Description

The invention relates to musical instruments, namely to musical instruments intended for training bell-ringers.

The current bell tower of the temple is in the open air, and the ringing bell is located high above the adjacent territory, the sound of its bells is heard far enough. Therefore, the inept apprentice ringing of the trained bell ringers will certainly annoy others. The method of using acoustic mutes (wrapping bell languages with various materials for damping the sound) leads to the ringer having no feedback from the instrument, i.e. he does not hear what he is doing. In addition, bell-bearing structures are places of increased danger and many church rectors forbid children to climb them in order to avoid accidents.

Therefore, classes for training bell ringers must be moved to a separate room, for example, in the Sunday school class of the temple, and the process of preparing bell ringers should be established, without disturbing anyone and, importantly, regardless of any weather conditions.

A mobile belfry is known from the prior art, characterized by the presence of a rigid frame frame fixed in the car body, on the crossbars of which bells are suspended and a roof is mounted. In the central part, an opening has been formed for the location of a dome with a cross and fixing rods with adjustable inserts for fixing bells and languages when moving the belfry, mounted on vertical racks of the frame frame (RU 65536 U1, publ. 10.08.2007, Е04Н 1/12).

The disadvantages of this design include the narrow specialization of the installation, strict restrictions on the height of the bed and the location of the ringer, not intended for teaching children and adults how to ring bells, also having restrictions on the use as a mobile orchestral belfry on stage with the possibility of placing on it as chromatic idiophones and church bells. This installation is also not intended for placement on bell-shaped structures as the main system for ringing control.

A device is known that includes separate bells mounted on two parallel rungs in a support frame. A series of bells presents the natural tones of the music in a musical scale. The bells are arranged for maximum ease of punch by the musician. The rear bar is shifted upward relative to the front bar to place them closer to the musician (US 2008078278 A1, publ. 04/03/2008, G10D 13/08).

Known concert bell installation, consisting of a base and frame in the form of a 3-tier trapezoidal design. Bells are placed on the upper bar. The set of bells contains plates, a damper device, the entire performing set of bells, bells of metal and wooden plates is placed in a 3-tier trapezoidal structure with resonating decks, inside which one performing place is placed (RU 2444070, publ. 02.27.2012, G10F 1/10 )

The disadvantage of this design is the use of string resonators, distorting the sound of bells and idiophones, large sizes, which does not allow it to be placed in small rooms, the complexity of installation and transportation, not intended for teaching children and adults how to ring bells, as it does not comply with the generally accepted rules for hanging bells and ringing control, which also has limitations on its use as the main system for ringing control at the bell-ring structures of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC )

The technical task is to create a collapsible simulator for teaching bell ringing, which allows children and adults to learn bell ringing skills, having metal devices for sound extraction (idiophones) imitating classical bronze church bells, with the possibility of being used as a temporary temple belfry.

The technical result of the claimed invention is to create a collapsible device that allows you to train bell-ringers and improve bell-ringer skills.

The claimed technical result is achieved by the fact that the simulator for teaching bell ringing includes a base, frame and crossbars on which idiophones are suspended. The frame is made of two vertical racks installed on the base, and three removable transverse bars mounted on vertical racks at different levels, on the base there is an additional pedal connected to the language of the largest idiophone, and a column connected to the languages of idiophones installed on the middle crossbar. In this case, the column is connected to the lower crossbar with a Y-shaped strip, at one point to the column and at the other two to the lower crossbar, idiophones are made of steel conical transitions and plugs.

In an embodiment, four small ringing idiophones are located on the upper crossbar. On the middle crossbar there are four idiophone subverbs. On the lower bar is the largest idiophone. Nuts are installed inside the ends of the crossbars.

The invention is illustrated by drawings:

FIG. 1 - general view of the simulator;

FIG. 2 is a side view.

