PEDAL APPARATUS FOR PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT

摘要

Disclosed is a percussion instrument pedal apparatus where a transmission mechanism is connectable to a foot board without use of an engaging member projecting from the reverse side of the foot board. The pedal apparatus includes: a foot board; a beater mounted on a pivot shaft and capable of striking a bass drum in response to pivoting of the pivot shaft; a chain member having a pivot-shaft connected section provided on one end thereof to transmit pivoting force to the pivot shaft; and a connection member pivotably mounted at one end to the distal end of the foot board and connected at the other end to the chain member, the connection member transmitting, to the chain member, pivoting force responsive to depression of the foot board.;The pivoting force transmitted to the chain member is then transmitted from the chain member to the pivot shaft.
