Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Tragevorrichtung für ein Blasinstrument insbesondere für ein Saxophon oder ein saxophonartiges Blasinstrument.The invention relates to a carrying device for a wind instrument, in particular for a saxophone or a saxophone wind instrument.

Als Tragevorrichtungen für ein Saxophon sind allgemein Halterungen aus einem etwa 2 cm breitem Band bekannt, die über den Kopf um den Hals gelegt werden und die Form einer Schlinge haben, und an deren gegenüberliegenden freien Enden ein beweglicher Haken angebracht ist, der das jeweilige Blasinstrument hält. Der Nachteil dieser Halsschlingen insbesondere bei längerer Spieldauer und schwereren Instrumenten ist, dass das Gewicht des Blasinstrumentes am Nacken bzw. Halswirbel zieht und die Hals- und Schultermuskulatur stark beansprucht, was langfristig Saxophonspieler als unangenehm und störend empfinden und was zu Nacken- und Kopfschmerzen führen kann. Weitere bekannte Arten von Tragevorrichtungen bestehen aus einem Brustgurtsystem mit zwei Schlaufen, welche die Schultern umfassen und vor der Brust zusammenlaufen, wo das Instrument eingehängt wird. Manche dieser Brustgurtsysteme weisen noch einen in das Gurtensystem integrierten Gürtel zur Stabilisierung der Tragevorrichtung auf. Der Nachteil bei den Brustgurtsystemen besteht darin, dass das Instrument nicht in ausreichendem Masse vom Körper wegbewegt werden kann, und dass es den Brustkorb beim Atmen behindert, so dass nach einiger Spielzeit ein unbeschwertes Spielen nicht mehr möglich ist. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, dass das Gurtensystem in einer Spielpause nicht einfach abgelegt werden kann. Es braucht Zeit und einigen Aufwand, die Brustgurten anzulegen bzw. abzuziehen. Ausserdem sind die Brustgurten nicht besonders ansehnlich, was gerade von professionellen Spielern bei Auftritten als störend empfunden wird.As support devices for a saxophone holders are generally known from an approximately 2 cm wide band, which are placed over the head around the neck and have the shape of a loop, and at its opposite free ends a movable hook is attached, which holds the respective wind instrument , The disadvantage of these neck loops, especially with longer playing time and heavier instruments is that the weight of the wind instrument pulls on the neck or cervical vertebrae and the neck and shoulder muscles heavily stressed, which in the long term saxophone players feel uncomfortable and disturbing and which can lead to neck and headaches , Other known types of carrying devices consist of a chest strap system with two loops that span the shoulders and converge in front of the chest where the instrument is hung. Some of these Brustgurtsysteme still have a belt integrated in the belt system for stabilizing the carrying device. The disadvantage of the Brustgurtsystemen is that the instrument can not be sufficiently moved away from the body, and that it obstructs the chest while breathing, so that after some play time a carefree playing is no longer possible. Another disadvantage is that the belt system in a game break can not be easily stored. It takes time and some effort to put on or remove the chest straps. Besides, the chest straps are not special handsome, which is currently perceived by professional players at appearances as disturbing.

Die US 2005/0145094 beschreibt eine Tragevorrichtung für ein Trompete, mit zwei nach obenragenden, U-formis gekrümmten Arnen. Die Aufhängung für die Trompete befindet sich in Bauchbereich, was den Blasinstrument-Spieler behindert.The US 2005/0145094 describes a carrying device for a trumpet, with two upwardly projecting, U-shaped curved arenas. The suspension for the trumpet is located in the abdominal area, which impedes the wind instrument player.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Tragevorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die den Blasinstrument-Spieler in keiner Weise behindert, und ein langes und unbeeinträchtigtes Spielen ermöglicht.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a carrying device of the type mentioned, which obstructs the wind instrument player in any way, and allows a long and unimpaired playing.

Diese Aufgabe wird von einer Tragevorrichtung für ein Blasinstrument mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a carrying device for a wind instrument with the features of claim 1.

