Description

SUPPORT POUR TAMBOUR MUSICAL  SUPPORT FOR MUSICAL DRUM
Domaine de l'invention La présente invention se rapporte au domaine des supports d'instruments de musique, et plus précisément à un support de tambour musical. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of musical instrument stands, and more specifically to a musical drum stand.
Etat de la technique II existe de nombreux tambours de tailles et de formes différentes, pouvant être utilisés soit en frappant la peau du tambour avec les mains nues, soit en utilisant divers objets, en particulier des baguettes. Le tambour africain fait partie des tambours les plus connus et les plus utilisés. Mais il existe d'autres types de tambour et en particulier le tambour guyanais qui a pour principale caractéristique de présenter un système d'attaches, appelées « klés » permettant d'accorder le tambour au son désiré. De tels tambours (africain ou guyanais) sont généralement constitués d'un corps principal constitué en bois et plus spécifiquement en tronc creusé. Le corps du tambour possède généralement une section sensiblement circulaire et une forme sensiblement cylindrique, avec un diamètre qui peut être constant sur toute sa hauteur ou variable ; par exemple le diamètre peut être plus grand dans sa partie supérieure. Le tambour guyanais ou antillais a la forme d'un tonneau, et peut d'ailleurs être fabriqué en lattes de bois, comme un tonneau. Sur la partie supérieure du tambour se trouve une peau tendue, ladite peau étant d'origine animale ou fabriquée en matière synthétique. La partie inférieure du tambour quant à elle sert à évacuer les ondes sonores résultant de la pression de l'air lorsque le joueur de tambour frappe sur la peau tendue. STATE OF THE ART There are many drums of different sizes and shapes, which can be used either by striking the drum skin with bare hands, or by using various objects, particularly chopsticks. The African drum is one of the best-known and most used drums. But there are other types of drum and especially the Guyanese drum whose main feature is to present a system of fasteners, called "klés" to tune the drum to the desired sound. Such drums (African or Guyanese) generally consist of a main body made of wood and more specifically hollowed trunk. The body of the drum generally has a substantially circular section and a substantially cylindrical shape, with a diameter that can be constant over its entire height or variable; for example the diameter may be larger in its upper part. The Guyanese or West Indian drum has the shape of a barrel, and can also be made of wooden slats, like a barrel. On the upper part of the drum is a stretched skin, said skin being of animal origin or made of synthetic material. The lower part of the drum is used to evacuate the sound waves resulting from the pressure of the air when the drum player strikes the tense skin.
Il existe de nombreux supports pour tambour, tels que décrits par exemple dans les documents DE 4101495 (Speiser), US 7 128 368, US 7 858 859. Ils ne sont pas totalement adaptés au tambour guyanais, antillais ou africain. De manière générale, le joueur de tambour guyanais, antillais ou africain doit maintenir ledit tambour entre ses genoux et doit incliner légèrement le tambour lorsqu'il joue. Il est possible aussi pour le joueur de tambour africain seulement d'attacher le tambour au moyen de sangles sur ses épaules, le poids du tambour étant supporté par le joueur. Alternativement, le joueur peut utiliser un tabouret et tenir le tambour entre ses jambes. Le document US 6 073 999 décrit un dispositif de support amélioré pour un tambour musical, de préférence pour un tambour africain, ledit support étant en combinaison avec un siège. Le support comprend un cadre rigide relié à un siège, ledit cadre comprenant au moins deux branches et une ouverture apte à recevoir le tambour de telle manière que le tambour repose sur ledit cadre, le tambour étant suspendu et la surface de jeu étant inclinée du côté opposé au siège. Ce dispositif permet au musicien de jouer avec un plus grand confort, car il n'a plus à supporter le poids du tambour ou à le maintenir entre ses genoux ou ses jambes. En revanche, ce dispositif présente l'inconvénient majeur de ne pas être adaptable à toute forme de tambour, le cadre du dispositif du support étant de dimensions fixes, il n'est ainsi pas possible de l'utiliser avec des tambours dont le diamètre du corps central est trop grand. Inversement, des tambours de petit diamètre ne peuvent pas être maintenus par le cadre du dispositif. De plus, la rigidité du support impose au joueur d'adopter une posture d'assise selon la taille et la forme du tambour, et donc entraîne en plus d'une augmentation de la dépense énergétique du joueur, et à plus ou moins long terme selon la fréquence d'utilisation, des douleurs et des raideurs du dos, du cou et/ou des bras selon la posture adoptée. There are many drum