Description

La présente invention concerne un médiator pour instruments à cordes réalisé en deux parties séparables permettant de changer uniquement la partie usée par les cordes. Actuellement les médiators ne permettent pas ce changement. Ils sont en effet fabriqués en une seule pièce et lorsque la partie en contact avec les cordes se détériore, il faut remplacer le médiator dans sa totalité . Le médiator selon l'invention permet de remédier à ce problème, on peut changer uniquement la partie usée. De ce fait cela entraîne un coût moins important pour le guitariste amené à changer souvent de médiators. Il est composé de deux parties distinctes. Une pièce dont la prise en main par l'utilisateur se fait entre le pouce et l'index et comportant une rainure à l'intérieur de laquelle, sur une face dépassent deux tétons et sur l'autre se trouvent deux trous en face des tétons. L'autre pièce est une plaque comportant deux trous et se terminant à une extrémité par un plat. Lorsque l'on introduit la plaque à l'intérieur de la rainure jusqu' à ce que le plat vienne en butée contre le fond de la rainure, les tétons se retrouvent alignés en face des trous de la plaque et peuvent alors s'ajuster à l'intérieur de ceux-ci. Lors de la prise en main par l'utilisateur, le pouce et l'index exerce une pression sur les parties extérieures de la rainure ce qui permet de serrer la plaque à l'intérieur de celle-ci. A ce moment les deux parties sont parfaitement solidaires. Des lors une partie de la plaque se retrouve à l'extérieur de la rainure. Cette partie permet le jeu sur les cordes de l'instrument. The present invention relates to a pick for string instruments made of two separable parts to change only the part used by the strings. Currently the picks do not allow this change. They are indeed made in one piece and when the part in contact with the ropes deteriorates, it is necessary to replace the pick in its entirety. The pick of the invention overcomes this problem, we can change only the worn part. As a result, this entails a lower cost for the guitarist, who often has to change picks. It is composed of two distinct parts. A piece which the grip by the user is between the thumb and forefinger and having a groove in which, on one side exceed two nipples and on the other are two holes in front of the nipples . The other piece is a plate with two holes and ending at one end with a plate. When the plate is inserted inside the groove until the dish abuts against the bottom of the groove, the nipples are aligned in front of the holes of the plate and can then adjust to inside of them. During the grip by the user, the thumb and forefinger exerts pressure on the outer portions of the groove which allows to clamp the plate inside thereof. At this moment the two parts are perfectly solidary. Then part of the plate is found outside the groove. This part allows play on the strings of the instrument.

Pour une meilleure compréhension les dessins annexes illustrant l'invention ne respectent pas toutes les proportions : -la figure 1 représente une vue de côté de l'invention. -la figure 2 représente une vue de face la pièce (2) est nommée : la pince. la pièce (1) est nommée : la plaque. la partie de la plaque (1') est nommée : la pointe. La pince (2) comporte une rainure (8) située au milieu de son épaisseur, sur toute sa longueur et dont la profondeur est inférieure à la largeur de la pince (2). Le fond (7 ) de la rainure (8) se situe en retrait du bord de la pince (2) . A l'intérieur de la rainure (8) sur une face (B) se situent deux tétons (3) dont la hauteur est légèrement inférieure à la largeur de la rainure (8). Sur l'autre face (A) se situent deux trous (5) débouchant alignés en face des tétons (3) et dont le diamètre est supérieur à celui des tétons (3). For a better understanding the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention do not respect all proportions: FIG 1 shows a side view of the invention. FIG 2 shows a front view the part (2) is named: the clamp. the piece (1) is named: the plate. the part of the plate (1 ') is named: the tip. The clamp (2) has a groove (8) located in the middle of its thickness, along its length and whose depth is less than the width of the clamp (2). The bottom (7) of the groove (8) is set back from the edge of the clamp (2). Inside the groove (8) on one side (B) are two pins (3) whose height is slightly less than the width of the groove (8). On the other side (A) are two holes (5) opening aligned in front of the nipples (3) and whose diameter is greater than that of the nipples (3).

