ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to cymbal stands, more particularly, it relates to a coupling device that permits a cymbal stand to clamp more angle-adjustable cymbals.
A conventional cymbal stand shown in
FIG. 1
usually has an adjustable clamping seat at its center rod for holding and adjusting a cymbal.
However, a mono-tuned single cymbal is somewhat inadequate in a band for expressing different timbres, hence, a drummer is always found busy in locating a plurality of cymbals hung on cymbal stands disorderly surrounding drums to make his performance a complicated sweat.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of this invention is to provide a coupling device that allows a cymbal stand to accept more angle-adjustable cymbals.
Another object of this invention is to provide a coupling device that can fit in with a generic cymbal stand for replacement and for multi-directional adjustment.
For realizing abovesaid objects, the coupling device of this invention mainly comprises a multi-directional adjuster with one end clamped at a first center rod and the other at a connection kit, wherein the adjuster further comprises a fixed and a movable clamping block disposed at each end of a main body; a cross slot and a clamping stud arranged at an outer end of the movable clamping block; and a head ferrule formed at the clamping stud. The connection kit further contains a coupling at one end and a connecting sleeve at the other, wherein one end of the coupling is a sleeve fixed with two opposite bolts, and the coupling is connected to the multi-directional adjuster via the clamping stud; a thread portion is formed at one end inside the connecting sleeve which is locked with two locking bolts while the other end of the connecting sleeve is extended to form a connecting rod whereto a limitation piece and two cotton washers are female-jointed externally for locking a cymbal and whereon two parallel faces are formed to be plugged in the sleeve of the coupling to facilitate tight locking of two locking bolts.
For more detailed information regarding this invention together with further advantages or features thereof, at least an example of preferred embodiment will be elucidated below with reference to the annexed drawings.
