Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new ligature for wind instrument mouthpiece.
  • the ligature is split along one of its generatrices, and assembly means such as screws and threaded bores are provided on the two parts which face each other, to make them integral with one another and cause thus a clamping action of the reed.
  • a ligature of this type is described, for example, in French patent No. 2,438,311, in the name of the Applicant.
  • the present invention aims to remedy this drawback by proposing a ligature which requires a single action by the instrumentalist, as well to separate it from the beak of an instrument, with a view to placing on or removing from it a reed, only to make it integral with this spout, in order to maintain a reed in the position of use.
  • the subject of the invention is a flexible ligature made of an elastically deformable material, capable of fitting the mouthpiece with a wind instrument, this ligature having a profile substantially complementary to that of the mouthpiece, so as to be able to grip it Ci and a reed interposed between this beak and the ligature, two parts of the ligature arranged facing each other being intended to be joined by an assembly means external to the spout, and actuable manually, this ligature being characterized in that the assembly means is integral with said parts and is able to move them one by relative to the other parallel to the axis of the beak.
  • the assembly means will comprise at least one axis having at least two pivotally mounted portions respectively in recesses of profile complementary to the parts opposite the ligature and offset relative to each other, said axis being rigidly secured to a rotation control means operable manually, able to rotate it relative to said recesses and thus to move one relative to l 'the other parts facing the ligature, due to the eccentricity of the two portions of the axis.
  • the eccentric portions of the axis engaged in recesses of complementary profile of members integral with the facing parts of the ligature may be cylindrical portions, with parallel axes offset from one another.
  • the control means rigidly secured to the axis may for example comprise a lever projecting laterally with respect to this axis.
  • a wedging member able to bear against the external surface of the reed by a part of complementary profile, may be disposed between the parts facing the ligature and include a recess in which is pivotally mounted the axis of the means d 'assembly, this wedging means thus being integral with the ligature.
  • an adjustment screw screwed into a threaded transverse recess of the wedging element and comprising a head that can be actuated from the outside of this element can bear against the reed by its end opposite this head or by an element integral with this end, so as to be able to adapt so specifies the tightening by the ligature of the reed on the beak according to the thickness of the reed.
  • the wedging member may comprise two external faces of profile complementary to those of the reed and be devoid of thickness adjusting member, while the recess of this wedging member in which the axis of the assembly means will be closer to one of the faces of this wedging member called to come into contact with the reed, which will allow, as will be seen below, to use a ligature equipped with this wedging member with reeds of two different thicknesses, along the face of the wedging member in contact with the reed.
  • the clarinet mouthpiece is designated by the reference 1, the reed by the reference 2 and the body of the ligature according to the invention by the reference 3.
  • the ligature body 3 has, seen in perspective, a stirrup profile conforming to the shape of the beak and, in cross section through planes perpendicular to the axis of the beak, it has U-shaped sections.
  • the ligature is supported on the beak by portions of rings 3 a coaxial with the beak.
  • the parts closest to the body 3 of the ligature are integral with two hollow members 4 and 5, in coaxial cylindrical recesses, 6 and 7, from which complementary cylindrical portions 8 and 9 can be engaged an axis 10, serving as a member for tightening the ligature on the spout 1.
  • a threaded end 11 of the axis 10 projects outside the member 5 and is screwed into a cap nut 12, while the the other end of the axis 10 is rigidly secured to a control lever 13, projecting laterally relative to the member 6.
  • the axis 10 is presented pivoting in a transverse recess 15 of the wedging element 14, so that this element is integral with the whole of the ligature.
  • the axes of the cylindrical parts 8 and 9 of the axis 10 are offset in parallel with each other, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 4, so that, when the parts 8 and 9 pivot in their housing respective 6 and 7, they act like an eccentric to move the parts 4 and 5 relative to each other, perpendicular to the axis of their recesses 6 and 7, thus tightening the reed 2 against the clarinet mouthpiece or by loosening it, depending on the direction in which the lever 13 is actuated.
  • the body 3 of the ligature may be, in known manner, in an elastically deformable material, for example in a metal or alloy or in plastic.
  • the body could possibly be sheathed with rubber, a flexible plastic or an elastomer, preventing the sliding of the ligature relative to the beak and the reed and bringing greater flexibility to the ligature.
  • the axis 10 and the lever 13 may be metallic, while the wedging element 14 may be made of plastic, rigid or elastically deformable.
  • FIG. 5 represents such a wedging member, 20, devoid of an adjusting member and which nevertheless allows the use of reeds of two different thicknesses, with a ligature equipped with the same wedging member of this type.
  • the member 20 has two external faces capable of being able to come into contact with the reed and which have a profile complementary to that of the external surface of the reed.
  • the transverse recess 21 in which the axis of the ligature tightening member is engaged (not shown) is offset according to the thickness of the member 20, so as to be closer to one of the faces than the other. According to the face which comes into contact with the reed, it is thus possible to use this same member with reeds of two different thicknesses.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates another possibility of mounting the ligature which has just been described with reference to the preceding figures.
  • the body 3 of the ligature is directly supported on the reed 2 by the ring portions 3 a , while the wedging element 14, which then follows the shape of the clarinet mouthpiece, is supported thereon.
  • Figure 7 shows another embodiment of the invention.
  • the bodies already described are designated by the same reference numbers as in the previous figures assigned the index '.
  • the two ring portions 3 ′ a of the body 3 ′ are arranged in substantially parallel planes, perpendicular to the axis of the spout 1 ′, and their ends are joined by spacers 25 parallel to the axis, which are supported laterally against the wedging element 14 '.
  • the parts of the spacers 25 contiguous to the zone of connection of these and of the rings 3 ' a carry hollow members (4', 5 '), joined by two axes 10' similar to the axes 10 of the embodiment described above , which are actuated by levers 13 'and similarly housed in parallel recesses of the wedging element 14'.
  • the invention therefore provides an extremely simple and particularly easy to actuate means for fixing a reed on the beak of a wind instrument, since it suffices to rotate by an angle of at most 180 °, in one direction or in the other, the lever or any other control member with which the axis of the ligature is fitted, to obtain the desired result.
