DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a music stand apparatus for a keyboard instrument in which a music score is held by a music rest and a music score plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a music stand apparatus for a keyboard instrument which is configured to be able to hold a music score by a music rest and a music score plate is widely known. In general, in the case of a keyboard instrument, the vicinity of the music stand device including the top plate is easily noticeable and is an important part in design.
On the other hand, in consideration of the case where many music sheets need to be placed on a music stand apparatus such as a long music piece, a music stand apparatus having a configuration in which a music stand is made close to the length of almost the entire width of the musical instrument body is also known. .

[0003]

However, in the above conventional music stand apparatus, both the music rest and the music board are provided on the upper surface of the top plate provided on the top surface of the musical instrument main body. Often seen, the front end (the end on the operator side) of the top plate is clearly visible to the player and strongly affects the quality of the appearance. For this reason, the top plate is often made to have a high-class feel by giving it a thickness. In addition, it is a general tendency for the top plate to be thick because it is useful for securing rigidity.

As described above, in terms of the function of the music stand apparatus, there is no remarkable difference between the arrangements of the respective components and the overall configuration of the music stand apparatus.
From a design point of view, all products were similar and it was difficult to come up with features without excessive costs. This is the same as above, even when the music receiver is configured to extend over substantially the entire width of the musical instrument main body, as long as it is provided on the top surface of the top plate.

[0005] In the future, in designing a music stand device such as a music rest, it is desired to give due consideration not only to functions but also to design requirements.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to be able to easily arrange a large number of musical scores and to provide a high-class feeling at a low production cost. It is an object of the present invention to provide a musical instrument stand for a keyboard instrument capable of performing the following.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a musical instrument stand for a keyboard instrument, wherein the musical instrument is configured to be capable of holding a musical score with a music rest and a musical score plate. In the apparatus, the musical score plate is provided on an upper surface of a top plate provided on a top surface of the keyboard instrument main body, and the musical score receiver is
It is characterized by being provided continuously with the top portion of the top plate over substantially the entire length in the key arrangement direction of the top plate.

According to this structure, the music rest is continuously provided over substantially the entire length in the key arrangement direction of the top plate provided on the top surface of the keyboard instrument body, so that, for example, an auxiliary music plate or the like is leaned on the music plate. Accordingly, it is possible to easily cope with a case where many musical scores are held. In addition, since the music rest is connected to the frontmost part of the top board, the front end of the top board is hidden by the music rest and is hardly recognized by the player, and the true thickness of the top board is hardly recognized. Moreover, an illusion is created as if the top plate had the same thickness as the music rest. Therefore, there is a degree of freedom in the design, such as obtaining a design effect in the form of the music rest itself without actually increasing the thickness of the top plate itself. It can be designed so that it does not cost. Therefore, it is easy to cope with arranging a large number of musical scores, and it is possible to give a sense of quality at a low production cost.

In order to achieve the above object, a music stand apparatus for a keyboard instrument according to a second aspect of the present invention is provided with an erecting means for erecting a music plate on an upper surface of a top plate provided on a top surface of the keyboard instrument body, and an erecting means. A music stand apparatus for a keyboard instrument comprising a music rest capable of holding a music score in cooperation with the music score plate, wherein the music score rest is located at the front of the top plate over substantially the entire length in the key arrangement direction of the top plate. And a thickness that is larger than the thickness of the top plate.

[0010] With this configuration, the music stand is erected on the upper surface of the top plate provided on the top surface of the main body by the erecting means, and the erect music plate and the music receiver cooperate to hold the music score. Since the music rest is continuously provided over substantially the entire length in the key arrangement direction of the top plate provided on the top surface of the keyboard instrument main body, many music scores are held by, for example, leaning an auxiliary music plate or the like on the music plate. Can be easily handled. Alternatively, if a long musical score plate corresponding to the musical score length is prepared and is configured to be able to be raised by the standing means, more musical scores can be held more appropriately. In addition, the music rest is connected to the front of the top plate, and the thickness of the music rest is made thicker than the top plate, so the front end of the top plate is hidden by the music rest, making it difficult for the player to see it. The true thickness of the board is less likely to be perceived. Moreover, an illusion is created as if the top plate had the same thickness as the music rest. Therefore, the degree of freedom in design arises, such as obtaining a design effect by the thickness and form of the music rest itself without actually increasing the thickness of the top plate itself, so that it is expensive, but excessively large. It can be designed to be inexpensive. In addition, the music rest is thicker than the top plate and is connected to the forefront of the top plate, so it functions as a reinforcing material, ensuring the overall rigidity even if the top plate is made thin. it can. Therefore, it is easy to cope with arranging many musical scores, and it is possible to obtain a sense of quality at a low production cost while securing rigidity.

