Abstract

Didgeridoo consists of four elongated tubes (1, 2, 3, 4) able to slide inside each other, so that when didgeridoo is not in use, three smallest tubes (1, 2, 3) can slide and be stored within largest tube (4). When in collapsed position, elongated tubes are maintained inside largest tube by two flat tops, one inserted at each end of largest tube. Rubber ring is placed at extremity of smallest tube so as to protect lips of musician when playing. Insert can be placed inside didgeridoo and slide within so as to modify tone of didgeridoo.

Description

       

  



  La présente invention concerne un didjeridoo télescopique. 



  Cet instrument des Aborigènes d'Australie est initialement réalisé en bois d'eucalyptus évidé par des termites. Toutefois, à l'ère de la fibre de carbone dont l'utilisation permet de réduire de façon significative le poids de l'objet pour lequel elle est utilisée, l'idée est venue de réaliser un didjeridoo en fibre de carbone. 



  L'objet de l'invention est donc d'obtenir un instrument de bonne qualité, léger, d'encombrement réduit et permettant d'obtenir diverses tonalités. 



  Ce but est atteint par un didjeridoo télescopique caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un assemblage de tubes coniques agencés pour coulisser les uns dans les autres pour former, lorsqu'ils sont déployés, le didjeridoo désiré ou pour se rétracter afin de se loger dans le tube de plus grand diamètre. 



  La présente invention sera mieux comprise en référence à la description d'une forme de réalisation préférée et en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels: 
 
   La fig. 1 représente le didjeridoo selon l'invention lorsqu'il est déployé, 
   La fig. 2 est une vue du didjeridoo rétracté avec une vue en coupe selon la ligne A-A, 
   La fig. 3 est une vue de détail de la fig. 1, 
   La fig. 4 est une vue de détail des extrémités du didjeridoo selon l'invention, la fig. 5 est une représentation de l'embouchure du didjeridoo, et 
   la fig. 6 est un système d'accordage pour le didjeridoo selon l'invention. 
 



  En référence aux figures, le didjeridoo télescopique représenté se compose de quatre tubes coniques 1 à 4, de même conicité, réalisés en fibre carbone et pouvant s'emboîter les uns dans les autres, l'étanchéité aux jointures, le blocage et la rigidité de l'instrument étant obtenus par serrage et frottement naturel. La fig. 1 représente l'instrument lorsqu'il est totalement déployé et la fig. 2 le même instrument en position rétractée, lorsque les tubes 1 à 3 sont emboîtés les uns dans les autres et dans le tube 4. La fig. 3 illustre plus en détail le coulissement ajusté de deux tubes consécutifs. 



  Lorsque tous les tubes sont logés dans le tube 4, à savoir le tube de plus grand diamètre, les deux extrémités de ce tube sont agencées pour recevoir un bouchon plat 5 réalisé en PVC et destiné au blocage des tubes 1 à 3 pendant la non-utilisation de l'instrument (fig. 4). 



  La fig. 5 illustre en détail l'embouchure de l'instrument qui est formée par un anneau en caoutchouc 6, disposé sur la plus petite extrémité du tube 1, sur lequel l'utilisateur appuie les lèvres pour jouer. Cet anneau évite de se blesser les lèvres et remplace la cire d'abeille utilisée sur les didjeridoos traditionnels. 



  La fig. 6 illustre une variante de réalisation comportant un dispositif d'accordage à coulisse que l'on met à la place d'un des tubes de l'instrument et qui permet d'obtenir diverses tonalités. Ce dispositif d'accordage se fait sous la forme d'un ensemble 7 formé de deux tubes cylindriques sur une partie, coulissant serrés l'un dans l'autre sur une plage assez grande pour obtenir un réglage fin pour chaque tonalité, chacun de ces tubes ayant une extrémité conique de conicité identique au tube qu'il remplace. 



  L'on peut prévoir de nombreuses variantes du didjeridoo télescopique en augmentant ou en diminuant le nombre de tubes coniques pour le rendre plus ou moins compact, ou choisir d'autres tonalités.



  



  The present invention relates to a telescopic didjeridoo.



  This Australian Aborigines instrument is initially made of eucalyptus wood hollowed out by termites. However, in the era of carbon fiber, the use of which makes it possible to significantly reduce the weight of the object for which it is used, the idea came to realize a didjeridoo in carbon fiber.



  The object of the invention is therefore to obtain a good quality instrument, light, of reduced bulk and making it possible to obtain various tones.



  This object is achieved by a telescopic didjeridoo characterized in that it comprises an assembly of conical tubes arranged to slide into one another to form, when deployed, the desired didjeridoo or to retract in order to be housed in the larger diameter tube.



  The present invention will be better understood with reference to the description of a preferred embodiment and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
 
   Fig. 1 represents the didjeridoo according to the invention when it is deployed,
   Fig. 2 is a view of the retracted didjeridoo with a sectional view along the line A-A,
   Fig. 3 is a detailed view of FIG. 1
   Fig. 4 is a detailed view of the ends of the didjeridoo according to the invention, FIG. 5 is a representation of the mouth of the didjeridoo, and
   fig. 6 is a tuning system for the didjeridoo according to the invention.
 



  With reference to the figures, the telescopic didjeridoo represented consists of four conical tubes 1 to 4, of the same conicity, made of carbon fiber and able to fit into each other, the sealing at the joints, the blocking and the rigidity of the instrument being obtained by natural tightening and friction. Fig. 1 shows the instrument when it is fully deployed and FIG. 2 the same instrument in the retracted position, when the tubes 1 to 3 are nested one inside the other and in the tube 4. FIG. 3 illustrates in more detail the adjusted sliding of two consecutive tubes.



  When all the tubes are housed in the tube 4, namely the tube of larger diameter, the two ends of this tube are arranged to receive a flat plug 5 made of PVC and intended for blocking the tubes 1 to 3 during non- use of the instrument (fig. 4).



  Fig. 5 illustrates in detail the mouthpiece of the instrument which is formed by a rubber ring 6, disposed on the smallest end of the tube 1, on which the user presses the lips to play. This ring avoids hurting the lips and replaces the beeswax used on traditional didjeridoos.



  Fig. 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment comprising a sliding tuning device which is put in place of one of the tubes of the instrument and which makes it possible to obtain various tones. This tuning device is in the form of an assembly 7 formed of two cylindrical tubes on one part, sliding tightened one inside the other over a range large enough to obtain a fine adjustment for each tone, each of these tubes having a conical end of conicity identical to the tube which it replaces.



  We can provide many variations of the telescopic didjeridoo by increasing or decreasing the number of conical tubes to make it more or less compact, or choose other tones.
