Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne une conception géométrique, une utilisation de matériau et une fabrication nouvelles pour les becs de toute la famille des saxophones afin d'optimiser leurs qualités acoustiques. The invention relates to a new geometric design, use of material and manufacturing for the mouthpieces of the whole family of saxophones in order to optimize their acoustic qualities.
On trouve traditionnellement soit des becs à grande ou moyenne chambre produisant un son rond et feutré mais mat ; soit des becs à petite chambre, formée de deux joues parallèles et d'un plafond bas, produisant un son tranchant et timbré mais étroit. We traditionally find either large or medium chamber mouthpieces producing a round and muffled but dull sound; either mouthpieces with small chamber, formed of two parallel cheeks and a low ceiling, producing a sharp and timid but narrow sound.
Le moulage, utilisé actuellement comme première phase de fabrication des becs en matières plastiques (ébonite) ou en métal (laiton, acier), limite le choix du matériau (colt de réalisation) et les possibilités de formes géométriques de chambre (problèmes de dépouilles négatives de moules en granaes séries) et occasionne, en grande production, une variabilité et des irrégularités de dimensions, formes et états de surface des chambres. The molding, currently used as the first phase of manufacturing plastic (ebonite) or metal (brass, steel) spouts, limits the choice of material (production cost) and the possibilities of geometric chamber shapes (negative draft problems of molds in series granaes) and causes, in large production, variability and irregularities in dimensions, shapes and surface conditions of the chambers.
Pour remédier à ces inconvénients et améliorer notablement les qualités acoustiques tant sur la pureté et la fluidité du son que sur le tranchant de 11 attaque, le timbre et la puissance, le bec, objet de la présente invention est caractérisé en ce que
- il comporte une chambre de section trapézoidale dont les deux joues forment un angle compris entre 100 et 20 , permettant d'associer un grand volume et un plafond bas pour produire un son à la fois rond et timbré.To remedy these drawbacks and notably improve the acoustic qualities both on the purity and the fluidity of the sound and on the cutting edge of the attack, the timbre and the power, the mouthpiece, object of the present invention is characterized in that
- It has a trapezoidal section chamber, the two cheeks of which form an angle between 100 and 20, making it possible to combine a large volume and a low ceiling to produce a sound that is both round and timbre.
- il existe, à la transition chambre/perce, une surface plane en forme de croissant, inclinée de OO à 5 par rapport à I'ar longitudinal du bec, rendant plus compact t plus puissant le son obtenu. - there is, at the transition from chamber to bore, a flat, crescent-shaped surface, inclined from 0 to 5 with respect to the longitudinal edge of the spout, making the sound obtained more compact and more powerful.
ro LlgulEl
- il est constitué d'un alliage à 90 %/d'aluminium écroui, entièrement usiné dans la masse à l'aide de machines convention- nelles à commandes numériques qui lui confèrent des formes très précises et constantes dans la fabrication avec de très bons états de surfaces. Un tel matériau, choisi pour ses qualités acoustiques exceotionnelles, les conserve pendant l'usinage sans subir les modifications de structure moléculaire et inclusions de microbulles d'air, néfastes à la pureté et la fluidité du son mais inhérentes au moulage. ro LlgulEl
- It is made of a 90% alloy / work-hardened aluminum, fully machined in the mass using conventional numerical control machines which give it very precise and constant shapes in manufacturing with very good surface conditions. Such a material, chosen for its exceptional acoustic qualities, preserves them during machining without undergoing the modifications of molecular structure and inclusions of air microbubbles, harmful to the purity and the fluidity of the sound but inherent in molding.
Les dessins annexés illustrent à titre indicatif l'invention
- la figure 3 représente le bec en vue de dessous.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention by way of indication.
- Figure 3 shows the spout from below.
- la figure 1 en est une coupe longitudinale suivant l'axe A.A. - Figure 1 is a longitudinal section along the axis A.A.
- la figure 2 en est une section tranversale suivant B.3. - Figure 2 is a cross section along B.3.
L'invention englobe toutes variantes au mode de réalisation ennoncé ci-aorès
Tout d'abord, le profil extérieur et la perce 5 du bec sont usinés dans la barre ronde, écrouie en alliage d'aluminium sur un tour à commandes numériques.The invention encompasses all variants of the embodiment stated above.
First of all, the external profile and the bore 5 of the spout are machined in the round bar, hardened in aluminum alloy on a lathe with numerical controls.
La table 6, la chambr 1 et la mentonnière 7 sont ensuite usinées sur une fraiseuse à commandes nurisues. The table 6, the chamber 1 and the chin rest 7 are then machined on a milling machine with hard controls.
La chambre 1 de section traézoidale, prend naissance sur le bombé de la table 6 et aboutit dans la perce 5 par le seul déplacement précis d'une fraise dont la cônicité détermine l'angle oC des deux joues 2 (compris entre 100 et 200). Ce déplacement longitudinal de la fraise cônique (visible en trait d'axe et en fin de déplacement sur Fig.1) engendre le profil du plafond 3, bas en bout de bec et haut côté perce 5, et fcre en fin de déplacement (à la transition chambre 1/perce 5) la surface plane en forme de croissant inclinée d'un angle ss compris entre oe et 5 . The chamber 1 of trapezoidal section, originates on the convex of the table 6 and ends in the bore 5 by the only precise movement of a cutter whose conicity determines the angle oC of the two cheeks 2 (between 100 and 200) . This longitudinal movement of the conical cutter (visible in the axis and at the end of the movement in Fig. 1) generates the profile of the ceiling 3, low at the end of the spout and high at the pierced side 5, and fcre at the end of the movement (at the transition chamber 1 / pierces 5) the flat surface in the form of a crescent inclined at an angle ss between oe and 5.
Une finition par anodisation colorée ou plaquage de métal précieux (par ex. : or) sera enfin effectuée. A finish by colored anodization or plating of precious metal (eg: gold) will finally be carried out.
L'invention vise en conséquence et ce à titre de produits industriels nouveaux, issus entièrement d'usinages successifs sans autre intervention manuelle, les becs de toute la famille des saxophones comportant application de semblable dispositions. The invention therefore aims, and this as new industrial products, entirely resulting from successive machining operations without any other manual intervention, the mouthpieces of the whole family of saxophones comprising application of similar provisions.
