Abstract: The disclosure concerns a support and stop for the upper cymbal of a high-hat cymbal. The upper cymbal is supported on a longitudinally movable supporting rod. There is a bolt with an upper holding nut threadedly secured above it and a lower holding nut threadedly secured beneath it. The upper and lower holding nuts have respective upper and lower terminal openings passing through them which have internal diameters approximating the diameter of the supporting rod and being smaller than the internal diameter of the bolt. A clamping screw passes through the upper holding nut, pressing the supporting rod against the internal walls of the upper and lower terminal openings, canting the rod in the terminal openings for locking the supporting rod to the support. The cymbal passes through a felt ring which is secured to the exterior of the bolt by the lower holding nut below and by a locking nut above, which locking nut is beneath the upper holding nut.

Abstract: A high-hat cymbal stand is disclosed. The upper starting position of the pivotable pedal for operating the cymbals into contact, is adjustable. The tension spring for returning the pedal to its upper position is in a container which is clampable to the stand at selected vertical heights. The pedal is raised until it contacts the bottom of the adjustable spring container, whereby the height of the start position of the pedal is adjustable. Independently, the tension of the spring in the spring container is adjustable. The spring container is located next to and parallel to the rod connecting the movable cymbal to the pedal.