stands, as described, for example, in DE 4101495 (Speiser), US Pat. No. 7,128,368, US Pat. No. 7,858,859. They are not totally adapted to the Guyanese, West Indian or African drum. In general, the Guyanese, West Indian or African drum player must hold the drum between his knees and slightly incline the drum when playing. It is also possible for the African drum player only to tie the drum with straps on his shoulders, the weight of the drum being supported by the player. Alternatively, the player can use a stool and hold the drum between his legs. US 6,073,999 discloses an improved support device for a musical drum, preferably for an African drum, said support being in combination with a seat. The support comprises a rigid frame connected to a seat, said frame comprising at least two branches and an opening adapted to receive the drum so that the drum rests on said frame, the drum being suspended and the playing surface being inclined on the side opposite to the seat. This device allows the musician to play with greater comfort, because he no longer has to support the weight of the drum or to hold it between his knees or his legs. However, this device has the major disadvantage of not being adaptable to any drum shape, the frame of the device of the support being of fixed dimensions, it is thus not possible to use it with drums whose diameter of central body is too big. Conversely, small diameter drums can not be held by the frame of the device. In addition, the rigidity of the support requires the player to adopt a sitting posture according to the size and shape of the drum, and therefore leads in addition to an increase in the energy expenditure of the player, and more or less long term depending on the frequency of use, pain and stiffness of the back, neck and / or arms depending on the posture adopted.
Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un nouveau support pour tambour musical, plus particulièrement pour tambour guyanais, antillais, africain et tout autre tambour joué assis, permettant de répondre aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-avant. Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un support pour tambour apportant une amélioration de la posture du joueur de tambour qui peut alors relâcher la pression au niveau des jambes et plus particulièrement des cuisses, des hanches, du cou, du dos, mais également des bras. Ce support permet de mieux respirer, il y a moins de blocage de la poitrine, moins d'essoufflement. En somme, l'invention a pour but de protéger la santé des joueurs par une posture et une assise qui deviennent plus souples et plus libres permettant ainsi de bonifier la musique. En outre, il offre plus de confort aux enfants qui apprennent à jouer au tambour, et qui n'ont pas toujours les jambes assez longues pour encercler le tambour. Objets de l'invention The object of the present invention is to provide a new support for musical drum, more particularly for Guyanese, West Indian, African drums and any other drum played sitting, to meet the disadvantages mentioned above. Another object of the invention is to propose a support for a drum providing an improvement in the posture of the drum player who can then release the pressure on the legs and more particularly on the thighs, hips, neck, back, but also arms. This support allows better breathing, there is less blockage of the chest, less breathlessness. In short, the invention aims to protect the health of players by a posture and a seat that become more flexible and freer thus improving the music. In addition, it offers more comfort to children who learn to play drums, and who do not always have enough legs to encircle the drum. Objects of the invention

Description détaillée de l'invention Detailed description of the invention
Selon un premier mode de réalisation selon l'invention et tel que présenté en figure 1 , le support 1 pour tambour musical 10 avec siège intégré 6 présentant une surface d'assise comprend une pluralité de pièces sensiblement plates, et plus particulièrement : un élément de support horizontal 4 (appelé ici « pied ») destiné à stabiliser le support ; un élément de support vertical 3 (appelé ici « montant ») dont l'une de ses extrémités est fixée au pied 4, l'autre extrémité étant fixée au siège 6 ; - un moyen de maintien 5 du tambour 10 dont une de ses extrémités 5a est fixée sur le montant 3. According to a first embodiment according to the invention and as shown in FIG. 1, the support 1 for a musical drum 10 with integrated seat 6 having a seating surface comprises a plurality of substantially flat parts, and more particularly: an element of horizontal support 4 (here called "foot") for stabilizing the support; a vertical support element 3 (here called "upright") whose one end is fixed to the foot 4, the other end being fixed to the seat 6; a means 5 for holding the drum 10, one of its ends 5a being fixed on the upright 3.
Selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, le moyen de maintien 5 peut se présenter sous la forme d'une pièce profilée 5 essentiellement plate, comprenant une partie médiane 5c et deux extrémités 5a, 5b adoptant une forme coudée. L'extrémité 5b de la pièce profilée 5 est susceptible de coopérer avec la surface interne 11 du tambour musical 10 afin de le maintenir lors de son utilisation par un personnage en situation de jeu. La seconde extrémité 5a de la pièce profilée 5 adopte également une forme coudée de manière à pouvoir fixer la pièce profilée 5 sur le montant 3. Ainsi, le tambour 10 une fois introduit jusqu'en butée dans la pièce profilée 5 est incliné par rapport au sol. Par conséquent, le tambour 10 est incliné et maintenu uniquement par le support 1 grâce au moyen de maintien 5 étant constitué par la pièce profilée 5, et cela sans que le joueur ait à incliner ou à maintenir de lui-même le tambour. Selon un mode particulier de l'invention, l'angle de coudage, i.e. l'angle compris entre l'extrémité 5a et la partie médiane 5c de la pièce profilée 5 est compris entre 35° et 45°, préférentiellement entre 37° et 43°, et encore plus préférentiellement entre 39° et 41 °. According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the holding means 5 may be in the form of a substantially flat profiled piece 5 comprising a median portion 5c and two ends 5a, 5b adopting a bent shape. The end 5b of the profiled piece 5 is capable of cooperating with the inner surface 11 of the musical drum 10 in order to maintain it during its use by a character in play situation. The second end 5a of the profiled piece 5 also adopts a shape bent so as to fix the profiled part 5 on the upright 3. Thus, the drum 10 once introduced to the stop in the profiled part 5 is inclined relative to the ground. Therefore, the drum 10 is inclined and maintained only by the support 1 with the holding means 5 being formed by the profiled piece 5, without the player having to incline or maintain the drum itself. According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the bending angle, ie the angle between the end 5a and the middle part 5c of the profiled part 5 is between 35 ° and 45 °, preferably between 37 ° and 43 °. °, and even more preferably between 39 ° and 41 °.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation particulier selon l'invention la pièce profilée 5 est interchangeable, i.e. qu'elle peut être démontée du support 1 et remplacée par une autre pièce de même type mais étant de taille (longueur) différente. Par exemple, la longueur de la partie médiane 5c peut varier d'une pièce profilée à une autre selon la taille du tambour. En effet, pour des tambours africains de type djembé, la longueur de la partie médiane 5c doit être adaptée pour assurer la stabilité desdits tambours du fait de la grande hauteur de ces types de tambours. In another particular embodiment according to the invention the profiled piece 5 is interchangeable, i.e. it can be dismounted from the support 1 and replaced by another piece of the same type but being of different size (length). For example, the length of the middle portion 5c may vary from one profiled piece to another depending on the size of the drum. Indeed, for djembe type African drums, the length of the middle part 5c must be adapted to ensure the stability of said drums because of the great height of these types of drums.
Des moyens de fixations de la pièce profilée 5 situés sur une des faces du montant 3 sont prévus à cet effet pour faciliter le montage/démontage de la pièce profilée 5 sur le montant 3. Dans une première variante, des évidements profilés situés dans une des faces du montant 3 peuvent être réalisés pour coopérer avec des protubérances situés sur l'une des extrémités de la pièce profilée 5. Alternativement, des protubérances situées sur une des faces du montant 3 peuvent être réalisées pour coopérer avec des évidements situés dans la partie interne de l'une des deux extrémités de la pièce profilée 5. Fastening means of the profiled part 5 located on one of the faces of the upright 3 are provided for this purpose to facilitate assembly / disassembly of the profiled part 5 on the upright 3. In a first variant, profiled recesses located in one of the faces of the upright 3 can be made to cooperate with protuberances located on one of the ends of the profiled part 5. Alternatively, protuberances located on one of the faces of the upright 3 can be made to cooperate with recesses located in the inner part. one of the two ends of the profiled part 5.
Avantageusement, le support 1 pour tambour selon l'invention comprend en outre une console de siège 7 permettant de solidifier le support 1 sous le poids du joueur de tambour en position d'assise sur le siège 6. De plus, un socle 2 placé dans la partie inférieure du support 1 peut être ajouté pour renforcer la stabilité globale du support. Advantageously, the support 1 for the drum according to the invention further comprises a seat console 7 for solidifying the support 1 under the weight of the drum player in a sitting position on the seat 6. In addition, a base 2 placed in the lower part of the support 1 can be added to enhance the overall stability of the support.
Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel, des dispositifs de fixation à ventousessont placés sur la face avant 40 de l'élément de support horizontal 4 et/ou sur les faces latérales 20 du socle 2 afin d'améliorer l'adhérence au sol du support 1. In a preferred embodiment, suction fasteners are placed on the front face 40 of the horizontal support member 4 and / or on the side faces 20 of the base 2 in order to improve the adhesion to the ground of the support 1. .
Enfin, selon une variante de réalisation (cf. figure 3), le support 1 pour tambour peut comprendre en outre un dossier de siège 12 supporté par une console de dossier 13 permettant de renforcer la sensation de confort du joueur. La console de dossier 13 est reliée au siège 6 par une entaille s'encastrant dans ledit siège 6, est fixée en haut de la console de siège 7 par une vis, et est fixée sous le socle 2 par une vis. Le dossier de siège 12 est fixé par deux vis dans la console de dossier 13, ladite console de dossier 13 étant évidée de la largeur du dossier pour que ledit dossier de siège 12 soit dans la continuité de la console de dossier 13. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le dossier de siège 12 et la console de dossier 13 sont amovibles. En effet, le dossier de siège 12 et la console de dossier 13 peuvent être ajoutés ou enlevés sur le support 1 indépendamment des autres éléments constitutifs dudit support 1. Dans une première variante de ce mode de réalisation, la console de dossier 13 amovible est fixée d'une part au socle 2 et d'autre part à la console de siège 6 par des éléments de fixations coopérant entre eux, tels que des évidements et des protubérances. Par exemple, des évidements profilés situés dans une des faces de la console de siège 6 peuvent être réalisés pour coopérer avec des protubérances situées sur la console de dossier 13. Alternativement, des protubérances situées dans une des faces de la console de siège 6 peuvent être réalisées pour coopérer avec des évidements situés dans la partie interne de la console de dossier 13. Finally, according to an alternative embodiment (see Figure 3), the support 1 for drum may further comprise a seat back 12 supported by a backrest console 13 to enhance the feeling of comfort of the player. The backrest console 13 is connected to the seat 6 by a notch fitting into said seat 6, is fixed at the top of the seat console 7 by a screw, and is fixed under the base 2 by a screw. The seat back 12 is fixed by two screws in the backrest console 13, said backrest console 13 being recessed from the width of the backrest so that said seat back 12 is in continuity with the backrest console 13. In a particular embodiment, the seat back 12 and the folder console 13 are removable. Indeed, the seat back 12 and the backrest console 13 can be added or removed on the support 1 independently of the other elements constituting said support 1. In a first variant of this embodiment, the removable backrest console 13 is fixed on the one hand to the base 2 and on the other hand to the seat console 6 by fasteners cooperating with each other, such as recesses and protuberances. For example, profiled recesses located in one of the faces of the seat console 6 can be made to cooperate with protuberances located on the backrest console 13. Alternatively, protuberances located in one of the faces of the seat console 6 can be made to cooperate with recesses located in the inner part of the backrest console 13.
Dans une autre variante de réalisation, non représentée ici, le dossier de siège 12 et la console de dossier 13 sont rétractables, i.e. que le dossier de siège 12 et la console de dossier 13 sont agencés sous la forme d'un système télescopique comportant une tige télescopique fixée par une extrémité au socle 2 par des éléments de fixations coopérant entre eux, tels que des évidements ou des protubérances. Ce mode de réalisation convient en particulier lorsque le dossier de siège 12 et la console de dossier 13 sont en métal. In another variant embodiment, not shown here, the seat back 12 and the backrest console 13 are retractable, ie the seat backrest 12 and the backrest console 13 are arranged in the form of a telescopic system comprising a telescopic rod fixed at one end to the base 2 by fasteners cooperating with each other, such as recesses or protuberances. This embodiment is particularly suitable when the seat back 12 and the backrest console 13 are metal.