Die Tragevorrichtung besteht aus drei Armen, die ein Y-förmiges Gestell bilden. Die beiden nach oben ragenden Arme sind an ihren freien Enden bogenförmig ausgebildet, so dass sie über die Schultern des Spielers einhängbar sind. Der dritte nach unten ragende Arm der Tragevorrichtung liegt mit seinem freien Ende im Bauchbereich des Spielers auf: Die drei Arme sind entweder einstückig zu einer Einheit miteinander verbunden oder laufen in einem Verbindungselement, in dem die Arme eingesteckt oder an dem die Arme schwenkbar angelenkt sind, zusammen. Das Blasinstrument wird mittels einer Schnur oder eines Bandes an einem im Bereich der Verbindung der drei Arme angeordneten Halteelement angehängt. Die Tragevorrichtung ist sehr leicht und kann mit einem Handgriff angelegt bzw. abgelegt werden. Sie behindert den Spieler in keiner Weise und erlaubt grösstmögliche Mobilität beim Spielen.The carrying device consists of three arms that form a Y-shaped frame. The two upwardly projecting arms are arcuately formed at their free ends so that they can be hung over the shoulders of the player. The third downwardly projecting arm of the carrying device rests with its free end in the abdominal region of the player: the three arms are either connected in one piece to form a unit or run in a connecting element in which the arms are inserted or on which the arms are pivotally connected, together. The wind instrument is attached by means of a cord or a band to a holding element arranged in the region of the connection of the three arms. The carrying device is very light and can be created or stored with a handle. It does not hinder the player in any way and allows maximum mobility while playing.

