Cymbals operation control

Cymbals operation control apparatus, comprising

• a) mechanism including a first lever, a hook on the lever, and a handle on the lever to achieve release of the upper disc to drop toward a lower cymbals disc,
• b) means including a vertically movable upright rod to support said mechanism,
• c) and a releasable device to block pivoting of the lever, said device including a second lever,
• d) and wherein the releasable device is rotatable and has a projection or shoulder rotatable into a position that interferes with first lever pivoting to block said pivoting of the first lever.

Cymbals operation control apparatus, comprising

• a) mechanism including lever, a hook on the lever, and a handle on the lever to achieve release of the upper disc to drop toward a lower cymbals disc,
• b) means including a vertically movable upright rod to support said mechanism,
• c) and a releasable device to block pivoting of the lever,
• d) said device comprising a pin rotatable into and out of a position in which first lever rotation is blocked,
• e) and including a support attached to the rod, and pivotally supporting said first lever and said pin, said pin operable as a second lever said lever having a first axis of pivoting, (f) said device having a second lever, said second lever having a second axis of pivoting, and said axes are spaced apart and in skewed relation to one an other.

Multiple cymbals control apparatus, each apparatus comprising

• a) mechanism including a first lever, a hook on the lever, and a handle on the lever to achieve release of the upper disc to drop toward a lower cymbals disc,
• b) means including a vertically movable upright rod to support said mechanism,
• c) and a releasable device to block pivoting of the lever,
• and a foot pedal operatively connected to each apparatus to move a cymbals disc or discs controllably unblocked by said releasable device or devices,
• d) said device comprising a second lever, said releasable device being movable and having a projection movable into position that interferes with first lever pivoting to block said pivoting of the first lever said lever having a first axis of pivoting, (e) said device having a second lever, said second lever having a second axis of pivoting, and said axes are spaced apart and in skewed relation to one an other.

Position control apparatus, for dual cymbals, comprising in combination

• a) first cymbals, and second cymbals,
• b) a foot pedal connected to operate the first and second cymbals, in unison or separately,
• c) first and second structures, operatively associated with the respective first and second cymbals, for operatively disconnecting one of the cymbals from operation by the foot pedal while the other of the cymbals remains operatively connected to the foot pedal,
• d) said structures including first and second pivoting elements, the second element releasable to block pivoting of the first element said lever having a first axis of pivoting, (e) said device having a second lever, said second lever having a second axis of pivoting, and said axes are spaced apart and in skewed relation to one an other.
