Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a case for a keyboard wind instrument.By storing a tabletop hose so as to surround the main body of the instrument housed in the case, the thickness of the case can be reduced, making it convenient to carry and improving the appearance. It is something that can be done in a smart way.

By the way, when playing a keyboard wind instrument, there are two ways to play: holding the instrument in your hands and playing directly from the mouthpiece, and placing the instrument on a tabletop (or in a case placed on the tabletop) and connecting a tube-shaped blowing pipe to it. Sometimes the music is played from that mouthpiece. When carrying a musical instrument, it is convenient to store a set of performance hoses such as a mouthpiece pipe in a case.

Examples of structures for housing such a tabletop hose set include those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. That is, in this case, the performance hose set 5 is housed in a groove 39 formed on the inner surface of the lid 3 so as to be embedded therein. And this hose set 5
is located on the keyboard of the musical instrument main body 1 housed within the case main body 2 when the lid body 3 is closed. Keyboard wind instruments are often used for music education for young children such as infants and elementary school students, so they are often carried roughly, and the tabletop hose set 5 stored in them may come loose due to the impact they receive during transportation. Not only did it make a rattling noise inside the case, but there were also many cases where it caused scratches on the keyboard.

When storing the tabletop hose set 5 in the groove 39, the inside of the lid 3 must be made deep so that accessories such as the outlet of the tabletop hose set do not touch the keyboard when stored. The downside is that the overall case is thick, making it difficult to hold as a portable device.

Furthermore, when the shape of the lid body 3 is thick as described above, hot water does not flow easily to the outer circumferential rib during molding, which often results in thinning of the wall thickness or deformation. Further, when it is desired to make the case as thin as possible, the wall thickness between the tabletop hose set and the lid surface of the housing portion 39 becomes too thin, causing the surface to sink, which is undesirable in terms of appearance.

This invention was proposed with attention to this fact, and the purpose is to provide a case that is easy to carry and has a smart design by making the case lid thin enough that it does not touch the keyboard.

That is, the gist of this invention is to provide storage areas for accessories such as a tabletop hose set in positions surrounding the main body of the musical instrument.

The keyboard wind instrument case of this invention will be explained in more detail below based on the attached drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the keyboard wind instrument case of this invention consists of a case body in which the musical instrument body 1 is housed, and a lid body 30 attached via a hinge 40 so as to be openable and closable. These case bodies 20
Both the main body 20, the cover body 30, and the hinge 40 may be molded with resin, or they may be molded separately and then connected to each other. Good too.

A housing portion 25 for the musical instrument body 1 is defined and formed in the case body 20.

A recess 35 is defined on the inner surface of the lid 30 and covers the upper part of the musical instrument body 1 when the lid 30 is closed. Further, in the rib 31 defining the recess 35 of the lid 30, a storage groove 32 for storing the performance hose set is formed parallel to the outer periphery of the recess 35. After putting the instrument hose set into the storage groove 32, when the lid 30 is closed, the instrument hose set is stored so as to surround the musical instrument main body 1.
The depth of the recess 35 of the lid 30 may be set to such an extent that the inner surface of the recess 35 does not come into contact with the black keys of the musical instrument body 1 when the lid 30 is closed.

Incidentally, in the above explanation, the storage groove 32 for the tabletop hose set was formed in the lid body 30, but this invention
The present invention is not limited to this, but a storage groove 32a may be formed on the case body 20 side as shown in FIG. 5. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 6,
Of course, it is also possible to form storage grooves 32b each of which has a depth equal to the radius of the hose set in both the case body 20 and the lid 30, and to hold the storage grooves 32b between the two. .

In this manner, according to this invention, the instrument hose set is housed in the rib portion 31 so as to surround the musical instrument body 1, so there is no chance of the instrument hose set coming off while being carried, unlike conventional instruments. Like,
I have never had a scratch on a keyboard.

Furthermore, since this invention stores the hose set in the rib part of the case, there is no need to form a storage part inside the lid, and even when the case is made thinner, the wall thickness of the hose set storage part of the lid can be reduced. It has never been found to be thinner than necessary, and the part does not shrink, which is preferable in terms of appearance.

In addition, when the case of this invention is closed, the lid is stored so that it surrounds the instrument body in parallel, so the lid can be made thin enough that it does not touch the keyboard, making it easy to hold and a smart case in terms of design. can become. By making the case thinner in this manner, uniform hot water circulation is possible during case molding, the molding is carried out smoothly, and the case appearance is also favorable.