In den Figuren sind für dieselben Elemente jeweils dieselben Bezugszeichen verwendet worden und erstmalige Erklärungen betreffen alle Figuren, wenn nicht ausdrücklich anders erwähnt.In the figures, the same reference numerals have been used for the same elements and first explanations apply to all figures, unless expressly stated otherwise.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine beispielsweise Ausführung der erfindungsgemässen Tragevorrichtung 1. Die Vorrichtung 1 besteht aus einem Y-förmigen Gestell, das im Wesentlichen von drei Armen gebildet ist, mit zwei nach oben ragenden Armen 2, 2', die an ihren freien Enden 9 bogenförmig ausgebildet sind, und einem dritten, nach unten ragenden Arm, der eine Stütze 4 bildet. Die beiden Arme 2, 2' und die Stütze 4 laufen in einem Verbindungselement 3 zusammen, wo sie fest miteinander verbunden sind. Das Tragegestell 1 kann einstückig oder mehrteilig ausgebildet sein. Besteht die Tragevorrichtung aus drei Einzelteilen, den beiden Armen 2,2' und der Stütze 4, so sind diese mittels des Verbindungselementes 3 miteinander verbunden, wobei das Verbindungselement 3 vorteilsweise fest mit der Stütze 4 verbunden ist bzw. am oberen Ende der Stütze 4 angeformt ist. Die Arme 2, 2' sind in entsprechende Ausnehmungen in das Verbindungselement 3 lösbar eingesteckt und eingerastet, so dass sie im eingerasteten Zustand nicht verschwenkbar sind. Die Arme 2,2' können für den Transport der Tragevorrichtung aus dem Verbindungselement 3 gezogen werden. Die drei Einzelteile der Tragevorrichtung 2, 2', 4 sind dann einfacher zu transportieren als im zusammengesteckten Zustand. Die bogenförmig ausgebildeten freien Enden 9 der Arme 2, 2' sind zur Auflage auf den Schultern des Spielers vorgesehen. Zu diesem Zweck können sie beispielsweise abgeflacht, wie in der Zeichnung dargestellt, oder zur Vermeidung von Druckstellen auch gepolstert sein. Am Verbindungselement 3 ist ein Befestigungselement 18, zum Beispiel eine Öse vorgesehen, an der das Blasinstrument mit Haltemitteln 5, zum Beispiel einer Schnur oder eines Bandes 6 eingehängt oder befestigt werden kann. Das längsverstellbare Band 6 weist am freien Ende einen Haken 7 zum Einhängen des Blasinstrumentes auf. Am unteren freien Ende der Stütze 4 weist diese eine angeformte Abstützung 8 auf, die auch von einer einfachen Verbreiterung der Stütze 4 im unteren Endbereich gebildet sein kann. Hat der Spieler die Tragevorrichtung 1 mit den bogenförmigen Enden 9 der Arme 2,2' über seine Schultern gehängt, so liegt die Abstützung 8 am Bauch etwas oberhalb des Nabels auf. Ein mit Haltemitteln 5 am Befestigungselement 18 eingehängtes Blasinstrument zieht aufgrund des Gewichtes nach unten. Der Zug wird nun einerseits von den Schultern aufgenommen, wo die Arme 2,2' aufliegen, andererseits liegt die Abstützung 8 am Bauch an. Der Spieler spürt beim Atmen während des Spielens einen leichten Gegendruck in der Bauchgegend. Besonders für Anfänger ist das von Vorteil, da sie dadurch einfach ihre Atmung kontrollieren und ihre Atmungstechnik verbessern können.The FIG. 1 shows an example embodiment of the inventive support device 1. The device 1 consists of a Y-shaped frame, which is essentially formed by three arms, with two upwardly projecting arms 2, 2 ', which are arc-shaped at their free ends 9, and a third, downwardly projecting arm which forms a support 4. The two arms 2, 2 'and the support 4 converge in a connecting element 3, where they are firmly connected. The support frame 1 may be formed in one piece or in several parts. If the carrying device consists of three individual parts, the two arms 2, 2 'and the support 4, these are connected to one another by means of the connecting element 3, wherein the connecting element 3 is advantageously firmly connected to the support 4 or formed at the upper end of the support 4 is. The arms 2, 2 'are detachably inserted and latched into corresponding recesses in the connecting element 3, so that they are not pivotable in the locked state. The arms 2, 2 'can be pulled out of the connecting element 3 for the transport of the carrying device. The three individual parts of the carrying device 2, 2 ', 4 are then easier to transport than in the assembled state. The arcuately shaped free ends 9 of the arms 2, 2 'are provided for support on the shoulders of the player. For this purpose, they can be flattened, for example, as shown in the drawing, or padded to avoid pressure points. On the connecting element 3, a fastening element 18, for example, provided an eyelet to which the wind instrument can be suspended or secured with holding means 5, for example a cord or a belt 6. The longitudinally adjustable band 6 has at the free end a hook 7 for hooking the wind instrument. At the lower free end of the support 4, this has a molded-on support 8, which may also be formed by a simple widening of the support 4 in the lower end region. If the player has hung the carrying device 1 with the bow-shaped ends 9 of the arms 2, 2 'over his shoulders, the support 8 lies on the abdomen just above the navel. A hinged with holding means 5 on the fastener 18 wind instrument pulls down due to the weight. The train is now taken on the one hand by the shoulders, where the arms 2,2 'rest, On the other hand, the support 8 abuts on the stomach. The player feels while breathing a slight back pressure in the abdominal region while breathing. This is especially beneficial for beginners as it allows them to easily control their breathing and improve their breathing technique.

Die Figur 2 zeigt eine beispielsweise Ausführung der Tragevorrichtung 1 mit einsteckbaren Armen 2,2'. Das an der Stütze 4 angeformte Verbindungselement 3 weist zwei Ausnehmungen 10 auf, die zur Aufnahme der Arme 2,2' bestimmt sind. Hierfür sind an den unteren Enden der Arme 2,2' Rastelemente 11 angeformt, die beim Einstecken in die Ausnehmungen 10 lösbar einrasten. Die eingesteckten und eingerasteten Arme 2,2' sind weder gegeneinander noch gegenüber der Stütze 4 schwenkbar. Somit sind die Arme 2,2' mit der Stütze 4 starr verbunden.The FIG. 2 shows an example embodiment of the carrying device 1 with plug-in arms 2,2 '. The integrally formed on the support 4 connecting element 3 has two recesses 10, which are intended to receive the arms 2,2 '. For this purpose, at the lower ends of the arms 2,2 'locking elements 11 are formed, which engage releasably when inserted into the recesses 10. The inserted and latched arms 2,2 'are neither against each other or against the support 4 pivotally. Thus, the arms are 2,2 'rigidly connected to the support 4.

