Description

TAMBOUR, NOTAMMENT TOM DE BATTERIE La présente invention concerne un tambour en général, c'est-à-dire un ensemble comprenant un fût, une peau de frappe sur un côté du fût, une peau de timbre sur le côté opposé du fût, deux cerclages dont un est relié à la périphérie d'une peau et l'autre est relié à la périphérie de l'autre peau, et des tirants permettant de tirer chaque cerclage dans une direction opposée à l'extrémité correspondante du fût, afin d'exercer une tension sur la peau. Le tambour en question est en particulier un élément d'une batterie, qu'il s'agisse d'une caisse claire, d'un tom ou de la grosse caisse de cette batterie.  The present invention relates to a drum in general, that is to say an assembly comprising a barrel, a striking skin on one side of the barrel, a patch skin on the opposite side of the barrel, two straps one of which is connected to the periphery of one skin and the other is connected to the periphery of the other skin, and tie rods for pulling each strapping in a direction opposite to the corresponding end of the barrel, in order to exert tension on the skin. The drum in question is in particular an element of a battery, be it a snare drum, a tom or the bass drum of this battery.
Selon la technique classique, un tambour ayant un fût d'une hauteur réduite, telle qu'une caisse claire de batterie, comprend des tirants reliant directement les deux cerclages l'un à l'autre ; un tambour ayant un fût de plus grande hauteur, telle qu'un tom ou une grosse caisse de batterie, comprend des ferrures d'ancrage pour les tirants, solidaires de sa paroi, et chaque cerclage comprend des trous aménagés de façon à venir en regard de ces ancrages ; chaque tirant est relié à une ferrure d'ancrage, pour sa liaison au fût, et au cerclage correspondant, au niveau du trou que comprend ce cerclage situé en regard de la ferrure. Les publications de demandes de brevet N° US 3,981 ,220 A, US 9,159,305 B1 , US 1 ,630,461 A, US 2014/069256 A1 ou JP S59 78396 A divulguent divers tambours selon la technique antérieure. En particulier, la publication de demande de brevet N° US 3,981 ,220 A décrit les caractéristiques mentionnées dans le préambule de la revendication 1 annexée.  According to the conventional technique, a drum having a barrel of a reduced height, such as a drum snare, comprises tie rods directly connecting the two hoops to one another; a drum having a drum of greater height, such as a tom or a bass drum, includes anchoring hardware for the tie rods, integral with its wall, and each strapping includes holes arranged so as to come opposite these anchorages; each tie rod is connected to an anchoring fitting, for its connection to the barrel, and the corresponding strapping, at the hole that includes the strapping located opposite the fitting. US Patent Publication Nos. 3,981,220 A, US 9,159,305 B1, US 1, 630,461 A, US 2014/069256 A1 or JP S59 78396 A disclose various drums according to the prior art. In particular, US Patent Application Publication No. 3,981,220 A describes the features mentioned in the preamble of appended claim 1.
Un soucis constant pour un batteur est d'obtenir un son aussi personnalisé que possible ; un autre soucis constant est d'obtenir, sur une même batterie, des sons aussi différenciés que possible.  A constant concern for a drummer is to get a sound as personalized as possible; another constant concern is to obtain, on the same battery, sounds as differentiated as possible.
Les caisses claires, toms ou grosses caisses des batteries existantes ne permettent pas de répondre à ces besoins, ou ne le permettent que dans une mesure réduite, par la multiplication des toms, ce qui est coûteux et pose des problèmes notables d'encombrement.  The snare drums, toms or drums of existing batteries do not meet these needs, or only allow it to a limited extent, by the multiplication of toms, which is expensive and poses significant problems congestion.
La présente invention a pour objectif de fournir un tambour en général, et en particulier une caisse claire, un tom ou une grosse caisse d'une batterie, répondant à ces besoins.  The present invention aims to provide a drum in general, and in particular a snare drum, a tom or a bass drum of a battery, meeting these needs.
