Abstract

The handle has a key encrusted with pellet whose color represents a note, where the pellet is encrusted on each emplacements of the notes. The pellet comprise letters (1) corresponding to the note in a medium of a box and under a cord, where the letter is directed so as to be able to be read by a player. The pellet is made of plastic, where diameter of the pellet lies between 4mm and 6mm. An independent claim is also included for a manufacturing method for a handle.

Description

La présente invention concerne le design ornemental d'un manche de guitare qui facilite l'apprentissage de l'instrument Actuellement, les guitares ne possèdent pas de dispositif technique de marqueterie permettant une localisation facile des notes sur le manche. Tout au plus, disposent-elles d'incrustations en nacre symbolisant la nature de l'intervalle entre la case incrustée et la corde à vide. Cet état de fait rend difficile la localisation des notes sur le manche et par voie de conséquence la lecture d'une partition. Ainsi, l'apprentissage de l'instrument nécessite un effort de mémorisation des notes sur le manche, effort assez rebutant pour les débutants et qui peut entraîner un découragement prématuré. Nous proposons une solution technique permettant de matérialiser les notes sur un manche de guitare à l'aide de repères incrustés, et qui en plus d'assurer une fonction ornementale rempliront la fonction de faciliter la lecture. Le dessin représente la vue de face d'un manche de guitare dont la touche est incrustée de pastilles de couleurs estampillées d'une lettre A,B,C,D,E,F ou G (1). Ces lettres font référence au système anglo-saxon de notation de la musique et sont les équivalents des notes françaises : la, si, do, ré, mi, fa, sol. Les pastilles de même note auront la même couleur. Le diamètre des pastilles est compris entre 4mm et 6mm en fonction de la nature de la guitare (électrique, classique ou acoustique) sur laquelle elles seront incrustées. Les pastilles sont incrustées sur chacun des emplacements des notes - Do, ré, mi, fa, sol, la , si - au milieu de la case et sous la corde, et ce sur l'intégralité du manche de la guitare (d'un accordage standard de guitare : Mi aigu,si, sol, ré, la , mi grave). Les lettres sont orientées de manière à ce qu'elles puissent être lues par le joueur (2). La mise en oeuvre technique nécessite un perçage du manche sur chacune des cases où sont présentes les notes. Pour ce faire, il est préférable d'utiliser une défonceuse numérique programmée afin d'automatiser le perçage. Les pastilles sont ensuite incrustées manuellement à l'aide d'un minuscule point de colle. Pour faciliter le travail d'incrustation, il est conseillé de fretter le manche après avoir incruster des pastilles. Cette chronologie des tâches facilitera aussi le travail de finition. Les pastilles sont fabriquées en plastique selon la technique de l'injection. The present invention relates to the ornamental design of a guitar neck which facilitates the learning of the instrument Currently, the guitars do not have a technical device of marquetry for easy location of the notes on the neck. At most, they have mother-of-pearl inlays symbolizing the nature of the interval between the inlaid box and the empty rope. This fact makes it difficult to locate the notes on the neck and consequently the reading of a score. Thus, the learning of the instrument requires an effort to memorize the notes on the neck, a rather daunting effort for beginners and which can lead to premature discouragement. We propose a technical solution to materialize the notes on a guitar neck with inlaid markers, and in addition to providing an ornamental function will perform the function of facilitating reading. The drawing shows the front view of a guitar neck whose key is inlaid with pellets of colors stamped with a letter A, B, C, D, E, F or G (1). These letters refer to the Anglo-Saxon music notation system and are the equivalents of the French notes: la, si, do, ré, mi, fa, sol. The pellets of the same note will have the same color. The diameter of the pellets is between 4mm and 6mm depending on the nature of the guitar (electric, classical or acoustic) on which they will be embedded. The pellets are embedded on each of the note locations - C, D, M, F, L, S, S - in the middle of the box and under the string, and this on the entire neck of the guitar (of a standard guitar tuning: Mid treble, if, ground, re, la, serious mi). The letters are oriented so that they can be read by the player (2). The technical implementation requires a piercing of the handle on each of the boxes where the notes are present. To do this, it is preferable to use a programmed digital router to automate drilling. The pellets are then manually encrusted using a tiny dot of glue. To facilitate the work of inlay, it is advisable to fret the handle after embedding pellets. This chronology of tasks will also facilitate the finishing work. The pellets are made of plastic according to the technique of injection.
