Abstract

Device having two methods intended to prevent the wear, twisting and premature breakage of a percussion cymbal. The invention relates to a device which allows a cymbal, when it is struck, to have a rod which accompanies it in its tilting and returns it to its initial position in a very short time, in contrast to a traditional fixed and rigid rod. The first method of the device according to the invention is characterised by the addition of a balancer with three branches (7) (Fig. 1 & 2) (plate 1/2) to a cymbal rod (10) held by three return springs inside a hemisphere (1). This balancer rests on another rod (4) adjustable in height for tensioning the springs. The second method of the device according to the invention is characterised by the addition of a steel coil spring between a conventional cymbal rod (2) (plate 2/2 Figure 1) and a traditional cymbal support (1). The device according to the invention is in particular intended to accommodate percussion cymbals.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à améliorer le rendent, la longévité sonore et matérielle d'une cymbale de percussion. The present invention relates to a device intended to improve the rendering, the sound and material longevity of a percussion cymbal.

Une cymbale est traditionnellement mainetenue par un support faisant corps avec un axe fixe qui la pénètre par son trou central ce qui permet a son utilisateur de la frapper et de la laisser vibrer. A cymbal is traditionally maintained by a support forming a body with a fixed axis which penetrates it by its central hole which allows its user to strike it and let it vibrate.

Il est habituel qu'une cymbale s'use en son centre, très fréquent quelle se torde et se brise prématurément en raison de l'ex- trème rigidité de l'axe qui la maintient (sont particulièrement vulnérables les petites "splash" de 20 centimètres de diamètre et les t'crash" de 33 centimères qui doivent leur son clair et éclatant grace a leur mince épaisseur). It is usual that a cymbal wears in its center, very frequent that it twists and breaks prematurely due to the extreme rigidity of the axis which maintains it (are particularly vulnerable the small "splashes" of 20 centimeters in diameter and the t'crash "of 33 centimeters which owe their clear and brilliant sound thanks to their thin thickness).

En effet une cymbale frappée se balance violement sur son axe fixe et rigide et se trouve à chaque solicitation en porte à faux en rapport à cet axe d'ou l'usure, la tortion et la brisure de la cymbale, ce qui nuit très surement et fortement à la sonorité d'origine ce pourquoi elle a été choisie. Indeed, a struck cymbal swings violently on its fixed and rigid axis and is at each cantilevered solicitation in relation to this axis or the wear, the tortion and the breakage of the cymbal, which most certainly harms and strongly to the original sound which is why it was chosen.

Les procèdés du dispositif selon l'invention permettent de re merdier à cet inconvénient. The methods of the device according to the invention make it possible to avoid this drawback.

Premier procèdé : Il se compose selon une première caractéristique d'une sphère métallique fixée sur un support traditionnel de cymbale sur laquelle est fixé un axe traditionnel de cymbale.First process: It is composed according to a first characteristic of a metallic sphere fixed on a traditional cymbal support on which is fixed a traditional cymbal axis.

Lorsque l'utilisateur frappe la cymbale, celle-ci sonne et tout en étant maintenue sur son axe, elle peut se balancer dans toutes les directions sans effort sans porte à faux grace à son axe qui possède la caractèristique d'accompagner la cymbale lors de sa projection à la suite du choc et ensuite de la faire revenir dans position initiale dans un temps très bref. When the user hits the cymbal, it rings and while being held on its axis, it can swing in all directions without effort without overhang thanks to its axis which has the characteristic of accompanying the cymbal during its projection following the shock and then to return it to its initial position in a very short time.

Les dessins annexées illustrent l'invention
La figure 3 de la planche 1/2 représente une vue extèrieure du dispositif selon l'invention sans la cymbale et ses organes de maintient traditionnels sur l'axe.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention
Figure 3 of the plate 1/2 shows an external view of the device according to the invention without the cymbal and its traditional holding members on the axis.

La figure 1 represente en coupe le dispositif selon l'invention avec la cymbale (14) et ses organes de maintient (15) :
Une demie sphère métallique(1) en forme de récipient lQgére- ment recourbée tout le tour de son rebord supérieur(3) fait corps avec un support traditionnel de cymbale(2). Une tige filetée en acier (4) équipée d'une molette à sa base(5) pour la prise en main lors du serrage et desserage munie d'une bille d'acier a sa partie supérieure(6) est vissée et traverse en sa partie inférieure la demie sphère(1).Sur la bille(6) repose un balancier d'acier a trois branches(7) chacune équipée d'un ressort(8)à son extrèmité et chaque autre extrèmité des ressorts vient s'accrocher à l'in- térieur de la sphère(9). Faisant corps avec le balancier(7), l'axe traditionnel de cymbale(10) muni d'un pas de vits(11) traverse une autre demi-sphère métallique en forme de cloche(12) biseautée tout le tour de son rebord(13).FIG. 1 represents in section the device according to the invention with the cymbal (14) and its holding members (15):
A half metallic sphere (1) in the shape of a container slightly curved all the way around its upper edge (3) forms a body with a traditional cymbal support (2). A threaded steel rod (4) equipped with a wheel at its base (5) for grip when tightening and loosening provided with a steel ball at its upper part (6) is screwed and crosses in its lower part the half sphere (1) .On the ball (6) rests a steel balance with three branches (7) each equipped with a spring (8) at its end and each other end of the springs comes to hang on inside the sphere (9). Being integral with the balance (7), the traditional cymbal axis (10) provided with a speed step (11) crosses another metallic hemisphere in the shape of a bell (12) bevelled all around its rim ( 13).

