Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to wind musical instruments of the key type, such as saxophones, clarinets, bassoons, flutes or the like, this being more particularly relating to the adjustment of the pads of the keys for these instruments.
  • Wind musical instruments of the aforementioned type have chimneys arranged along their bodies, the height of a sound emitted being a function of a specific combination associating open and closed chimneys.
  • the opening and closing of said chimneys are ensured by buffers housed in bowls fixed to the ends of brass keys articulated on the body of the instrument.
  • Each tampon consists of a felt washer mounted on a cardboard sole, both wrapped in thin skin, stretched by riveting in the center of the tampon.
  • the pads generally include rigid washers called resonators and arranged on the visible face of said pads.
  • the keys and the buffers are mounted on the instrument, the buffers then being adjusted in a position capable of ensuring a good seal when the chimneys are closed. This delicate adjustment is ordinarily carried out by successive deformations of the key until the buffer comes to apply perfectly at all points from the edge of the corresponding chimney.
  • the device according to the invention comprises means provided to prevent relative rotation of the tampon with respect to the bowl.
  • said means provided for preventing rotation of the tampon appear in the structure of the joint with male and female components.
  • these means comprise a lug and a slot, said lug penetrating into said slot and being partially blocked therein, any one of these two means belonging to the structure of the male component of the joint, while the the other belongs to the structure of the female component of said joint.
  • said means provided to prevent rotation of the tampon relative to the bowl belong to the tampon and to the bowl.
  • these means comprise a nipple and an opening, said nipple penetrating into said opening and being partially blocked therein, any one of these two means appearing in the tampon, while the other appearing in the bowl. .
  • reference 1 designates a chimney of the instrument. This chimney is closed by a movable pad designated as a whole by the reference 2, mounted in a bowl 3 itself fixed to a key end (not shown) articulated on the body of the instrument and actuated by the musician to open and close the chimney 1.
  • a plate 4 carrying at its center a sphere 5 is welded to the center of the bottom of the bowl 3, so that said sphere 5 protrudes towards the inside of the bowl 3.
  • the support assembly -sphere 4.5 is made in one piece obtained by turning.
  • the sphere 5 is elastically fitted into a housing in the portion of a sphere, formed in the flat head of a rivet 6 made of polyethylene or other plastic material with a low coefficient of friction.
  • the head of the rivet 6 has a frustoconical peripheral surface 7 engaged in an opening of complementary shape formed in a circular flat sole 9 of thin metal, on the underside of which is glued a covered felt washer 10, as known per se , skin 11.
  • the pad 2 formed as a whole by the felt washer 10, the skin 11 and the sole 9, is held on the head of the rivet 6 by means of the usual resonator 12 comprising a central opening engaged on the rod 8 of the rivet 6, said rod 8 being sectioned flush with the resonator 12 and melted hot to form a peripheral bead 13 intended to retain the resonator 12 and the pad 2 on the head of the rivet 6.
  • the articulation comprising the sphere 5 and the head of the rivet 6 is such that the pad 2 can carry out, freely but without unnecessary play, a movement of universal angular movement relative to the bowl 3, the distance j formed between the bottom of the the bowl 3 and the sole 9 of the pad 2, determining the position of maximum inclination that the pad 2 can take relative to the bottom of the bowl 3. This maximum inclination is shown in phantom in the drawing.
  • the pad 2 is immobilized in rotation relative to the bowl 3, around the axis of the articulation 5,6, by a lug 14 fixed on the support plate 4, said lug 14 extending in the direction of the pad 2, parallel to the axis of the bowl 3 and its vicinity, to enter a slot 15 provided for this purpose in the head of the rivet 6.
  • Said slot 15 is oversized with respect to the 'lug 14 so as not to hinder the angular movements of the buffer 2. It is understood that the immobilization in rotation of the buffer 2 prevents any shift, by this route, of the imprint 1a of the chimney edge 1.
  • the latter comprises in the vicinity of its periphery a circular groove 16 in which is housed an elastomeric rod 17, this groove 16 is located to the right of the periphery of the sole 9.
  • the pad 2 is immobilized in rotation by a stud 14a integrated into the sole 9 of the pad and extending radially from the periphery thereof, said stud 14a being capped with 'a silent elastomeric cap 14b for operating inside the opening 15a made on the peripheral skirt of the bowl 3.
  • Said opening 1.5a is oversized with respect to the stud 14a capped with its cap 14b, so as not to hinder them angular movements of the tampon 2.
  • This arrangement has the advantages, compared to the previous embodiment, on the one hand, of being easily achievable, on the other hand, of visually and materially facilitating the establishment and disassembly of the pad 2, with however for disadvantage, a slight aesthetic modification of the instrument.
