Abstract

The invention relates to modifications introduced by the use of titanium in the manufacture of the mechanisms of these instruments. By virtue of the strength and low weight of titanium, the volume of metal is decreased and the keywork is lightened. This has the effect of improving the sound of the instrument, decreasing its weight, increasing the strength of the mechanisms, promoting speed of execution by the instrumentalist and producing novel assemblies, in particular removing certain difficulties for the clarinettist.

b ) de diminuer le poids de l'instrument
Compte tenu de la haute résistance du Tit il est possible de diminuer , à rc'sistance mécanique égale le volume des clefs

a) improve the sound quality of these instruments
Given the fact that the timbre of these instruments is obtained by resonance of the wood, the loss of sound in the keys

will be proportional to the volume of metrai used; the use of Titanium to reduce this volume it reduces this loss
b) reduce the weight of the instrument
Given the high resistance of the Tit, it is possible to reduce the volume of the keys to mechanical resistance.

L'emploi du Titane permet d'augmenter la résistance propre de certaines pièces sans entrainer de poids o d'encombrement supplémentaire
d ) d'augmenter la vitesse d 'exécution de l'instrumentiste
Le temps de réponse des mécaniques se trouve diminué par l'emploi d'un métal plus léger ce qui permet au musicien d'obtenir une vitesse d'exécution plus élevée
e ) de réaliser des types d'assemblage nouveaux et de
fabriquer certaines pièces en une seule fois
La faible sensibilité du Titane à la chialeur permet d'obtenir une plus grande précision d'assemblage et , partant , de réaliser des assemblages d'un type nouveau dans des conditions industrielles . Par exemple , l'attache des bras des anneaux sur la charnière d'une clarinette présente une protubérance qui a pour effet de gérer 1 'instrumentiste Fig 1
Les qualités du Titane permettent un assemblage direct perpendiculairement Fig 2 ou en biais Fig 3 , du bras à 1 intérieur de la tige
L'emploi du Titane permet de réaliser en une seule fois , par matriçage par exemple , des pièces qui pour des raisons de poids et d 'cncomLrement , étaient travaillées en plu icurs morceaux avant assemblage. The use of titanium increases the inherent resistance of certain parts without causing additional weight or bulk.
d) increase the speed of the instrumentalist's performance
The response time of the mechanics is reduced by the use of a lighter metal which allows the musician to obtain a higher speed of execution
e) to carry out new types of assembly and
make certain parts in one go
The low sensitivity of Titanium to whining makes it possible to obtain greater assembly precision and, therefore, to produce assemblies of a new type under industrial conditions. For example, the attachment of the arms of the rings on the hinge of a clarinet has a protuberance which has the effect of managing the instrumentalist Fig 1
The qualities of Titanium allow direct assembly perpendicular to Fig 2 or at an angle Fig 3, from the arm to 1 inside the rod
The use of titanium makes it possible to produce, at a single time, by stamping for example, parts which, for reasons of weight and complexity, were worked in several pieces before assembly.
