Cymbal Sleeve Views
I am not sure of the price of replacement sleeves, but I wasn't close to a music store when I remembered I needed some so I stopped at a hardware store and purchased 1 foot of plastic line. I had a worn sleeve with me for the inner diameter. But the tube I got was 3 times as thick and last alot longer protecting my cymbals from keyholes. total cost 67 cents. I am not sure but I think thats cheaper and longer lasting then some I could have gotten from a music store.
The above objectives are accomplished according to the present invention by providing a cymbal sleeve having a top portion with a bottom portion joined along a portion of its perimeter to the corresponding perimeter of the top portion forming a pocket. A mouth is formed by the unjoined portion of the perimeters of the top and bottom portions for receiving a cymbal. The top portion having a top post opening generally located within the center of the top portion and the bottom portion having a bottom post opening generally located within the center of the bottom portion. The top post opening and bottom post opening are aligned with the cymbal opening for allowing the post of a cymbal case or cymbal stand to be received through the bottom portion, cymbal, and top portion for securing the cymbal and protective cymbal sleeve in the cymbal case or on a cymbal stand.
Additionally, the cymbal sleeve may contain closure means, such as Velcro®, disposed along the interior edge of the top and bottom portions near the mouth for closing the mouth. The closure means can have a locking member and an anchor member. The anchor member being carried by the top portion and the locking member being carried by the bottom portion so that when the locking member and the anchor member are engaged, the top portion is secured to the bottom portion, thereby closing the mouth for providing a securely closed cymbal sleeve for holding cymbals.
Alternatively, the cymbal sleeve may contain a closure flap carried by one of the portions disposed near the mouth. The closure flap being foldable over the other portion for closing the mouth. The closure flap has a secured end and a free end wherein the secured end is carried by the bottom portion. The closure flap uses a securing strip having a locking member and an anchor member. The anchor member being carried by the top portion and the locking member carried by the free end of the closure flap, so that when the locking member and the anchor member are engaged, the closure flap is secured to the top portion providing a securely closed cymbal sleeve for holding cymbals.
