transversely extended through the second insert hole and the second communicating hole for restricting displacement of the movable clamping element relative to the safety pin and the cavity.

- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the safety pin includes a first section and a second section that are different in thickness. When the safety pin is inserted into the second insert hole and the second communicating hole with only the first section located in the second communicating hole, there is a margin space in the second communicating hole between the safety pin and the movable clamping element, allowing the movable clamping element to displace inward or outward relative to the safety pin and the cavity; and when the first section and the second section are both located in the second communicating hole, the movable clamping element is locked in place relative to the cavity.
- The second insert hole has two opposite ends being separately sized corresponding to the first section and the second section; and the second communicating hole is sized corresponding to the second section. The safety pin further includes a slope section located between the first section and the second section, allowing the movable clamping element to conveniently slide from the first section to the second section via the slope section when the safety pin is displaced in the second insert hole and the second communicating hole.
- In an operable embodiment, the first insert hole has an inner wall surface cooperating with an opposite inner wall surface of the first communicating hole to form a clamping mechanism. And, the first communicating hole is provided on a part of its inner wall surface with internal threads, so that the quick-release cymbal felt locating device can be engaged with external threads provided on an outer surface of the cymbal pole.
- Moreover, an elastic element is axially disposed between the base and the movable clamping element for automatically elastically pushing the movable clamping element outward to press against the safety pin when the movable clamping element is not subjected to an inward push force externally applied thereto.
- In a preferred embodiment, a stop mechanism is further provided between the base and the safety pin for limiting a range within which the safety pin can be displaced.

The quick-release cymbal felt locatingdevice 10 further includes asafety pin 13 that transversely extends through thesecond insert hole 113 and the second communicatinghole 122 to allow or to restrict displacement of themovable clamping element 12 relative to thesafety pin 13 and thecavity 111. - In an operable embodiment, the
first insert hole 112 has an inner wall surface cooperates with an opposite inner wall surface of the first communicatinghole 12 to form a clamping mechanism 123 (seeFIG. 3 ). It is noted the first communicatinghole 121 is provided on a part of its inner wall surface withinternal threads 124, so that the quick-release cymbal felt locatingdevice 10 can engage with external threads provided on an outer surface of a cymbal pole 23 (seeFIGS. 7 and 8 ) to ensure firm and reliable clamping of thedevice 10 to thecymbal pole 23. - An
elastic element 14 is axially provided between thebase 11 and themovable clamping element 12. As can be seen fromFIG. 2 , thecavity 111 of thebase 11 and themovable clamping element 12 are provided with afirst recess 114 and asecond recess 125, respectively. Theelastic element 14 is disposed in between the first and thesecond recess movable clamping element 12 not subjected to an inward push externally applied thereto is automatically elastically pushed outward by theelastic element 14 to press against thesafety pin 13. Thus, with theelastic element 14, theclamping mechanism 123 formed by thefirst insert hole 112 and the first communicatinghole 121 can provide further enhanced clamping effect. - The
safety pin 13 includes afirst section 131 and asecond section 132 that are different in thickness. When thesafety pin 13 is inserted into thesecond insert hole 113 and the second communicatinghole 122 with only thefirst section 131 being located in the second communicatinghole 122 as shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , there would be amargin space 126 left in the second communicatinghole 122 between thesafety pin 13 and themovable clamping element 12, allowing themovable clamping element 12 to displace inward or outward relative to thesafety pin 13 and thecavity 111. On the other hand, when thefirst section 131 and thesecond section 132 are both located in the second communicatinghole 122 as shown inFIG. 3 , themovable clamping element 12 is fixedly held in thecavity 111 by thesafety pin 13. In the illustrated embodiment, thesecond insert hole 113 has two opposite ends separately sized corresponding to thefirst section 131 and of thesecond section 132, and the secondcommunicating hole 122 is sized corresponding to thesecond section 132. Aslope section 133 is further provided on thesafety pin 13 between thefirst section 131 and thesecond section 132, allowing themovable clamping element 12 to conveniently slide from thefirst section 131 to thesecond section 132 via theslope section 133 when thesafety pin 13 is displaced in thesecond insert hole 113 and the second communicatinghole 122. - The quick-release cymbal felt locating
device 10 further includes astop mechanism 15 provided between thebase 11 and thesafety pin 13 for limiting a range within which thesafety pin 13 can be transversely displaced. Thestop mechanism 15 includes afixing hole 151 formed on thebase 11 and a long slidingslot 134 formed on thesafety pin 13. The slidingslot 134 internally defines a firstlimiting end 134 a and an opposite second limitingend 134 b. And, astop pin 152 is extended into thefixing hole 151 and thesliding slot 134. - Please refer to
FIG. 3 that shows the quick-release cymbal felt locatingdevice 10 is in use and both of thefirst section 131 and thesecond section 132 of thesafety pin 13 are located in the second communicatinghole 122. Since thesecond section 132 and the second communicatinghole 122 are the same in size, themovable clamping element 12 is now immovable held in thecavity 111 by thesecond section 132 while the inner wall surface of thefirst insert hole 112 and the opposite inner wall surface of the first communicatinghole 121 together form a clamping state. Further, as a result of an elastic push force of theelastic element 14, the clamping effect provided by the first communicatinghole 121 and thefirst insert hole 112 is largely enhanced. - Please refer to
FIGS. 4 and 5 that show the quick-release cymbal felt locatingdevice 10 is in use but only thefirst section 131 of thesafety pin 13 is located in the second communicatinghole 122 of themovable clamping element 12. Since thefirst section 131 is smaller than the first communicatinghole 122 in size, there is amargin space 126 in the first communicatinghole 122 between themovable clamping element 12 and thesafety pin 13, allowing themovable clamping element 12 to displace inward or outward relative to thesafety pin 13 and thecavity 111. When a user externally applies a force to push themovable clamping element 12 inward, as shown inFIG. 4 , theelastic element 14 is compressed and the first communicatinghole 121 together with thefirst insert hole 112 forms a release state. On the other hand, when the user stops applying the push force against themovable clamping element 12, themovable clamping element 12 automatically moves outward to press against thesafety pin 13 under an elastic restoring force of theelastic element 14. -
FIG. 6 is a bottom perspective view of the quick-release cymbal felt locatingdevice 10. Please refer toFIG. 6 along withFIGS. 7 and 8 . Acoupler 16 is formed around and downward projected from an end of thefirst insert hole 112 on a bottom side of thebase 11 for a piece of cymbal felt 21 to fit therearound.