In the present embodiment, the player side of the instrument main body 1 is referred to as the front.

FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view taken along line AA of FIG.

The lid 9 is guided by mountain plates 10 provided on the inner surfaces of the left and right side plates 7L and 7R so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. In the figure, the lid 9 is in the open state. The keyboard unit 5 includes a white key 11 and a black key 12. The operation panel 6 is provided with various operators for adjusting the volume and tone and for special effects (not shown). Top plate 2
It is configured to have a length extending between the left and right side plates 7L and 7R, and is provided on the top surface of the musical instrument main body 1 so as to be sandwiched between the both side plates 7L and 7R.

The music score plate 3 is provided on the upper surface 2 a of the top plate 2. A pin 14 is attached to a lower end portion of the music score plate 3, and a hole 2 c is formed in the top plate 2 corresponding to the pin 14. The pin 14 and the hole 2c are respectively provided at two places (standing means). The musical score plate 3 is formed by inserting the pin 14 into the hole 2 c of the top plate 2.
It is configured so that it can be attached by inserting it into the camera and can be removed when not needed. Music board 3
As shown in the figure, the music score plate 3 is attached to the top surface 2 d of the
a rises obliquely so that “a” is substantially flush with the front end surface 2 b of the top plate 2.

The musical score receiver 4 is connected to the frontmost portion 2 d of the top board 2. The musical score receiver 4 is formed to have substantially the same width as the top board 2, that is, a length that extends over substantially the entire length of the top board 2 in the key arrangement direction. The musical score receiver 4 has a front half 4a having a substantially wedge-shaped cross section, and the thickness thereof is increased toward the front by the inclined receiving surface 4c, and the thickness at the front end 4d is larger than the thickness of the top plate 2. Have been. Music score 4
Is formed in a flat plate shape. Further, the music rest 4 is made of a wood material and the front end 4d has a curved surface finish so that the appearance is improved.

The music rest 4 is fixed to the top plate 2 by attaching the latter half 4b to the lower surface of the frontmost portion 2d of the top plate 2 with a plurality of screws 13. With the music rest 4 fixed to the top 2, the top 4 e of the front end 4 d of the music rest 4 is substantially flush with the upper surface 2 a of the top 2, and the music board 3 is removed. When an object is temporarily placed on the musical instrument main body 1, the object is stabilized. Further, since the musical score receiver 4 is arranged close to the operation panel 6, the operation is easy and the usability is improved.

In this configuration, the music score 8 can be placed when the music score plate 3 is attached to the top plate 2. That is, the rear surface of the musical score 8 is held by the holding surface 3a of the music score plate 3 standing up, and the lower end of the musical score 8 is held by the receiving surface 4c of the musical score receiver 4. Since the position of the receiving surface 4c of the musical score receiver 4 is lower than the position of the upper surface 2a of the top plate 2, a holding area higher by the thickness of the top plate 2 is secured at the position of the top portion 4e which is the front end. .

FIG. 3 is an external perspective view showing a replacement music plate (FIG. 3A) and an auxiliary music plate (FIG. 3B).

A replacement music score plate 3 'shown in FIG.
It is different from the music score plate 3 in that it is longer than the music score plate 3, but the other configuration is the same. Replacement music board 3 '
Pins 14 of the same size are attached to the lower end of the music sheet 3 at the same pitch as in the case of the music score plate 3.

When many musical scores are to be arranged like a long piece of music, the musical score plate 3 is not long enough. In this case, a replacement music plate 3 ′ is erected on the top plate 2 instead of the music plate 3. Further, as described above, the musical score receiver 4 has a length similar to that of the top board 2. Therefore, the long music score can be sufficiently arranged by the replacement music score plate 3 'and the music score tray 4.

The auxiliary music score plate 15 shown in FIG. 1B is formed to be longer than the music score plate 3 with thick paper or the like, and is configured to be foldable. When many musical scores are to be arranged, the musical score plate may be replaced with a replacement musical score plate 3 'as described above.
5 may be used. That is, the auxiliary musical score plate 15 may be placed in an open state on the front surface (holding surface 3a) of the musical score plate 3, and the musical score 8 may be placed in front of the auxiliary musical score plate 15 (not shown). Even in this case, the object can be sufficiently achieved.