Die Arme 2, 2', der Tragevorrichtung 1 können auch schwenkbar mit der Stütze 8 verbunden sein. Eine derartige Ausführungsvariante zeigt die Figur 3 in einer Schrägansicht. Die beiden Arme 2, 2' sind mittels einer scharnierartigen Verbindung an das an die Stütze 4 angeformte Verbindungselement 3 angelenkt. Zu diesem Zweck weist das Verbindungselement 3 zwei schlitzförmige Ausnehmungen auf, in welche die Enden 14 der Arme 2,2' eingreifen und dort mittels eines Stifts 12, der die Drehachse für den Arm 2, 2' bildet, gehalten ist. Diese scharnierartige Verbindung erlaubt nur einen beschränkten Öffnungswinkel für die Arme 2,2'. Sind nämlich die Arme 2,2' in gestreckter Position gegenüber der Stütze 4, so liegen die Enden 14 der Arme 2,2' innen an der Ausnehmung des Verbindungselementes 3 an. Die Arme 2,2' und die Stütze 4 sind daher nur nach innen verschwenkbar und weisen die für das Abstützen bei der Belastung der Tragevorrichtung 1 erforderliche Steifheit in der Gegenrichtung auf.The arms 2, 2 ', the carrying device 1 can also be pivotally connected to the support 8. Such a variant shows the FIG. 3 in an oblique view. The two arms 2, 2 'are articulated by means of a hinge-like connection to the integrally formed on the support 4 connecting element 3. For this purpose, the connecting element 3 has two slot-shaped recesses, in which the ends 14 of the arms 2, 2 'engage and are held there by means of a pin 12 which forms the axis of rotation for the arm 2, 2'. This hinge-like connection allows only a limited opening angle for the arms 2,2 '. Namely, the arms are 2,2 'in the extended position relative to the support 4, so are the ends 14 of the arms 2,2' inside of the recess of the connecting element 3 at. The arms 2, 2 'and the support 4 are therefore pivotable only inwards and have the necessary rigidity in the opposite direction for supporting the load of the carrying device 1.

In der Figur 4 ist die Tragevorrichtung 1 mit am Verbindungselement 3 angelenkten Armen 2, 2' im zusammengeklappten Zustand gezeigt. In dieser Position kann die Tragevorrichtung einfach verpackt und transportiert werden. Für den Gebrauch der Tragevorrichtung 1 werden die beiden Arme 2,2' hochgeklappt und mit ihren bogenförmigen freien Enden 9 über die Schultern gehängt. Jetzt muss nur noch das Instrument mit der Schnur 6 und dem Haken 7 an die Tragevorrichtung gehängt werden. Ebenso einfach kann nach dem Spielen oder in einer Spielpause mit einem Handgriff die Tragevorrichtung 1 abgelegt werden.In the FIG. 4 is the carrying device 1 with articulated on the connecting element 3 arms 2, 2 'shown in the folded state. In this position, the carrying device can be easily packaged and transported. For the use of the carrying device 1, the two arms 2,2 'are folded up and hung with their arcuate free ends 9 over the shoulders. Now only the instrument with the cord 6 and the hook 7 has to be hung on the carrying device. Just as easily after playing or in a game break with a handle, the carrying device 1 are stored.

