Abstract

Procédé de construction des violons, altos et violoncelles permettant de limiter les contraintes mécaniques imposées à la caisse de résonance à la seule pression du chevalet en faisant supporter toutes les autres contraintes par un manche occupant toute la longueur de l'instrument. Cette innovation permet une mise en vibration plus facile d'une part en libérant la caisse de contraintes inutiles et d'autre part par la possibilité de fabriquer une caisse plus légère.A method of constructing violins, violas and cellos to limit the mechanical stress imposed on the sound box at the pressure of the easel by making all other constraints bear by a handle occupying the entire length of the instrument. This innovation makes it easier to put vibration on the one hand by freeing the box of unnecessary constraints and on the other hand by the possibility of making a lighter body.

Description

Procédé de construction des violons, violons altos et violoncelles, libérant la caisse de résonance des contraintes liées à la tension des cordes et ne lui appliquant que la pression du chevalet.Method of constructing violins, violins and cellos, freeing the sound box from the stresses linked to the tension of the strings and applying only the pressure of the bridge.

Dans l’état actuel de la technique, la caisse de résonance d'un violon (altos et violoncelles) est soumise :In the current state of the art, the sound box of a violin (violas and cellos) is subject to:

-d’une part à la nécessaire pression que les cordes exercent sur le chevalet, -d’autre part à la tension longitudinale des cordes entre les chevilles et le sillet de la caisse.- on the one hand to the necessary pressure that the strings exert on the bridge, - on the other hand to the longitudinal tension of the strings between the ankles and the saddle of the body.

Cette tension des cordes entraîne des contraintes complexes et regrettables : compression longitudinale de la table et flexion de l’instrument comme le bois d’un arc est fléchi par la tension de sa corde.This tension of the strings involves complex and regrettable constraints: longitudinal compression of the table and bending of the instrument as the wood of a bow is bent by the tension of its string.

L’innovation consiste à faire intégralement supporter la tension des cordes par un manche qui se prolonge d’un bout à l’autre de l’instrument. La caisse de résonance, libérée des contraintes de compression, peut alors vibrer librement. De plus, ne supportant plus que la pression du chevalet, elle peut être construite moins robuste, plus légère, ce qui accroît encore la facilité de mise en vibration.The innovation is to fully support the tension of the strings by a handle that extends from one end to the other of the instrument. The sound box, freed from compression constraints, can then vibrate freely. In addition, supporting only the pressure of the bridge, it can be built less robust, lighter, which further increases the ease of vibration.

L’invention peut être réalisée en fabriquant un manche qui traverse toute la caisse de résonance. Figure 1 : Manche et son sillet.The invention can be achieved by manufacturing a handle which crosses the entire sound box. Figure 1: Neck and nut.

La caisse est enfilée sur le manche. Le sillet côté cordier est alors fixé sur le manche sans aucun contact avec la caisse.The box is threaded on the handle. The tailpiece side nut is then fixed on the handle without any contact with the body.

Figure 2 : un des deux orifices de passage du manche dans la caisse. Figure 3 : Sillet installé après insertion du manche dans la caisse. La pression du chevalet suffit à appliquer la caisse sur le manche sans aucun collage. Pour compenser le volume occupé par le manche à l’intérieur de la caisse, la hauteur des éclisses est augmentée en proportion.Figure 2: one of the two holes for passage of the handle in the body. Figure 3: Nut installed after insertion of the handle into the box. The easel pressure is enough to apply the box to the handle without any gluing. To compensate for the volume occupied by the handle inside the body, the height of the ribs is increased in proportion.

Claims (1)

1) Instrument tel que violon, violon alto et violoncelle caractérisé en ce que le manche de l'instrument se prolonge sur toute la longueur de l'instrument et supporte intégralement les forces de compression et de flexion liées à la tension des cordes, la caisse de résonance n'ayant plus à supporter que la seule pression du chevalet.1) Instrument such as violin, viola and cello characterized in that the handle of the instrument extends over the entire length of the instrument and fully supports the compression and bending forces linked to the tension of the strings, the body resonance having to bear only the pressure of the bridge.