Deux ailettes(16) font corps avec l'axe traditionnel ou est posée la cymbale(14) maintenue par l'écrou papillon traditionnel(15) vissé à l'extrêmité de l'axe(iO).  Two fins (16) are integral with the traditional axis or is placed the cymbal (14) held by the traditional wing nut (15) screwed to the end of the axis (iO).

La figure 2 représente vu du dessus le balancier a' trois branches(7) muni des ressorts(8). FIG. 2 represents seen from above the balance with three branches (7) provided with springs (8).

Lorsque la cymbale est frappée, elle entraine avec elle l'axe(1D) sur lequel elle est fixée, le dome en forme de cloche(12) et le balancier(7) qui est aisément mobile sur l'extrèmité de l'axe(4) grace à la bille(6) et à ce moment l'un ou l'autre des trois ressort(8) amortit le choc en s'étirant et ensuite ramène le tout en un temps très bref à sa position initiale en revenant à sa taille normale. When the cymbal is struck, it carries with it the axis (1D) on which it is fixed, the dome in the shape of a bell (12) and the pendulum (7) which is easily movable on the end of the axis ( 4) thanks to the ball (6) and at this time one or the other of the three springs (8) absorbs the shock by stretching and then brings everything back in a very short time to its initial position by returning to its normal size.

Si le dispositif devait possèder une plus grande dureté soit que la cymbale est plus ourde ou blen qu'elle doive pencher moins loin, il suffit de visser l'axe(4) grace à la molette(5) dans le but de tendre les ressorts de rappel(8). If the device had to have a greater hardness either that the cymbal is more curved or blen that it must lean less far, it is enough to screw the axis (4) thanks to the thumb wheel (5) in order to tension the springs recall (8).

Les ailettes(16)servent à maintenir l'axe(10) afin d'éviter la tortion des ressorts(8) lors du vissage de la cloche(12) jusque lâ maintenue ouverte grace au ressort(17) pour que la partie(13) de la cloche(12) vienne épouser la partie(3) de la demi-sphère(1), dans le but d'obtenir une sphère entière et homogène utilisée ainsi soit pour les besoins d'un transport ou bien si l'axe de cym balle(10) devait possède une rigidité traditionnelle. The fins (16) are used to hold the axis (10) in order to avoid the twisting of the springs (8) when the bell (12) is screwed until it is kept open by the spring (17) so that the part (13 ) of the bell (12) comes to marry the part (3) of the hemisphere (1), in order to obtain a whole and homogeneous sphere thus used either for the needs of a transport or if the axis of cym ball (10) should have a traditional rigidity.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif le dispositif selon l'invention avec le support traditionnel aura des dimensKions de l'ordre de 20 centimètresde hauteur sur 8 centimètres de largeur. By way of nonlimiting example, the device according to the invention with the traditional support will have dimensions of the order of 20 centimeters in height by 8 centimeters in width.

Deuxième procèdé , illustration de l'invention planche 2/2 fig.1
Il se compose selon une première catactèristique d'un support traditionnel de cymbale(1) et d'un axe traditionnel cymbale (2) entre lesquels est adjoint un ressort boudin d'acier(4) qui serre à chacune des ses extrèmités les parties(7) et (8). Second process, illustration of the invention plate 2/2 fig.1
It is composed according to a first characteristic of a traditional cymbal support (1) and a traditional cymbal axis (2) between which is added a steel rod spring (4) which clamps the parts at each of its ends ( 7) and (8).

Lorsque l'utilisateur frappe la cymbale(5), celle-ci sonne et tout en étant maintenue sur son axe(2) par l'écrou papillon (6), peut se balancer et accuser un coup violent sans effort grace à la flexibilité du ressort absorbateur de chocs qui possède la caractéristique de se plier et de faire revenir ensuite la cymbale et son axe dans leur position initiale en un teins très bref. When the user hits the cymbal (5), it rings and while being held on its axis (2) by the wing nut (6), can swing and show a violent blow without effort thanks to the flexibility of the shock absorbing spring which has the characteristic of bending and then returning the cymbal and its axis to their initial position in a very brief shade.

Les deux ailettes(3) sont utilisées afin de maintenir l'axe (2) d'une main pour éviter la tortion du ressort(4) lors du vissage de 11 écrou papillon(6) pour le maintient de la cymbale(5) ce qui nuierait a un bon serrage. The two fins (3) are used to hold the axle (2) with one hand to avoid the tortion of the spring (4) when screwing 11 wing nut (6) to maintain the cymbal (5) ce which would hinder a good tightening.

La figure 2 représente une variante du dispositif selon l'invention caractèrisée par un fort caoutchouc plein de forme cylindrique possèdant un orifice à chacune de ses extrèmité et qui viendrait serrer les parties(7) et (8) en remplacement du ressort (4). 2 shows a variant of the device according to the invention characterized by a strong solid rubber of cylindrical shape having an orifice at each of its ends and which would tighten the parts (7) and (8) in place of the spring (4).

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le dispositif selon l'invention aura des dimensions avec le support traditionnel(1) de l'or- dre de 15 centimètres de hauteur sur 5 centimètres d'épaisseur. By way of nonlimiting example, the device according to the invention will have dimensions with the traditional support (1) of the order of 15 centimeters in height by 5 centimeters in thickness.

Les dispositifs selon l'invention sont destinés à recevoir des cymbales de percussion.  The devices according to the invention are intended to receive percussion cymbals.
