RU2363057C2 - Bell for high-speed ringing - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: musical instruments.

SUBSTANCE: bell for high-speed ringing relates to church equipment and musical instruments. The striking part of the bell is ring shaped and joined to a suspension rod through balance arms. Such a design provides for the required rate of exciting sound and eliminates effect on the sound of the bell of extra harmonics from interaction of the striking part and the body of the bell.

EFFECT: improved acoustic capabilities of the bell.

Description

The invention relates to church property and musical instruments, and more particularly to bells used in evangelization in churches and temples, as well as in musical orchestras and carillons.

Bells of various shapes and sizes are described in the literature (see N.N. Rubtsov's book "History of Foundry in the USSR", part 1, section 2, Mashgiz, 1947). Bells are known in which different ringing methods are used to excite sound: they hit the bell with their tongue or swing the bell and it strikes the tongue. The tone of sound completely depends on the speed of ringing (see N.I. Olovyanishnikov's book “The History of Bells and Bell Art”, Moscow, 1912, p. 392, etc.).

Bells are also known according to patents US 3941082 A, 02.03.76 and RU 2115959 C1, 08/12/96, which describe bells containing tongues with strikers that are suspended inside the body cavity.

These bells in their construction during the production of ringing by the tongue have a slower rate of ringing, because they have a large range of language from the axis of the bell to the inner wall of the body. Such bells create certain difficulties when used in carillons.

The present invention is aimed at obtaining the necessary rate of sound excitation during the production of ringing, eliminating the impact on the sound of the bell additional harmonics from the interaction of the language and the body and thereby improving the acoustic capabilities of the bell.

The essence of the present invention is to perform the shock of the tongue in the form of a ring connected to the suspension rod of the tongue using knitting needles.

This design of the tongue provides the ability to produce the same ringing speed when striking at various points of battle on the bell housing.

Using the totality of the proposed technical solutions can improve the sound quality of the bell when exciting sound.

Thus, the acoustic capabilities of the bell are improved, which is especially important for the bells of musical orchestras and carillons.

In Fig.1 shows a General view of the bell in longitudinal section, in Fig.2 - in cross section.

The bell contains a housing 1, a rod 2 of the suspension of the tongue, spokes 3, a ring 4 of the warhead of the tongue, a battle zone 5 on the housing 1 and a gap 6 between the housing 1 and the ring 4 of the warhead of the tongue.

During the production of ringing, the ring 4 of the warhead of the tongue is in contact with the battle zone 5 of building 1, exciting the sound. The frequency of sound reproduction depends on the speed at which ring 4 overcomes the gap 6. Moreover, the frequencies of the excited sound of the striker are extinguished when they pass through the spokes and the rod, thereby eliminating their effect on the sound of the bell body.

Claims (1)

A high-speed bell ringing comprising a housing and a hanging shock tongue located in the inner cavity of the bell housing, characterized in that the warhead of the tongue is made in the form of a ring to obtain the required speed of battle when the bell rings, the ring being connected to the suspension rod using knitting needles, which Combat. Extra tones.
