Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>

Clé pour instrument à vent en bois de longueur réglable.  Woodwind wrench of adjustable length.

L'invention se rapporte à une clé pour instrument à vent en bois de longueur réglable.  The invention relates to a key for an adjustable length wooden wind instrument.

Il s'agit en particulier d'une clé"double Fa"pour hautbois ou d'une clé pour clarinette.  It is in particular a "double Fa" key for oboe or a key for clarinet.

La clé"double Fa"d'un hautbois est une clé récemment ajoutée sur le hautbois. Cette clé, située dans la partie médiane du hautbois (Fig. l), actionnée par l'auriculaire de la main gauche, se superpose à trois autres clés, elles aussi actionnées par l'auriculaire.  The "double Fa" key of an oboe is a key recently added to the oboe. This key, located in the middle part of the oboe (Fig. 1), actuated by the little finger of the left hand, is superimposed on three other keys, also actuated by the little finger.

Suite à la demande d'une partie des instrumentistes, une clé plus longue a été fabriquée par les inventeurs. En effet, pour atteindre cette clé"double Fa", il faut un écartement suffisant des doigts, sans lequel, ladite clé reste hors de portée.  Following the request of some of the instrumentalists, a longer key was manufactured by the inventors. Indeed, to reach this "double Fa" key, there must be sufficient spacing of the fingers, without which, said key remains out of reach.

Jusqu'à présent, pour monter cette clé plus longue fabriquée par les inventeurs, sur un hautbois, il était nécessaire d'effectuer une double opération (démonter la clé classique puis remonter la nouvelle clé plus longue).  Until now, to mount this longer key manufactured by the inventors, on an oboe, it was necessary to perform a double operation (disassemble the classic key then reassemble the new longer key).

Ceci entraînait une perte de temps considérable. This resulted in a considerable loss of time.

Il s'avérait aussi que, pour un confort de jeu, cette clé se superposant à d'autres, il pouvait être intéressant de régler celle-ci par rapport à la morphologie de la main de chaque instrumentiste.  It also turned out that, for playing comfort, this key being superimposed on others, it could be interesting to adjust this one in relation to the morphology of the hand of each instrumentalist.

Des clés semblables existent aussi sur une clarinette.  Similar keys also exist on a clarinet.

Le réglage de ces clés présente le même intérêt que pour la clé"double Fa"pour hautbois. The adjustment of these keys is of the same interest as for the "double Fa" key for oboe.

L'invention a pour but de résoudre ces problèmes avec une clé"double Fa"pour hautbois ou une clé pour clarinette, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend deux  The invention aims to solve these problems with a "double Fa" key for oboe or a clarinet key, characterized in that it comprises two

parties (2,3) mobiles en translation l'une par rapport à l'autre selon l'axe longitudinal de l'instrument et au moins un moyen de réglage, de positionnement et/ou de fixation.  parts (2,3) movable in translation relative to each other along the longitudinal axis of the instrument and at least one means of adjustment, positioning and / or fixing.

D'autres aspects et avantages de l'invention seront mieux compris au vu de la description suivante et en se référant aux dessins annexés qui représentent, à titre illustratif, respectivement : - la figure 1, la position de la clé double Fa sur un hautbois.  Other aspects and advantages of the invention will be better understood in the light of the following description and with reference to the appended drawings which illustrate, by way of illustration, respectively: - Figure 1, the position of the double Fa key on an oboe .

- la figure 2, un plan d'ensemble, à l'échelle 2, avec vue de face (2A) et vue de dessus (2B), - la figure 3, un plan éclaté de la clé selon l'invention.  - Figure 2, an overall plan, to scale 2, with front view (2A) and top view (2B), - Figure 3, an exploded plan of the key according to the invention.

Diverses solutions technologiques peuvent être utilisées pour adapter et fixer la position relative des deux parties de la clé.  Various technological solutions can be used to adapt and fix the relative position of the two parts of the key.

Le mode préféré de l'invention concerne un système comportant une spatule (3) et un bras (2) solidaire d'une charnière (1), ladite spatule (3) comportant au moins un alésage (3a, 3b), ledit alésage (3a, 3b) s'adaptant sur la charnière, laquelle constitue un guide de positionnement, et permettant la fixation de ladite spatule (3) sur ledit bras (2) par l'intermédiaire d'un moyen de serrage.  The preferred embodiment of the invention relates to a system comprising a spatula (3) and an arm (2) integral with a hinge (1), said spatula (3) comprising at least one bore (3a, 3b), said bore ( 3a, 3b) fitting on the hinge, which constitutes a positioning guide, and allowing the attachment of said spatula (3) on said arm (2) by means of a clamping means.

