Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoulder support for violin and, more particularly, to such a support provided with a device for quickly mounting the support by means of which the violin, during an execution, is supported against the violinist's shoulder.
  • a shoulder support of this type is described in French patent FR 2 659 163 filed in the name of the applicant. It essentially comprises a support piece, intended to be in contact with the shoulder, and fixed to an arm, preferably in an adjustable manner. The latter is itself fixed to the base of a chin rest via a removable connection. The base of the chin rest is formed by a stirrup which carries the adjustable connection and the chin rest proper and which comes to clamp respectively against the bottom and the table of the violin.
  • the support thus makes it possible to hold the violin only by pinching this support, therefore with great comfort for the performer, between the chin and the shoulder of the latter, without having to involve his left hand. which thus remains completely free to move from one position to another on the violin key.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the two drawbacks which have just been described by providing a shoulder support in which the attachment of the arm with the stirrup can on the one hand be removed without tools, and on the other hand does not cause an overthickness against the bottom of the violin.
  • the wedging means are an integral part of the stirrup, it is no longer necessary to use a special tool to remove the shoulder support from the violin.
  • the wedging is done by the spacing of the branches of the fork provided at the end of the arm of the shoulder support, branches whose side faces are then clamped against the side faces of the passage provided in the stirrup. Therefore, the loosening of the branches, to separate them again from the side walls of the passage by actuating the wedging means in the opposite direction, does not require any particular effort so that disassembly can be done easily even by a child or without requiring in no way the hand of the violinist.
  • the invention also relates to a shoulder support of the type described above and the stirrup of which comprises two branches of adjustable length, to ensure tightening, as well as a core connecting these two branches one to the other. other and coming to rest on the bottom, while, on the side of said table, said branches are inserted into holes made in said chin rest, and characterized in that said core and said legs of the stirrup are connected to each other to the others by means of a connection piece extending opposite the splice of the instrument and provided with mounting means admitting a predetermined lateral positioning of the legs of the stirrup one with respect to the other.
  • the shoulder support device can be easily used with various types of chin rests for which the distance between the fixing holes is different.
  • the body C of a violin has been shown with its table T (upper face) and its bottom F, joined by the splint E.
  • a tailpiece CO is conventionally attached to a tailpiece button B anchored in a cleat (not visible in the drawing) placed inside the body C to support the fishplate E at this location.
  • the shoulder support for violin is designated by the general reference 1. It includes a stirrup 2, a chin strap 3 and a shoulder support 4 composed of an arm 5 and a cross 6 provided a pad 7.
  • a stirrup 2 for more detail concerning this support on the shoulder, reference may be made to the aforementioned French patent 2,659,163.
  • the invention is not limited to the specific use shoulder support as described in this patent, since it relates more particularly to the manner in which is carried out the fixing of the arm of a support to the shoulder to the stirrup, itself fixed on the violin.
  • the stirrup 2 comprises a core 8 formed from a plate 9, preferably metallic and which may have a thickness of 2 mm, for example.
  • the stirrup also comprises two branches 10 and 11 which extend parallel upwards along the splint E and are fixed in the chin strap 2, in the usual way. More specifically, each branch 10, 11 comprises a first bent rod 10a, 11a fixed in the plate 9 by one of its ends and screwed by its other end which is threaded, in a socket 10b, 11b forming a tightening nut.
  • a second bent rod 10c, 11c also threaded at one of its ends is screwed into the corresponding socket 10b, 11b and engaged by its other end in the chin rest.
  • the stirrup integral with the chin rest, can be tightened on the violin by stretching branches 10 and 11 by rotation of the sockets 10b, 11b.
  • a strip 12 made of cork for example, is placed between the plate 9 and the bottom F of the violin to avoid deterioration of the latter during tightening.
  • the arm 5 has, at the end which cooperates with the stirrup 2, a longitudinal slot 13 extending approximately over a quarter of the length of this arm which, therefore, has the shape a fork with two branches 5a and 5b. Furthermore, this same end of the arm 5 has an enlarged portion 14 whose length is approximately equal to one-eighth of the length of this arm. Thanks to this particular shape of this end of the arm 5, the branches 5a and 5b can deviate or slightly approach one from the other, without the arm being subjected to permanent deformation.
