Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne la réalisation d'un instrument de musique d'entrainement à la batterie, qui permet à l'élève de s'exercer dans des conditions d'utilisation analogues à celles de l'emploi d'une batterie classique sans néanmoins apporter de gêne sonore à l'environnement. The present invention relates to the production of a musical instrument for drumming training, which allows the student to exercise under conditions of use analogous to those of using a conventional drums without nevertheless bringing noise disturbance to the environment.
Le nouvel instrument peut également servir à des auditions normales, par exemple au sein d'une formation de musique de variétés. C'est donc une invention à double fin.
INTERET:
Les batteries d'entrainement qui existent actuel- lement, construites en plastique sur le modèle des batteries ordinaires, c'est à dire comportant une peau tendue sur un support, sont conçues en vue d'éviter le plus possible de 1' effet sonore susceptible d'apporter au voisinage une perturk. The new instrument can also be used for normal auditions, for example in a variety music band. It is therefore a double-ended invention.
INTEREST:
The training batteries which currently exist, constructed of plastic on the model of ordinary batteries, that is to say comprising a skin stretched on a support, are designed in order to avoid as much as possible the sound effect liable to bring a disturbance to the neighborhood.
bation bruyante.noisy bation.
De ce fait, le son produit ne correspond pas celui, d'une batterie réelle, ce qui n'incite pas l'élève à s'en servir. De plus, ces équipements exigent l'utilisation de cymbales véritables, dont les harmoniques aigus, très pén6- trantes, restent fort désagréables pour le voisinage et annihilent en pratique une grande partie du résultat recherché. As a result, the sound produced does not correspond to that of a real battery, which does not encourage the student to use it. In addition, this equipment requires the use of real cymbals, whose very harmonic high harmonics remain very unpleasant for the neighborhood and in practice destroy a large part of the desired result.
Si bien que l'utilisation de ces iastruments reste très réduite.So that the use of these iastruments remains very limited.
Il existe par ailleurs une batterie électronique d'origine britannique, destinée aux orchestres de variétés et dont la sonorité est agréable et fidèle, qui pourrait être utilisée éventuellement pour l'entraînement si l'on rempla çait son haut-parleur par un caqque, ce qui étoufferait les sons produits. Mais, outre son prix élevé ( de l'ordre de
trente mille francs ), les caisses de cette batterie sont
recouvertes d'une matière plastique très dure, dont le rebond
est tout à fait différent de celui d'une batterie ordinaire,
ce qui la rend inatilisable en pédagogie.There is also an electronic drum kit of British origin, intended for variety orchestras and whose sound is pleasant and faithful, which could possibly be used for training if one replaced his speaker by a caqque, this which would muffle the sounds produced. But, in addition to its high price (of the order of
thirty thousand francs), the cases of this battery are
covered with a very hard plastic material, the rebound of which
is quite different from that of an ordinary battery,
which makes it unusable in pedagogy.
A cet inconvénient s'ajoute le fait qu'il subsiste
un bruit résiduel dA au choc des baguettes sur la matière
plastique qui remplace la peau, et le fait que cette batte
rie exige également l'emploi de cymbales véritables, ce qui
8te tout intérAt à son emploi pour la protection de ltenvi-
ronnement sur le plan sonore comme il a été indiqué pour la
batterie d'entrainsment ci-dessus mentionnée.To this disadvantage is added the fact that it remains
residual noise due to the impact of the rods on the material
plastic that replaces the skin, and the fact that this bat
rie also requires the use of real cymbals, which
Any interest in its use for the protection of the
soundly as indicated for the
above-mentioned training battery.
Enfin, dernier point faible, la matière plas-
tique sur laquelle frappent les baguettes, est en contact di rect avec lo capteur, de sorte qu'en cas d'usage intensif
comme cela se produit pour Jn orchestre de variétés, il est
nécessaire de changer cette pièce fréquement ( tous les trois
ou quatre jours ), ce qui est très coûteux parceque cette
dernière est très chère.Finally, the last weak point, the plas-
tick on which the rods strike, is in direct contact with the sensor, so that in case of intensive use
as it happens for Jn variety orchestra it's
necessary to change this part frequently (every three
or four days), which is very expensive because this
last one is very expensive.
Pour toutes ces raisons, il est impossible de se
servir de cette batterie pour l'entrainement des élèves.
DESCRIPTION :
Le principe de la batterie selon l'invention
est très simple et permet d'éviter les inconvénients signa
lés ci-dessus parcequ'elle est conçue, précisément, pour
les éviter.For all these reasons, it is impossible to
use this battery for training students.
DESCRIPTION:
The principle of the battery according to the invention
is very simple and avoids the inconveniences signa
above because it is designed precisely to
Avoid them.
