Les différents éléments qui constituent cette sourdine ayant un profil sensiblement complémentaire de ceux des pavillons, bocaux et becs de manière à pouvoir être maintenus à l'intérieur de ceux-ci à une place définie. Chacun des éléments constituant cette sourdine est amovible à l'aide d'un support préhensible. elastically, able to equip the pavilions, jars and beaks of saxophones and clarinets. The various elements that constitute this mute having a profile substantially complementary to those of the flags, jars and beaks so as to be maintained within them at a defined place. Each of the elements constituting this mute is removable using a grippable support.
Selon l'invention, le matière déformable élastiquement, est apte à dimunuer la puissance du son émis. According to the invention, the elastically deformable material is capable of reducing the power of the sound emitted.
La présente invention concerne une nouvelle sourdine pour saxophone et clarinette. On sait que dans les instruments tels que le saxophone et la clarinette, le son est un phénomène vibratoire de l'air produit par l'excitation de l'anche sous l'effet du souffle du musicien. Le souffle étant considéré comme la source d'énergie nécessaire à faire vibrer l'anche. La perce de ces instruments est constituée par l'ensemble des trous, ouverts ou fermés, et leur pavillon. Cette perce permet de laisser échapper une petite partie de l'onde, issue du phénomène vibratoire, dans l'atmosphère produisant le son audible. The present invention relates to a new mute for saxophone and clarinet. We know that in instruments such as saxophone and clarinet, sound is a vibratory phenomenon of the air produced by the excitation of the reed under the effect of the musician's breath. Breath is considered the source of energy needed to vibrate the reed. The piercing of these instruments is constituted by all the holes, open or closed, and their flag. This bore allows to let a small part of the wave, resulting from the vibratory phenomenon, escape into the atmosphere producing the audible sound.
La présente invention vise à limiter la partie de l'onde qui s'échappe dans l'atmosphère et ainsi diminuer la puissance du son audible. The present invention aims to limit the part of the wave that escapes into the atmosphere and thus reduce the power of the audible sound.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une sourdine composée de différentes parties en matériaux souple et déformable élastiquement, apte à équiper les pavillons, bocaux et becs d'un saxophone ou clarinette, ces éléments constituants la sourdine ayant un profils sensiblement complémentaire de ceux des pavillons, bocaux et becs, de manière à pouvoir être maintenus dans ceux-ci à une place bien définie. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a mute composed of various parts made of flexible and elastically deformable materials, suitable for equipping the flags, jars and beaks of a saxophone or clarinet, these components constituting the mute having a substantially complementary profile of those of pavilions, jars and beaks, so that they may be kept in these at a definite place.
En outre, les caractéristiques du matériaux souple utilisé permet d'obtenir la limitation de la puissance du son émis par l'instrument sans modification des fréquences des notes jouées. Ces caractéristiques permettent de plus d'éviter l'absorption de l'eau de condensation provoquée par le souffle du musicien. In addition, the characteristics of the flexible material used makes it possible to obtain the limitation of the power of the sound emitted by the instrument without modifying the frequencies of the notes played. These characteristics also make it possible to avoid the absorption of condensation water caused by the musician's breath.
Dans une forme de réalisation préférée de cette sourdine, qui sera décrite ci-après plus en détail, les parties fabriquées dans le matériaux souple déformable élastiquement, sont réunies entre elles par un support cylindrique permettant de positionner les éléments de cette sourdine dans le pavillon, bocal et bec à une position définie. Ce support cylindrique permet en outre la manipulation des différentes parties. In a preferred embodiment of this mute, which will be described hereinafter in more detail, the parts made of the elastically deformable flexible material, are joined together by a cylindrical support for positioning the elements of this mute in the flag, jar and spout at a defined position. This cylindrical support also allows the manipulation of the different parts.
D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront dans la description détaillée qui va suivre, dans laquelle on se référera aux dessins annexés, qui n'ont pas de caractère limitatif. Sur ces dessins: Les figure 1 et 2 sont des vues en perspective éclatée d'une première forme de réalisation de la sourdine selon l'invention, d'un bec de saxophone, d'un bocal de saxophone et du pavillon du saxophone. Other features of the invention will appear in the detailed description which follows, in which reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, which are not limiting in nature. In these drawings: FIGS. 1 and 2 are exploded perspective views of a first embodiment of the mute according to the invention, a saxophone mouthpiece, a saxophone jar and the saxophone horn.
Les figures 3 et 4 sont des figures en coupe du bec, du bocal et du pavillon, montrant respectivement la partie du bec, du bocal et du pavillon sur laquelle la sourdine prend position. On se réfère d'abord aux figures 1 et 2 Sur ces figures, le bec de saxophone est désigné par la référence 1, le bocal par la référence 2, le pavillon par la référence 3. La partie de la sourdine conforme à l'invention, utilisée par le bec et par l'entrée du bocal est désignée par la référence 4a, la partie de la sourdine conforme à l'invention, utilisée par la sortie du bocal est désignée par la référence 4b, la partie de la sourdine confoline à l'invention, utilisée par le pavillon est désignée par le référence 4c. Figures 3 and 4 are figures in section of the beak, the jar and the flag, respectively showing the part of the beak, the jar and the flag on which the mute takes position. Referring first to Figures 1 and 2 In these figures, the saxophone mouth is designated by the reference 1, the jar by the reference 2, the flag by the reference 3. The part of the mute according to the invention , used by the spout and the inlet of the jar is designated by the reference 4a, the mute part according to the invention, used by the outlet of the jar is designated by the reference 4b, the mute part confoline to the invention, used by the flag is designated by the reference 4c.
La partie 4a de la sourdine est composée d'un support cylindrique rigide 5 reliant les éléments actifs 6 et 7 fabriqués dans la matière conforme à l'invention. Les éléments 6 et 7 sont disposés de façon fixe l'un par rapport à l'autre. L'élément 6 est de forme ovoïde à son extrémité libre et de forme plane à son extrémité reliée au support 5. La dimension extérieure de l'élément 6 est sensiblement complémentaire à la dimension intérieure du bec, permettant le maintient de la partie 6 à l'intérieur du bec. La partie 7 est de forme conique, sensiblement complémentaire à la forme intérieure du bocal 2a. Après emmanchement du bec 1 sur le bocal 2, la partie 4a de la sourdine devient invisible-figure 3. The part 4a of the mute is composed of a rigid cylindrical support 5 connecting the active elements 6 and 7 made of the material according to the invention. The elements 6 and 7 are arranged in a fixed manner with respect to each other. The element 6 is of ovoid shape at its free end and of flat shape at its end connected to the support 5. The outer dimension of the element 6 is substantially complementary to the inside dimension of the spout, allowing the maintenance of the part 6 to inside the beak.
