Abstract:
1. A device configured to measure a displacement of an electronic cymbal set of an electronic hi-hat, comprising: a base unit having a base, a sliding neck and a plurality of sliding guide posts, the sliding neck protruding from a central portion of primary side of the base along a vertical axis of the device and having a through-hole that traverses through the sliding neck along the vertical axis of the device, the sliding guide posts disposed along a periphery of the primary side of the base and protruding from the primary side of the base along the vertical axis of the device, each of the sliding guide posts having a groove extending along the vertical axis of the device and facing the sliding neck; an elastic element disposed on the primary side of the base of the base unit and encircles the sliding neck of the base unit; a sliding seat having a through-hole configured to allow the sliding seat to encircle the sliding neck of the base such that the sliding seat slides along the sliding neck of the base unit in response to a balance between forces from the elastic element and the electronic cymbal set of the electronic hi-hat; a plurality of sliding elastic elements disposed around a side surface of the sliding seat; and at least one displacement detection unit each of which disposed in the groove of a respective one of the sliding guideposts of the base unit such that, in response to the sliding seat sliding along the sliding neck of the base unit, each of the sliding elastic elements movably contacts a contact surface of a respective one of the at least one displacement detection unit to cause variation in an electrical parameter of the respective displacement detection unit, the variation in the electrical parameter representative of a displacement of the electronic cymbal set.