  • the shoulder support also comprises wedging means designated by the general reference 15 and which allow the arm 5 of the stirrup 2 to be secured.
  • wedging means are constructed as follows.
  • the slot 13 defines a passage comprising a first part 13a whose cross section is circular, when the arm 5 is in the free state (situation shown in Figure 3).
  • This slot also has a second part 13b whose longitudinal side walls are straight and which thus has a rectangular cross section.
  • the parts 13a and 13b of the slot 13 are separated from each other by an oblong opening 16 which is further formed in the end of the arm 5. It extends transversely to the slot 13 over equal lengths of on either side of it.
  • the lateral edges 14a and 14b of an enlarged extreme portion 14 of the arm 5 are cut in a bevel so that the latter takes the form of a dovetail.
  • the plate 9 has, in turn, a passage 17 formed by a groove whose side walls 17a and 17b are reentrant.
  • the cross section of the passage 17 takes the form of a dovetail complementary to the shape of the cross section of the enlarged portion 14, it being understood that the dimensions of these cross sections are chosen so that there remains a slight clearance between the enlarged portion 14 and the walls 17a and 17b of the groove 17, when the end of the arm 5 is inserted in this passage, while the branches 5a and 5b are still in the free state.
  • the wedging means 15 also comprise a control member 18 in the form of a key or key, permanently mounted on the arm 5, while being able to be turned around an axis of rotation XX which extends longitudinally relative to this arm (see in particular Figure 5). Furthermore, this axis coincides with the axis of the end portion 13a of the slot 13 which, as already indicated above, has a circular section, when the arm 5 is in the free state.
  • the key 18 has the general shape of an L, the small branch 19 of which acts as a lever and the large branch 20 of which is engaged in the slot 13 of the arm 5 (see in particular FIG. 3).
  • a first part 20a is of circular section with a diameter slightly smaller than that of the part 13a of circular section of the slot 13.
  • a second part 20b of the branch 20 is an eccentric with a circular peripheral surface of a diameter much greater than that of the part 20a.
  • the third part 20c of the branch 20 has an egg-shaped cross section with a small axis 21a and a large axis 21b whose length exceeds the width of the part 13b of the slot 13, when the arm 5 is at free state (see Figures 7A and 7B, in particular).
  • the eccentric 20b cooperates with a small cavity 22 hollowed out in the plate 9 near the rear edge thereof and located approximately in the middle of the bottom of the groove 17 of this plate.
  • the eccentric is housed, moreover, in the slot 16 provided in the arm 5 whereby the key 18, once mounted in the arm 5 by temporary deformation of its branches, is made integral longitudinally. But it is also integral transversely with the fact that its front part 18a of circular section is held in the front part 13a of the slot 13, while being guided therein in rotation.
  • the length of the oblong opening 16 is then equal to X1, while the distance between the straight side walls of the rear part 13b of the slot 13 is equal to Y1.
  • the rear part 20c of the key 18 then spreads the arms 5a and 5b from the arm 5 which will become wedged by the edges 14a and 14b under the reentrant side walls 17a and 17b of the groove 17.
  • the arm is blocked, any unwanted longitudinal movement of the arm by relative to the wafer, (for example due to a sudden movement of the instrumentalist) being prevented by the eccentric 20b retained in the cavity 22.
  • the length of the oblong lumen 16 and the distance between the side walls of the rear part 13b of the slot 13 are then respectively equal to X2 and Y2, respectively greater than X1 and Y1.
  • the mode of operation of such a mechanism naturally implies extremely small tolerances during the manufacture of the parts that compose it. Indeed, so that the arm is rigidly fixed, it is necessary that the branches 5a and 5b of the arm 5 are compressed against the side walls 17a and 17b of the groove 17.
