Description

Espigo de afinación para punteiro de gaita.Tuning spike for bagpipe punteiro.

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una pieza nueva en la gaita, que va colocada entre el puntero (Parte de la gaita que suena haciendo la melodía) y la buxa (pieza colocada en el fol u odre, en donde se acopla el puntero) mas concretamente al puntero de la misma, es decir al tubo preformado y perforado a través del que sale al exterior el aire alojado en el seno de un odre que el gaitero oprime con su brazo.The present invention relates to a piece new in the bagpipe, which is placed between the pointer (Part of the bagpipe that plays the melody) and the buxa (piece placed in the fol or odre, where the pointer is attached) more specifically to pointer thereof, that is to the preformed and perforated tube to through which the air lodged inside a I hate that the piper presses with his arm.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir que se pueda regular la afinación de la gaita sin tener que desmontar esta, para modificar la posición de la palleta (lengüeta de caña que produce el sonido) en el punteiro.The object of the invention is to ensure that can adjust the tuning of the bagpipes without having to disassemble this, to modify the position of the pallet (reed tab that produces the sound) in the punteiro.

Background of the invention

Como es sabido, la gaita es un instrumento musical de viento que consiste en un tubo de madera, ligeramente cónico, perforado, generalmente con forma acampanada en su extremo mas ancho, que por su otro extremo recibe a una lengüeta o palleta, que es la que genera el sonido a medida que el aire sale desde el odre de la gaita hacia el puntero, odre que constituye un reservorio de aire, que se alimenta mediante soplado a través de un segundo tubo provisto de una válvula unidireccional.As is known, the bagpipe is an instrument Wind musical consisting of a wooden tube, slightly conical, perforated, usually with flared shape at its end wider, which at its other end receives a tongue or pallet, which is what generates the sound as the air leaves the skin of the bagpipe towards the pointer, skin that constitutes a reservoir of air, which is fed by blowing through a second tube provided with a unidirectional valve.

Para regular la afinación de la gaita se tiene que retirar el punteiro de la buxa y modificar la posición que tiene la palleta pues al introducir mas la palleta en el, la altura de afinación sube y al retirarla baja.To regulate the tuning of the bagpipe you have to remove the punteiro from the buxa and modify the position it has the pallet then when introducing more the pallet in it, the height of tuning rises and when removed low.

Description of the invention

El espigo para puntero de gaita que la invención propone ha sido concebido y estructurado en orden a resolver de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta.The needle for bagpipe pointer that the invention proposes has been conceived and structured in order to resolve the problem was fully satisfactory before exposed.

Para ello y de forma mas concreta dicho puntero, a través de una estructura convencional, centra sus características en el hecho de que su palleta se acopla coaxialmente al mismo con la colaboración de un espigo que es el que recibe ineludiblemente a la citada palleta, pero que es axialmente desplazable con respecto al puntero, de manera que permite regular a voluntad la distancia real existente en cada momento entre palleta y puntero, o lo que es lo mismo, regular a voluntad la sonoridad de la gaita, sin necesidad de tener que desmontar la gaita para regular la afinación.To do this and more specifically said pointer, through a conventional structure, it focuses its characteristics in the fact that its pallet is coaxially coupled to it with the collaboration of a spigot that is the one that inevitably receives the cited pallet, but which is axially movable with respect to the pointer, so that the real distance can be adjusted at will existing between each pallet and pointer, or what is same, regulate the sound of the bagpipe at will, without the need for having to disassemble the bagpipe to regulate the tuning.

El citado espigo, en adelante "espigo de afinación", puesto que ésta es su función, se monta sobre la clásica prolongación axial del puntero con interposición de juntas tóricas de corcho, caucho u otro material que genere una tendencia al bloqueo relativo entre ambas piezas, espigo de afinación y prolongación axial del puntero, de manera que la posición relativa seleccionada para tales piezas se mantenga estable, mientras no se pretenda un cambio de forma deliberada.The aforementioned spike, hereinafter "spigot of tuning ", since this is its function, it is mounted on the classic axial extension of the pointer with interposition of joints O-rings of cork, rubber or other material that generates a tendency to the relative lock between both pieces, tuning pin and axial extension of the pointer, so that the relative position selected for such parts remain stable, while not Try a change deliberately.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como el puntero de gaita que la invención propone está constituido, como es convencional, mediante un cuerpo tubular (1), generalmente de madera, ligeramente divergente hacia su extremidad libre, es decir con una configuración levemente tronco-cónica, con su extremidad libre (2) acampanada y con orificios (3) adecuadamente dimensionados y distribuidos a lo largo del propio puntero (1), el cual se remata por su otro extremo en un pequeño cabezal (4) receptor de la palleta (5).In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the bagpipe pointer that the invention proposes is constituted, as is conventional, by a tubular body (1), usually wooden, slightly divergent towards its tip free, that is with a slightly configuration conical trunk, with its free limb (2) flared and with holes (3) properly sized and distributed along the pointer itself (1), which is finished off at its other end in a small head (4) pallet receiver (5).

Pues bien, a partir de esta estructuración básica y convencional, el puntero de la invención centra sus características en el hecho de que la lengüeta de la palleta (5) no está directamente montada sobre el cabezal (4) del puntero propiamente dicho (1), sino que lo hace sobre un espigo de afinación (6) desplazable axialmente, conjuntamente con la palleta (5), a lo largo de una prolongación axial (7) del cabezal (4) del puntero (1), de manera que el espigo (6) es susceptible de adoptar múltiples posiciones a lo largo de la prolongación axial (7), tal como muestran las figuras 1 y 2, y de manera que a cada una de estas posiciones relativas le corresponderá una determinada sonoridad para la gaita.Well, from this structuring basic and conventional, the pointer of the invention centers its characteristics in the fact that the tongue of the pallet (5) does not it is directly mounted on the head (4) of the pointer proper (1), but it does so on a tuning spike (6) axially movable, together with the pallet (5), at along an axial extension (7) of the head (4) of the pointer (1), so that the spigot (6) is capable of adopting multiple positions along the axial extension (7), such as show figures 1 and 2, and so that each of these relative positions will correspond a certain loudness to Bagpipe.

Asimismo y como ya se ha apuntado con anterioridad, el espigo de afinación (6) estará obtenido a base de un material duro, como por ejemplo plástico, madera, metal u otro, y que para su fijación estable a la prolongación axial (7) del puntero (1) incorporará juntas tóricas u otros elementos similares, no representados, que inmovilicen el espigo de afinación (6), siendo necesario un notable esfuerzo para su cambio de posición, esfuerzo que solo ha de producirse de forma deliberada, es decir cuando el gaitero lo estime conveniente.Likewise and as already noted with previously, the tuning pin (6) will be obtained based on a hard material, such as plastic, wood, metal or other, and that for its stable fixation to the axial extension (7) of the pointer (1) incorporate o-rings or other similar elements, not represented, which immobilize the tuning pin (6), being You need a remarkable effort for your change of position, effort that only deliberately occurs, that is when the Piper deems it convenient.

Solo resta señalar por último que la especial configuración del dispositivo de la invención permite que dicha invención sea aplicable indistintamente a punteros fabricados de forma convencional como a punteros de nueva construcción.It only remains to point out finally that the special configuration of the device of the invention allows said invention is applicable interchangeably to pointers made of Conventional way as newly built pointers.
