Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dual single reed module, in particular provided to be placed in a two-way wind instrument wind like an accordion.
  • an accordion includes two boxes connected by a bellows forming a speaker. On each of these boxes, in the enclosure, there are tables of harmony provided with openings, release and shutter mechanisms of these openings. These soundboards generally carry several box springs which are supports for many modules also called "music" in the domain of accordion manufacturers. These modules are placed opposite the openings to be crossed or not by the air flows generated by the bellows, depending on the keys pressed.
  • Each module is in fact the sound production element and includes a blade holder.
  • a module includes two windows, each with a slat fixed by a of its ends provided with a heel on said blade holder. The blade extends by its free part also called tab in this window.
  • This tab vibrated by the air flow passing through the window, used to produce sounds.
  • each module includes, for the same note two windows and two blades for each of the two possible wind directions.
  • One of slats are riveted on one side of the module opposite the first window and the other blade is riveted on the other face opposite the other window.
  • Each window is provided, on the face of the module opposite to that which carries the blade a valve, generally made of flexible material, more particularly leather.
  • the corresponding blade is put in vibration and produces the note while the valve on the other window limits the air leakage by the other window.
  • German patent No. 34 13 382 describes a reed which can operate in the two directions, the tongue remaining in the same position and the complete frame being moved on either side of the plane of the tongue to respect a certain dissymmetry.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a musical module with a single dual reed, that is to say that works in both directions of the wind.
  • This module as presented in the description which follows, can be implemented industrially. This module overcomes the constraints related to maintenance, considerably reduces the number of pieces because in addition to dividing by two the number of blades, the valves are eliminated as well as the associated fixing and / or elastic return elements.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a box spring 10 of the prior art supporting several modules 12.
  • Each module includes a blade holder 14 with two windows 16 formed through said blade holder, a blade 18 fixed on each face of the blade holder, opposite the corresponding window, each blade having a heel 20 and a tongue 22 capable of vibrating freely in the window 16 associated.
  • Each heel 20 is fixed to the blade holder preferably by a rivet 24 which has the advantage of not unscrewing under the effects of vibrations.
  • each blade is curved towards the outside of the blade holder, so as to leave a gap i between the plane of said blade and the plan of the blade holder.
  • the dimensions of the blade holders are 18 to 50 mm long for 2 to 5 mm in wide and 2 to 5 mm thick to give orders of ideas.
  • the tongues are a few tenths of a millimeter thick.
  • the module 30 according to the present invention is shown diagrammatically on the figure 2.
  • This module 30 includes a blade holder 32 with a window 34.
  • a blade 36 having a heel 38 is fixed with a rivet 40 on said blade holder thus that a tongue 42 which is free to vibrate in the window 34.
  • movable flaps 44 On either side of the longitudinal edges of the tongue 42, there are provided movable flaps 44.
  • the heel 38 is arranged in superposition on the blade holder.
  • the fixing must be perfectly rigid, which is the case with the rivet 40.
  • the tongue is deformed to be placed to part of its thickness in the window.
  • the heel is indeed above the plane window out of necessity and the tab should be at least partly in the thickness of the blade holder.
  • Two ribs 46 extend over the entire length of each flap, in the plan of each face of the dihedral. These ribs are designed to come respectively by pressing on the corresponding edge of window 34, above and below.
  • flaps are movable in rotation relative to the blade holder about an axis 48, parallel to the longitudinal edge of the tongue.
  • This axis must imperatively be placed in the median plane of the tongue, to ensure symmetry.
  • angular sector is roughly a quarter of a cylinder because it takes be able to materially include axis 48, which is at the geometric center of the curved part, except to offset the axis of rotation outside the section of the shutter.
  • the elements are identical to those of the previous section plane, except for the edge of the portion of cylinder along which a chamfer 50 is formed.
  • This chamfer advantageously, is more and more marked as one moves away from the heel towards the end of the tongue.
