Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bell device which can obtain a variety of sounds and has a long lingering sound.

The applicant of the present invention has proposed a Buddha phosphorus that spreads the sound all around without disturbing the vibration of the phosphorus part (Patent Document 1).
Since the phosphorus portion disclosed in this publication has a bowl shape with the open portion facing downward, there is a limit to the width of the tone that can be obtained.
The inventor of the present invention has studied a bell device that can obtain a wide variety of tones without being limited to Buddha phosphorus. As a result, the present invention has been achieved.

Japanese Patent No. 4907141

  An object of the present invention is to provide a bell device capable of obtaining various tones and a long lingering sound.

The bell device according to the present invention is characterized in that a resonator including a plurality of resonating portions is swingably supported by a support member.
Here, the term "resonator comprising a plurality of resonators" means that two or three or more resonators are provided in a branched manner from the center of the resonator.

In the present invention, the means for swingably supporting the resonator with the support member may be a means for placing and supporting a central portion of the resonator from the lower side at the tip of the support member.
The means for swingably supporting the resonator with the support member may be such that a central portion of the resonator and the support member are connected by an elastic material.
When connecting with an elastic material, the resonator can be supported not only from below but also suspended from above.

  The bell device according to the present invention has a plurality of resonating portions in the resonator and these are supported so as to be swingable. Therefore, when a certain resonating portion is struck, the plurality of resonating portions are shaken while the resonator is shaken. Since the two resonators resonate with each other, a wider variety of timbres can be produced than the single bowl-shaped resonator shown in Patent Document 1.

(A) shows a configuration example of a bell device according to the present invention, and (b) shows a state where a resonator is removed from a support member. (A) is a plan view of the bell device, (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA, and (c) is a perspective view seen from above. (A) shows Embodiment 2 of the bell device, and (b) shows Embodiment 3. Example 4 is shown.

  Hereinafter, a configuration example of the bell device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The bell device according to the present invention includes a resonator 20 and a support member 11 that supports the resonator.
The present embodiment is an example in which a seat 12 having a flat bottom surface is connected to the lower end of the support member 11 so that the support member 11 in the form of a pillar becomes self-supporting. Has become.
As shown in FIG. 2, the resonator 20 has two first and second resonators 22 and 23 that are branched from a supported part 21 located at the center.
Also, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), when the concave portion 21a provided on the lower surface of the supported portion 21 is placed on the distal end portion 11a of the supporting member 11, point contact is established, and the movable member 21 can swing right and left and back and forth. The first resonating portion 22 and the second resonating portion 23 are arranged so as to extend obliquely downward from the center portion 21 to the outside.

In this embodiment, an example has been described in which the first and second resonating sections 22 and 23 are composed of two resonating sections. However, three or more resonating sections may be radially arranged from the center.
The plurality of resonating portions have substantially the same shape so as to resonate with each other.
In the present embodiment, the first resonating part 22 has metal resonators 22a, 22b, 22c arranged in a substantially triangular shape as a whole. It is arranged.
Note that the ends of the resonators 22b and 23b and the adjacent resonators 22c and 23c are not connected so as to easily vibrate.
Thus, as shown in FIG. 1A, for example, when the second resonating part 23 is struck by the striking member 30, the resonating part 20 swings around the supported part 21 and the second resonating part 23 Is transmitted to the first resonating portion and resonates, so that the lingering sound becomes longer as a whole.

In the present invention, various structures can be adopted for the resonator.
FIG. 3A shows a second embodiment.
This is an example in which the vibrators (122b, 122c, 122d) and (123b, 123c, 123d) have a substantially triangular shape before the trunk portions 122a, 123a extend from the supported portion 21a located at the center.
FIG. 3B shows the third embodiment, in which the first resonance unit 24 and the second resonance unit 25 are substantially rectangular.

  When the resonator 20 is placed so as to be in point contact with the distal end 11a of the support member 11, the resonator 20 can be rotated only by swinging left and right and back and forth.

  Even if the resonator 20 is elastically connected to the distal end of the support member 11 by a spring, an elastic rubber material, or the like, the resonator 20 can swing and the vibration continues for a long time.

FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment.
In the first to third embodiments described above, each resonating portion has a plurality of resonators. For example, in FIG. 1, the first resonating portion 22 and the second resonating portion 23 are left, right, front and rear around the supported portion 21. This is an example of swinging or rotating.
On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, a plurality of resonance units such as the first resonance unit 27, the second resonance unit 28, and the third resonance unit 29 swing around the support member 11 via the support arm 26 and the like. It is an example in which it is movably arranged.
In this case, if any one of the support arm 26, the first resonating portion 27, the second resonating portion 28, and the third resonating portion 29 is struck, they resonate with each other.
As described above, the structure of the plurality of resonating portions in the present invention is not limited as long as the plurality of resonating portions are swingably disposed around the support member.