  • the length Y2 of the major axis 21b of the rear part 20c of section oval of the key 18 cannot therefore be less than a certain minimum value. In addition, the length Y2 must not exceed this minimum value by more than a few hundredths of a millimeter either. In fact, if the length Y2 of the major axis 21b is too large, the branches 5a and 5b of the arm 5 will not have room to deviate sufficiently and they will be damaged by crushing during the rotational movement of the key 18.
  • the embodiment of the shoulder support shown in FIG. 15 comprises, formed in one of the branches of its arm (referenced 105 in this figure), an L-shaped slot referenced 40 and intended to absorb the deformations of the metal forming the arm 105.
  • the slot 40 is formed of two rectilinear parts which join in a 90 ° bend. The longest rectilinear part extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the key 18 opposite the part thereof, the cross section of which is oval, while the shortest part forming the foot of the L s' extends from the 90 ° elbow to the longitudinal slot 13 which houses the key 18.
  • the presence of the slot 40 in one of the branches of the arm 105 allows the material forming the part of the branch which is in direct contact with the oval section region of the key 18 to flex. Thanks to this possibility of elastic deformation, the arm 105 can cooperate without damage with a key 18 whose axis Y2 can possibly have a length exceeding the specifications by several tenths of a millimeter.
  • Dismantling the shoulder support for example to store the violin in its case, is as easy as mounting it. It suffices to turn the key 18 a quarter of a turn to straighten the lever 19.
  • the branches 5a and 5b of the arm 5 can then again come closer to one another due to the inherent elasticity of this arm, which will eliminate the jamming by the dovetail shape of the portion 14 of the arm 5 and of the groove 17 of the plate 9.
  • the support on the shoulder can then simply be removed from the bracket 2.
  • Figures 8 and 9 show a first variant of the wedging means designated here by the general reference 15A.
  • the arm 5 has a slot 13A whose side walls are parallel over its entire length.
  • the slot is interrupted by an elongated lumen 24 oriented axially with respect to the arm 5 and of a width much greater than that of the slot 13A.
  • a wedging member or wedge 25 having an edge 25a at the rear.
  • the arm When in this case, the arm is slid into the groove 17 of the wafer 9, then pulled forward (movement which is indicated by the arrows 26 in FIG. 8), the edge 25a of the corner 25 is introduced between the branches 5a and 5b of the arm 5, by moving them apart from one another. This results in the jamming of the shoulder support 4 and the immobilization of the arm 5 in the stirrup 2.
  • the wedge 25 can be a part machined separately and inserted by a stud (not shown) or glued, for example in the bottom of the groove 17 of the plate 9.
  • FIGS 10 and 11 show another variant of the wedging means indicated here by the general reference 15B.
  • the arm 5 has a longitudinal slot 13B which widens towards the rear at 27.
  • the stirrup here comprises a plate 9B which, apart from having the groove 17 of the previous variants, has laterally clearances 28a and 28b internally bordered by re-entrant surfaces 29.
  • this plate 9B has two parallel ribs 30a and 30b, the sides of which have re-entrant surfaces.
  • the surfaces 29 are intended to retain a wedging member or slider 31 formed by a trigger guard which overlaps the two ribs 30a and 30b and which laterally comprises two hooks 32a and 32b engaged with the re-entrant surfaces 29.
  • a corner 33 opposite the bottom of the groove 17 of the wafer 9B. This corner cooperates with the flared part 27 of the slot 13B of the arm 5.
  • the plate 9B also has an elongated milling 34 extending along the rib 30b and with which a pin 35 inserted in the slider 31 cooperates.
  • the mounting of the arm 5 on the plate 9B is done in this case by sliding it in the groove 17 according to the arrow 36.
  • the blocking then occurs as soon as the cursor 31 is pushed in opposite direction on the ribs 30a and 30b to introduce the corner 33 between the arms 5a and 5b of the arm 5 (see FIG. 11).
  • the violin shoulder support device is designated by the general reference 101. It comprises a stirrup 102, a chin strap 103 and a shoulder support 104 composed of an arm 105 and a crosspiece 106 fitted with a pad 107.
