Definitions
- the invention refers to a transportation device for a musical instrument, preferably for a cello, intended to be used in conjunction with and to fit over and around a conventional everyday case made of a hard material, which is provided with hinges and whose interior is intended for the admission of the musical instrument.
- a particular risk is the flight itself.
- the musician delivers the instrument accommodated in a transport container (such as an everyday case) to the baggage check-in and receives it only upon arrival at the baggage claim.
- a transport container such as an everyday case
- serious damage can take place in transport, and sometimes the instrument is completely destroyed.
- the instrument in its container is treated improperly, it can be thrown from the airplane hold onto the baggage conveyancing system, or it can even be dropped from the airplane hold onto the tarmac from a height of several meters.
- a hard-shell case for a cello weighs between 3 to 6 kg.
- hard shell-cases Under the name “flight case”, there are special hard shell-cases on the market which are offered for use on airline flights and are equipped with special features to prevent damage during flight transport.
- a hard shell case for a stringed instrument Gill, D-91088 Bubenreuth
- Such a hard shell case possesses a weight of 9.5 kg for a cello and 23 kg for a double-bass.
- hard shell case (GEWA, D-82477 Mittenwald) employs a shell made from fiberglass-reinforced synthetic resin. An internal suspension fixture for the instrument is also provided. Another internal feature is foamed plastic upholstery for the back and ribs of the stringed instrument.
- Such hard shell cases for a double bass weigh 25 kg. So-called “flight cases” possess as a rule a weight considerably above that of the everyday case. This also accounts for the higher purchase price.
- a foldable case from a soft, malleable material is designed for use with a musical instrument.
- the shape conforms to a typical musical instrument and is obtained here by inflating of inner tubes or aerial chambers located in the interior of the soft-case.
- These inner tubes or aerial chambers offer an additional protection for the musical instrument. It is to be stressed, however, that these inner tubes or aerial chambers are located in the interior of the soft-case. In the event of impact against a sharp object, the case might be punctured or pierced and with it the protecting inner tube, so that the air can escape.
- Such a soft-case is not planned for flight transportation and is designed especially for an acoustic guitar.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,215,778 Another inflatable transportation device for a musical instrument is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,215,778.
- This device comprises an inflatable bottom portion and an inflatable lid portion with a space in which the instrument is accommodated, completely encased by independently inflatable structures.
- a conventional everyday case is not used here.
- a transportation device which comprises a conventional hard shell case (“everyday case”) and an external protective cover is offered for journeys by air and available on the market.
- the protective cover consists of two halves made of an impact resistant and extremely strong, respectable material, which are adapted to the shape of the everyday case and which are connected with each other by a completely running around zipper.
- the inside of the protective cover is laid out with a thick layer from a foamed plastic of high density which protects the everyday case and the instrument against impact and thermal charges.
- the protective cover is provided with three handles and two backpack belts.
- the protective cover when conceived for a cello case weighs 8 kg. Its weight lies therefore above the weight of the everyday case which usually amounts to 3 to 6 kg.
- a transportation device is provided
- Such a transportation device can be used with all kinds of musical instruments, thus, e.g., with stringed- and plucked instruments, woodwind and brass instruments. It offers by the use of at least one aerial chamber and the puncture-proof outside cover an effective protection against sudden knocks, falls or drops or other improper external treatment.
- the protective cover can be adapted to different or various contours of everyday cases and therefore can be used with everyday cases of different manufacturers.
- a carrying bag which is constructed of a light synthetic fabric and in which the protective cover, surrounded by the outside cover, can be accommodated after removal from the everyday case and after being folded.
- the protective cover and the outside cover (with the air deflated) may easily be stored away when not in use during a trip or at home.
- Proper handling is guaranteed, e.g., while traveling by taxi, and the transport by hand causes no serious problems, because the weight of the protective cover with outside cover and carrying bag is relatively low and amounts to approximately 3 kg, while the everyday case itself weighs between 3 to 6 kg.
- the protective cover and the outside cover may be connected with each other, e.g., by glueing or welding or by a Velcro closing.
- the outside cover should be waterproof or provided with a water-proof layer.
