Abstract
A drum assembly that includes a frame member that defines a frame opening therein, an upper drum head member secured to the frame member and at least partially spanning the frame opening, and a threaded rod assembly that includes an upper threaded member and a lower member and that is co-axial with a central axis defined by the frame member. The upper threaded member is threadingly engaged with the upper drum head member and is rotatable with respect to the lower member. Rotation of the upper threaded member in a predetermined direction increases or decreases the tension in the upper drum head member. The threaded rod assembly includes a pivot assembly such that the upper drum head member is pivotable with respect to the central axis.
Claims17
A drum assembly comprising:
- a frame member that defines a frame opening therein, wherein the frame member defines a central axis,
- an upper drum head member secured to the frame member and at least partially spanning the frame opening, and
- a threaded rod assembly that includes an upper threaded member and a lower member and that is co-axial with the central axis, wherein the upper threaded member is threadingly engaged with the upper drum head member and is rotatable with respect to the lower member,
- wherein rotation of the upper threaded member in a predetermined direction increases or decreases the tension in the upper drum head member, wherein the threaded rod assembly includes a pivot assembly such that the upper drum head member is pivotable with respect to the central axis.
A drum assembly comprising:
- a frame member that defines a frame opening therein, wherein the frame member defines a central axis, wherein an edge member is secured on the frame member,
- an upper drum head member secured to the frame member and at least partially spanning the frame opening, and
- a threaded rod assembly that includes an upper threaded member and a lower member and that is co-axial with the central axis, wherein the upper threaded member is threadingly engaged with the upper drum head member and is rotatable with respect to the lower member,
- wherein rotation of the upper threaded member in a predetermined direction increases or decreases the tension in the upper drum head member.
