ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a hi-hat cymbal and particularly a hi-hat cymbal that may form a dual-foot or tripod cymbal stand and which may be swiveled to left or right side for use.
Hi-hat cymbal and drums are important musical instruments in concerts and almost all kinds of musical performance occasions.
FIG. 1
shows a conventional hi-hat cymbal which has a foot stand
1
equipped with a center strut
3
to support two cymbals
2
at the top end and a foot pedal
4
at the bottom. Stepping the foot pedal
4
, the two cymbals
2
may be actuated to hit against each other for producing sound desired. The foot stand
1
is supported by three feet
5
which are extended around a circular perimeter to securely hold the cymbal on the floor.
The hi-hat cymbal usually has to couple with drum set at the performance sites, and it takes relatively large floor space. When performance sites are outdoors on grass field or with no even ground surface, the three feet
5
cannot stand steadily.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of this invention to provide a movable foot which is pivotally engaged with a base and the foot stand, and may be folded for storing and extended for use such that the supporting feet may be changed to suit various configurations and sites for supporting the hi-hat cymbal stand steadily, and may free more space for coupling with other musical instruments (such as double pedal, drums or the like) when in use.
Another object of this invention is to provide a movable foot pivotally engaged with a base and foot stand that may be folded for storing and extended for use whereby to couple with the drum set closely to save space.
A further object of this invention is to provide a movable foot that may be swiveled to left or right side for left-handed drummer to use comfortably.
In order to achieve aforesaid objects, this invention includes a base and a movable foot pivotally engaged with the base and a foot stand. The base has two sides each has a protrusive stub formed thereon. The movable foot has one end pivotally engaged with a tube sleeve and another end pivotally engaged with the stub through a linkage means such that the movable foot and stub may form a relative connection with a movable angle.