- the protective cover may possess one or several aerial chambers. If several aerial chambers exist, e.g., 2 or 3 which contribute to an increased level of security, these chambers should each be inflatable independently from one another. Each of these aerial chambers may consist of a series of single segments or partial aerial chambers, for instance, in the form of tubes, and the segments of every series should be connected with each other in parallel. The segments of the individual series should be arranged alternately beside each other. It is for safety reasons that the segments of the different series are arranged alternately beside each other. The thickness of the inflatable protective cover should be between 5 to 10 cm when inflated.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-section through a protective cover for an everyday case (made of a hard material containing a stringed instrument) as well as through the attached outside cover, wherein the everyday case is shown in a side view,
- FIG. 2 is a cross-section along the direction II-II of FIG. 1 , wherein the everyday case is shown in side representation,
- FIG. 3 a side view in the direction III-III of FIG. 1 ,
- FIG. 4 is a cross-section along the direction IV-IV of FIG. 1 , whereby, according to a first modification, alternately side by side arranged air chambers of a first and a second series are used,
- FIG. 5 is a view according to FIG. 4 , whereby, according to a second modification, two independent air chambers are arranged on top of each other, and
- FIG. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view on an enlarged scale according to a modification having circular protective cover tubes and a joint backing.
- the transportation device 2 for a musical instrument here especially for a cello (not shown), comprises a flexible, inflatable and deflatable protective cover 4 (air bladder) for the protection of the everyday case 6 and the cello contained therein, and a comparatively thin and puncture-proof outside cover 8 which completely surrounds the protective cover 4 .
- a flexible, inflatable and deflatable protective cover 4 air bladder
- a comparatively thin and puncture-proof outside cover 8 which completely surrounds the protective cover 4 .
- the everyday case 6 has two hinges 10 and a number of locks 12 located around the circumference.
- a handle 14 is arranged on the opposite side of the hinges 10 .
- the protective cover 4 is illustrated—for reasons of clarity—at some distance from the everyday case 6 . In reality in its inflated condition it lies close to the everyday case 6 . It is at least roughly adapted to the contour of the everyday case 6 . Also the puncture-proof outside cover 8 is shown at some distance from the protective cover 4 . In reality adjoins the protective cover 4 . As a matter of preference, they will be attached to each other, e.g., by glueing or by welding.
- the single protective cover 4 consists of an internal layer 16 and an external layer 18 .
- Both layers 16 , 18 are made from a light, adaptable and foldable material, preferably from a synthetic material.
- these layers 16 , 18 have a distance D to each other.
- This distance D characterizes the thickness of the inflated protective cover 4 and therefore the thickness of the protecting air cushion (air bladder).
- the thickness D should lie in the area of about 5 to 10 cm to guarantee an effective impact protection during air transportation. Given the flexibility of the material used for the protective cover 4 , it can expand while inflating, thus the dimensions will change upon inflation. Then the pressure, measured by a pressure gauge (not shown), determines the thickness D.
- the outside cover 8 is made of an adaptable and puncture-proof material. There may be a water-proof layer or water-proof finish. This material should be abrasion-resistant at the same time. As a suitable material, in particular a bullet-proof fabric, such as the one known under the name “Kevlar”, or another fabric called “Zylon” may be used.
- the protective cover 4 together with the outside cover 8 , is light-weight in comparison to the weight of the everyday case 6 .
- An aerial inlet not shown in FIG. 1 leading to the space between the layers 16 , 18 allows the inflation by means of an air pump or an aerial compressor before starting a journey by air, namely through a valve.
- this valve By the operation of this valve the air can also be released and emptied, when the protective cover 4 is not in use, so that it collapses. Then it can be removed easily from the everyday case 6 , after opening of at least one zipper (later shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 ) for a less dangerous transport or for safekeeping.
- the protective cover 4 and the outside cover 8 can be folded and accommodated together, e.g., in a carrying bag (not shown) or in another container, as desired.
- the protective cover 4 is divided, namely in two sections which allow the protective cover 4 to open up. Thereby the enclosure and removal of the everyday case 6 are allowed.
- the dividing area is marked with 20 .
- a zipper 22 is attached to the outside cover 8 .
- This zipper 22 extends to the dividing area 20 and beyond, along the right and left wall (shown in FIG. 1 ) of the outside cover 8 . It extends a given distance S in each direction, approximately parallel to the case lid edge 24 of the everyday case 6 .
- a valve 26 is provided for inflation and deflation. This valve 26 is located at a safe and suitable place underneath the outside cover 8 , preferably in the area of the zipper 22 .
- the valve 26 according to FIG. 2 is, after the fastening of the zipper 22 , concealed under the outside cover 8 so that it cannot be damaged or torn off during transportation.
