Definitions
- the present invention relates to a case for a musical instrument and more particularly for a cello or a double bass
- An object of the present invention is to provide a case for a musical instrument preventing damage to the instrument in the event of an impact.
- a case for a musical instrument comprising two elements connected to each other by connecting means at least partially unlockable, these two elements having edges coming opposite when closing the case and means for holding the instrument when closing the case in which, on at least part of their facing edges, the two elements are spaced from each other after closing the case, so that they keep a certain flexibility so that even if the instrument is not quite well placed in the case before closing, the elements are slightly deformed at the time of closure and that the holding means are only slightly compressed by the closure, which allows them to absorb a shock on the case without passing it on the instrument.
- the elements of the case according to the invention keep a certain flexibility so that even if the instrument is not completely well placed in the case before it is closed, the elements deform slightly when it is closed and the holding means are only slightly compressed by the closure, which allows them to absorb a shock on the case without passing on that -this on the instrument, and in the case of a cello, without causing the neck or the volute to break.
- the edges of the two elements include parts bearing against one another.
- the case remains rigid enough to ensure proper maintenance of the instrument.
- the means for holding the instrument comprise elastic pads arranged inside each of the elements and bearing on the instrument on either side of it during closing the case.
- the instrument is not rigidly pressed against one of the walls of the case and the protection provided is uniform whatever the side on which a shock is applied to the case.
- the case comprises a cover in two parts joined by a zipper comprising a cursor having a trajectory extending opposite the edges of the elements of the case, preferably the spaced edge parts and the edge parts in support of the elements are connected progressively.
- the cursor moves freely in the space between the edges and the operation of the zipper is therefore very easy.
- the progressive connection of the spaced-apart edge portions to the bearing edge portions ensures guidance of the cursor, making it easier to maneuver.
- one of the elements has a bottom pierced with an opening covered with padding.
- the case is lightened and, in particular in the case of the transport of a cello, the comfort of this transport is improved.
- the case for a musical instrument and more particularly for a cello according to the invention, comprises two shell-shaped elements, generally designated at 1, connected to each other by connecting means. comprising on one side hinges 2 fixed to each of the elements and on an opposite side a latch 3 fixed on one of the elements and movable between an unlocked position represented in FIG. 1 and a locked position represented in FIG. 2.
- Each of the two elements 1 has an edge, generally designated at 4.
- the edges 4 comprise, between the hinges 2 and on either side of the latch 3, in the vicinity thereof, edge portions 5 which come to bear one against the other when the case is closed.
- the connecting means are arranged in the middle area of the case, the edge parts 5 bearing one against the other are therefore arranged in this middle part of the case and provide a good rigidity of the whole case when closing.
- the edges 4 have recessed parts 6 which are spaced from one another when the case is closed.
- the recessed edge portions 6 are connected to the edge portions 5 by curved portions 7 which provide a progressive connection of the recessed edge portions 6 with the edge portions 5.
- one of the elements 1 has a guide surface 8 fixed to this element and which extends towards the other element so as to ensure, in a conventional manner, guiding of the other element during closing.
- the case conventionally includes a padding 9, for example of foam covered with fabric, or simply thick fabric.
- the case further comprises means for holding the instrument here comprising elastic pads 10 arranged on the one hand at the level of the cello neck, between the area of the case to receive the body and the area of the case to receive the scroll, and elastic pads of slightly different shape to rest on the one hand on the bottom of the body and on the other hand on the sides of the cello table.
- One of the elastic pads 10 fixed on the element forming the cover, and intended to rest on the cello table has a cavity 11 intended to receive one end of the bow while the other end is held in the element by a flexible tongue 12.
- the case includes an elastic pad 13 intended to hold the cello laterally.
- the bottom of the element of the case intended to receive the cello case is pierced with an opening 14 covered on the internal side by the upholstery 9 and on the external side by a cover 15 produced in two parts each substantially enveloping one elements of the case and joined by a zipper 16 comprising a cursor 17 having a trajectory extending opposite the edges of the elements of the case.
- the elements of the case are made from a conventional material such as resin reinforced with fiberglass and it is therefore found that when closing, the elements 1 are each supported on the instrument by hand. and other of it by means of the elastic pads 10 but can also deform slightly in the areas where the edge parts 6 remain spaced apart from each other so that the holding means 10 are not not too strongly compressed and therefore retain a certain elasticity, sufficient rigidity of the case being however ensured by the edge parts 5 bearing one against the other.
- the cover is itself closed by moving the cursor 17 in the space between the spaced edges 6. This maneuver is easy and, when the cursor reaches the edge parts in support 5, it is guided by the curved profiles 7.
- the opening 14 in the wall of one of the elements of the case coincides with the bottom of the cello case which is generally applied to the back of the person carrying the case.
- the case bears on the back of the person who transports it by a flexible part and the comfort of transport is therefore improved.
- the seal in particular at the parts spaced from the edges, is ensured by the cover, other means can be provided, for example by extending the surface 8 all along the edge of an element or by providing between the parts 6 profiles in cellular foam or in any very flexible material achieving sealing without producing a rigid support of the edge parts 6.
