LT5512B - Support apparatus for a musical instrument - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to the holder of the musical instrument, like the saxophone, the bassoon, the bass clarinet while the instrument is being played. The holder is designed to hang the instrument onto when the instrument is being played while seated. The holder of a musical instrument consists of a chair - mounted curved stand. The new holder construction solution is characterised in a way that the top of the curved stand (1) has an arched winch (3) with instrument attachment implements attached on top, and the stand (1) mounts to the chair via a saddle (13). The curved stand (1) has at least two telescopic parts (4 and 5). The arched winch (3) at the end of the stand attaches via a swivel joint that allows vertical movement and also consists of at least two telescopic parts (7 and 8). Two supporting floating legs (2) can be attached to the bottom of the curved stand (1), to rest the whole stand on the floor.

Description

The inconvenience of holding a heavy-weight musical instrument, its support, and its rooster leaves while playing is well known to musicians. Foldable or fixed stands, telescopic supports and other equipment are often used to support and support a musical instrument. A folding stand for musical instruments is described in GB 1 273 442 and consists of a shaft element sliding on a support shaft with recesses for shamrock legs. This foldable stand is used to repel clarinets, trumpets and similar wind instruments outside of music.

European Patent EP 0 729 626 describes a musical instrument stand comprising a base, a support member, at least two legs and holders. This foldable stand is designed solely to support the saxophone while it is stationary and to place the saxophone cup on a support during rest or transport.

The aforementioned stands for musical instruments are designed to hang or hang the latter while not playing.

Another known stand for a musical instrument, in particular a saxophone or guitar, having a base, a lower holder and a spring hook for vertical stretching, is described in patent FR 2 821 695. It is a stationary foldable stand for mounting a musical instrument during play.

French patent publication FR 2 680 033 describes a support for holding a musical instrument while it is being played. This support consists of a tripod base with a retractable stand with a disc-shaped sieve mounted on top. A strainer is placed on the strainer to help young musicians maintain the weight of the instrument.

All of the aforementioned stands and supports, as well as special feet that are attached to the instrument and rest on the floor, or saddles that rest on the musician's path limit the musician's movements. The static position of the instrument and the musician prevents them from playing freely.

While playing wind instruments such as the saxophone, bassoon or bass clarinet, musicians also use neck straps, shoulder straps. A strap for a musical instrument, such as a saxophone, clarinet or similar instrument, is described in DE 3 719 995. The strap consists of two straps connected to each other, the ends of which are connected by a transverse member, allowing the entire weight of the instrument to be transferred to the musician's shoulders.

Similarly, the weight of a musical instrument, such as a saxophone, is transferred to the musician's shoulders and hip using the support device for the musical instrument described in U.S. Patent No. 5,772,091. It consists of two essentially rigid elements, like braces running across the shoulders of a musician, these elements being joined at the back by a clip attached to the musician's belt. At the front, the rigid elements have elastic extensions that are connected to the musician's front by another clip to which the musical instrument is attached.

A compensating chair-mounted bassoon strap is described in GB 2 330 232. The strap is designed so that one end of the strap is fastened to the right side of the front chair, the musician himself sits on the other end of the strap and a hook attached to the middle of the strap behind the bottom of the bassoon.

All of the above are indispensable for playing the saxophone, bassoon or bass clarinet. However, keeping instruments hung on the neck or shoulders for 2-3 hours a day (or more) weighing between 2.5 and 10.5 kg is not easy. In addition, a pinched neck interferes with good blood circulation, pinched ribs or chest impede free breathing, with extra strain on the spine.

Technically, the closest embodiment of the present invention is a musical instrument holder as disclosed in JP 2003233370, which consists of a holder mounted on a chair or on the floor with a side locking section on the upper part of the holder and comprising a hook with a clasp, a projection clasp, ring, rope with stop, wire with stop, ribbing, for example, securing the lateral storage section of the musical instrument arranged on the stored musical instrument.

The disadvantage of the specified musical instrument holder is the variety of mount design: each musical instrument is subject to a different mount design. The musician has relatively little freedom of movement, as the bracket design only solves the problem of weight maintenance, so the instrument is hung on rigid short loops that limit the position of the instrument and the musician. In addition, this bracket design requires a special chair to attach the bracket to the bracket.

THE SUBSTANCE OF THE INVENTION

The above problems are solved by the new construction of the musical instrument holder.

The proposed bracket is more versatile than known brackets: the same design can be applied to musical instruments of different weights and sizes. The flexible attachment of the musical instrument to the belt gives the musician greater freedom of movement. For a more comfortable and versatile attachment of the holder to the chair, the holder is compactly folded and telescopic parts are pushed into each other.

The proposed holder for a musical instrument, namely the saxophone, bassoon, bass clarinet, consists of a chair-mounted curved stand. The new design of the bracket features a curved winch mounted on top of the curved rack with instrument hangers, and a rack mounted on a chair with a saddle. The curved stand is made of at least two telescopic parts, so the height of the stand can be adjusted according to the musician's height, the height of the chair on which the stand is mounted and other circumstances when adjusting the height of the stand, e.g. by pushing or pulling telescopic parts. For the same purpose, the bent winch shall be hinged and vertically movable on the end of the rack, and shall also include at least two telescopic parts.

The stand can be curved so as not to disturb the musician while maintaining the stability of the stand. Similarly, a winch is bent to increase the freedom of movement of the musician. Typically, the winch in the plan is sickle-shaped. In addition, an instrument hanger, usually a strap or strap, is attached to the end of the arm.

The stand of the musical instrument holder is fastened to the chair with an upside-down saddle, which has a projection on the outside of the widest part with a hole for inserting and securing the end of the stand, and has wide openings for inverting the strap to the chair.

At least two support legs, which are slidably mounted on the bottom of the curved rack and which support the floor, can be used to ensure stability and maintain greater weight.
