Abstract
A cable-driven beater mechanism for a percussion instrument has a base, a transmission shaft pivotally mounted on the base, a beater connected to the transmission shaft, a cable transmission assembly, a restoring spring and a cable. An elongated guiding slot is formed in the standing plate. The cable transmission assembly is pivotally mounted on the base and protrudes into the guiding slot. The cable and the transmission shaft are connected via the cable transmission assembly. Pulling force from a player is transferred via the cable to pivot the transmission shaft and the beater. The restoring spring returns the transmission shaft and the beater to an original position. The cable moves along a straight line during operation to reduce rubbing and repeated bending of the cable, which prolongs service life of the cable, reduces noise during operation, and allows the beater to respond more swiftly to the pulling force.
