Definitions

  • the invention relates to a harmonica with chambers delimited by chamber walls, a reed plate covering the chambers, which has a series of pairs of stub tongues belonging to a chamber, and a cover.
  • Such a harmonica as it is known from the company Hohner, "All about repairs of accordions Melodicas harmonica", 1978, p. 76, consists of a large number of parts, namely a comb body, an upper and a lower reed plate, one upper and a lower cover as well as screws, which are made of different materials, are to be assembled and screwed together.
  • a harmonica which is formed from two housing shells which are screwed together, wherein comb wall sections which can be brought into engagement with one another are formed in both housing shells.
  • a reed plate is provided for each comb, which is inserted between the associated comb wall sections of the two housing shells and is clamped in by screwing the two latter.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a harmonica of the type mentioned, which consists of a small number of individual parts, which are also easy to assemble.
  • the combs are formed by a housing shell and comb walls arranged on the bottom thereof, the housing shell via a snap connection located on one long side with the cover, which on the other long side of the housing shell from an undercut by clamping the reed plate is accommodated between the housing shell and the cover, is closed and the cover is provided with pressing elements which tightly clamp the reed plate resting on the comb wall against the comb wall.
  • Fig. 1 shows a detail of a plan view of a housing of a harmonica.
  • Fig. 2 shows a section along the line A-A of Fig. 1st
  • FIG. 3 shows a section along the line B-B from FIG. 1.
  • the harmonica shown comprises a housing shell 1 which has a closed bottom and which has a mouthpiece 2 on one narrow side with blowing / suction openings arranged in a row in the longitudinal direction 3, on the opposite side forms the respective blow / suction openings 4 corresponding to the blow / suction openings 3, and from the bottom of which the comb walls 5 of the combs 6 extend, which in plan view form a U forming the corresponding blow / suction opening 3 with its opening.
  • the bottom of the housing shell 1 forms the bottoms of the chambers 6.
  • the inside of the mouthpiece 2 facing the bottom of the housing shell 1 is provided with a continuous undercut 8 for a cover 9.
  • the cover 9 engages in the undercut 8 with a correspondingly shaped shoulder 10.
  • the inside of the cover 9 is provided with pressing elements 11 in the form of pressing cams, which are arranged at suitable intervals at the height of at least one comb wall 5 of one or more combs 6, ie in the longitudinal direction the harmonica is arranged at intervals corresponding to the division of the pulpit or a multiple thereof and, if appropriate, transversely to it twice or more.
  • a plurality of snap hooks 12 directed toward the bottom of the housing shell 1 are formed on the cover 9 on the side opposite the shoulder 10.
  • the housing shell 1 and the lid 9 are expediently designed as injection molded parts.
  • the harmonica comprises a reed plate 13, which has a series of pairs of reeds 18 each belonging to a chamber 6 and, in plan view, two opposing, step-shaped recesses 14 on one long side.
  • the reed plate 13 When assembling the harmonica, the reed plate 13 is placed on the canopy walls 5 so that the recesses 14 of the reed plate 13 each abut an inward projection 15 of the housing shell 1, the opposite long side of the reed plate 13 abuts inward projections 16 in the mouthpiece area and thereby the voice plate 13 is fixed in its relative position with respect to the housing shell 1.
  • the cover 9 By inserting the cover 9 into the undercut 8, the reed plate 13 is clamped in along one long side. By subsequently pushing the cover 9 inward, the pressing elements 11 come into engagement with the reed plate 13 and press this onto the comb wall 5. A further pushing in of the cover 9 takes place Snap the snap hooks 12 into the blow-out / suction openings 4 so that the reed plate 13 is tightly stretched against the comb walls 5, cf. Fig. 3.
  • the harmonica comprising only the housing shell 1, the reed plate 13 and the cover 9 can be assembled easily and without further fastening elements.
  • the harmonica shown has a wedge-shaped cross-section, whereby an ergonomically favorable shape in the mouthpiece and handle area is realized.
  • the game air flows during blowing through the blowing / suction openings 3, the combs 6, past the reeds 18, along the reed plate 13 and the inside of the lid and emerges from the blowing / suction openings 4, or when sucking in in the reverse order.
  • cover 9 and housing shell 1 can also or additionally be arranged on webs 17 between the blow-out / suction openings 4, cf. Fig. 2.
  • blow-out / suction openings 4 can also be arranged in the cover 9.
  • the pressing elements 11 of the cover 9 can also be designed as spring struts.
  • the combs 6 can each be divided in half with an intermediate wall 7, which offers the voice plate 13 an additional contact surface.
