DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following discussion is presented to enable a person skilled in the art to make and use the present teachings. Various modifications to the illustrated aspects will be clear to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles herein may be applied to other aspects and applications without departing from the present teachings. Thus, the present teachings are not intended to be limited to aspects shown but are to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein. The following detailed description is to be read with reference to the figures, in which like elements in different figures have like reference numerals. The figures, which are not necessarily to scale, depict selected aspects and are not intended to limit the scope of the present teachings. Skilled artisans will recognize the examples provided herein have many useful alternatives and fall within the scope of the present teachings. While aspects of the present invention are discussed in terms of drumming thrones, it is fully contemplated aspects of the present invention could be used in most any musical seat without departing from the spirit of the invention.


With reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, a drumming throne 100 having air 102 flowing through it to keep a drummer dry and free of sweat buildup during drumming sessions is shown. Drumming throne 100 provides ventilation to the seat base 6 during drumming sessions. The seat base 6 is the platform for mounting all hardware above and below the seat base 6.


Many times, during long drumming sessions sweat can build up and cause very uncomfortable conditions for the drummer. By moving air 102 at a constant velocity through the seat base 6 it mitigates the buildup of sweat and allows the drummer to remain dry and much more comfortable throughout the drumming session. Airflow 102 can be seen being brought in by blower 2 through blower intake 110. Blower 2 then moves the airflow 102 through blower exhaust 112 and into air plenum 23. From here airflow 102 moves into airflow channels 104 within seat foam 24 traversing upward towards seat cover 25 and thus to the gluteus maximus/back/legs of a user/drummer. This action supplies cooler air and/or a flow of air which can cool and/or wick away any sweat buildup on a drummer. The wicking away of the sweat helps keep the drummer cooler, less sticky and overall more comfortable during their performance sessions.


In one aspect lower leg brace 43 is coupled to upper leg brace 48 near the middle of upper leg brace 48. In other aspects drumming throne 100 has a lower leg brace 43 coupled to upper leg brace 48 near seat foot 44, thus creating a right triangle to provide proper weight distribution and stability for a drummer as shown by FIG. 6. Lower leg brace 43 couples to a lower portion of spring-retention cylinder 114 and keeps upper leg brace 48 from extending outward indefinitely. The upper leg brace 48 is coupled to the upper portion of spring-retention cylinder 116 near the spring retention cylinder 38. For the purposes of the discussion of the current aspect of the present invention, coupling could occur in most any fashion to those well versed in the state of the art. Coupling could occur through a nut-and-bolt assembly, rivets, post and cotter-pin assemblies, dowels, etc. without departing from the spirit of the invention.


Drumming throne 100 may have an adjustable seat base height which may be activated by a gas-charged spring 108 (FIG. 6) activated by lift handle 9. A gas spring is a type of spring, unlike a typical mechanical spring relying on elastic deformation, uses compressed gas contained within an enclosed cylinder sealed by a sliding piston to pneumatically store potential energy and withstand external force applied parallel to the direction of the piston shaft. Common applications include office chairs. The drummer would sit on drumming throne 100 and then pull up on lift handle 9 to lower drumming throne 100. The drummer could also remove their weight off drumming throne 100 and lift handle 9 once again to cause drumming throne 100 to raise.