  • This chamfer is drawn plan but it can be hollow or more complex in shape without modifying this invention knowing that it is necessary to create a gap, between each of the shutters and the blade.
  • this gap of variable dimensions along the tongue is asymmetrical and allows the blade to vibrate, although the surface neutral of this blade is flat.
  • the upper rib 46 bears on the upper face of the blade holder or on an attached stop.
  • the interstice of variable dimensions being in this embodiment, more large dimensions at the end of the tongue, causes a setting more effective vibration of said tongue.
  • Figures 3A to 3D show the position of the different parts for a direction of wind.
  • the gaps are symmetrically arranged and the blade can enter vibration in the same way as before but in the opposite direction of the wind.
  • Such shutters can cause noise parasites during pivoting, especially when they are abrupt. Even if such noise is only noticeable by trained ears, it is necessary be able to resolve this imperfection.
  • the blade holder 32 and the flaps 44 are provided with means 52 air flow dampers.
  • Such means take the form of a wall 54 projecting, coming from manufacture with the blade holder.
  • This wall is of profile conjugated with the shape of each rib 46 to generate an air cushion 56 which is trapped in a leaking volume controlled. As shown in FIG. 5A, this air leaks but this slight setting temporary overpressure, for an extremely short time, nevertheless generates a cushioning air cushion.
  • the symmetrical arrangement allows damping in the two positions of work of each component.
  • FIG. 5B there is a variant of the damping means under form of a groove 46-1 cooperating with the wall 52-1 projecting from the blade holder to make an air cushion 56-1.
  • This flap is made from a central core 58 and radial fins 60.
  • Figure 5C shows an even lighter variant with a core but only two radial fins. It is then necessary to increase the height of the projecting walls so that the fins provide a certain seal without leaving a free passage to the air.
  • This variant with two fins can also be provided with means noise dampers.
  • the latter are also dropouts which generate the formation of an air cushion.
  • the arrangement according to the present invention makes it possible to overcome the drawbacks modules of the prior art since it makes it possible to obtain a single dual reed. Many advantages result from the implementation of such modules, especially for the manufacture of accordion type instruments.
  • the blade holder must be mass to the right of the heel fixation, for the part located on the periphery of the tongue and flaps, the volume of material required can be greatly reduced, by clipping around the moving parts, namely the flaps.
  • the blade 42 was deformed to be integrated partially in window 34. This blade can be kept in the plane of the heel without any difficulty. It then suffices to provide mounting bearings 62 axes 48, on the upper face of the blade holder. Such bearings can be came from molding without any difficulty.
  • the condition is to respect a positioning of axes 48 in the median plane of the blade at rest.
  • FIG. 6 an alternative positioning of the axes of the flaps has been produced. above the blade holder like the blade itself.
  • the heel, the tongue, the axes of the flaps are in the same plane.
  • the bearings 62 are then projecting. They may have come from molding with the blade holder.
  • the heel 38 is provided with two cutouts 38-1 capable of receiving the axes 48 of the flaps.
  • a 38-2 plate is attached to the top of the heel, which allows constitute a blind housing to receive the axes. This brochure is taken and held by the rivet 40 with the heel.
  • the 38-2 plate provides better heel support, which also allows to limit the reed's movements because these movements are not necessarily symmetrical in both directions of the wind.
  • the proposed arrangement includes movable components in rotation because the pivoting around an axis is currently the simplest and generates the least friction and the least wear. These are parameters important if rapid change is to be achieved without inertia of the flap position when the wind direction is reversed and durability satisfactory for hundreds of thousands of cycles.
  • the mobile elements in this case the flaps 44 must have a shape which surrounds the tongue including its end.
  • the shape of the shutters is necessarily more complex and the production industrial must use molding rather than extrusion.
  • the flaps can easily be produced by extrusion, in different sizes in according to the dimensions of the slides and therefore the types of notes, then to be debited at the length of these wire parts obtained.
  • the production of chamfers can easily be industrialized, just like the fixing of the axes.
