Abstract

Abstract An improved angle adjustable cymbal clamp mainly comprises an upper clamp sitting on a lower base and a clasping piece with a washer disposed on the upper clamp, wherein the lower base is provided with an oblique contact face formed on its top face and a cymbal rod protruded upwards at its center; a through hole is made in the upper clamp for the cymbal rod of the lower base to penetrate, and an accommodating space is preserved at a lower portion in the upper clamp. Another oblique contact face and a plurality of vertical grooves are disposed in inner wall and in ceiling of the accommodating space respectively, and a projecting piece with a vertical slit is arranged laterally to the upper clamp, wherein a bolt is penetrably locked in the projecting piece. In virtue of abovesaid construction of this invention, change of the angle between the upper clamp and the lower base by turning those two oblique contact faces is possible. Besides, as the screwing direction of the bolt isn't located in the same plane with those two contact faces, and with the favorable frictional grooves and rim of the lower base, the upper clamp is capable of keeping itself in an adjusted angle without turning subsequent to screwing the bolt for locking.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 226 words
An improved angle adjustable cymbal clamp, comprising: an upper clamp; a lower base carrying said upper clamp; and a clasping piece and a washer hitched onto said upper clamp; and wherein: an oblique contact face is formed on said lower base, and a top end tapped cymbal rod protruded upwards is located in center of said lower base; said upper clamp having a through hole in its center for said cymbal rod of the lower base to penetrate is sitting on said lower base; an accommodating space with a downward opening is offered in a lower portion of said upper clamp, and an oblique contact face is formed on ceiling of said accommodating space corresponding to said oblique contact face of said lower base; and a projecting piece having a vertical slit is provided laterally to said upper clamp, also, a traverse tapped hole is formed in said projecting piece for a bolt to get locked penetrably; and by the abovesaid construction of this invention, turning those two said oblique contact faces to change the angle between said upper clamp and said lower base being possible; and as the screwing direction of said bolt located not in the same plane with those two said oblique contact faces, said upper clamp being capable of keeping itself in a fixed angle without turning subsequent to screwing said bolt.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 226 words
An improved angle adjustable cymbal clamp, comprising: an upper clamp; a lower base carrying said upper clamp; and a clasping piece and a washer hitched onto said upper clamp; and wherein: an oblique contact face is formed on said lower base, and a top end tapped cymbal rod protruded upwards is located in center of said lower base; said upper clamp having a through hole in its center for said cymbal rod of the lower base to penetrate is sitting on said lower base; an accommodating space with a downward opening is offered in a lower portion of said upper clamp, and an oblique contact face is formed on ceiling of said accommodating space corresponding to said oblique contact face of said lower base; and a projecting piece having a vertical slit is provided laterally to said upper clamp, also, a traverse tapped hole is formed in said projecting piece for a bolt to get locked penetrably; and by the abovesaid construction of this invention, turning those two said oblique contact faces to change the angle between said upper clamp and said lower base being possible; and as the screwing direction of said bolt located not in the same plane with those two said oblique contact faces, said upper clamp being capable of keeping itself in a fixed angle without turning subsequent to screwing said bolt.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 51 words
The improved angle adjustable cymbal clamp according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of equal-interval vertical groove disposed in the inner wall of said accommodating space at one side opposite to said projecting piece combines with rim of said lower base to enhance frictional force for keeping an adjusted oblique angle.
