Abstract

The system according to the invention presented herein is made up of a certain number of identical devices distributed evenly over the entire circumference of the instrument. Each device consists, on the one hand, of an endless screw (5) inserted into a housing (4), which housing is attached to a strap (7) which encircles the body of the instrument. Each device consists, on the other hand, of a rack (3) attached to a strap (2) which is fixed to the circumference of the membrane (1). By rotating the endless screw (5) and thereby acting on the rack (3), a tightening action is transmitted to the membrane. This tightening, when repeated for each device, will ensure that the membrane is taut.

Description

DESCRIPTION
Cette invention concerne un dispositif qui permet de régler la tension et l'accord de la membrane d'un instrument de percussion.DESCRIPTION
This invention relates to a device for adjusting the tension and tuning of the diaphragm of a percussion instrument.

Le système présenté ici est adapte à des instruments de forme complexe, de matière fragile, de technique de jeu digitale. The system presented here is adapted to instruments of complex shape, fragile matter, digital game technique.

Les systèmes utilisés dans l'état actuel de la technique sont constitués d'éléments rigides et ne peuvent donc s'adapter à une forme complexe (par exemple galbée). I1 en est de même pour la façon de monter la peau, son périmètre devant à tout moment s'adapter à la forme de l'instrument. The systems used in the current state of the art consist of rigid elements and therefore cannot adapt to a complex shape (for example curved shape). It is the same for the way of mounting the skin, its perimeter having to adapt at all times to the shape of the instrument.

Certains éléments constituant les systèmes utilisés dans l'état actuel de la technique sont fixés au corps même de l'instrument, ce qui n'est pas envisageable dans le cas d'une matière trop fragile étant données les forces engendrées par la tension d'une membrane utilisée sur un instrument de percussion. Certain elements constituting the systems used in the current state of the art are fixed to the body of the instrument, which is not possible in the case of a too fragile material given the forces generated by the tension of a membrane used on a percussion instrument.

Enfin, le type de jeu particulier à ces instruments de percussion digitale nécessite que l'instrument, une fois prêt à être utilisé, présente le moins de relief possible. A ce sujet les systèmes utilisés jusqu'à maintenant présentent des reliefs gênants ou pouvant même blesser le musicien. Finally, the type of game specific to these digital percussion instruments requires that the instrument, once ready to be used, present as little relief as possible. On this subject the systems used until now present embarrassing reliefs or which can even hurt the musician.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise en se référant aux figures. La
Figure 1 représente l'instrument équipé du système présenté ici. La Figure 2 représente une vue éclatée du même système. Les Figures 3, 4, 5 et 6 représentent en perspective et vues de côté, le carter du système de tension. La Figure 5 représente la vis sans fin de mise en tension. Les Figures 5 et 6 représentent la vis sans fin (5) encadrée dans le carter du système de tension (4).The present invention will be better understood by referring to the figures. The

Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6 show in perspective and side views, the tension system housing. Figure 5 shows the tensioning auger. Figures 5 and 6 show the worm (5) framed in the tension system housing (4).

LesFigures 7, 8, 9 et 10 représentent la membrane et la manière de façonner les ourlets (8 bis). La Figure 11 représente la couture de l'ourlet (8 bis).Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10 show the membrane and how to shape the hems (8a). Figure 11 shows the seam of the hem (8a).

Le système selon l'invention présentée ici est constitué d'un certain nombre de dispositifs identiques répartis régulièrement sur tout le pourtour de l'instrument. Le nombre de ces dispositifs dépend des dimensions de l'instrument. The system according to the invention presented here consists of a number of identical devices distributed regularly over the entire periphery of the instrument. The number of these devices depends on the dimensions of the instrument.

Chaque dispositif consiste d'une part, en une vis sans fin (5) insérée dans un carter (4), carter (4) accroché à une lanière (7), lanière (7) entourant le corps de l'instrument (6). Each device consists on the one hand, of an endless screw (5) inserted in a casing (4), casing (4) hung on a strap (7), strap (7) surrounding the body of the instrument (6) .