According to the present embodiment, the musical score receiver 4 is provided over substantially the entire length of the top plate 2 in the key arrangement direction, so that many musical scores can be held by using the auxiliary musical score plate 15 together. In addition, since it is configured to be replaceable with a long replacement music score plate 3 ', it is possible to easily cope with a case where it is desired to hold many music scores more appropriately.

Moreover, the music rest 4 is the frontmost portion 2d of the top plate 2.
, The front end face 2b of the top board 2 is hidden by the music rest 4 and not easily recognized by a player, and the true thickness of the top board 2 is not easily recognized. The illusion of having the same thickness as the music rest 4 is caused. Since the thickness of the music receiver 4 at the front end 4d is formed to be thicker than the thickness of the top plate 2,
Is actually recognized as though it is an extremely thick member despite being formed thin. Furthermore, since the front end face 2b of the top plate 2 which is normally visually conspicuous is inconspicuous, and instead the front end 4d of the music receiver 4 becomes conspicuous, the front end 4d of the music receiver 4 is processed with good appearance. Excellent design effects can be easily obtained. in addition,
The thickness of the front end portion 4d of the musical score receiver 4 is thicker than the thickness of the top plate 2 and is connected to the frontmost portion 2d of the top plate 2, so that it extends along the key longitudinal direction of the longitudinal section including the top plate 2. The second moment of area with respect to the axis becomes large, and the reduction in rigidity due to the thin top plate 2 can be sufficiently compensated. In addition, since the top plate 2 can be made thin, material costs can be reduced and weight can be reduced.

As described above, since the image can be largely changed by the thickness and form of the music rest 4 itself without actually increasing the thickness of the top plate 2 itself, the degree of freedom in design arises and the cost becomes high. It doesn't cost too much for the feel. In addition, the rigidity around the top plate 2 can be effectively improved. Therefore, it is easy to cope with arranging many musical scores, and it is possible to obtain a sense of quality at a low production cost while securing rigidity.

Also, a plurality of types of replacement music score plates 3 ′ are
If the pitch and the size of the pins 14 are prepared in common, it is possible to use a pin having an optimum size according to the situation.

When the auxiliary music plate 15 is exclusively used, it is not always necessary to make the music plate 3 replaceable. A hinge and a supporting member are used as means for erecting the music plate 3 on the top plate 2. Alternatively, other means such as a combination with a fixed standing means may be employed.

It should be noted that the auxiliary music score plate 15 may be a two-fold thick material. Alternatively, the present invention is not limited to the folding type, and may be a single long object.

(Second Embodiment) The music stand apparatus according to the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of the music rest, and the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment. is there.

FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view corresponding to FIG. 2 of the keyboard musical instrument main body according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the musical score receiver 4 'is formed with a ridge 4f extending over the entire length. The music rest 4 ′ is an upper surface 2 a of the frontmost portion 2 d of the top plate 2.
It is installed continuously. That is, with the music rest 4 ′ attached to the top 2, the ridge 4 f is
It is formed so that it may become flush. The configuration of the other parts is the same as that of the music rest 4 in the first embodiment.

The musical score plate 3 is attached to a musical score holder 4 'by pins or the like.
It stands obliquely so as to be substantially flush with the front surface 4g of f. Note that the lower part of the music plate 3 is formed thick, and the music plate 3 is
You may comprise so that it may be attached to.

When the musical score receiver 4 'is attached to the top board 2, as shown in the figure, the front end face 2b of the top board 2 is entirely covered with the ridge 4f. Therefore, not only is the true thickness of the top board 2 less recognizable than in the first embodiment, but also the illusion that the top board 2 is integral with the music rest 4 'is generated. In particular, since the ridge 4f is flush with the upper surface 2a of the top plate 2, it is easy to cause an illusion that the ridge 4f is an integral object. Since the contact surface of the second member 2 with the front end portion 2b is hidden, the tendency is further enhanced. Therefore, even if the top plate 2 is formed thin, it is possible to easily give a high-quality feeling as a whole by forming the music rest 4 'itself with good appearance.

Further, the presence of the ridges 4f further increases the second moment of area, so that the reinforcing effect can be further enhanced.

According to the present embodiment, as compared with the first embodiment, not only the same effect can be obtained in arranging many musical scores, but also a high-grade feeling can be obtained at a low production cost while securing rigidity. It is easier to get out.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the music rest is connected to the foremost part of the top plate, and the music plate is detachably attached to the top plate by the upright means. In addition, the music rest can be assimilated with the top plate, and it can be seen as if it forms part of the top plate, or it can be seen as if the top plate itself is decorated. The assimilation function also has the effect of allowing the user to concentrate on the performance without discomfort when performing the memorized score without a music stand.
