Abstract

La présente invention se ] présente sous la forme d'une mécanique pour tension de cordes, adaptable sur la plupart des instruments de musique à cordes. La mécanique se compose de quatre pièces : (1) réceptacle, (2) visse sans fin, (3) pièce mobile, (7) rondelle indispensable pour le fonctionnement. Cette mécanique permet une tension de corde par simple rotation du bouton (4) vers la droite ce qui a pour effet d'avancer la pièce mobile (3) et de tendre la corde, ou bien d'une rotation vers la gauche : alors la corde se détend d'elle-même. Cette mécanique de par sa conception simple composée seulement de quatre pièces, fabriquée avec des matériaux classiques (acier ou alliage) ce qui permet une fabrication rapide de petites ou grandes séries. Cette mécanique se fixe facilement en applique sur la plupart des instruments de musique récents ou anciens. Cette mécanique est également encastrable. Ce dispositif selon l'inventeur et de par, un fonctionnement simple permet d'obtenir un réglage rapide de corde, ainsi qu'un ré-accordage moins fréquent que d'ordinaire.The present invention is in the form of a string tensioning machine, adaptable to most stringed musical instruments. The mechanism consists of four parts: (1) receptacle, (2) endless screw, (3) moving part, (7) washer essential for operation. This mechanism allows a rope tension by simply turning the knob (4) to the right which has the effect of moving the moving part (3) and stretch the rope, or a rotation to the left: then the rope relaxes itself. This mechanism by its simple design consists of only four pieces, made with conventional materials (steel or alloy) which allows a rapid production of small or large series. This mechanism attaches easily to apply on most recent or old musical instruments. This mechanism is also built-in. This device according to the inventor and par, a simple operation allows to obtain a fast setting of rope, and a re-tuning less frequent than usual.

Description

La présente invention concerne une mécanique adaptable sur la plupart des instruments de musique à cordes. La plupart des mécaniques ne permettent pas une tension stable et durable ce qui impose de ré-accordé fréquemment la plupart des instruments à cordes. La présente mécanique permet un accordage plus rapide, une meilleure tension de cordes et un accordage moins fréquent. Les dessins joint illustrent l'invention. La figure 1 représente en coupe l'invention. La figure 2 représente les quatre pièces détaillées composant l'invention. L'invention se compose en (1) d'un réceptacle percé en (10) et en (11) destiné à recevoir une vis sans fin (2) actionnée par rotation à l'aide d'un bouton (4) permettant la mobilité de la pièce (3) fileté en son perçage, cette même pièce (3) reçoit en sa cavité une corde à boucle. Une rondelle (7) est indispensable affin d'éviter un blocage du mécanisme. La vis sans fin (2) est réduite à ses extrémités (5) et (6) permettant le bon fonctionnement de l'invention, en formant une butée. Le réceptacle (1) est percé en (8) pour la fixation de l'invention, sur la plupart des instruments à cordes. Fixation en applique, ou, encastrable. Cette invention de mécanique pour tension de cordes, de fabrication simple avec des matériaux facilement abordables, permet une fabrication relativement rapide, en grand nombre, et applicable industriellement.The present invention relates to a mechanic adaptable on most stringed musical instruments. Most mechanics do not allow a stable and durable tension which requires re-tuning frequently most stringed instruments. The present mechanics allow for faster tuning, better string tension and less frequent tuning. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. Figure 1 shows in section the invention. Figure 2 shows the four detailed parts of the invention. The invention consists in (1) of a receptacle pierced at (10) and (11) for receiving a worm (2) actuated by rotation with a button (4) for mobility of the piece (3) threaded in its piercing, this same piece (3) receives in its cavity a loop cord. A washer (7) is essential to avoid a blockage of the mechanism. The worm (2) is reduced at its ends (5) and (6) allowing the proper operation of the invention, forming a stop. The receptacle (1) is pierced at (8) for fastening the invention, on most stringed instruments. Wall mounting, or recessed. This invention of mechanics for string tension, simple to manufacture with easily affordable materials, allows a relatively fast manufacturing, in large numbers, and applicable industrially.
