  • Patent number: 7307204
    Abstract: A drum includes a cylindrical body, a cylindrical head frame, which is fitted to the outer circumference of the body, a hoop located at the outer circumference of a head, lugs located at the outer circumference of the body, lug nuts, and lug bolts. A loosening prevention structure is located between the lower surface of the head of each lug bolt and the upper surface of the hoop. Each loosening prevention structure is formed by a washer with rubber according to a preferred embodiment. The washer with rubber is formed by an annular elastic body and a bowl-shaped cover. The elastic body is made of rubber. The cover includes a cylindrical portion, which covers the outer circumference of the elastic body. The cylindrical portion is formed to be shorter than the elastic body along the axial direction of the body.

  • Publication number: 20060005689
    Abstract: A pedal coupling device includes a body holding frame for holding the body of a bass drum, a base for placement on a supporting surface and coupled to a pedal device, and a bolt, which is a shaft for coupling the base to the body holding frame to be rotatable relative to each other. The base is rotatable between a coupling position at which the base is coupled to the pedal device and a storing position at which the base is located closer to the body. Rotating the base to the storing position when storing or carrying the bass drum enables compact storage of the pedal coupling device. Thus, the pedal coupling device is suitable for storing and carrying the bass drum.
