Definitions
- the present invention relates to improvements brought to ligatures for reed wind instrument mouthpiece simple. It relates more particularly to a ligature for wind instrument mouthpiece comprising a wedging element and distribution of the clamping forces, based on the reed or on the mouthpiece of the instrument.
- the ligature is split according to one of its generators, and assembly means such as screws and threaded bores are provided on the two parts which are face each other, to make them interdependent of each other and thus causing a tightening action of the reed.
- ligatures can include several clamping screws (see FR-A-2 438 311) or a single clamping screw (see US-A-3,618,440, or the patent application French not yet published N ° 94 14025, of November 3 1994).
- These ligatures preferably include an element rigid curved profile complementary to that of the spout clarinet or reed, which serves as a setting element and is interposed between the beak or the reed and the parts of the ligature arranged opposite, so as to be applied usually by this against the beak or reed.
- GB-A-668 002 describes a ligature in which a removable wedging element interposed between the reed and the ligature collar, rests on the reed under the stress of the collar, when tightening this using the usual clamping screw on the ligature.
- the clamping force exerted by the screw in the direction of its axis is thus transformed into pressure exerted on the wedging element interposed between the body of the ligature and the beak or reed of the instrument, perpendicular to the beak, which translates by an even more balanced distribution of efforts exerted by the ligature on the beak and the reed of the instrument.
- the wedging element usually comprises on its surface facing the reed or the beak of the raised parts deformable, for example ribs obtained by stamping of this surface, which contribute to a better distribution of the clamping forces and / or at a improved reed timing on the instrument.
- the wedging element is generally rigidly integral with the ligature and, for this purpose, it includes a part projecting between the opposite parts of the ligature and comprising one or more lights in which is or are engaged the clamping screws joining these two parts.
- the wedging element is integral with the ligature
- the replacement operation of this element is impractical to implement and the instrumentalist can have an interest in replacing the ligature itself with a another ligature equipped with another wedging element. This supposes however that it has at its disposal several ligatures, which can be costly.
- the present invention aims to remedy this drawback by proposing a new ligature equipped with an element of removable wedging, which can be made integral with the ligature by simple clipping on one or more elements transversely joining the straight edges arranged in look of the ligature and, more particularly, on the or the tightening screws of this ligature, partly in projection of this wedging element engaged between the edges in look of the ligature.
- the invention relates to a ligature flexible in an elastically deformable material, suitable for equip the mouthpiece with a wind instrument, this ligature having a profile substantially complementary to that of the beak, so as to be able to grip it and an interposed reed between the beak and the ligature, two spaced parts of the ligature with respective edges arranged opposite and substantially parallel to the generatrices of the spout, these two parts being joined by at least one clamping screw arranged transversely between these two parts and cooperating with a threaded bore of at least one of these parts, said ligature comprising a rigid element of wedging of complementary shape of the reed or the mouthpiece the instrument, this element being removable and interposed between the remaining part of the ligature and this reed or this beak, this ligature being characterized in that the wedging element is adapted to be clipped to the ligature tightening screw (s).
- the projecting part of the wedging element may simply have one or more slots suitable for styling the tightening screw (s) and whose opening will have a spacing very slightly less than the diameter of the or screws and the width of the rest of the slot.
- the slot of this projecting part may also have a retractable element arranged transversely to the slot and able to retract against means return elastics such as a spring.
- the surface of the wedging element called to come in contact with the reed or with the beak may naturally have protruding parts of any shape, for example ribs arranged longitudinally or transversely to the beak, or any other profile, whether or not it has stamped this surface and able or not to deform under the clamping pressure.
- Such a wedging element capable of being made integral with ligation by clipping onto the clamping screw (s) constitutes, of course, another object of the invention.
- the ligature according to the invention therefore has the very great advantage, compared to the ligatures of the technique that the instrumentalist can replace very easily the wedging element with which it is equipped with a other wedging element, without having to perform any complicated operation.
- he may have, at a reduced cost, a whole set of removable wedging elements of the types different, suitable for being clipped onto the screw (s) tightening of a single ligature.
- the clarinet mouthpiece is designated by the reference 1, the reed by reference 2, and the body of the ligature intended to maintain the reed 2 on the beak 1 by the reference 3.
- the ligature body is made of a material elastically deformable, for example of metal or material plastic, and it has a generally cylindrical profile conforming to the shape of the beak 1 and the reed 2.
- the body of the ligature is split in 4, parallel to the generatrices of the mouthpiece and reed 2, so as to have two parts in gaze, which one can bring together or dismiss one of the other, to tighten or loosen the reed 2.
- the ligature body shown here is of the type which is the subject of the aforementioned French patent application No. 94 14025, but it could naturally be any other type.
- each of the parts facing the body 3 comprises a sheath, respectively 5 a , 5 b , in which is housed so as to be able to pivot freely around its axis a cylindrical element, respectively 6 a , 6 b .
- sheaths 5 a , 5 b are formed lights, 7 a , 7 b , while the elements 6 a , 6 b , comprise, drilled transversely opposite these lights, two bores 8 a , 8 b , internally threaded, the threads of the two bores having reversed pitch.
- a screw 9 comprising two offset threaded parts 9 a , 9 b , with reverse pitch threads, complementary to those of the bores 8 a , 8 b , is engaged in the latter, through the openings 7 a , 7 b , of the sleeves 5 a , 5 b .
- a wedging element 10 having a curved profile complementary to that of the reed 2, is interposed between the latter and the parts 5 a , 5 b of the ligature 3 and, according to the invention, it comprises a part in projection 11, engaged between parts 5 a and 5 b and of which a slot 12 is clipped onto the central part of smaller diameter 9 c of the screw 9, separating the threads 9 a and 9 b from the latter.
- the clipping is ensured in a simple manner by providing at the entrance to the slot 12 a spacing of the opposite parts slightly less than the diameter of the part 9 c and less than the normal width of the slot 12.
- a retractable element at the entrance to the slot 12, able to slide away under the stress of the part 9c of the screw 9 and to then be returned to position by a spring.
- the wedging element 10 which is shown larger scale in Figure 3, has, in two planes perpendicular to the axis of the spout 1, ribs 13, making protruding towards the spout and allowing tightening progressive reed.
- the ribs 14 are longitudinal, i.e. parallel to the axis of the spout 1 ', while in the variant of Figure 5, where the organs already described are also designated by the same reference figures, but affected by the index ", the element 10 "wedging no longer has ribs, but projecting parts 15, coming from deformation of the element 10 ".
- the element of wedging can be supported not against the reed 2, but against the very beak of the instrument, of which it then has a shape complementary.
- the same ligature could thus be sold with a whole lot of elements of interchangeable timing as the musician, professional or amateur, will choose according to the piece of music he interpreter.