La plaque (1) est d'une épaisseur légèrement inférieure à celle de la rainure (8). Elle se termine à une extrémité par un plat (6) réalisé sur pratiquement toute sa largeur. A l'opposé de ce plat (6) et distant de celui-ci d'environ deux tiers de la longueur de la plaque (1) se situent deux trous (4) d'un diamètre permettant un ajustement sans jeu des tétons (3) à l'intérieur de ceux-ci. Selon le dispositif de l'invention la solidarisation entre la pince (2)et la plaque (1) se fait ainsi : on introduit la plaque (1) dans la rainure (8) jusqu'à ce que le plat (6) vienne en butée contre le fond (7) de la rainure (8). A cet instant précis les tétons (3) et les trous (5) de la pince , se retrouvent alignés en face des trous (4) de la plaque (1) . les tétons (3) viennent s'ajuster à l'intérieur des trous (4) de la plaque (1). Lors de la prise en main par l'utilisateur, le pouce et l'index de celui-ci exerce une pression sur les parties (C et D) de la pince (2) extérieures à la rainure (8). De ce fait les faces intérieures (A et B) viennent en contact avec la plaque (1) dans une action de serrage. Des lors la pince(2) et la plaque (1) sont parfaitement solidaire entre elles. Dans le cas ou les tétons (3) dépasserais de la plaque (1) les trous (5) de la pince sont là pour les accueillir , afin de permettre l'action décrite précédemment. Pour séparer la plaque (1) de la pince (2), il suffit de retirer les tétons (3) des Trous (4) de la plaque (1) en écartant les parties (C et D) de la pince permettant ainsi 20 de retirer la plaque (1) de la rainure (8) . A titre d'exemple non limitatif : -les cotes du médiator selon l'invention formé par la pince (2) et la plaque (1) sont d'environ 3,5 cm de longueur, 2,6 cm de largeur et de 0,6 cm d'épaisseur La pince (2) et la plaque (1) peuvent être réalisées en plastique ou autres dérivés 25 par moulage par injection. Elles peuvent aussi être réalisées par usinage dans la masse permettant ainsi d'utiliser différents matériaux tels que : -le bois, l'os , la corne , la pierre, le métal. dans le cas ou la pince (2) est réalisée par usinage , les tétons (3) seront rapportés à celle-ci.The plate (1) is of a slightly smaller thickness than that of the groove (8). It ends at one end by a flat (6) made over almost its entire width. In contrast to this plate (6) and distant from it by about two thirds of the length of the plate (1) are two holes (4) of a diameter allowing adjustment without play of the nipples (3). ) inside these. According to the device of the invention the connection between the clamp (2) and the plate (1) is as follows: the plate (1) is introduced into the groove (8) until the plate (6) comes into abutment against the bottom (7) of the groove (8). At this precise moment the pins (3) and the holes (5) of the clamp, find themselves aligned in front of the holes (4) of the plate (1). the nipples (3) fit inside the holes (4) of the plate (1). During the grip by the user, the thumb and forefinger thereof exerts pressure on the parts (C and D) of the clamp (2) external to the groove (8). As a result, the inner faces (A and B) come into contact with the plate (1) in a clamping action. Therefore the clamp (2) and the plate (1) are perfectly integral with each other. In the case where the nipples (3) would exceed the plate (1) holes (5) of the clamp are there to accommodate them, to allow the action described above. To separate the plate (1) from the clamp (2), simply remove the pins (3) of the holes (4) of the plate (1) by removing the parts (C and D) of the clamp thus allowing 20 remove the plate (1) from the groove (8). By way of non-limiting example: the dimensions of the pick according to the invention formed by the clamp (2) and the plate (1) are approximately 3.5 cm long, 2.6 cm wide and 0 The clamp (2) and the plate (1) can be made of plastic or other by injection molding. They can also be made by machining in the mass thus allowing to use different materials such as: -wood, bone, horn, stone, metal. in the case where the clamp (2) is made by machining, the pins (3) will be reported thereto.

30 Les cotes et les formes de la pince (2), de la plaque (1) ainsi que celles de la pointe (1') ne sont pas limitées , elles peuvent varier. L'utilisation du médiator selon l'invention est particulièrement destinée à tous Les guitaristes. The dimensions and shapes of the clamp (2), plate (1) and those of the tip (1 ') are not limited, they may vary. The use of the pick according to the invention is particularly intended for all guitarists.
