Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schulterstütze für ein Streichinstrument.The invention relates to a shoulder rest for a string instrument.

Eine Schulterstütze für Streichinstrumente ist aus der gattungsbildenden DE-PS 26 04 897 bekannt. Die darin beschriebene Schulterstütze ermöglicht einerseits eine stufenlose Anpassung an die Breite des Instrumentes, andererseits kann das Instrument mittels der Schulterstütze derart gehalten werden, daß es sich in einer optimalen Position am Körper des Musikers befindet. Durch die vielfältigen Verstellmöglichkeiten ist eine Anpassung einer derartigen Schulterstütze an die verschiedensten Größen der Streichinstrumente bzw. an die unterschiedlichsten Größen der Musiker gewährleistet, wobei hier im wesentlichen der vertikale Abstand des Schlüsselbeins vom Kinn von Bedeutung ist.A shoulder rest for string instruments is known from the generic DE-PS 26 04 897. The shoulder rest described therein enables on the one hand a continuous adjustment to the width of the instrument, on the other hand the instrument can be held by means of the shoulder rest in such a way that it is in an optimal position on the body of the musician. The various adjustment options ensure that such a shoulder rest is adapted to the most varied sizes of stringed instruments or to the most varied sizes of musicians, the vertical distance of the clavicle from the chin being important here.

Ein wesentliches Merkmal der gattungsbildenden Einrichtung ist es, daß die verstellbare Klemmvorrichtung an der Stützplatte über einen im wesentlichen in der Längsachse der Stützplatte gleitend und selbsthemmend verstellbaren Tragarm gelagert ist. Mit dieser Ausbildung der Schulterstütze wird erreicht, daß auch bei einer Anpassung an sehr breite Instrumente, die eigentliche Schulterstütze stets möglichst nahe am Körperrand des Instrumentes gelagert ist. Durch die selbsthemmende Lagerung des Tragarmes innerhalb eines Lagerblockes wird eine stufenlose Verstellung und leichte Einstellung des Tragarmes ermöglicht.An essential feature of the generic device is that the adjustable clamping device on the support plate slides over a substantially in the longitudinal axis of the support plate and self-locking adjustable support arm is mounted. With this design of the shoulder rest it is achieved that, even when adapting to very wide instruments, the actual shoulder rest is always stored as close as possible to the body edge of the instrument. The self-locking mounting of the support arm within a bearing block enables continuous adjustment and easy adjustment of the support arm.

Die bislang bekannte selbsthemmende Lagerung des Tragarmes in einem Lagerblock hat den Nachteil, daß sich bei hohen Belastungen der Tragarm innerhalb des Lagerblockes bewegen kann und sich so in seiner Einstellung ändert. In diesen Fällen verändert sich die Position des Streichinstrumentes in Bezug zum Musiker, was zu Unsicherheiten beim Spielen des Instrumentes führt. Die Positionsveränderung des Tragarmes innerhalb des klemmenden Lagerblockes kann vor allem dann auftreten, wenn die Schulterstütze schon seit längerem in Betrieb ist und die Spannkraft des elastischen Lagerblockes nachläßt bzw. Materialveränderungen und Temperaturunterschiede die Elastizität des Materials beeinflussen.The previously known self-locking mounting of the support arm in a bearing block has the disadvantage that the support arm can move within the bearing block at high loads and thus its setting changes. In these cases, the position of the string instrument in relation to the musician changes, which leads to uncertainties when playing the instrument. The change in position of the support arm within the clamping bearing block can occur especially when the shoulder rest has been in operation for a long time and the elasticity of the elastic bearing block is weakening or material changes and temperature differences influence the elasticity of the material.

Daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Halterung des die Klemmvorrichtung haltenden Tragarmes zu schaffen, die selbst bei hoher Belastung bzw. nach langem Gebrauch die einmal eingestellte Position des Tragarmes und der damit verbundenen Klemmvorrichtung sicher beibehält, aber trotzdem die leichte Einstellbarkeit weiterhin gewährleistet.It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a holder for the support arm holding the clamping device, which securely maintains the position of the support arm and the associated clamping device once set, even under high load or after long use, but still ensures easy adjustability.

Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Lehre des Hauptanspruches gelöst.This object on which the invention is based is achieved by the teaching of the main claim.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen erläutert.Advantageous designs are explained in the subclaims.

Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt erfolgt die Lagerung des Tragarmes weiterhin einmal durch seine Halterung innerhalb des aus einem elastischen Material bestehenden Lagerblocks zwischen den Lageraugen, so daß hier beim Einstellen der Halterungsvorrichtung die Verstellung des Tragarmes nur gegen die haltende und klemmende Kraft des Lagerblockes erfolgen kann. Hierdurch ist ein sehr feines Einstellen der Lage des Tragarmes möglich und, wenn diese Lage eingestellt ist, behält der Tragarm vorläufig auch seine Lage bei, so daß nunmehr in Ruhe - selbst nach Abnahme des eigentlichen Musikinstrumentes - die Schraubklemme betätigt werden kann, die dann den Tragarm absolut festlegt. Mit der neuen Einrichtung wird also eine Kombinationslagerung erreicht, die einerseits eine starre Festlegung des Tragarmes gewährleistet, andererseits den Vorteil der selbst arretierenden Einstellung des Tragarmes beibehält.In other words, the support arm is once again supported by its holder within the bearing block made of an elastic material between the bearing eyes, so that when the holder device is adjusted, the adjustment of the support arm can only take place against the holding and clamping force of the bearing block. This enables a very fine adjustment of the position of the support arm and, if this position is set, the support arm temporarily also maintains its position, so that the screw clamp can now be actuated in peace - even after removing the actual musical instrument - which then Support arm absolutely fixed. With the new device, a combination storage is achieved which on the one hand ensures a rigid fixing of the support arm and on the other hand maintains the advantage of the self-locking setting of the support arm.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt dabei in

Fig. 1
die Gesamtansicht einer an einem Streichinstrument angeordneten Schulterstütze mit einer ersten Ausführungsform der Klemmvorrichtung und in
Fig. 2
in einer Teildarstellung eine weitere, mögliche Ausbildung der Klemmvorrichtung.
An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing. The drawing shows in
Fig. 1
the overall view of a shoulder rest arranged on a string instrument with a first embodiment of the clamping device and in
Fig. 2
in a partial representation a further, possible embodiment of the clamping device.

Bezugnehmend auf Fig. 1 besteht eine Schulterstütze 1 im wesentlichen aus einer Stützplatte 2, die an ihren beiden äußeren Enden Klemmvorrichtungen 3 und 4 trägt. Die Klemmvorrichtungen 3, 4 sind an ihrem oberen Ende als Halteklauen 5 ausgebildet, die den unteren Rand eines Streichinstrumentes 6 umschließen und sicher halten.Referring to Fig. 1, there is a shoulder rest 1 essentially from a support plate 2 which carries clamping devices 3 and 4 at its two outer ends. The clamping devices 3, 4 are formed at their upper end as holding claws 5, which enclose the lower edge of a stringed instrument 6 and hold it securely.

Um eine Höhenverstellung der Schulterstütze 1 zu ermöglichen, weisen die Klemmvorrichtungen 3, 4 Gewindezapfen 7 auf, so daß der Abstand zwischen der Schulterstütze 1 und dem Streichinstrument 6 je nach Bedarf verändert werden kann.In order to enable a height adjustment of the shoulder rest 1, the clamping devices 3, 4 have threaded pins 7, so that the distance between the shoulder rest 1 and the stringed instrument 6 can be changed as required.

Um den Abstand der Halteklauen 5 der Breite des Streichinstrumentes 6 anpassen zu können, ist die Klemmvorrichtung 3 an einem Tragarm 8 angeordnet, der beweglich in Lageraugen 9 und 10 geführt ist. Um den Tragarm 8 in seiner gewünschten Position zu halten, befinden sich zwischen den Lageraugen 9, 10 ein Lagerblock 11 und eine Schraubklemme 12. Der Lagerblock 11 besteht aus einem formelastischen Material, der die freie Beweglichkeit des darin geführten Tragarmes 8 behindert. Die Schraubklemme 12 ist mit einer Schraube 14 versehen, deren Spitze bis auf den Tragarm 8 reicht.In order to be able to adapt the spacing of the holding claws 5 to the width of the stringed instrument 6, the clamping device 3 is arranged on a support arm 8 which is movably guided in bearing eyes 9 and 10. In order to keep the support arm 8 in its desired position, a bearing block 11 and a screw clamp 12 are located between the bearing eyes 9, 10. The bearing block 11 is made of a resilient material that hinders the free movement of the support arm 8 guided therein. The screw terminal 12 is provided with a screw 14, the tip of which extends to the support arm 8.

