A supporter () attaches a kick pad to be beaten with a beater to a stand installed on a floor surface. The supporter () includes an elastic member () that fixes the kick pad to one end as viewed in a direction intersecting with a direction in which the kick pad is beaten with the beater, and that fixes the other end as viewed in the intersecting direction to the stand.

Supporter for kick pad

A supporting apparatus () for a kick pad () includes a supporting frame () that supports a kick pad () including a piezoelectric element that converts a vibration generated by beating with a beater into an electric signal and outputs the electric signal, and a fixation frame () that fixes the supporting apparatus () to an inner surface of a shell of a bass drum while a striking surface () of the kick pad () is arranged in a position beaten by the beater.

Supporting apparatus for kick pad

A kick pad includes a piezoelectric element () that converts a vibration generated by beating with a beater into an electric signal and outputs the electric signal, an impact-absorbing member () arranged between the piezoelectric element () and a surface () to be beaten by the beater, and a sheet-like striking surface cover () that includes a front surface including the surface () to be beaten, and that wraps the impact-absorbing member (), together with the piezoelectric element (), on a back surface side of the striking surface cover ().

Kick pad

A carrier bar is provided, capable of enabling suitable assembly work of the stay and improving freedom in adjustment of stay assembly position relative to carrier bar, disclosed is a carrier bar having shell formed along longitudinal direction and hollow zones in cross-sectional structure so as to be assembled to stay by using a clamp mechanism having a head and a constricted portion to form a base carrier. Shell has assembly and positioning openings extending toward the longitudinal end of shell by using assembly opening as a basal end and having a terminated end formed by longitudinal end of shell. Assembly opening has an opening width and an opening length into which the head of clamp mechanism is insertable. Positioning opening has an opening width narrower than that of assembly opening, along which the constricted portion is slidable, and an opening length longer than that of assembly opening.

Carrier bar and carrier bar assembly structure

A strainer is provided for a snare drum having a bottom drumhead. The strainer includes a snare assembly including a snare carrier and a plurality of snares coupled therewith. A throw-side component includes a bracket member releasably mounted to the snare drum and a slide member moveable relative to the bracket member and engaging the snare carrier. The slide member includes a slider handle fixed thereto and a locking toggle such that when the strainer is coupled to the snare drum, manual movement of the slider handle causes the snares to move toward the bottom drumhead, with the locking toggle being constructed and arranged to be 1) moved to a first, locking position engaging the bracket member so as to lock the slide member to the bracket member, and 2) moved to a second, release position releasing the slide member from engagement with the bracket member.

In recording of information, an information beam as S-polarization is incident on an optical information recording medium. After passing through the optical information recording medium, the information beam is reflected by reflection apparatus and passes through a polarization controller. In this process, the information beam undergoes S-polarization control and the polarization direction changes to P-polarization direction. The information beam interferes with a recording reference beam as P-polarization incident on a surface of the optical information recording medium inside the optical information recording medium to form an interference pattern. In reproduction of information, a reproduction reference beam is incident on the surface of the optical information recording medium. The reproduction reference beam is then diffracted by a refractive index grating caused by an interference pattern formed in the optical information recording medium to form a reproduction beam. The reproduction beam is emitted from the surface of the optical information recording medium and is incident on a light receiving element. The original data is then reproduced.

In this invention, wireless video telephone communication between mobile telephones MSand MSusing the MPEG-2 standard is performed when the reception field strength falls below a threshold value of H continuously for a specific period of Tor longer in the course of receiving the data at one mobile telephone MS, the telephone MSmonitors the restoration of the reception field strength. After detecting the restoration, mobile telephone MStransmits a request for the transmission of an I frame to mobile telephone MS. Upon receipt of the request, mobile telephone MScreates an I frame in place of a P frame and transmits the I frame.