- FIG. 3 two different possibilities for attaching a zipper 22 a , 22 b are shown.
- the first zipper 22 a corresponds to a great extent to the zipper 22 of FIG. 2 .
- the zipper 22 a located at the broader end of the outside cover 8 , proceeds here a distance S to the side after turning around 180° at each direction.
- the distance S can amount in each direction to half of the circumference of the outside cover 8 .
- the second zipper 22 b proceeds in a linear fashion along one of both longer side walls of the outside cover 8 .
- the dividing area 20 (not shown here) of the protective cover 4 proceeds parallel therewith, so that by this embodiment also two sections can be swung apart. In both instances the everyday case 6 can be removed easily from the protective cover 4 and the outside cover 8 , after opening of the zipper 22 a or 22 b.
- FIG. 3 also shows that the side wall of the outside cover 8 is provided with at least one handle 28 at a balanced position. Also at least one removable strap 30 is placed at the bottom of the outside cover 8 . Besides, a pocket 32 is arranged in the side wall of the outside cover 8 for storing a small air pump, such as a mechanical air pump or a small electrical aerial compressor. Alternatively, these devices may be attached directly in this location. From FIG. 3 it becomes clear that the pocket 32 is arranged, in particular with a transportation device 2 for a stringed instrument, in the area of the neck of that stringed musical instrument, where the necessary space is available.
- a small air pump such as a mechanical air pump or a small electrical aerial compressor.
- FIG. 4 is a first modification of the protective cover 4 of FIG. 1 shown. There is also provided a protective cover 4 which entirely (up to the dividing area 20 according to FIG. 2 ) surrounds the everyday case 6 .
- first series 4 A and a second series 4 B of segments or partial air chambers 34 , 36 In this particular design it comprises a first series 4 A and a second series 4 B of segments or partial air chambers 34 , 36 . All air chambers 34 of the first series 4 A are connected with each other and are jointly inflatable as well as deflatable. Also the air chambers 36 of the second series 4 B are connected with each other. They are also jointly inflatable and deflatable, but independently of those of the first series 4 A. The air chambers 34 , 36 are arranged alternately next to each other.
- the inflated protective cover 4 should be in the range from 5 to 10 cm.
- the outside cover 8 would again lie next to and outside the protective cover 4 , or will even be connected with it.
- the air can be supplied jointly to all air chambers 34 of the first series 4 A via a first valve 38 .
- the air can be deflated again via this same valve 38 before packing away the device 4 , 8 .
- the corresponding is true with regard to the air chambers 36 of the second series 4 B and a second valve 40 .
- both valves 38 , 40 should be placed well-protected, i.e. preferably underneath the surface of the outside cover 8 .
- first and second series 4 A, 4 B can be provided.
- FIG. 5 is a second modification of the protective cover 4 of FIG. 1 shown.
- the protective cover 4 comprises here a first and a second air chamber 42 , 44 , respectively, of an adaptable material. They are arranged close to one another, and together they surround the everyday case 6 . For both air chambers 42 , 44 only three layers of an adaptable material are required in total.
- a first valve 38 is provided in order to inflate and deflate the first air chamber 42 again.
- a second valve 40 is provided in order to inflate and deflate independently the second air chamber 44 .
- the valves 38 , 40 should be placed—deviating from the representation—well-protected underneath the surface of the outside cover 8 . It is important that the protective air chambers 42 , 44 are provided at least in the area of the front (top), preferably in the area of the bridge of the stringed musical instrument.
- the thickness D of the inflated protective cover 4 should range from 5 to 10 cm. Should one of the air chambers—in the embodiments of FIGS. 4 and 5 shown as first or second series 4 A, 4 B and as first or second air chamber 42 , 44 , respectively for any reason become punctured and the compressed air contained therein should escape, then the still-intact air chamber in each embodiment can still fulfill its important protective function, in particular during air transportation.
- a protective cover 4 which comprises a plurality of tubes arranged next to each other.
- Alternate tubular air chambers 34 form a first series 4 A
- alternate tubular air chambers 36 form a second series 4 B.
- the air chambers 34 , 36 have a circular cross-section.
- a backing 50 in the form of a thin layer made of a flexible synthetic material is attached to the air chambers 34 , 36 .
- the backing 50 constitutes a protection for the protective cover 4 .
- the attachments of the air chambers 34 , 36 are denoted as 52 and 54 .
- the entire unit 8 , 34 , 36 , 50 is flexible and easily foldable.
