Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for improving the sound of the accordion and the bandoneon, reducing their weight, improving the fixing and sealing of the pads, box springs, and the sealing of the valves.
- the invention overcomes these drawbacks.
- the realization of these instruments in materials of minimum hardness of 70 shores D in particular in carbon fiber or other fiber compound with: resin and hardener, or in composite, of a hardness higher than wood and plastic; which allows the vibrations produced by the blades to propagate in the parts produced, and to obtain a greater frequency, as well as an increase in wavelengths, and more defined sounds.
- the whole instrument can be made or only a few parts.
- the average hardness of the carbon fiber is 85 to 90 shores D.
- the weight decreases for the parts produced by about 50 to 80%. This allows the user to have a greater musical expression, with less effort, a lighter instrument, to play longer, less factiguem.
- the hardness of the materials currently used is as follows: - from 60 to 70 shores D for thermosets (plastics) - from 55 to 65 shores D for beech, fir, etc.
- the hardness of the carbon fiber compound is from 85 to 90 shores D approximately. This material therefore has a significantly higher reflectance of acoustic waves. Indeed, the hardness of carbon fiber is about 31% higher compared to a thermosetting (plastic) and 42% compared to wood.
- FIG. 9 a side view of a key assembly with the known sealing mode.
- the extension of the plates (1) makes it possible to find the space necessary for the location of a certain number of holes or lights for the fixing means (2) which can be in particular screws, bolts, or nuts, to increase the pressure between the said plates (1) and the bed base (4).
- the increase in this pressure promotes the propagation of vibrations emitted by them.
- This set consisting of (1) + (2) + (3) + (4) being made more homogeneous, there is much less loss of sound.
- the fixing system will be improved depending on whether at least 2 screw elements (2) are shown in figure 1 or 4 screw elements (2) are shown in figure 2 or 6 screw elements (2) are shown in figure 3 or 8 screw elements (2) are shown in figure 4.
- screw elements (2) are shown in figure 1 or 4 screw elements (2) are shown in figure 2 or 6 screw elements (2) are shown in figure 3 or 8 screw elements (2) are shown in figure 4.
- the implantation of the screw elements (2) could be screws: transverse figure 5 solution 1 or blind figure 5 solution Z or bolts figure 5 solution 3.
- this invention proposes a counterbore in the bed base (4) to center the plate (1) and therefore avoid its displacement.
- the seal between the plates (1) and the base (4) is ensured by 1 or 2 lips (10) or by a seal (11) made of rubber, plastic, felt or other flexible material (with closed cell ) which allows the pads (1) to come into contact with the bed base (4).
- the known system for fixing the base (4) to the accordion body (6) is provided by aluminum plates, which are fixed by screws on the edge of the body to press the legs of the base.
- This fixing has an average efficiency for the propagation of vibrations, the sealing as well as its displacement.
- the seal was obtained by a fiber joint (felt type) with skin, FIG. 9 (13).
- the invention improves this seal by inserting between the valves (12) and the plate on which they are supported, 1 or 2 lips which have the effect of reducing the bearing surface, increasing the seal pressure while maintaining the same sealing pressure, maintaining the same operating pressure of the button.

Abstract
Dispositif pour améliorer le son des accordéons et bandonéons, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué de matériaux de dureté minimum de 70 shores D, notamment en fibre de carbone, ou autres composés de fibres, ou en composites (pouvant être recouverts pour la décoration, de matériaux d'une dureté inférieure ou supérieure), comportant des plaquettes (1) posées dans le lamage du sommier (4) à l'aide des moyens de fixation (2). Le sommier (4) sera fixé sur une bordure à l'intérieur de la caisse d'accordéon (6) par des éléments vissants (8). L'étanchéité entre les clapets (12) et la plaque sur laquelle ils s'appuient sera améliorée par 1 ou 2 lèvres (14) (15).Device for improving the sound of accordions and bandoneons, characterized in that it consists of materials with a minimum hardness of 70 shores D, in particular carbon fiber, or other fiber compounds, or composites (which can be covered for decoration , of materials of a lower or higher hardness), comprising plates (1) placed in the counterbore of the bed base (4) using the fixing means (2). The box spring (4) will be fixed on a border inside the accordion case (6) by screw elements (8). The seal between the valves (12) and the plate on which they rest will be improved by 1 or 2 lips (14) (15).
