Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to one or more supports capable of gripping and fixing the main body of a violin, and materials capable of being carried and supported by these supports. This invention relates to a chin rest for a violin or the like, having a chin rest plate made of.

DE 29 44 281 A1 discloses a chin rest which, like all hitherto known chin rests, is fixedly attached to the main body of a string instrument. At this time, the fixing is performed using a carrier that grips the back plate of the violin and the top plate of the violin, or a so-called otome hook.

All known arrangements, in which a specific chinrest plate is fixed in position on the violin and the jaws must be adapted to the curvature of the chinrest plate, are not individually adjustable and therefore It is not possible to create a pattern that fits each individual's jaw. If the chin rest plate is fitted with a flexible covering that can be adapted to the individual jaw of the person using the instrument, a secure holding of the instrument is no longer guaranteed.

The formation of the conventionally known chin rest not only makes it inconvenient to handle the instrument, but also causes an inward force in the jaw, which is particularly harmful to professional musicians who have to hold the instrument in use for long periods of time. In some cases, it is easy to cause inflammation in the jaw.

The aim of the invention is to create a chinrest that can be adapted or made to suit the individual formation of the jaw and at the same time guarantees a secure retention of the instrument. It is.

The above object is achieved by an aperture provided in the central part of the rigid chin rest plate, the periphery of which is adapted to the periphery of the chin rest plate and thus adapted to the individual morphology of the human jaw. are doing.

The arrangement described above ensures that the instrument is held securely by the jaws, while the individual formation of the jawbones is
This is taken into consideration by the through-hole L provided on the chin rest plate.

At this time, the following process is taken according to the present invention.

That is, an opening is provided in a conventionally used chinrest plate made of a material that can be supported, or an opening is provided in a chinrest bottom plate, in which case the chinrest bottom plate is coated with an elastic flexible covering layer. is installed.

Another object of the invention is to create a chin rest that allows the instrument to follow the pivoting movement of the head in the same position.

This object is achieved by the characteristic features described in patent claims 7 to 13.

In this case, the actual pivot angle of the chin rest does not have to be particularly large, and it is advantageous to limit the quadruple movements on both sides by abutments.

Furthermore, according to an important feature of the invention, the chin rest is designed to automatically return to its starting position by means of integrated spring elements, with two or one retraction springs being provided for this purpose.

In order to further reduce the physical load imposed by the chinrest itself, the invention further provides that the surface of the chinrest can be adapted to the shape of the jaw in a manner known per se, or that a flexible covering layer or individual It is proposed to have an inflatable cushion that best adapts to the position of the body shape in use.

When using conventional musical instruments, the disadvantage is that the constantly used muffler is housed in a position that is difficult to grasp and, if held, is not fluid.

The present invention solves the above problems as follows. That is, a mute holder is connected to the chin rest and is formed to be able to rotate at the same time, and this mute holder makes it possible to hold the mute in a position that is most easily grasped by the person using the instrument. If no damper is installed, the damper holder can be pivoted into a rest position in which it is no longer visible from the outside.

A characteristic feature of the invention is that in the following description, in the attached FIG. 3, 1 designates the main body of a stringed instrument, the main body 1 being formed by a bottom plate 2, a side plate 3 and a top side 4 in a manner known per se. ing. The one indicated by 5 indicates the so-called odome-kake. These components are generally known.

The main body l of the musical instrument is, in the illustrated embodiment, held by a carrier 6, which includes a carrier foot 7 gripping the base plate 2 and a carrier head gripping the top plate 4 of the main body 1. I own 8. The two components 7 and 8 are connected via a coupling device.
They are connected to each other in a manner known per se, making it possible for the carrier foot 7 and the carrier head 8 to clamp the base plate 2 and the top plate 4.

The actual chin rest is designated by the symbol 9 and, in the illustrated embodiment, consists of a chin rest base plate 10 whose surface is covered with a covering layer of a flexible material, for example, which is known per se. In this aspect, the surface of the chin rest is formed to conform to the shape of the body.

In the illustrated embodiment, the chin rest base plate 10 is connected to a fixed carrier head 8, so that the actual chin rest 9 can be pivoted about a vertical axis (indicated by 15). That is, it is pivotable around an axis located parallel to the supporting body 6. In this case, a pivoting movement of approximately 20° is required.

That is, a relatively small angle is sufficient to enable the desired rotation of the head of the person using the instrument.

In order to always return the chinrest 9 to its original position, it is possible to provide a return spring, not shown.

It is clear that instead of the chin rest base plate 10 and the special covering layer 11 it is also possible to use a chin rest plate of one piece, which is known per se; It is not limited to.

As already mentioned above, within the scope of the present invention, the coating layer 1
1 is replaced by an elastically deformable cushion.

Reference numeral 12 designates a so-called mute holder, which is pivotably mounted on the underside of the chin rest base plate 10 and carries a bent arm portion 14, which is shown in the figure. It is not intended to accommodate a damper that has not been installed.

The damper holder 12 can be pivoted from the position of use shown in the figure to a position of non-use.

Instead of the illustrated method of connecting the damper holder 12 to the chinrest bottom plate lO, it is also possible to choose another configuration, but in this case it is important that the actual chinrest 9 is connected to the damper holder 1.
This means that it is combined with 2.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the symbol 16 designates, for example, a wooden chinrest, which can be connected to the violin body via a support 6 fixed to the chinrest 16.

For this purpose, the carrier 6 has a carrier foot 7 and a carrier head 8, with a flexible cork layer 17 between the underside of the actual chinrest 16 and the violin body (not shown). can be inserted.

In fact, the chin rest 16 has an opening 19 in the chin rest plate 18, and the peripheral shape of this opening matches the peripheral shape of the chin rest plate 18, and thus approximately matches the shape of the human jaw. The transition from the opening 19 to the peripheral part 20 of the chin rest plate 18 is formed in a gently rising manner, so that no internal forces are induced in the human skin or bones in this position.

FIG. 2 shows a chinrest 16a, which consists of a chinrest bottom plate 21 made of a supportable rigid material, which is again provided with an opening 19. At this time, the chinrest bottom plate 21 is made of an elastic flexible covering layer 11.
The covering layer covers the upper surface of the chin rest base plate.

Reference numeral 15 indicates a pivot receiving hole, by means of which the actual chinrest 16 is connected to the mounting device.

According to the invention, a chin rest has been created which is able to adapt to the shape of the human jaw in a manner hitherto unattainable and which nevertheless guarantees a secure retention of the instrument.
