SUPPORTING STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRONIC PAD OF PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT

摘要

A supporting structure for an electronic pad of a percussion instrument includes a pad member, a pair of a first engaging part and a second engaging part, and a connecting part which connects a first object (e.g. a leg fixed to a stand) and a second object (e.g. the second engaging part) in a rotatable manner about the rotation center. The connecting part includes a rotation-regulating unit which regulates the rotational displacement of the second object within the regulation range irrespective of a rotational torque less than a predetermined value which is applied to the second object disposed at the initial position relative to the first object. Due to a rotational torque above the predetermined value, the rotation-regulating unit shifts the regulation range so as to shift the initial position, and therefore the second object will be restored to the new initial position.

主权项

1. A supporting structure for an electronic pad of a percussion instrument, comprising:
a pad member which is supported by a support member in a rotatable manner about a rotation center and which is subjected to a striking operation; a first engaging part which is arranged independently of the pad member or which is unified with the pad member; a second engaging part which is engaged with the first engaging part, which is arranged independently of the support member or which is unified with the support member, wherein the second engaging part is pressed to rotate about the rotation center via the first engaging part in response to a rotary force applied to the pad member; and a connecting part which establishes at least one of a connection between the pad member and the first engaging part or a connection between the support member and the second engaging part, wherein the connecting part connects a first object and a second object to relatively rotate about the rotation center, wherein the connecting part includes a reaction generator which generates a reactive force against the rotary force by which the second object disposed at an initial position relative to the first object is displaced from the initial position in a rotating direction, and wherein, when the rotary force is released, the connecting part allows the second object to be restored to the initial position, thus disappearing the reactive force generated by the reaction generator.