Um nun den Abstand der Halteklauen 5 der Klemmvorrichtungen 3 und 4 auf die jeweilige Breite des Streichinstrumentes 6 einzustellen, wird die Klemmvorrichtung 3 soweit an das Streichinstrument 6 geschoben, bis beide Halteklauen 5 den unteren Rand des Streichinstrumentes 6 sicher umgreifen. Diese Position der Klemmvorrichtung 3 wird automatisch beibehalten, da der Tragarm 8 von dem formelastischen Lagerblock 11 in seiner Position gehalten wird. So ist kein ungewolltes Lösen der Klemmvorrichtung 3 bzw. der Halteklauen 5 möglich, und die Schulterstütze 1 behält ihren festen Sitz an dem Streichinstrument 6 selbst bei dieser zunächst vorläufigen Anpassung.In order to set the distance between the holding claws 5 of the clamping devices 3 and 4 to the respective width of the stringed instrument 6, the clamping device 3 is pushed onto the stringed instrument 6 until both holding claws 5 securely grip the lower edge of the stringed instrument 6. This position of the clamping device 3 is automatically maintained since the support arm 8 is held in position by the form-elastic bearing block 11 becomes. In this way, no unwanted loosening of the clamping device 3 or the holding claws 5 is possible, and the shoulder rest 1 remains firmly seated on the stringed instrument 6 even during this initially provisional adjustment.

Wenn derart die richtige Position der Halteklauen 5 und der Klemmvorrichtung 3 gefunden wurde, wird der Tragarm 8 mittels der Schraubklemme 12 in seiner eingestellten Position durch Andrehen der Schraube 14 fixiert. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Schraube 14 als Innensechskantschraube ausgeführt, es kann aber auch jede andere Schraubenart verwendet werden.If the correct position of the holding claws 5 and the clamping device 3 has been found in this way, the support arm 8 is fixed in its set position by tightening the screw 14 by means of the screw clamp 12. The screw 14 is advantageously designed as an Allen screw, but any other type of screw can also be used.

In dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Beispiel ist die Schraubklemme 12 direkt an dem Lagerauge 9 angeordnet. Bei dem in Fig. 2 ausgeführten Beispiel ist die Schraubklemme 12 direkt an dem anderen Lagerauge 10 angeordnet, und unmittelbar am Lagerauge 9 ist der Lagerblock 11 vorgesehen. Im Vergleich zur Fig. 1 wurden also lediglich die Positionen der Schraubklemme 12 und des Lagerblockes 11 vertauscht. Diese unterschiedlichen Anordnungen bewirken jeweils eine einseitige, starre Fixierung des Tragarmes 8, jedoch mit unterschiedlicher begrenzter Beweglichkeit desselben aufgrund der Verformbarkeit des Materials vom Lagerblock 11. Die Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2 hat die Wirkung, daß selbst bei angezogener Schraube 14 der Schraubklemme 12 eine begrenzte Beweglichkeit des Tragarmes 8 in Richtung der Klemmvorrichtung 3 gewährleistet ist; dies hat den Vorteil, daß ein leichtes Abnehmen der Schulterstütze 1 von dem Streichinstrument 6 selbst bei angezogener Schraube 14 möglich ist. Bei dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Beispiel stößt jedoch die Schraubklemme 12 direkt an das Lagerauge 9, und daher ist der Tragarm 8 bei angezogener Schraube 14 in Richtung der Schraubklemme 3 absolut fest fixiert, was insbesondere bei höherer Belastung der Schulterstütze 1 bzw. des Streichinstrumentes 6 von Vorteil ist, da ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der Schulterstütze 1 ausgeschlossen ist. Daher kann, je nach Position des Lagerblockes 11 und der Schraubklemme 12, die Fixierung des Tragarmes 8 den Bedürfnissen des jeweiligen Benutzers angepaßt werden.In the example shown in FIG. 1, the screw terminal 12 is arranged directly on the bearing eye 9. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the screw terminal 12 is arranged directly on the other bearing eye 10, and the bearing block 11 is provided directly on the bearing eye 9. In comparison to FIG. 1, only the positions of the screw terminal 12 and the bearing block 11 have been exchanged. These different arrangements each cause a one-sided, rigid fixation of the support arm 8, but with different limited mobility thereof due to the deformability of the material from the bearing block 11. The embodiment according to FIG. 2 has the effect that even when the screw 14 of the screw terminal 12 is tightened a limited one Mobility of the support arm 8 in the direction of the clamping device 3 is guaranteed; this has the advantage that an easy removal of the shoulder rest 1 from the string instrument 6 is possible even when the screw 14 is tightened. In the example shown in FIG. 1, however, the screw terminal 12 abuts directly to the bearing eye 9, and therefore the support arm 8 is firmly fixed in the direction of the screw clamp 3 when the screw 14 is tightened, which is particularly advantageous when the shoulder rest 1 or the stringed instrument 6 is subjected to higher loads, since unintentional loosening of the shoulder rest 1 is excluded . Therefore, depending on the position of the bearing block 11 and the screw terminal 12, the fixation of the support arm 8 can be adapted to the needs of the respective user.