Le tambour concerné comprend, de manière connue en soi, les caractéristiques mentionnées dans le préambule de la revendication 1 annexée.. Selon l'invention, The drum concerned comprises, in a manner known per se, the characteristics mentioned in the preamble of appended claim 1. According to the invention,
- ladite première zone de prise d'appui des tirants est continue ou substantiellement continue sur l'ensemble de la circonférence du cerclage ;  said first bearing zone of the tie rods is continuous or substantially continuous over the entire circumference of the strapping;
- ladite au moins une deuxième zone de prise d'appui des tirants est continue sur l'ensemble de la longueur du rail ; et  said at least one second support zone for the tie rods is continuous over the entire length of the rail; and
- ladite première extrémité de prise est apte à venir en prise avec ladite première zone de prise en n'importe quel point de la circonférence du cerclage, ou substantiellement en n'importe quel point de la circonférence de ce cerclage, et ladite deuxième extrémité de prise est apte à venir en prise avec ladite deuxième zone de prise que forme le rail, en n'importe quel point de la circonférence de ce rail, ou substantiellement en n'importe quel point de la circonférence de ce rail.  said first gripping end is adapted to engage said first gripping zone at any point of the circumference of the strapping, or substantially at any point of the circumference of said strapping, and said second end of socket is adapted to engage with said second engagement area that forms the rail, at any point of the circumference of this rail, or substantially at any point of the circumference of this rail.
L'invention consiste ainsi à prévoir cumulativement :  The invention thus consists in predicting cumulatively:
- au moins un rail fixé au fût, sur lequel les tirants de mise en tension d'au moins une peau sont aptes à prendre appui, de façon différenciée d'une peau à l'autre ;  - At least one rail attached to the barrel, on which the tie rods for tensioning at least one skin are able to bear, differentially from one skin to another;
- au moins un rail, des cerclages et des tirants permettant une venue des tirants en prise avec ce rail et ces cerclages en n'importe quel point de la circonférence de ce cerclage.  at least one rail, straps and tie rods allowing the tie rods to come into engagement with this rail and these straps at any point on the circumference of this strapping.
L'invention prend ainsi le contrepied de la technique classique impliquant un nombre déterminé de tirants sur le tambour et impliquant des positions déterminées de ces tirants sur la circonférence de ce tambour, donc l'obtention d'un son pas ou peu personnalisable. Avec le tambour selon la présente invention, le batteur peut choisir le nombre de tirants qu'il utilise pour la peau de frappe et le nombre de tirants qu'il utilise pour la peau de timbre, en différenciant s'il le souhaite ces nombres d'une peau à l'autre, et peut choisir le positionnement des tirants sur la circonférence du fût, en pouvant adopter s'il le souhaite des intervalles non réguliers entre ces tirants.  The invention thus takes the opposite of the conventional technique involving a determined number of tie rods on the drum and involving determined positions of these tie rods on the circumference of this drum, so obtaining a not or little customizable sound. With the drum according to the present invention, the drummer can choose the number of tie rods that he uses for the striking skin and the number of tie rods that he uses for the patch skin, differentiating if he wishes these numbers from one skin to another, and can choose the positioning of the tie rods on the circumference of the barrel, being able to adopt if desired non-regular intervals between these tie rods.
Grâce à ces dispositions combinées, l'utilisateur est à même d'obtenir des sons très différenciés d'une zone de la peau de frappe à une autre, et d'un tambour d'une batterie à un autre, et donc de personnaliser le son que peuvent produire ces tambours.  Thanks to these combined arrangements, the user is able to obtain very different sounds from one area of the striking skin to another, and a drum from one battery to another, and thus to customize the sound that can produce these drums.
