Damper device for percussion instruments with skins has damper element on carrier arm pivoted inside drum body into/out of engagement with skin

摘要

The device has a damper part (15) on a carrier (10.1), e.g. an arm, inside a drum (2) etc., and a manual actuator on the outside, to move the damper part into and out of engagement with the skin (3). The carrier arm is held pivoted on a bearing/fitting element (11) fastened inside the drum body. An actuator lever/arm (10.2) on the carrier arm acts with an external actuator part, e.g. a screw (19), to pivot the arm. Carrier and actuator arms are part of an angled lever (10). A return spring (20) acts between actuator arm and bearing element.