Die Figur 5 zeigte eine weitere Ausführungsform der Tragevorrichtung 1, bei der die Arme 2, 2' ebenfalls mittels einer scharnierartigen Verbindung an Verbindungselement 3 angelenkt sind. Dabei sind die beiden schlitzförmigen Ausnehmungen 16, in welche die Enden 14 der Arme 2,2' eingreifen, derart angeordnet, dass die beiden Arme 2, 2' seitlich abklappbar sind. Die Klapprichtung ist mit den Pfeilen 15 in der Zeichnung angedeutet. Diese scharnierartige Verbindung erlaubt nur ein seitliches Schwenken der Arme 2,2'. In Richtung zum Körper des Trägers der Tragevorrichtung 1 und in Gegenrichtung sind die Arme 2, 2' und die Stütze 4 gegeneinander nicht schwenkbar. Die Tragevorrichtung 1 hat so genügend Steifheit, dass ein an der Tragevorrichtung eingehängtes Blasinstrument nicht nur an den Armen 2,2' hängt, sondern dass ein Teil des Gewichtes über die Stütze 4 abgestützt wird.The FIG. 5 showed a further embodiment of the support device 1, in which the arms 2, 2 'are also articulated by means of a hinge-like connection to connecting element 3. In this case, the two slot-shaped recesses 16, in which engage the ends 14 of the arms 2,2 ', arranged such that the two arms 2, 2' are laterally hinged. The folding direction is indicated by the arrows 15 in the drawing. This hinge-like connection allows only a lateral pivoting of the arms 2,2 '. Towards the body of the wearer of the carrying device 1 and in the opposite direction, the arms 2, 2 'and the support 4 against each other are not pivotable. The carrying device 1 has enough rigidity that a wind instrument mounted on the carrying device not only hangs on the arms 2, 2 ', but that part of the weight is supported by the support 4.

Durch das seitliche Abklappen der Arme 2, 2' ist die Tragevorrichtung kompakt zusammenlegbar und einfach zu verpacken und zu transportieren. Die Figur 6 zeigt eine derartige zusammengeklappte Tragevorrichtung 1. Für den Gebrauch der Tragevorrichtung 1 werden lediglich die beiden Arme 2,2' seitlich hochgeklappt, über die Schultern gehängt und das Instrument an die Tragevorrichtung 1 angehängt.By the lateral folding of the arms 2, 2 ', the carrying device is compactly collapsible and easy to pack and transport. The FIG. 6 shows such a folded carrying device 1. For the use of the carrying device 1, only the two arms are 2,2 'laterally folded up, hung over the shoulders and attached the instrument to the support device 1.

Die Figur 7 zeigt schematisch dargestellt einen Spieler mit der Tragevorrichtung 1 und einem daran eingehängtem Musikinstrument 15 in einer Schrägansicht. Die Tragevorrichtung 1 hängt mit den bogenförmigen Enden 9 der Arme 2,2' auf den Schultern des Spielers. Die Stütze 4 liegt mit der Abstützung 8 am Bauch des Spielers auf. Das an der Tragevorrichtung 1 eingehängte Blasinstrument 17 kann frei bewegt werden, behindert den Spieler in keiner Weise in seiner Mobilität beim Spielen und der Spieler spürt das Gewicht des Instrumentes kaum auf den Schultern.The FIG. 7 schematically shows a player with the support device 1 and an attached musical instrument 15 in an oblique view. The carrying device 1 hangs with the arcuate ends 9 of the arms 2,2 'on the shoulders of the player. The support 4 rests with the support 8 on the stomach of the player. The suspended on the support device 1 wind instrument 17 can be moved freely, does not hinder the player in any way in his mobility while playing and the player hardly feels the weight of the instrument on the shoulders.

