Abstract
A high hat stand that facilitates adjustment of the height of a distal end of a pedal. The high hat stand includes a fixed body fixed to a gate frame and a movable body fastened to the fixed body. The height of the distal end of the foot pedal is adjusted in accordance with the fastened amount of the fixed body and the movable body. A pair of clamping plates, which are formed integrally with the fixed body, are fastened to each other by a bolt to prohibit rotation of the movable body and determine the height of the distal end of the foot pedal.
Claims21
A high hat cymbal stand comprising:
- a stand body for supporting a fixed cymbal;
- an operation rod connected to the fixed cymbal, the operation rod having a lower portion;
- an engaging member fixed to the lower portion of the operation rod;
- a pedal connected to the operation rod and operated to move a movable cymbal relative to the fixed cymbal, the pedal having a distal end and a usage status;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism arranged between the stand body and the pedal to adjust a height of the distal end of the pedal, wherein the adjustment mechanism includes;
- a temporary positioning mechanism for changing a distance between the stand body and the engaging member to temporarily position the distal end of the pedal at a certain height;
- and
- a lock mechanism for locking and unlocking the temporary positioning mechanism, wherein the usage status of the pedal can be tested at the certain height when the temporary positioning mechanism is in an unlocked state.

A high hat cymbal stand comprising:
- a stand body for detachably supporting a fixed cymbal;
- an operation rod connected to the fixed cymbal, the operation rod having a lower portion;
- an engaging member fixed to the lower portion of the operation rod;
- a pedal connected to the operation rod and operated to move a movable cymbal relative to the fixed cymbal, wherein the pedal is attached to the stand body and is moved within a stroke defined by an initial position in which the fixed cymbal and the movable cymbal are separated from each other and an operation position in which the fixed cymbal and the movable cymbal contact each other, the pedal having a usage status;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism attached to the stand body to adjust an initial position of the pedal and change the stroke, wherein the adjustment mechanism includes;
- a temporary positioning mechanism operated to temporarily position the pedal at the initial position by changing a distance between the stand body and the engaging member;
- and
- a lock mechanism operated to lock the temporary positioning mechanism, wherein the operation of the temporary positioning mechanism is prohibited when the temporary positioning mechanism is locked, and the operation of the temporary positioning mechanism is permitted when the temporary positioning mechanism is unlocked, the initial position of the pedal being adjusted by operating the temporary positioning mechanism, wherein the usage status of said pedal can be tested at said adjusted initial position when the temporary positioning mechanism is in an unlocked state.

A high hat cymbal stand comprising:
- a stand body for supporting cymbal;
- a pedal operated to move the cymbal;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism arranged between the stand body and the pedal to adjust the height of a distal end of the pedal, wherein the adjustment mechanism includes;
- a temporary positioning mechanism for temporarily positioning the distal end of the pedal at a certain height;
- and
- a lock mechanism for locking and unlocking the temporary positioning mechanism, wherein a usage status of said pedal can be tested at the certain height when the temporary positioning mechanism is in an unlocked state, the stand body including:
- an operation rod connected to the cymbal and moved in cooperation with the operation of the pedal;
- a pipe unit through which the operation rod extends, wherein the operation rod has a lower portion arranged below a lower end of the pipe unit;
- an engaging member fixed to the lower portion of the operation rod;
- and
- a connecting member for connecting the operation rod and the pedal, the temporary positioning mechanism including:
- a female thread member fixed to the pipe unit coaxially with the operation rod;
- and
- a male thread member fastened to the female thread member, wherein the distance between the pipe unit and the engaging member is changed in accordance with the relative position between the male thread member and the female thread member to adjust the height of the distal end of the pedal.
12 more elements
A high hat cymbal stand comprising:
- a stand body for detachably supporting two cymbals;
- a pedal attached to the stand body and moved within a stroke defined by an initial position in which the two cymbals are separated from each other and an operation position in which the two cymbals contact each other;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism attached to the stand body to adjust the initial position of the pedal and change the stroke, the adjustment mechanism including;
- a temporary positioning mechanism operated to temporarily position the pedal at the initial position;
- and
- a lock mechanism operated to lock the temporary positioning mechanism, wherein the operation of the temporary positioning mechanism is prohibited when the temporary positioning mechanism is locked, and the operation of the temporary positioning mechanism is permitted when the temporary positioning mechanism is unlocked, the initial position of the pedal being adjusted by operating the temporary positioning mechanism, wherein a usage status of said pedal can be tested at said adjusted initial position when the temporary positioning mechanism is in an unlocked state wherein the stand body includes:
- an operation rod for transmitting the operation of the pedal to the cymbals;
- and
- an engaging member fixed to a lower portion of the operation rod, wherein the temporary positioning mechanism includes:
- a female thread member fixed to the pipe unit coaxially with the operation rod;
- and
- a male thread member fastened to the female thread member and contacted with the engaging member when the pedal is arranged at the initial position, wherein the length of the temporary positioning mechanism along the operation rod is changed by rotating the male thread member.
