EDUARD SEIFERT in COLN-MANNSFELD. Melodieverstärkungskoppel für Orgeln u. dgl. EDUARD SEIFERT in COLN-MANNSFELD. Melody reinforcement coupling for organs and the like.

Patentiert im Deutschen Reiche vom 7. Februar 1902 ab.Patented in the German Empire on February 7, 1902.

Vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Melodiekoppel für Orgeln und orgelartige Instrumente,; wie Harmoniums u. dgl·., durch welche es ermöglicht werden soll, gegenüber den übrigen gespielten Tönen die Melodie durch Ankoppeln desselben Tones in einer anderen Oktave ein und desselben Manuals oder Pedals, oder aber in der gleichen oder einer anderen Oktave eines anderen Manuals oder Pedals zu verstärken und besonders hervorzuheben.The present invention relates to a melody coupler for organs and organ-like instruments; like harmoniums and the like, through which it should be made possible, compared to the rest played notes the melody by coupling the same note in a different octave and the same manual or pedal, or in the same or a different octave another manual or pedal and emphasize it.

Bisher kannte man nur Koppeln, durch welche entweder für sämtliche überhaupt angeschlagenen Töne die entsprechenden ange-. koppelten Töne mitklangen, also die Melodie nicht hervorgehoben wurde oder bei denen zwar lediglich mit dem Melodieton ein entsprechender angekoppelter Ton zum Erklingen kam, dies jedoch nie in demselben Manual oder Pedal, sondern stets in einem anderen, so daßSo far one only knew paddocks, through which either for everyone posted at all Sounds the corresponding. coupled tones, i.e. the melody was not highlighted or where only the melody sound was a corresponding one coupled tone came to sound, but never in the same manual or Pedal, but always in another, so that

ao eine bloße Tonverstärkung ohne Änderung der Klangfarbe nicht möglich war. Auch ließ sich diese Einrichtung demzufolge bei allen kleineren Instrumenten, welche nur ein einziges Manual haben,· nicht anwenden, hierbei also die gewünschte Melodieverstärkung nicht erzielen; Dabei arbeitet die letzterwähnte Koppel in der Weise, daß erst im Augenblick des Anschlags der jedesmal höchste (oder tiefste). Ton mit dem entsprechenden zugehörigen Ton des anderen Manuals gekoppelt wird.ao a mere tone amplification without changing the timbre was not possible. Also let This device therefore applies to all smaller instruments, which are only one Have manual, · do not use, so do not achieve the desired melody amplification; The last-mentioned coupling works in such a way that only at the moment of the attack the highest (or lowest) each time. Tone with the corresponding associated tone of the linked to other manuals.