Deux alésages (3a, 3b) sont recommandés afin de préserver la rigidité. Le moyen de serrage retenu est constitué d'une vis (5), vissée dans le bras (2) et épaulée sur la spatule via une rondelle (4).  Two bores (3a, 3b) are recommended in order to preserve the rigidity. The retained clamping means consists of a screw (5), screwed into the arm (2) and supported on the spatula via a washer (4).

La charnière reçoit l'axe d'articulation de l'ensemble et l'extrémité du bras actionne indirectement l'ouverture ou la fermeture d'un trou de mélodie, lorsque l'auriculaire vient à appuyer sur l'extrémité de la spatule.  The hinge receives the articulation axis of the assembly and the end of the arm indirectly activates the opening or closing of a melody hole, when the little finger comes to press on the end of the spatula.

<Desc/Clms Page number 3> <Desc / Clms Page number 3>

La fabrication de la clé selon l'invention s'effectue selon le procédé décrit ci-après.  The key according to the invention is produced according to the method described below.

La spatule (3) est découpée par emporte pièce. La mise en forme de l'extrémité s'effectue par estampage. On procède ensuite à l'usinage des alésages oblongs (3a, 3b) et du biseau, puis au cambrage en matrice.  The spatula (3) is cut by a cookie cutter. The end is shaped by stamping. We then proceed to machining the oblong bores (3a, 3b) and the bevel, then bending into a matrix.

De même, le bras est découpé par emporte pièce. Les alésages, l'incrusté et le biseau sont ensuite usinés.  Similarly, the arm is cut by a cookie cutter. The bores, inlay and bevel are then machined.

On assemble alors le bras (2) et la charnière (1) par brasage. Après une étape de polissage, on argente la spatule (3) et le bras (2) par galvanoplastie.  The arm (2) and the hinge (1) are then assembled by brazing. After a polishing step, the spatula (3) and the arm (2) are silver plated by electroplating.

Les matériaux préférés utilisés sont le maillechort, le laiton, ainsi que tout alliage à base d'aluminium.  The preferred materials used are nickel silver, brass, and any aluminum-based alloy.

On assemble enfin les deux parties : on insère la charnière (1) dans l'alésage oblong (3a) et on fixe les deux parties par une vis de serrage (5), vissée dans le bras et épaulée sur la spatule via une rondelle (4).  Finally, the two parts are assembled: the hinge (1) is inserted into the oblong bore (3a) and the two parts are fixed with a clamping screw (5), screwed into the arm and supported on the spatula via a washer ( 4).

Le réglage de la longueur peut ainsi se faire aisément en dessérant la vis et en faisant coulisser la spatule sur le bras selon les deux alésages oblongs, jusqu'à la position désirée. Il suffit ensuite de resserrer la vis.  The length can thus be easily adjusted by loosening the screw and sliding the tip on the arm in two oblong bores, to the desired position. Then just tighten the screw.

La clé selon l'invention possède une plage de réglage conçue pour répondre à toutes les tailles de doigt, c'est- à-dire qu'elle possède un débattement de 5 mm environ.  The key according to the invention has an adjustment range designed to respond to all finger sizes, that is to say that it has a clearance of approximately 5 mm.

Selon une variante de l'invention, la clé"double Fa" comporte deux parties (2,3) possédant chacun une surface de contact crantée sous forme de crémaillère, ces crans permettant le réglage de la position. Celle-ci est ensuite maintenue par un index poussé ou tiré par un ressort.  According to a variant of the invention, the "double Fa" key has two parts (2,3) each having a notched contact surface in the form of a rack, these notches allowing the position to be adjusted. This is then held by an index finger pushed or pulled by a spring.

Selon une autre variante de l'invention, une des parties, bras (2) ou spatule (3), de la clé" double Fa" comporte une vis sans fin, l'autre partie comportant un  According to another variant of the invention, one of the parts, arm (2) or spatula (3), of the "double Fa" key comprises an endless screw, the other part comprising a
