Abstract

A cymbal stand is taught comprising upper and lower tubular members in adjustable telescoping relationship. A pedal frame is affixed to the bottom end of the lower tubular member. The rearward end of a foot pedal is pivotally connected by a pair of arms to the pedal frame. The forward end of the foot pedal is pivotally attached directly to an actuating rod assembly extending upwardly through the pedal frame and the upper and lower tubular members. The pivotal attachments of the foot pedal arms to the pedal bracket and the forward end of the pedal to the rod assembly are coaxial, so that the pedal is swingable beneath the pedal frame between an operating position to one side of the pedal frame and a stowed position alongside the pedal frame and the lower tubular member on the other side of the pedal frame. The structure is provided with a set of pivotally attached legs terminating in footed free end. The footed free ends are swingable between a downwardly extending supporting position and an upwardly extending stowed position alongside the lower tubular member. The upper end of the upper tubular member supports an improved lower cymbal mounting and tilting assembly. An improved attachment assembly mounts the upper cymbal to the upper end of the actuating rod assembly above the lower cymbal.