Le montage habituel des caisses de batterie,
c'est à dire le fat sur lequel est posée une peau coincée
dans une coulisse et mise en tension à l'aide d'un cercle métallique extérieur qui vient s'appuyer sur la coulisse fasce h l'action de tenseurs accrochés sur le eût i partir de coquilles fixées sur ce dernier, est remplacé par une structure originale composée de la façon suivante
la) un fat en plastique ou toute autre matière convenable ( 1 ), comportant un rebord intérieur ( 2 ), qui sert d'appui à la membranne ( 3 ) remplaçant la peau.The usual mounting of battery boxes,
ie the fat on which is stuck a skin
in a slide and tensioned using an external metal circle which comes to rest on the slide fasce h the action of tensors hung on the eût i from shells fixed on the latter, is replaced by a structure original composed as follows
la) a plastic fat or any other suitable material (1), comprising an inner rim (2), which serves as a support for the membrane (3) replacing the skin.
Une variante consiste à utiliser un fût ordi flaire et à maintenir la membranne remplaçant la peau par le cercle métallique modifié de façon appropriée
20) une membranne remplaçant la peau ( 3 ), composée d'une substance élastique plus ou moins mince choisie pour assurer un rebond analogue à celui d'une peau de batterie ordinaire, par exemple une feuille ( ou bande ) de gomme naturelle de 8 millimêtres qualité " shore 40 ".A variant consists in using a regular barrel and in maintaining the membrane replacing the skin by the appropriately modified metal circle
20) a membrane replacing the skin (3), composed of a more or less thin elastic substance chosen to ensure a rebound analogous to that of an ordinary battery skin, for example a sheet (or strip) of natural gum of 8 "shore 40" quality millimeters.
Cette memnbranne n'est pas tendue comme-le sont les peaux des caisses classiques, mais simplement maintenue par coinçage entre le rebord intérieur ( 2 ) du fût et une plaque d'appui ( 4 ) dite n vibrante n située au dessous de la membranne à l'intérieur du fût ,
30) une plaque de soutien dite n vibrante n ( 4 ) composée d'un matériau rigide, par exemple de l'acier inoxy- dable ou du bois, qui a pour rôle de transmettre les vibrations créées par la percussion de la baguette ou de la batte ( ou des baguettes ), à un micro ( 5 ) mis en contact avec cette plaque ou à un capteur d'impulsions branché direct- ment sur celle-ci. This memnbranne is not stretched as are the skins of conventional cases, but simply held by wedging between the inner rim (2) of the barrel and a support plate (4) called n vibrating n located below the membrane inside the barrel,
30) a so-called n vibrating support plate n (4) composed of a rigid material, for example stainless steel or wood, which has the role of transmitting the vibrations created by the percussion of the rod or the bat (or sticks), to a microphone (5) brought into contact with this plate or to an impulse sensor connected directly to it.
il est essentiel de noter que la plaque vibrante ( 4 ) ne doit pas être en contact avec un élément de la caisse autre que la membranne élastique qui s'appuie sur elle ( 3 ) et la matière isolante décrite au paragraphe suivant ( 6 ! placée au-dessous d'elle à l'intérieur du fEt comme il est indiqué ci-après,
40) un volume de mousse de polystyrène expansé ( 6 ) ou de toute autre matière souple et isolante analogue destiné A soutenir la plaque vibrante tout en isolant celleci électriquement et phoniquement du reste de la caisse.Ce volume est disposé autour d'un espace central où se trouve le micro ou le capteur d'impulsion ( 5 ) mentionné ci-après,
50). un micro ( 5 ) mis en contact avec la plaque vibrante ou un capteur d'impulsions branché directement sur celié-ci ( 4 ) et qui sera relié à un système électronique d'amplification, de coloration, de modulation et de réglage du son recueilli par le micro ou le capteur,
60) un couvercle ( 7 ) en plastique ou une autre matière destiné à maintenir l'ensemble de ce dispositif à l'intérieur du fût ,
70) une ou plusieurs prises permettant de relier le système électronique à des écouteurs ou à des hauts-par' ieurs ainsi qu là tout autre appareil électronique dont 1 1em- ploi pourrait être utile : lecteur de cassettes, platine, appareil de radio etc
Remarque : La structure ci-dessus décrite peut être mise en oeuvre de la même façon pour les cymbales./. it is essential to note that the vibrating plate (4) must not be in contact with an element of the body other than the elastic membrane which rests on it (3) and the insulating material described in the following paragraph (6! placed below it inside the fEt as shown below,
40) a volume of expanded polystyrene foam (6) or of any other similar flexible and insulating material intended to support the vibrating plate while electrically and phonically isolating it from the rest of the body. This volume is arranged around a central space where is the microphone or the pulse sensor (5) mentioned below,
50). a microphone (5) brought into contact with the vibrating plate or a pulse sensor connected directly to the latter (4) and which will be connected to an electronic amplification, coloring, modulation and adjustment system for the sound collected by the microphone or the sensor,
60) a cover (7) of plastic or another material intended to hold the whole of this device inside the barrel,
70) one or more sockets making it possible to connect the electronic system to headphones or loudspeakers as well as any other electronic device of which 1 1 employment could be useful: cassette player, turntable, radio device, etc.
Note: The structure described above can be implemented in the same way for cymbals./.
