Abstract
A pedal free cymbal device that includes a shaft extending along an axis and two cymbals coaxially mounted on the shaft so that one of the cymbals is moveable in relation to the other. A triggering mechanism lever in this case is coupled to the shaft for displacing the moveable cymbal into engagement with one another. The lever is secured to the shaft and whose end is extended past the cymbals enabling the user to actuate the lever with any part of his or her hands or arms.
Claims2
A cymbal device for pedal free playing, comprising
- a shaft extending along an axis
- a first cymbal secured to the shaft
- a second cymbal mounted slidably on the shaft and coaxially with the first cymbal
- a trigger mechanism mounted to a body at a pivot point
- the trigger mechanism including:
- a first end extending away from the pivot point away from the second end,
- the first end causes sliding movement of the second cymbal along the shaft in a direction substantially parallel to the axis and
- a second end extending from the pivot point to an area near the edges of the two cymbals,
- the second end for manipulation of the user with downward pressure using a part of the arm whereby the second cymbal slides along the shaft and contacts the first cymbal.

- a shaft extending along an axis
- a first cymbal secured to the shaft
- a second cymbal mounted slidably on the shaft and coaxially with the first cymbal
- a trigger mechanism mounted to a body at a pivot point, the trigger mechanism including:
- a first end extending from a pivot point away from the second end
- the first end accept a spring end whose other end is connected to the body
- and causes constant downward pull
- a pivot pin carrying two cams with the shaft between the two cams
- a second end extending from the pivot point to an area near the edges of the two cymbals having an extended piece 90 degrees from the end of the second end the second end with the extended piece 90 degrees from the end for a manipulation by the user with downward pressure using hand or arm on any part of the second end will cause the pivot pin to rotate whereby the cams create an upward push to the second cymbal engaging the first cymbal.
