Abstract

The invention relates to a plectrum and to its support enabling the user of a plucked-string musical instrument to park his plectrum on a specific support in a place which he chooses, ready to hand. There is therefore incorporated into the plectrum a metal body which interacts with a magnet fixed to the support.

Description

L'invention concerne un médiator et son support permettant à l'usager d'un instrument de musique à cordes pincées de disposer de manière rationnelle d'un rangement pour le médiator dans un endroit à sa convenance0
Le médiator est un petit accessoire de forme sensiblement triangulaire et de faible épaisseur que l'usager d'un instrument de musique à cordes pincées tient entre les doigts de manière à pincer les cordes pour les faire résonner. Il est généralement réalisé en matière plastique et possède une certaine souplesse. Les instruments les plus courants nécessitant lluti- lisation d'un médiator sont le banjo, la mandoline et principaliement la guitare.
The invention relates to a pick and its support allowing the user of a plucked musical instrument to rationally have a storage space for the pick in a place suitable for him.
The pick is a small accessory of substantially triangular shape and thin that the user of a plucked musical instrument holds between his fingers so as to pinch the strings to make them resonate. It is generally made of plastic and has a certain flexibility. The most common instruments requiring the use of a pick are the banjo, the mandolin and mainly the guitar.

Le guitariste lorsqu'il ne se sert pas de son instrument a pour habitude de coincer le médiator entre les cordes de la guitare, mais aussi entre la table de l'instrument et la plaque de protection quand il en dispose, lorsqu'il ne le met pas tout simplement dans sa poche. Il résulte de ces rangements inadaptés des pertes fréquentes ou des égarements du médiator dont on ne dispose plus au moment voulu ; ce qui explique la grande consommation de médiators faite par ces instrumentistes. De plus, dans le jeu il est parfois nécessaire d'exploiter toutes les nuances de l'instrument et de se servir de ses doigts pour réaliser des arpèges.Dans ce cas, le guitariste coince momentanément le médiator entre la table de l'instrument et la plaque de protection quand il en dispose, ou pose le médiator sur un meuble ou sur tout objet à portée de main d'où il le reprend, cette partie musicale terminée, pour poursuivre. D'autres le coincent entre les dents ; ce qui est acceptable chez soi, l'est moins en concert. The guitarist when he does not use his instrument tends to wedge the pick between the strings of the guitar, but also between the table of the instrument and the protection plate when he has it, when he does not don't just put it in your pocket. It results from these unsuitable storage frequent losses or stray picks which are no longer available when needed; which explains the great consumption of picks made by these instrumentalists. In addition, in the game it is sometimes necessary to exploit all the nuances of the instrument and to use his fingers to make arpeggios. In this case, the guitarist momentarily wedges the pick between the table of the instrument and the protective plate when he has it, or places the pick on a piece of furniture or on any object within easy reach from where he takes it back, this musical part finished, to continue. Others wedge it between the teeth; what is acceptable at home, is less acceptable in concert.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et se propose de fournir un dispositif sous la forme d'un médiator associé à un support. The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes to provide a device in the form of a pick associated with a support.

A cet effet l'invention concerne un médiator et son support caractérisé en ce que le médiator comporte intégré un corps métallique associé à un aimant solidaire du support. To this end, the invention relates to a pick and its support, characterized in that the pick includes an integrated metal body associated with a magnet secured to the support.

Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention consistent essentiellement en ce que le dispositif de fabrication industrielle et d'un faible coût permet à l'usager d'un instrument de musique à cordes pincées de disposer sur un support spécifique placé dans un endroit à sa convenance et à portée de main d'un médiator facilement accessible et sous ses doigts dans la position où un geste naturel lta placé en en supprimant l'éga- rement et en en limitant au maximum la perte. The advantages obtained thanks to this invention essentially consist in that the industrial manufacturing device and of a low cost allows the user of a plucked musical instrument to have on a specific support placed in a place at his convenience. and within easy reach of an easily accessible pick and under his fingers in the position where a natural gesture has been placed by removing its error and limiting its loss as much as possible.

 cet effet le médiator comporte intégré un corps métallique associé à un aimant solidaire du support. To this end, the pick has an integrated metal body associated with a magnet secured to the support.

Le corps métallique peut être une pastille métallique. The metallic body can be a metallic tablet.

La pastille métallique peut Entre apparente sur au moins une face du médiator. The metal pad may be visible on at least one side of the pick.

L'aimant peut être fixé apparent arasé au centre d'un creux ménagé dans le support. The magnet can be fixed apparent leveled in the center of a hollow formed in the support.

Le creux du support peut être un creux circulaire de diamètre légèrement supérieur au cercle circonscrit du médiator et de hauteur au moins égale à llépaisseur du médiator de façon que le médiator ne fasse pas saillie du support. The hollow of the support may be a circular hollow of diameter slightly greater than the circumscribed circle of the pick and of height at least equal to the thickness of the pick so that the pick does not protrude from the support.

Le support peut hêtre indépendant de l'instrument. The support can be independent of the instrument.

La face arrière du support peut être pourvue d'un film adhésif de manière à coller le support sur la table de l'instrument. The rear face of the support can be provided with an adhesive film so as to stick the support on the table of the instrument.

La face arrière du support peut être pourvue dfune Spingle- badge de manière à fixer le support sur le vêtement de l'instrumentiste. The rear face of the support can be fitted with a Spingle-badge so as to fix the support on the player's clothing.

Le médiator et son support peuvent être réalisés en matière re plastique. The pick and its support can be made of plastic.

L'aimant peut etre fixé au centre d'un creux ménagé sur la table de l'instrument.  The magnet can be fixed in the center of a hollow formed on the table of the instrument.