The claimed invention is a simulator for teaching bell ringing, an adaptive lightweight collapsible design, the dimensions of which allow it to be transported in the trunk of a car. The area occupied by the simulator allows you to place it on small areas (1.5-2.0 square meters.). The simulator for training bell ringing will include the frame (1) of the simulator, consisting of two vertical posts (2) made of a profile, preferably 50 × 50 mm, three transverse bars (3) made of a profile, preferably 40 × 40 mm, to connect the vertical posts and pendants of idiophones. The crossbars are located at different levels. M12 nuts are welded into the ends of the crossbars from inside, into which M12 bolts are screwed to fasten the crossbars to vertical posts. The base (4) with the pedal (5) is also made of profile. The pedal is connected by a chain with the language of a large idiophone (7), which hangs on the lower bar and acts as an evangelist. M12 nuts are welded into the ends of the base for fastening the base to vertical posts. A column (8) is attached to the base (4), which is connected in chains (6) with the languages of the middle, differently tuned idiophons, which function as sub-bells located on the middle crossbar.

The Y-shaped connecting strip is located horizontally at the level of the lower crossbar, supports the ringer control column in a static position and is attached at one point to the column and in the other two to the lower crossbar, on which a large idiophone hangs. On the upper crossbar there are four small differently configured idiophones, which are attached to the crossbar through a through vertical hole and fixed on top with a wing nut. On the middle crossbar there are four middle differently tuned idiophones that are attached to the crossbar through a vertical through hole with a hairpin. On the lower bar hangs a large idiophone, the language of which is controlled by the pedal (5). The idiophone is attached to the crossbar through a vertical through hole with a pin.

Idiophones are made of steel conical transitions, preferably corresponding to GOST 17378-2001, and plugs for them according to GOST 1050-74. The cover is welded to the pipe by electric welding (electric arc or wire in a shielding gas environment). A decorative element in the form of a bell crown with ears and a fastener is mounted on the lid. Languages are placed inside idiophones. The design of all idiophones is the same. On the crossbeams, it is possible to place both idiophones and church bells for playing percussion parts in musical groups.

The design of the idiophone with a welded lid-cap allows you to get close to the bronze bell sound rich in overtones.

Sound is selected by selecting an idiophone according to the size of the lower and upper pipe diameters. Sound adjustment is carried out by turning the inner shock ring and chamfering on the outer surface of the idiophone.

Idiophones are traditionally arranged according to the following principle: the upper row is a group of small idiophones that act as a bells, the middle row is a group of medium idiophones that acts as a bells, and the bottom row is a large idiophone that acts as a bell evangelist. Small and medium idiophones are located from right to left in the direction of lowering the frequency of sound. This arrangement of the scale allows the ringer to navigate in the sound field and create various compositions.

The frame of the simulator, all its parts and bells are painted with weather-resistant powder paint.

The simulator works as follows. To begin with, the ringer is conveniently located on the tier tier (the ringer's working platform), while he becomes the right foot on the pedal, and the middle idiophone control column is on the left and is controlled by the left hand. In the right hand is the control system for small idiophones. By measuring the rhythm of the sound of a large idiophone with the pedal (right foot), the left hand performs rhythmic patterns on a group of medium idiophones, and the right hand on a group of small idiophones, thus, the bell ringer improves his performing skills.

Sound is extracted from idiophones made of steel conical passages with plugs welded to them and decorated with a bell crown with decorative elements and fasteners. At the same time, the student-ringer receives a training simulator that is no different from the real bell tower, and the “piano” layout of the idiophone control allows the ringer to master basic knowledge in a short time and improve to the level of “advanced ringer”.

The use of the claimed invention is possible as a temporary or permanent temple belfry. The invention can also be used at the podkolokolnyh structures of the Russian Orthodox Church as the main system for ringing, not having restrictions on the use as a mobile temple or orchestra belfry on stage, with the possibility of placing on it both chromatic idiophones and church bells.

The claimed invention can be manufactured on standard equipment using standard technologies.