Chaque dispositif consiste, d'autre part, en une crémaillère (3) accrochée à une lanière (2), lanière (2) assujettie au pourtour de la membrane (1). Each device consists, on the other hand, in a rack (3) attached to a strap (2), strap (2) secured to the periphery of the membrane (1).

L3 rotation de la vis sans fin (5), en entrainant la crémaillère (3) transmettra une traction à la membrane (1), la crémaillère (3) devant être souple (par exemple en forme de ruban) pour pouvoir s'adapter à la forme de l'instrument tout en étant inextensible. Cette traction répétée à chaque dispositif, assurera la tension réguliere de la peau.Les lanières (2) et (7) devant être souples pour éviter toute sur pression sur le corps de l'instrument, ainsi que pour s'adapter aux mouvements d'une peau naturelle qui se déforme avec les différentes caractéristiques atmosphériques (température, hydrométrie, etc...) et devant s'adapter à la forme ou au galbe de l'instrument, et inextensibles pour pouvoir assurer une tension constante de la membrane. Les lanières (2) et (7) peuvent être réalisées de préférence en "KEVLAR" marque déposée, ce produit présentant les caractéristiques requises par le système présenté ici, c'est à dire souplesse et inextensibilité. L3 rotation of the worm (5), by driving the rack (3) will transmit a traction to the membrane (1), the rack (3) having to be flexible (for example in the form of ribbon) to be able to adapt to the shape of the instrument while being inextensible. This repeated traction with each device, will ensure the regular tension of the skin. The straps (2) and (7) must be flexible to avoid any pressure on the body of the instrument, as well as to adapt to the movements of a natural skin which deforms with the different atmospheric characteristics (temperature, hydrometry, etc.) and which has to adapt to the shape or the curve of the instrument, and inextensible to be able to ensure constant tension of the membrane. The straps (2) and (7) can preferably be produced in "KEVLAR" registered trademark, this product having the characteristics required by the system presented here, that is to say flexibility and inextensibility.

Selon un monde de réalisation la vis sans fin (5) représentée Figure 5 est insérée à l'intérieur d'un carter (4) représentée Figures 3 et 4 selon la Figure 6. Ce carter (4) venant s'accrocher par une patte extérieure (10) à la lanière (7), la vis sans fin (5) pouvant tourner à l'intérieur du carter (4) mais ne pouvant s'en échapper grâce à une patte (9), partie constituante du carter (4) qui entoure le col (12) de la vis (5), pourvue d'une butée (11) qui vient s' appuyer sur la dite patte (9) après resserrage de celle-ci. According to one embodiment, the endless screw (5) shown in Figure 5 is inserted inside a casing (4) shown in Figures 3 and 4 according to Figure 6. This casing (4) being hooked by a tab external (10) to the strap (7), the worm (5) being able to rotate inside the casing (4) but being unable to escape therefrom by means of a tab (9), a constituent part of the casing (4 ) which surrounds the neck (12) of the screw (5), provided with a stop (11) which comes to bear on said tab (9) after tightening thereof.

C'est à l'intérieur de ce carter (4) que le contact s'établira entre la vis (5) et la crémaillère (3), le pas de la vis sans fin (5) s'encastrant dans les dents de la crémaillère (3). Ta crémaillère (3) venant s accrocher par son ex trerii.te supérieure recourbée (13) à la lanière (2) réalisée par exemple en "KEVLAR", matir répondant aux exigences de souplesse d'une part, et d'inextensibilité d'autre part. La retenue de la lanière (7) peut être assurée par sa disposition tri (less0us d'un rétrécissement de la section du corps de 1 'ins- trument. It is inside this casing (4) that contact will be established between the screw (5) and the rack (3), the pitch of the worm (5) fitting into the teeth of the rack (3). Your rack (3) coming to hang by its curved upper ex trerii.te (13) to the strap (2) made for example in "KEVLAR", matir meeting the requirements of flexibility on the one hand, and of non-extensibility of somewhere else. The retention of the strap (7) can be ensured by its sorting arrangement (unless there is a narrowing of the section of the body of the instrument.