Les expressions "zone de prise d'appui" et "extrémité de prise" sont utilisées pour couvrir tous types de structures de liaison entre, d'une part, chaque cerclage et le rail, et, d'autre part, chaque tirant ; selon une forme de réalisation préférée, détaillée plus loin, les" zones de prise d'appui" sont des gorges et les "extrémités de prise" sont des crochets ; il serait cependant concevable de prévoir des coulisseaux engagés de façon coulissante sur un cerclage et un rail correspondant, reliés aux tirants par tous moyens de liaison connu ; en particulier, chaque coulisseau pourrait être percé d'un trou recevant au travers de lui une extrémité filetée correspondante d'un tirant, cette extrémité filetée recevant un écrou vissé sur elle et prenant appui sur le coulisseau. The expressions "bearing zone" and "gripping end" are used to cover all types of connection structures between, on the one hand, each strapping and the rail, and on the other hand, each tie rod; according to a preferred embodiment, detailed more far, the "bearing areas" are grooves and the "grip ends" are hooks; it would be conceivable, however, to provide slides slidably engaged on a strapping and a corresponding rail, connected to the tie rods by any known connecting means; in particular, each slider could be pierced with a hole receiving through it a corresponding threaded end of a tie rod, this threaded end receiving a nut screwed on it and bearing on the slider.
Le tambour selon l'invention peut comprendre un rail unique, notamment positionné à mi-distance entre les deux extrémités axiales du fût, auquel cas ce rail forme, sur deux côtés axiaux opposés, deux zones de prise pour les tirants, l'une de ces zones de prise recevant les tirants de mise en tension de l'une des peaux et l'autre de ces zones de prise recevant les tirants de mise en tension de l'autre peau.  The drum according to the invention may comprise a single rail, in particular positioned at mid-distance between the two axial ends of the barrel, in which case this rail forms, on two opposite axial sides, two gripping zones for the tie rods, one of these gripping zones receiving tensioning tie rods of one of the skins and the other of these gripping zones receiving tensioning tie rods of the other skin.
Ce tambour peut également comprendre deux rails dont un est dédié à la mise en tension de l'une des peaux et l'autre est dédié à la mise en tension de l'autre peau ; dans ce cas, chaque rail comprend une seule zone de prise.  This drum can also include two rails, one of which is dedicated to the tensioning of one of the skins and the other is dedicated to the tensioning of the other skin; in this case, each rail comprises a single gripping zone.
Selon une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention,  According to a preferred embodiment of the invention,
- ladite première zone de prise d'appui que forme chaque cerclage est constituée par une gorge formée dans ce cerclage, s'ouvrant sur le côté axial du cerclage destiné à être placé à l'opposé de l'autre cerclage ;  said first bearing zone formed by each strapping consists of a groove formed in this strapping, opening on the axial side of the strapping intended to be placed opposite the other strapping;
- chaque deuxième zone de prise d'appui que comprend chaque rail est constituée par une gorge formée dans ce rail, s'ouvrant sur le côté axial du rail destiné à se trouver à l'opposé d'une peau dont des tirants reçus dans cette gorge assurent la mise en tension ; et  each second bearing zone that comprises each rail is constituted by a groove formed in this rail, opening on the axial side of the rail intended to be opposite to a skin whose tie rods received in this throat provide tensioning; and
- chaque première et deuxième extrémité de prise que présente chaque tirant est constituée par une partie en crochet apte à être engagée dans une gorge correspondante du cerclage et du rail respectivement.  each first and second gripping end that each tie rod has is constituted by a hook portion that can be engaged in a corresponding groove of the strapping and the rail respectively.
La mise en œuvre de l'invention est ainsi simple, de même que la mise en place et le retrait des tirants.  The implementation of the invention is thus simple, as well as the establishment and removal of tie rods.
L'invention sera bien comprise, et d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront, en référence au dessin schématique annexé, qui représente, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, deux formes de réalisation possibles du tambour concerné.  The invention will be better understood, and other features and advantages thereof will become apparent with reference to the attached schematic drawing, which shows, by way of non-limiting examples, two possible embodiments of the drum concerned.
