An extension connector has a threaded end formed on a first end of the extension connector for connection with a threaded hole of a receptacle and a threaded hole adapted for connection with a threaded end of a ball linkage such that an angle adjustable cymbal stand is able to extend to any position for connection with a cymbal.
A pedal operated cymbal stand includes a foot pedal, a first post, a connection bar, a second post and two spherical joints. The first post is located above the foot pedal. The first post and one end of the connection bar are connected through one spherical joint. The other end of the connection bar and the second post are connected through other spherical joint. The second post holds a pair of cymbals. The spherical joints provide degree of freedom for rotation so that drummers can change the angle of elevation and position of the cymbals to meet individual habits and requirements of different drummers.
A holding device with composite washer assemblies for a cymbal has a stand rod, an adjusting rod, an inner fastener, an outer fastener, an inner composite washer assembly and an outer composite washer assembly. The adjusting rod is mounted pivotally on the stand rod. The inner and outer fasteners are mounted securely on the adjusting rod. The inner and outer composite washer assemblies are mounted around the adjusting rod and are mounted between the inner and outer fasteners. The cymbal is mounted around the adjusting rod and is clamped between the inner and outer composite washer assemblies. Each composite washer assembly has a rubber washer, a felt washer and a silica gel washer to provide a moderate sound.
A holding device for a musical instrument stand has a lower retainer, a turning retainer, an upper retainer, a pivotal pin, a first screw member and a second screw member, and provide a capability of adjustable in length and at angle and retractable to the musical instrument stand.
A variable angle standoff in accordance with an implementation of the present invention includes one or more bearing interfaces, which, in concert with other beveled components (e.g., beveled rings), fastens about a wide range of panel and/or object dimensions. In one implementation, a threaded fastener is inserted through a first bearing interface, which interfaces with a first beveled ring. The threaded fastener further threads through one or more panel and/or object eyelets, through a second beveled ring, through a second bearing interface, and ultimately into a standoff shaft. Despite relatively tight fastening of the threaded fastener to the standoff shaft, the first and second beveled rings can accommodate object curvature by rotating in any of an X, Y, and/or Z dimension, as needed.
