  • Patent number: 8330030
    Abstract: The body of drum includes an outer body, an inner body, and two positioning loops. The outer and the inner bodies are both hollow rings but are made of different materials. Each positioning loop has a first face and an opposite second face. A convex rib protrudes on the center of the width of the first face and partitions the first face of the positioning loop to a ring-shaped inner fringe and a ring-shaped outer fringe. The fringes of the two opposite ends of the outer body are disposed on the two outer fringes respectively, and the fringes of the two opposite ends of the inner body are disposed on the two inner fringes respectively. The convex rib is located between the outer and the inner bodies. Thus, the timbre can be changed by making different combinations of the inner and the outer bodies.

  • Patent number: 7560633
    Abstract: An adjustment stand includes a first block and a second block which are pivotably connected at two respective top ends thereof and an urging member is engaged with the second block by a bolt which extends through the two blocks and is connected with a nut. A transverse hole is defined transversely between the first and second blocks and a shaft extends through the transverse hole. A connection rod extends through the shaft and is connected to a percussion instrument. The first block has an insertion hole and a support rod is inserted into the insertion hole. A side hole is defined in the first block and communicates with the insertion hole. The urging member includes a semi-circular recess which is in contact with the support rod via the side hole. By loosening the bolt, the shaft and the first block can be pivoted about two perpendicular axes.
