DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, there is shown a clipping device to be mounted onto the counterhoop of a drum. The drum 10 is a mounting framework and the counterhoop of the drum 10 is in combination with a C-shaped clipping body 11. The bottom section of the C-shaped body is a pivotal hole for pivoting of a pivot shaft 12 to an actuating board 13. The middle section of the actuating board is pivoted to a screw rod 14 of a locking device for adjustment, and the screw rod 14 is mounted with an elastic element 15 and is protruded out to the clipping body 11. The end of the external side of the actuating board 13 is pivotally mounted with an actuating plate 16, and the top face of the V-shaped actuating plate 16 is wider and has a rough or coarse surface, and a soft pad 161 can be adhered, facilitating the movement of the pivot such that the wider face can secure the clipping device to the counterhoop of the drum. This mounting of the clipping device will not damage the counterhoop. The adjustment of the locking of the screw rod 14 causes the board 13 to move and this will simultaneously activate the actuating plate 16 to swing with an angle, and therefore the clipping device is secured to the counterhoop. The C-shaped top edge of the body 11 is a securing seat 17 having a V-shaped slot, and the top section of the seat body is a binding cap 18 in combination with the locking rod 19 to secure tight mounting and to facilitate musical devices to be mounted onto the rod 20 for disposing at the securing seat 17, and to allow mounting of various musical devices 21.
In accordance with the present invention, the drum 10 is placed horizontally and the actuating board 13 is locked by means of the screw rod 14 on the body 11, such that the actuating plate 16 is mounted at the counterhoop of the drum. The soft pad prevents the damaging of the counterhoop. The large counterhoop of the drum allows the clipping device 10 to be secured at any appropriate position, and the easy mounting of the C-shaped rod 20 provides a convenience for the holding of small musical devices.
While the invention has been described with respect to preferred embodiments, it will be clear to those skilled in the art that modifications and improvements may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited by the specific illustrative embodiment, but only by the scope of the appended claims.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
