Definitions

  • the invention relates to brass instruments with a Cylinder machine, whose trains by rotating in valve parts Switch can be switched on and off.
  • This is essentially the trumpets, flugelhorns, alto and tenor horns, the Barytones, valve trombones, French horns, double horns, pistons and Tubes to count.
  • the is by blowing generated height of the natural tone of the instrument with Help a mechanic through which a longer or shorter Pipe piece, the so-called train, of fixed length, into the sound tube the wind instrument is switched on or off, changed.
  • Each valve includes one Hollow cylinder with a circular outer cross section, the Lateral surface openings for the connection of connecting pieces, leading to the trains of the instrument.
  • the associated trains alternate into the sound tube of the Instrument for changing the natural tone switched on.
  • the pivoting bills include a metal axis that aligned with the longitudinal central axis of the hollow cylinder and whose top surface penetrates to at its over the top surface protruding end connected with a lever linkage to become the one exercised on a pusher button Transfers the player's finger pressure to the change and this causes a rotary movement in the hollow cylinder.
  • the Shape of each change and the shape of the recess of it surrounding hollow cylinders must be coordinated be that between the change and the inner wall of the Hollow cylinder has little play, i.e. that the Shell surface of the change when rotating in the hollow cylinder slides along its inner wall, but the touch of the adjacent, opposite surface areas so is small that when the valve is closed, no air can get through the valve.
  • the inventor has now set himself the task of a brass instrument to create that over the conventional Instruments a greater fit of the valves and also has a higher ease of maintenance.
  • the application also includes a component for Cylinder machines of a brass instrument, the result is characterized in that a trained in a conventional manner Change used in a valve part and with it is connected to a unit, the valve part in the form a hollow body is formed, the inner wall of the Outside wall of the bill is adjusted and in it Lateral surface of these penetrating openings are provided, their diameter with the alternating recesses are coordinated.
  • This grinding process which requires a high degree of accuracy, can now be carried out on the component separate from the instrument. In this case, a visual inspection is always possible, but this can no longer be carried out with the conventional instruments in which the change to the valve part integrated into the instrument, hollow cylinder, has to be installed. Thus, a higher adjustment accuracy can be achieved with the help of the prefabricated component.
  • Another advantage is that the component is manufactured independently of the instrument and only has to be inserted into the finished instrument during final assembly. This eliminates the grinding-in requirements of the valve part, which was previously built into the instrument, which made the manufacture of an instrument difficult, since critical dimension tolerances no longer have to be observed for the valve receiving housing. The last step is therefore very simple and can be carried out in the shortest possible time, since it is only a matter of assembly work, because nothing needs to be changed in the components to be used in the form of complete valves.
  • the invention shown in longitudinal section in Fig. 1 Component 1 is shown in an exploded view in FIG. 2.
  • the component 1 comprises a change 2 of conventional design with a longitudinal central axis 3, which is in a circular cylindrical Part 4 extended, which is shown in the Example with two opposing recesses 5 is provided, whose shape in longitudinal section as circular sections is recognizable.
  • 2a is the shape of the change 2 in a position rotated by 90 °. From this leaves the course of the recesses 5 serving as air channels recognize that when playing at the player's hand actuated pusher (not shown) change 2 with the Connect the associated train.
  • the longitudinal central axis 3 of the change protrudes with its upper one End 3a, the change pin, far above the cylindrical part 4 beyond.
  • the end 3a is in an internal thread of the end 3a screwed pivot lever, the so-called Wing 40 with the lever linkage (not shown), which leads to the pusher of the instrument, connected.
  • the lower End 3b of the longitudinal central axis 3 is used for adjustment and Storage of bills of exchange 2.
  • a valve part 9 is here as a circular cylindrical hollow body trained in the coat 10 four, two each opposite circular bores 11 are provided are.
  • the diameter of these holes 11 corresponds to the Execution described here exactly the diameter of the Circular section of the recesses 5 of the change 2. Die
  • the height of the jacket 10 of the valve part 9 is such that with change 2 inserted into the valve part 9, the openings 11 coincide with the recesses 5 of the change 2.
  • the clear width of the valve part 9 is only slightly larger than the transverse diameter of the change 2, so that this can be rotated with only little friction in the valve part 9 is.
  • the valve part 9 is closed with a cover cap 12, which is integral with the valve part 9 here.
  • a cover cap 12 In the Cover cap 12 is in the middle of an upstanding Guide bushing 13, the inside diameter of which is slightly larger is than the diameter of the longitudinal central axis 3 of the change 2 and therefore as an upper bearing seat for the change pin 3a of the Change 2 is used as soon as it is in the valve part 9 is used.
  • a detonator cover 18 is used to support the end 3b Longitudinal axis 3 of the change 2 fitted to this end 3b and also serves for the axial adjustment of the change 2.
  • valve housing 16 is a valve housing designated.
  • This valve housing 16 is one with the not shown instrument firmly connected hollow cylindrical Part that in the example four pipe sockets 17th having.
  • the valve housing 16 of a valve set are interconnected according to Fig. 3.
  • the inside diameter the valve housing 16 is slightly larger than that Outer diameter of the cylindrical valve part 9.
  • the change 2 is inserted exactly into the valve part 9.
  • the detonator cover 18 serves as the lower bearing seat of the Sens 2.
  • the grinding process can then be carried out on the two Components 2 and 9 performed with great accuracy be there as long as these two are pushed into each other Components 2 and 9 have not yet been installed in the instrument are, a visual inspection is still possible and one carry out appropriate rework without difficulty leaves.
  • the one completed regardless of the instrument Assembly 2,9,18 can then be integrated in the instrument Valve housing 16 are used. This montage is from above in the embodiment shown in the example carried out. Below the lid 12 is on Cylinder jacket 10 an adjusting pin 19. This is in a corresponding recess 20 in the valve receptacle housing 16 admitted.
  • the component 1 according to the invention is comprehensive the valve part 9 with change 2 and detonator cover 18 to one fully functional valve that acts in a simple manner can be built into the finished instrument by everyone can be carried out without further adjustment activities it is especially for the player of the Instrumentes possible, the valve for cleaning or oiling remove and install yourself.
  • Fig.4a that is built into the valve housing 9 Component 1 shown without parts 40 and 41.
  • Fig. 4b First of all unscrewed the screw cap 8, Fig. 4b, then the Components 2 and 9 with snap lid 18 upwards from the Valve holder housing 16 pulled out, Fig. 4c. After this the detonating cover 18 seated in the valve part 9 with an interference fit is removed, the change 2 from the valve part 9 be pulled out.
  • components 30 are shown, which 1 to 3 largely correspond. The difference lies solely in the fact that these components 30 are not from above forth, but from the bottom up in their valve housing 31 can be inserted.
  • the change is completely correct with the change 2 according to FIG. 2 agree and therefore need not be described in more detail.
  • the Valve part 32 has due to the other assembly slight differences compared to the valve part 9.
  • the outer edge of the cover 34 integral with the jacket 33 closes with the generatrix, i.e. the cover 34 protrudes not laterally over the cylindrical part of the valve part 32 beyond.
  • an external thread 35 is provided, after which the insertion of the valve member 32 into the valve housing 31 a screw ring 37 is screwed on.
  • Adjustment pin 38 is provided, which in a corresponding Recess 36 of the valve housing 31 engages to the exact fit of the component 30, including the valve part 32 with the change 2 and the detonator cover 18 in the valve housing 31 to ensure.