Die vorliegende Erfindung, löst demgegenüber eine ganz neue Aufgabe, indem sie vor allen Dingen ein bloßes Verstärken des Melodietons ohne KlangfarbenSnderung anstrebt und erzielt und auch in ein und demselben Manual einen entsprechenden Ton mit dem Melodieton zusammen erklingen läßt, also die Melodieverstärkung auch bei den kleinen Orgeln mit nur einem Manual ermöglicht, und zwar in folgender, ebenfalls neuer Weise. Jeder Ton eines Manuals oder Pedals ist mit dem gleichen, ihm entsprechenden Ton desselben Manuals oder Pedals einer höher oder tiefer liegenden Oktave oder derselben oder einer anderen Oktave irgend eines anderen Manuals oder Pedals stets und ein für allemal in solcher Weise gekoppelt, daß der letztere (angekoppelte Ton) beim Schlagen des ersteren (gespielter oder Hauptton) mitklingen kann, wobei jedoch gleichzeitig- eine solche Einrichtung getroffen ist, daß dieses Mitklingen ₍des angekoppelten (Neben-). Tones mit dem angeschlagenen (Hauptton) dann, wenn mehrere Töne gleichzeitig angeschlagen werden, also beim Spielen von Akkorden usw., nur für den die Melodie führenden,-d. h. in der Regel für den höchsten (bei Baßmelodien auch etwa für den tiefsten) der angeschlagenen Töne tatsächlich stattfinden kann, also dieser Ton und damit eben die durch denselben gegebene Melodie wirklich durch Verstärkung hervorgehoben wird, während jedesmal für alle unter (oder über) dem melodieführenden (höchsten oder niedrigsten) angeschlagenen Ton liegenden Töne im Augenblick des Anschlags entweder die Verkopplung ganz aufgehoben oder aber in geeigneter Weise gehemmt oder unterbrochen wird, so daß sie für diese sämtlichen übrigen Töne außer demThe present invention, on the other hand, solves a completely new problem in that it strives for and achieves, above all, a mere amplification of the melody tone without changing the timbre and also lets a corresponding tone sound with the melody tone in one and the same manual, i.e. the melody amplification even with the small ones Organ with only one manual made possible in the following, also new way. Every tone of a manual or pedal is always and once and for all linked to the same, corresponding tone of the same manual or pedal of a higher or lower octave or the same or a different octave of any other manual or pedal in such a way that the latter ( coupled tone) can be heard when the former (played or main tone) is struck, but at the same time such a device is made that this co-sounding _(of the coupled (secondary) tone with the struck (main tone) when several tones are struck at the same time when playing chords, etc., can only actually take place for the one leading the melody, i.e. usually for the highest (with bass melodies also for the lowest) of the notes struck, i.e. this tone and thus the tone through it given melody is really emphasized by amplification, while each time for all below (or above) the melody leading (max most or lowest) struck tone lying tones at the moment of attack either the coupling is completely canceled or is inhibited or interrupted in a suitable manner, so that it is for these all other tones besides the

die Melodie führenden nicht wirken kann, solange der letztere angeschlagen bleibt. Sobald aber dieser losgelassen wird und verstummt, ist wieder der nächstfolgende als melodieführender, also höchster (oder niedrigster) angeschlagene Ton des ganzen Tonakkords wirksam gekoppelt und wird durch Mitklingen des angekuppelten Tones hervorgehoben.the leading melody cannot work as long as the latter remains struck. As soon but this one is let go and falls silent, is again the next one as the leading melody, thus the highest (or lowest) struck note of the entire tone chord effective coupled and is emphasized by the sounding of the coupled tone.

Eine derartige Einrichtung läßt sich nun inSuch a device can now be found in

ίο verschiedenen Ausführungen bei Orgeln mit mechanischem Betrieb sowohl wie auch bei solchen mit Betrieb durch Luftdruck, sogen, pneumatischen Orgeln, herstellen. Auf beiliegender Zeichnung ist als Ausführungsbeispiel eine geeignete Einrichtung für Orgeln mit pneumatischer Traktur dargestellt, und zwar zeigt Fig. ι einen Querschnitt nach Linie A-B-C-D-F des Grundrisses (Fig. 3), Fig. 2 teilweise einen Längsschnitt, zum Teil nach G-H, zum Teil nach I-K der Fig. 1 und teilweiser Seitenansicht, während Fig. 3 den Grundriß, teilweise bei einem wagerechten Schnitt nach L-M, teilweise bei einem solchen nach N-O der Fig. 1 und teilweise in Ansicht von oben zeigt.ίο produce different versions of organs with mechanical operation as well as those with operation by air pressure, so-called pneumatic organs. The accompanying drawing shows a suitable device for organs with a pneumatic action as an embodiment, namely Fig. 1 shows a cross section along the line ABCDF of the plan (Fig. 3), Fig. 2 partly a longitudinal section, partly according to GH, partly according to IK of FIG. 1 and a partial side view, while FIG. 3 shows the plan, partly with a horizontal section according to LM, partly with one according to NE of FIG. 1 and partly in a view from above.