  • the cross member 106 is folded relative to the arm 105, both in inclination and in longitudinal position along the latter, this position being able to be easily given to it by means of an assembly adjustable fixing 108.
  • This assembly and the manner of using it are described in detail in the patent FR 2,659,163 already cited.
  • the stirrup 102 comprises a core 109 in the form of a plate, applied against the bottom F of the violin with the interposition of a strip of cork 110, for example.
  • connection tabs 114 From the rear edge of the plate 109 of the stirrup 102 extend rearward two connection tabs 114 which are both bent at the top. They are connected to a slightly curved transverse bar 115 to adapt to the rounded shape of the splint E at this location. This bar 115 also includes a half-moon clearance 116 in order to avoid contact with the tailpiece boutier B.
  • transverse bar 115 The parts of the transverse bar 115 which project laterally from the respective connection lugs 114 are pierced with slots 117, preferably of rectangular shape and the long sides of which extend longitudinally relative to the transverse bar 115.
  • the plate 109, the connection lugs 114, as well as the transverse bar 115 are preferably produced in a single stamped and appropriately folded metal piece.
  • the stirrup 102 also comprises two parallel arms 118 extending upwards and each composed of three parts.
  • a coupling piece in the form of a key 119 is intended to fit in one of the openings 117 of the crossbar 115.
  • Each key is formed of a body 119a of shape general cylindrical, ending at its upper end in a threaded end 119b.
  • This body 119a also has two clearances, namely first of all a flat 119c whereby it can be placed astride the upper part 115a of the transverse bar 115 which borders the rectangular light 117.
  • the flat 119c is located at diametrically opposite position offset in height on the body 119a with respect to a cutout 119d also made on this body at its lower end and which constitutes the second release of the coupling part or key 119. It is using this cut-out that the body 119a can bear against the lower part 115b of the crossbar 115 bordering the lumen 117.
  • Each arm 118 also includes a nut 120 at all points similar to the nuts usually used in conventional shoulder support devices.
  • Each nut 120 is engaged on a rod 121 bent at right angles and intended to be introduced into a hole 122 of the chin rest 103. The latter rests on the table T of the violin by means of a cork strip 123 .
  • the rod 121 comprises at its lower end a threaded part 121a on which the nut 120 is screwed.
  • the stirrup 102 can be made integral with the violin by screwing the nuts 120 onto, on the one hand, the threaded end piece 119a of the keys 119 and, on the other hand, the threaded part 121a of the rods 121. In doing so, the rear part of the violin is clamped between the chin strap 103 and the plate 109 which therefore makes the violin integral with the device according to the invention.
  • the distance between the arms 118 of the stirrup 102 can be adjusted to that separating the holes 122 of the chin rest by sliding, before the final tightening of the nuts 120, the keys 119 in the slots 117 of the crossbar 115.
  • the support device according to the invention can be adapted not only to imprecision in the distance separating the holes 122 from the chin rests, but also to chin rests having different nominal distances between these holes.
  • the length of the slots 117 made in the crossbar 115 can be chosen to be large enough that the same support device can adapt to all of the chin rests that are found in practice.
  • the transverse bar 115 can have a greater or lesser length, just as can also be that of the lights 117. In certain cases, it may even be advantageous to provide an asymmetry as to the length of the lights 117, especially when the chin rest is placed to the left relative to tailpiece C.
  • FIG. 15 shows a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
  • the elements represented in FIG. 15 which have already been described in relation to FIGS. 12 to 14 are identified by the same reference numbers.
  • the transverse bar 115 which serves as a connection piece between the core 109 and the branches 118 of the stirrup, has two elongated ends referenced 217.
  • the two parallel arms 118 of the stirrup each comprise a coupling piece 219 in the form of an earring, or more precisely having a slot in which one of the elongated ends 217 of the crossbar 115 engages.
  • the distance between the arms 118 of the stirrup 102 can here also be adjusted to that separating the holes of the chin rest by sliding before the final tightening of the nuts 120 the coupling parts 219 along the two ends 217 of the crossbar 115.