Selon un dernier mode de réalisation selon l'invention, le moyen de maintien 5 comprend une entaille 51 située dans la partie médiane 5c dudit moyen de maintien 5, ladite entaille 51 étant apte à recevoir une vis à écrou. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le tambour 10 doit être percé au niveau de sa partie inférieure pour former un trou permettant d'insérer la vis à écrou. La vis est insérée dans l'entaille 51 du moyen de maintien 5c, puis est insérée dans le trou du tambour 10, puis l'ensemble est fixé et serré au moyen d'un écrou. De préférence on utilise un écrou de type « papillon », évitant ainsi l'utilisation d'une clé pour serrer l'ensemble. Cette fixation supplémentaire permet de renforcer la stabilité du tambour 10 sur le support 1. Elle permet également de transporter le tambour 10 et le support 1 en un seul élément, l'un faisant corps avec l'autre. According to a last embodiment of the invention, the holding means 5 comprises a notch 51 located in the middle portion 5c of said holding means 5, said notch 51 being adapted to receive a nut screw. In this embodiment, the drum 10 must be drilled at its lower portion to form a hole for inserting the nut screw. The screw is inserted into the notch 51 of the holding means 5c, then is inserted into the hole of the drum 10, then the assembly is fixed and tightened by means of a nut. Preferably a "butterfly" type nut is used, thus avoiding the use of a wrench to tighten the assembly. This additional attachment makes it possible to reinforce the stability of the drum 10 on the support 1. It also makes it possible to transport the drum 10 and the support 1 in a single element, one being integral with the other.
Les éléments constitutifs du support 1 pour tambour, à savoir le socle 2, le montant 3, le pied 4, la pièce profilée 5, le siège 6, le dossier de siège 12, la console de dossier 13 et la console de siège 7 peuvent être réalisés en tout matériau approprié, et plus particulièrement en bois (notamment en bois de chêne, ou en bois précieux de Guyane), ou en métal (notamment en aluminium ou en acier) ou même éventuellement en matière plastique. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, les éléments constitutifs du support 1 en métal sont recouverts d'un revêtement, telle qu'une moquette, pour éviter le phénomène de résonnance desdits éléments constitutifs du support 1. The constituent elements of the support 1 for the drum, namely the base 2, the upright 3, the foot 4, the profiled part 5, the seat 6, the seat back 12, the backrest console 13 and the seat console 7 can be made of any suitable material, and more particularly wood (including oak wood, or precious wood from Guyana), or metal (including aluminum or steel) or even possibly plastic. In a particular embodiment, the constituent elements of the support 1 metal are covered with a coating, such as a carpet, to avoid the phenomenon of resonance of said constituent elements of the support 1.

Plusieurs pièces profilées 5 peuvent être comprises dans le kit selon le tambour utilisé par le joueur. Ainsi, le support 1 pour tambour peut être monté de façon modulaire et simple. Les éléments constitutifs du support 1 , à l'exception des éléments de fixation pour fixer la pièce profilée 5 sur le montant 3, peuvent être fixés entre eux par l'intermédiaire de moyens de fixation connus tels que par vissage. De manière générale, les éléments constitutifs du support 1 se présentent comme des pièces possédant deux faces opposées plates, et se présentent de préférence comme pièces pouvant être obtenues par découpage dans une plaque ou tôle, et/ou par découpage de profilés dans un sens orthogonal par rapport à leur sens long. Ainsi, le support 1 pour tambour selon l'invention présente une grande facilité d'usinage. Etant composé de pièces à plat, il peut être emballé dans un colis de faible dimension, ce qui facilite son transport et son expédition. According to yet another particular embodiment according to the invention, the support 1 for a drum can be provided in the form of a kit comprising all the constituent elements of the support 1, namely the base 2, the upright 3, the foot 4, the profiled part 5, the seat 6, the seat back 12, the backrest console 13 and the seat console 7. Several profiled parts 5 may be included in the kit depending on the drum used by the player. Thus, the support 1 for a drum can be mounted in a modular and simple manner. The constituent elements of the support 1, with the exception of the fixing elements for fixing the profiled part 5 on the upright 3, can be fixed to each other by means of known fastening means such as by screwing. In general, the constituent elements of the support 1 are in the form of parts having two opposite flat faces, and are preferably parts that can be obtained by cutting into a plate or sheet, and / or by cutting profiles in an orthogonal direction. compared to their long meaning. Thus, the support 1 for the drum according to the invention has a great ease of machining. Being composed of pieces flat, it can be packed in a small package, which facilitates its transport and shipping.