Wie die Zeichnung zeigt, wird die gestellte Aufgabe bei pneumatischen Orgeln dadurch gelöst, daß dem Wind auf seinem Wege vom Relais zur Taste in Richtung der in Fig. 1 eingezeichneten Pfeile, außer dem gewöhnlichen Wege durch die gerade Leitung α noch ein zweiter Weg durch eine Art Umleitung zwischen den beiden Rohrleisten b c, gebildet durch die schrägen, geknieten, oberhalb α miteinander in Verbindung stehenden Rohre de, geboten ist, wovon d in der Rohrleiste b aus derjenigen Leitung α abzweigt, welche zu dem eine Oktave höher (oder tiefer) oder in einem anderen Manual oder Pedal liegenden Ton gehört, der mit dem angeschlagenen Ton verkoppelt werden soll, in dessen Hauptleitung α das zugehörige Rohr e in der Rohrleiste c einmündet, während die Verbindung zwischen d und e durch einen Ventilkasten f hindurch erfolgt, der so eingerichtet ist, daß an seinem oberen Ende für gewöhnlich bei sämtlichen Tönen je die zusammengehörigen Rohre d e in offener Verbindung miteinander stehen und diese Verbindung auch beim Spielen für den jeweilig angeschlagenen höchsten (oder tiefsten) und alle darüber (oder darunter) liegenden Töne offen bleibt, für alle unter dem höchstangeschlagenen (oder über dem tiefstangeschlagenen) liegenden Töne dagegen von dem angeschlagenen Ton aus selbsttätig durch Luftdruck mittels Öffnens oder Schließens entsprechend angeordneter Ventile unterbrochen wird, so daß hier nunmehr, auch bei dem angeschlagenen und dadurch die Bewegung der Luft durch die zugehörigen Hauptleitungen α und das Erklingen des Haupttones ermöglichenden Tasten, die Luftbewegung durch die Umleitung d e und damit das Erklingen des an diese angeschlossenen, mit dem Hauplton gekoppelten (Neben-) Tones unmöglich gemacht ist.As the drawing shows, the stated object is solved in pneumatic organs in that the wind on its way from the relay to the button toward the drawn in Fig. 1, arrows, except for the usual way by the straight line α, a second path through a Type of diversion between the two pipe strips bc, formed by the inclined, kneeling pipes de connected to one another above α , is required, of which d branches off in the pipe strip b from that line α which is one octave higher (or lower) or heard in another manual or pedal lying tone, which is to be coupled with the struck tone, in whose main line α the associated pipe e opens into the pipe bar c , while the connection between d and e takes place through a valve box f , which is set up in this way is that communicate with each other at its upper end normally in all tones per the matching tubes de in open communication and this Connection remains open even when playing for the respective highest (or lowest) and all notes above (or below), for all notes below the highest (or above the lowest), on the other hand, automatically from the played note by means of air pressure by opening or Closing correspondingly arranged valves is interrupted, so that here now, even when the keys are struck and thereby enable the movement of the air through the associated main lines α and the sounding of the main tone, the air movement through the diversion de and thus the sounding of the connected to them, (secondary) tones coupled with the main tone is made impossible.

Die Zeichnung zeigt nun als Verbindung zwischen den die Umleitung für die anzukoppelnden Töne bildenden Röhren d e einen eigenartig eingerichteten Ventilkasten /, durch dessen Einrichtung die Umleitung für alle unter (oder über) dem Melodieton liegenden Töne, für die also beim Spielen der angekoppelte Ton nicht mitklingen soll, beim Anschlagen des Melodietones selbsttätig infolge der Führung des bei der Taste seinen Abzug nehmenden Windes durch die zu diesem letzteren Ton gehörende Umleitung unterbrochen wird, so daß für alle außer dem Melodieton angeschlagenen Töne, obwohl die Windaustrittsöffnung an der Taste geöffnet ist, doch keine Windbewegung durch die Umleitung d e, sondern lediglich durch die entsprechende gerade Hauptleitung a stattfinden kann.The drawing now shows as a connection between the tubes forming the diversion for the tones to be coupled de a peculiarly furnished valve box /, by means of which the diversion for all tones lying below (or above) the melody tone, i.e. for which the coupled tone does not sound when playing is to be automatically interrupted when the melody tone is struck as a result of the guidance of the wind taking its deduction from the key by the diversion associated with this latter tone, so that none of the tones struck except the melody tone, although the wind outlet opening on the key is open Wind movement through the diversion de, but only through the corresponding straight main line a can take place.