In der Figur 8 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform der Tragvorrichtung 1 gezeigt. Die Arme 2, 2' sind aus Aluminium gefertigt, um sie durch Biegen an die Körperform des Spielers leicht anpassen kann. Die Enden 9 der Arme 2,2' sind mit einer Gummi-Polsterung 9a versehen, um den Tragekomfort zu verbessern. Die Stütze 4 weist einen Teleskopauszug 4a mit einer Rasterung auf. Damit kann die Länge der Stütze 4 variiert und optimal an die Körpergrösse des Spielers angepasst werden. Ausserdem kann für den Transport der Teleskopauszug 4a in den oberen Teil der Stütze 4 - wie mit dem Pfeil angedeutet - eingeschoben werden. Die Abstützung 8 ist drehbar und in einem kleinen Bereich auch schwenkbar am unteren Ende des Teleskopauszugs 4a der Stütze 4 angeordnet. Der Pfeil in der Zeichnung gibt die Drehrichtung an. Dadurch dass die Abstützung 8 beweglich, d.h. verdrehbar an der Stütze 4 angeordnet ist, lässt sich die Vorrichtung auch dichter für den Transport zusammenpacken. Der aus Stahl mit Kunststoffummantelung gefertigte Haken 7 zum Einhängen des Blasinstrumentes weist, wie aus den Figuren 8a, 8b zu erkennen ist, eine Sicherung auf. Diese Sicherung soll ein ungewolltes Aushängen des Hakens 7 aus der Öse am Instrument 17 während des Spielens verhindern. Die Sicherung wird durch eine Verengung zwischen den beiden Schenkeln des u-förmigen Hakens 7 gebildet und besteht aus einem Nocken 13, welcher an der Innenseite des u-förmigen Hakens 7 angeformt ist, oder welcher am freien Ende einer an der Innenseite des u-förmigen Hakens 7 angeordneten Federzunge angeformt ist.In the FIG. 8 a further embodiment of the support device 1 is shown. The arms 2, 2 'are made of aluminum to easily adapt by bending to the body shape of the player. The ends 9 of the arms 2, 2 'are provided with a rubber padding 9a to improve the wearing comfort. The support 4 has a telescopic extension 4a with a screening. Thus, the length of the support 4 can be varied and optimally adapted to the body size of the player. In addition, for the transport of the telescopic extension 4a in the upper part of the support 4 - as indicated by the arrow - are inserted. The support 8 is rotatable and arranged in a small area and pivotally at the lower end of the telescopic extension 4a of the support 4. The arrow in the drawing indicates the direction of rotation. Because the support 8 is arranged movably, ie rotatably, on the support 4, the device can also be packed more tightly for transport. The made of steel with plastic sheath hook 7 for hooking the wind instrument has, as from the Figures 8a, 8b to recognize a fuse on. This backup is intended to prevent unwanted unhooking of the hook 7 from the eyelet on the instrument 17 during play. The fuse is formed by a constriction between the two legs of the U-shaped hook 7 and consists of a cam 13 which is formed on the inside of the U-shaped hook 7, or which at the free end of a on the inside of the U-shaped Hakens 7 arranged spring tongue is formed.

Die Tragevorrichtung kann beispielsweise vollständig aus Kunststoff oder wie in Figur 8 gezeigt zumindest teilweise aus Metall gefertigt sein. Aufgrund des einfachen Aufbaues und des geringen Materialaufwandes weist die Tragevorrichtung 1 ein geringes Eigengewicht auf und behindert den Blasinstrument-Spieler in keiner Weise, was ein langes und unbeeinträchtigtes Spielen ermöglicht. Sie kann mit einem Handgriff angelegt bzw. abgelegt werden. Je nach Ausgestaltung und Formgebung der Arme 2,2', der Stütze 4 sowie der Schulterauflage im bogenförmigen Bereich 9 wird die erfindungsgemässe Tragevorrichtung 1 in einfachsten Modellen oder in ästhetisch anspruchsvollen Modellen ihrer Aufgabe gerecht, den Blasinstrument-Spieler beim Halten seines Instrumentes zu unterstützen ohne ihn dabei zu hindern oder einzuschränken.For example, the carrying device may be made entirely of plastic or as shown in FIG FIG. 8 be shown at least partially made of metal. Due to the simple structure and the low cost of materials, the carrying device 1 has a low weight and hinders the wind instrument player in any way, allowing a long and undisturbed games. It can be created or stored with one touch. Depending on the design and shape of the arms 2,2 ', the support 4 and the Shoulder support in the arcuate region 9, the carrying device 1 according to the invention in its simplest models or in aesthetically sophisticated models its task to support the wind instrument player while holding his instrument without hindering or restricting it.