La figure 1 est une vue de côté d'un tambour selon la première forme de réalisation, avec des coupes partielles sur les côté gauche et droit de cette figure, faites au niveau du diamètre du tambour, parallèlement au plan de la figure ; l'un des tirants de mise en tension d'une peau, que comprend ce tambour, représenté sur la gauche de la figure, est dans une position de démontage ; FIG. 1 is a side view of a drum according to the first embodiment, with partial sections on the left and right sides of this figure, made at the diameter of the drum, parallel to the plane of the figure; one of the tie rods for tensioning a skin, which comprises this drum, shown on the left of the figure, is in a disassembly position;
la figure 1A est une vue à échelle très agrandie de la partie supérieure gauche du tambour 1 tel que montré sur la figure 1 ; et  Figure 1A is a greatly enlarged view of the upper left portion of drum 1 as shown in Figure 1; and
la figure 2 est une vue d'un tambour selon la deuxième forme de réalisation, similaire à la figure 1 .  Figure 2 is a view of a drum according to the second embodiment, similar to Figure 1.
La figure 1 représente un tambour 1 en général, qui est en particulier un tom médium de batterie, comprenant un fût 2, une peau de frappe 3 sur un côté du fût 2, une peau de timbre 4 sur le côté opposé du fût, deux cerclages 5 dont un est relié à la périphérie d'une peau 3 et l'autre est relié à la périphérie de l'autre peau 4, et des tirants 6 permettant de tirer chaque cerclage 5 dans une direction opposée à l'extrémité correspondante du fût 2, afin d'exercer une tension sur la peau 3 ou 4.  FIG. 1 shows a drum 1 in general, which is in particular a medium drum tom, comprising a drum 2, a striking skin 3 on one side of the drum 2, a patch skin 4 on the opposite side of the drum, two straps 5 one of which is connected to the periphery of a skin 3 and the other is connected to the periphery of the other skin 4, and tie rods 6 for pulling each strapping 5 in a direction opposite to the corresponding end of the barrel 2, to exert tension on the skin 3 or 4.
Comme plus particulièrement visible sur la figure 1A, chaque peau 3 ou 4 est reliée par sa périphérie à un cerceau 7 engagé de façon coulissante sur le fût 2, et le cerclage 5 correspondant présente une ouverture périphérique 8 permettant son engagement sur ce cerceau 7. Le cerclage 5 appuie sur ce cerceau 7 pour réaliser la mise en tension de la peau 3 ou 4.  As more particularly visible in FIG. 1A, each skin 3 or 4 is connected at its periphery to a hoop 7 slidably engaged on the drum 2, and the corresponding hoop 5 has a peripheral opening 8 enabling it to be engaged on this hoop 7. The strapping 5 presses this hoop 7 to achieve the tensioning of the skin 3 or 4.
Le cerclage 5 comprend également une gorge 10 s'ouvrant sur son côté axial opposé à l'ouverture 8 et s'étendant sur l'ensemble de la circonférence du cerclage. Cette gorge 10 est destinée à recevoir des portions d'extrémité 1 1 en forme de crochet que comprennent les tirants 6.  The strapping 5 also comprises a groove 10 opening on its axial side opposite the opening 8 and extending over the entire circumference of the strapping. This groove 10 is intended to receive end portions 1 1 hook-shaped that include tie rods 6.
Chaque tirant 6 comprend, dans l'exemple représenté, deux de ces portions 1 1 à ces deux extrémités, deux tiges filetées 12 de pas inversés dont une est solidaire de l'une des portions 1 1 et l'autre est solidaire de l'autre portion 1 1 , et un écrou 13 recevant ces deux tiges, vissées en lui ; la manœuvre de l'écrou 13 dans un sens ou dans l'autre permet de visser ou de dévisser les tiges 12 par rapport à lui, donc d'éloigner ou de rapprocher les portions 1 1 l'une de l'autre, et, de cette façon, d'augmenter ou de diminuer la tension exercée sur un cerclage 5.  Each tie rod 6 comprises, in the example shown, two of these portions 1 1 at these two ends, two threaded rods 12 of inverted pitch, one of which is integral with one of the portions 1 1 and the other is integral with the another portion 1 1, and a nut 13 receiving these two rods, screwed into it; the maneuvering of the nut 13 in one direction or the other makes it possible to screw or unscrew the rods 12 with respect to it, thus to move the portions 1 1 away or closer to one another, and, in this way, to increase or decrease the tension exerted on a strapping 5.