Diese Einrichtung und ihre Wirkungsweise besteht in folgendem:This facility and its mode of operation consists of the following:

In dem Kasten/ mündet jedes der von der hinteren Rohrleiste b aufsteigenden Umleitungsrohre d, welche den Wind in den Ventilkasten f einführen können, in einer Kniebohrung g mit nach unten gekehrter Mündung go über einer unteren Ventilkammer h, welche jedoch oben unterhalb der Kniebohrung g durch ein ringsum am Rande dicht anschließendes Membranventil i abgeschlossen ist. Ebenfalls über letzterem mündet mit der Offnung nach unten eine zweite, entgegengesetzt wie g gekehrte Kniebohrung k, an der Mündungsstelle von g nur durch eine stehende Scheidewand / getrennt, derart, daß, wenn die Membran i etwa durch unten in der Kammer h entstehenden Überdruck gehoben und gegen Z angedrückt wird, die Verbindung der Luft von g nach k, welche für gewöhnlich bei nach unten durchhängender Membran i, wie in Fig. 1 gezeichnet, um / herum stattfindet, unterbrochen ist. Die Bohrung k führt nun mit ihrem anderen Ende in eine ebenfalls oben im Ventilkasten f angeordnete Kammer m, von welcher aus das den anderen Teil der Umleitung bildende Rohr e abwärts geht, zu der vorderen Rohrleiste c, bei welcher es wieder in das zugehörige Hauptrohr α einmündet. Die Ventilkammer h, die Kniebogen g und k mit der Scheidewand /, sowie die Kammer m sind also für jede Umleitung de besonders vorhanden, dagegen zieht sich unterhalb sämtlicher Kammern wz her und an sämtlichen Kammern h vorbei durch den Ventilkasten f ein kanal ^ artiger Raum n, von dem aus je unterhalb der Mitte jeder einzelnen Kammer in eine senkrechte Bohrung 0 durch den Boden des Kastens/ nach außen geht. Diese BohrungIn the box / each of the diversion pipes d rising up from the rear pipe bar b , which can introduce the wind into the valve box f , opens into a knee hole g with the mouth go facing downwards above a lower valve chamber h, which, however, passes above below the knee hole g a diaphragm valve i which is tightly connected all around the edge is closed. Also above the latter, a second knee bore k , opposite to g, opens with the opening downwards, at the opening point of g only separated by a standing partition / so that when the membrane i is lifted by the overpressure occurring below in the chamber h and is pressed against Z, the connection of the air from g to k, which usually takes place around / around with the diaphragm i sagging downward, as shown in FIG. 1, is interrupted. The other end of the bore k now leads into a chamber m also located at the top of the valve box f , from which the pipe e forming the other part of the bypass goes down to the front pipe strip c, at which it re-enters the associated main pipe α joins. The valve chamber h, the knee bends g and k with the partition /, as well as the chamber m are therefore especially present for each diversion de , on the other hand a channel-like space extends below all the chambers wz and past all the chambers h through the valve box f n, from which goes below the center of each individual chamber into a vertical hole 0 through the bottom of the box / to the outside. This hole

can alternately, as shown, through a valve q from the inside of the chamber η or through a valve q ¹ from below, ie from the. Outside of the box / her are closed by the two valves q and q ^{1 are} attached to a common rod ρ , and at a slightly greater distance than the length of the intermediate hole ο is. From ο leads, im

