Embodiment Construction

[0023] figure 1 The preferred embodiment of the invention shown provides a drum 10 comprised of a drum shell 12, a leather hoop 14, a drum hoop 16 and a drumhead 18 with a striking face 20. As shown in FIG. This embodiment also provides a tension adjusting device 22 with a worm drive 24 for applying a tension adjusting force to adjust the tension of the striking surface 20 . Tensioner 22 is secured to drum 10 by attaching one end 26 to drum hoop 16 at a location 28 and one end 30 to drum shell 12 at a location 32 . The individual tensioning devices 22 are generally positioned and secured equidistantly around the periphery of the drum shell 12 to ensure an even, balanced tensioning of the drumhead 18.

[0024] The tensioning device 22 is made up of various components, including an elongated band trim 34, a relatively short band trim 36 with a plurality of transverse slot-like openings 38 for connecting two A trim, also includes a t-shaped coupling element 35 defined at the en...

Abstract

In combination with a drum, which includes a drumshell, a flesh hoop, a counter-hoop and a drumhead with a drumming surface, a device for tensioning a drumhead that eliminates protruding and awkwardly designed components and protects against the associated physical discomfort to the musician which interferes with the enjoyment of playing the instrument and the musician's playing technique. The tensioning device includes a conventional mechanical worm-drive mechanism for applying a tensioning force substantially perpendicular to the drumming surface toward the flesh hoop to the counter-hoop to increase the tension of the drumming surface. One end of the tensioning device is affixed securely to the drumshell and the other end of the device is tightly attached to the counter-hoop. The tensioning device is also comprised of two or more generally flat, ribbon-like bands disposed in a low-profile fashion about the perimeter of the shell. A series of spaced apart parallel slots are disposed along sections of at least one of the bands to engage components in the worm-drive to enable the adjustment of the tension in the drumming surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of musical instruments. More particularly, the present invention is directed to drums for certain musical instruments, and a device for tensioning the drumhead that effectively removes snags and associated discomfort that often interferes with playing technique and performance Musical instruments for fun. Background technique [0002] There are many different devices for tensioning and adjusting drumheads. Some versions of the device consist of a claw-like device that grips the drum hoop, attached to a sort of adjustment rod that, depending on the direction the rod is rotated, reduces or increases the tension on the drumhead. Traditional head screw knobs combined with adjustment rods are also used for the same purpose. Another type of adjustment mechanism is a modified version of these two devices. It consists of a v-shaped bracket that attaches to the drum hoop, and an adjustment rod with a hook...