Le fût 2 comprend un rail 15 fixé à l'extérieur de lui, sensiblement à mi-hauteur de sa hauteur, donc à mi-distance des cerclages 5. Ce rail 15 s'étend sur l'ensemble de la circonférence du fût 2 et forme, sur deux côtés axiaux opposés, deux gorges 16 qui sont continues sur l'ensemble de la longueur du rail 15. Ces gorges 16 ont une section sensiblement identique à celle de la gorge 10 et sont aptes à recevoir en elles les portions d'extrémité 1 1 des tirants 6. The barrel 2 comprises a rail 15 fixed outside of it, substantially halfway up its height, thus halfway between the straps 5. This rail 15 extends over the entire circumference of the barrel 2 and form, on two opposite axial sides, two grooves 16 which are continuous over the entire length of the rail 15. These grooves 16 have a substantially identical section to that of the groove 10 and are adapted to receive in them the end portions 1 1 tie rods 6.
Ainsi que cela se comprend en référence à la figure 1 , l'utilisateur peut choisir de mettre en place un nombre déterminé, qu'il choisit, de tirants 6 entre le cerclage 5 associé à la peau 3 et le rail 15, et un nombre déterminé, qu'il choisit également, de tirants 6 entre le cerclage 5 associé à la peau 4 et le rail 15, les deux nombres de tirants 6 pouvant être différent l'un de l'autre ; de plus l'utilisateur peut choisir, pour chaque série de tirants 6, les positions angulaires de ces tirants sur le fût 2, ces positions pouvant être différentes d'une série à l'autre et pouvant ne pas être régulièrement réparties sur la circonférence du fût.  As can be understood with reference to FIG. 1, the user can choose to put in place a determined number, which he chooses, of tie rods 6 between the strapping 5 associated with the skin 3 and the rail 15, and a number determined, which he also chooses, tie rods 6 between the strapping 5 associated with the skin 4 and the rail 15, the two numbers of tie rods 6 may be different from each other; moreover the user can choose, for each series of tie rods 6, the angular positions of these tie rods on the barrel 2, these positions being able to be different from one series to the other and which may not be evenly distributed on the circumference of the barrel.
Grâce à ces dispositions combinées, l'utilisateur est à même d'obtenir des sons très différenciés d'une zone de la peau de frappe à une autre, et d'un tambour d'une batterie à un autre, et donc de personnaliser le son que peuvent produire ces tambours.  Thanks to these combined arrangements, the user is able to obtain very differentiated sounds from one area of the striking skin to another, and from one drum from one battery to another, and thus to customize the sound that can produce these drums.
La figure 2 montre un tom basse 1 de batterie, dont le fût 2 a une plus grande hauteur que le fût du tom médium montré sur la figure 1 ; dans ce cas, le fût 2 comprend deux rails 15a, 15b dont un est dédié à la mise en tension de la peau 3 et l'autre est dédié à la mise en tension de la peau 4 ; chaque rail 15a, 15b comprend une seule gorge 16 telle que précitée, s'ouvrant sur son côté axial opposé au cerclage 5 correspondant.  Figure 2 shows a bass tom 1 of drums, whose drum 2 has a greater height than the drum of the medium tom shown in Figure 1; in this case, the barrel 2 comprises two rails 15a, 15b, one of which is dedicated to the tensioning of the skin 3 and the other is dedicated to the tensioning of the skin 4; each rail 15a, 15b comprises a single groove 16 as mentioned above, opening on its axial side opposite to the corresponding strapping 5.
Comme cela apparaît de ce qui précède, l'invention fournit un tambour présentant des avantages déterminants, mentionnés plus haut, par rapport à un tambour selon la technique antérieure.  As can be seen from the foregoing, the invention provides a drum having the above-mentioned decisive advantages over a drum according to the prior art.
L'invention a été décrite en référence à des formes de réalisation décrites à titre d'exemple ; il va de soi qu'elle n'est pas limitée à ces formes de réalisation et que la définition de la protection résulte de la formulation des revendications annexées.  The invention has been described with reference to embodiments described by way of example; it goes without saying that it is not limited to these embodiments and that the definition of protection results from the formulation of the appended claims.