ίο Bottom of f laterally and diagonally directed, a hole r to the adjacent valve chamber h, and not to the one that belongs to the diversion, under whose chamber m the relevant hole ο is, but to the one to the next lower (or next upper) Tone and its bypass associated valve chamber h. In this r opens from the bottom, closed by a flap valve s , so that when the valve rod p. is lifted with the valves q and q ^l , so that ^ ¹ closes the bore 0 from below and now the air in η is open to access from above into the bore 0 and r, any overpressure from η is expressed by lifting the flap s and so compressed air is introduced in h and overpressure is generated here, which lifts valve i at the top and presses it against /. Becomes even more air into a h BEZW. If the pressure is even greater, a flap t, which usually closes in front of a connecting bore u between a chamber h and the next adjacent one in the partition ν between these two chambers on one inclined side of this wall, rises at the same time, and thus enters the neighboring chamber. These flaps t respectively. the inclined side of the partitions ν are arranged in such a way as it is necessary and self-explanatory with regard to the leadership of the melody in relation to the desired solution of the task at hand. that is, for all or most of the tones, from the front in front of the organ respectively. seen the keyboard, from right to left opening resp. a progression of the air pressure from right to left, that is, from a valve box h, each time leading to the adjacent one belonging to the next lower note in the scale, because as a rule in the whole organ, or at least in the greater part of it, as in general Most sound pieces, while only the top note of a chord forms the melody. At most, for a certain distance in the bass, the arrangement can also be reversed, so that the flaps t open from left to right, i.e. from one chamber h to that of the next higher note, insofar as one assumes that perhaps in the Bass once the melody could be formed from the respective lowest note of a chord.

Since all the valve rods ρ are now in the continuous channel η and all the bores 0 extend from it, it is clear that when the highest note struck is able to create an overpressure in η as a result of the wind movement that takes place as a result of its diversion de to generate respectively. to let arise, this backwards and at the same time on all chambers h, which are above the one belonging to the struck melody tone, so all valves st and i arranged here acts, so that in all chambers h by the diaphragm i pressed against / pressed against the bypass de blocked or interrupted, thus a resonance of the coupled sound is excluded to about battered main sounds (deepest) except for the uppermost of these battered tones constituting the melody by h for the de to its diversion associated chamber and for all above or below the membrane i in the unaffected sagging position, so the diversion de remains open and uninterrupted.

The overpressure in η is caused by the air movement in the bypass de of the struck melody tone, in that the valves q and q ¹ lift, at the same time the plate serving as a guide for the rod ρ above, soft like a valve on the elastic (leather) Links χ are connected to the walls of the chamber η , sinks, so the space of η becomes somewhat smaller and furthermore a kind of vacuum is created above in m with the notes struck below the melody tone. The lower guide for the valve rods ρ forms a bar y.

In order to explain the operation of the device using an example, it is assumed that the tone marked α ^λ on the straight main wind line in the plan (Fig. 3) is the highest played, i.e. the melody tone of a chord, then the wind does not flow at the moment of the attack only through the straight line a ¹ , but also through the inclined line e \ which forms the front piece of the associated diversion and which is in communication through the chamber m ¹ with the rear inclined tube ^{d l} , after the key is struck ^{4 he down.} Thus, with the struck note belonging to a ¹ , the same note an octave higher sounds to which the pipe a ^ls belongs, since above this, as shown, the diversion d ¹ m ^] e ¹ branches off. Since the inclined line parts d ¹ and e ^l are assumed to be of equal length in the version shown, they merge into one another above the straight line a ¹ belonging to the seventh tone of the octave, counted upwards from a ¹ , so that the chamber is also here m ¹ comes to rest.

It follows that the type of straight line a ¹ connects the diversion pipe d ₇ on the one hand and e ⁷ on the other hand, while downwards (left) next to h \ , i.e. above the one next to a ¹

ίο lying pipe α ^β , the chamber α ² is located, which through the pipe r with the channel η below the chamber m ^l , thus influenced by the 'these underlying valves q and q ¹ , can enter into connection. From this it follows that ,.

when the tone belonging to a ¹ is struck ¹ , as a result of the action of the valves ^{qq l} at this point of the channel η and the one generated here, through ¹ pipe r and valve 5 to h. ₂ transferred overpressure both in h. ₂ , as well as in all the deeper chambers h, the membrane i is pressed against / on at the top so that the connection between the bores g and k, i.e. between the parts d and ¹ e of the diversions, is interrupted, and consequently the resonance of the diversions caused by these diversions the struck tones coupled octave tones is made impossible.
