Description

SOUSAFÓN LIGERO OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN  LIGHT SOUSAFON OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención, tal como se indica en el título, se refiere a un instrumento musical, y más concretamente a un sousafón, sousáfono o también conocido como sousaphone, aunque a lo largo de esta memoria nos referiremos a él como sousafón, y cuya característica principal es su ligereza.  The present invention, as indicated in the title, refers to a musical instrument, and more specifically to a sousaphone, soaphone or also known as sousaphone, although throughout this memory we will refer to it as sousaphone, and whose characteristic Main is its lightness.
El objeto de esta invención es aportar una solución hasta ahora desconocida para varios inconvenientes que se comentarán más adelante, principalmente, se pretende lograr un resultado final que permita a los músicos que utilizan el instrumento mencionado beneficiarse de un peso menor, así como de un instrumento cómodo, llamativo y con altas prestaciones.  The object of this invention is to provide a solution hitherto unknown for several inconveniences that will be discussed later, mainly, it is intended to achieve a final result that allows musicians using the aforementioned instrument to benefit from a lower weight, as well as an instrument comfortable, eye catching and high performance.
El dispositivo en cuestión aporta esenciales características de novedad y notables ventajas con respecto a los medios conocidos y utilizados para los mismos fines en el estado actual de la técnica.  The device in question provides essential novelty characteristics and notable advantages over the known and used means for the same purposes in the current state of the art.
En la actualidad, en muchas bandas populares, tanto de marchas como militares, se utiliza el sousafón. Es un tipo de tuba parecido al helicón. Es considerado como un instrumento de viento con válvulas y con la misma longitud del tubo que otros instrumentos como la tuba, pero con una forma distinta pues el pabellón se encuentra por encima de la cabeza de quien lo ejecuta, las válvulas se encuentran justo delante del músico a pocos centímetros de la cintura, y casi todo el peso descansa sobre uno de los hombros. Y allí es justamente donde se encuentran los mayores inconvenientes, ya que estos instrumentos suelen tener un peso importante, lo que pone en riesgo la salud del músico.  Currently, in many popular bands, both marches and military, sousaphone is used. It is a type of tuba similar to helicon. It is considered as a wind instrument with valves and with the same length of the tube as other instruments such as the tuba, but with a different shape because the flag is located above the head of the person who executes it, the valves are located just in front of the musician a few centimeters from the waist, and almost all the weight rests on one of the shoulders. And that is precisely where the greatest inconveniences are, since these instruments usually have an important weight, which puts the health of the musician at risk.
Lamentablemente resulta muy común que aparezcan lesiones entre usuarios que ejecutan el sousafón. Normalmente estos instrumentos son fabricados en latón o fibra de vidrio, y hasta ahora no se había encontrado un material que permita reducir el peso del objeto final pero sin perder calidad de sonido. Unfortunately, it is very common for lesions to appear among users who run the sousaphone. Normally these instruments are made of brass or fiberglass, and until now no material has been found to reduce the weight of the final object but without losing sound quality.
El peso de los instrumentos tradicionales no sólo ocasiona inconvenientes para los músicos durante su ejecución sino también en el transporte, y todo esto, sin olvidar que la fabricación de los mismos genera altos importes que se trasladan al producto final.  The weight of the traditional instruments not only causes inconveniences for the musicians during their performance but also in the transport, and all this, without forgetting that the manufacture of the same generates high amounts that are transferred to the final product.
De esta forma, se llega al punto al que es necesario encontrar un material idóneo que aporte ligereza al instrumento, pero sin que por ello se renuncie a una alta resistencia, y que mecánicamente, térmicamente y en cuanto a propiedades sonoras siga siendo un instrumento de alta calidad.  In this way, the point is reached where it is necessary to find a suitable material that brings lightness to the instrument, but without thereby giving up a high resistance, and that mechanically, thermally and in terms of sound properties remains an instrument of high quality.
Hasta ahora no se conocía una solución para esto, sin embargo, el sousafón que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, aportando una serie de ventajosas y novedosas características, y sin que ello suponga merma alguna de sus prestaciones en otros aspectos.  Until now, a solution for this was not known, however, the sousaphon that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory way the above-mentioned problem, providing a series of advantageous and novel features, and without implying any reduction of its benefits in others. aspects.
La invención propuesta pretende aportar una solución económica, ecológica, práctica, sencilla y de fácil utilización, cuyo efecto sería un sousafón resistente, de alta calidad sonora, pero a la vez hasta un 50% más ligero, lo que repercutirá favorablemente en la salud de los músicos, y hasta en la facilidad, comodidad y costes del almacenamiento y transporte.  The proposed invention aims to provide an economic, ecological, practical, simple and easy-to-use solution, the effect of which would be a resistant sousaphon, of high sound quality, but at the same time up to 50% lighter, which will have a favorable impact on the health of the musicians, and even in the ease, comfort and costs of storage and transportation.
La presente invención tiene su campo de aplicación en el sector de los instrumentos musicales.  The present invention has its field of application in the field of musical instruments.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN En el estado de la técnica encontramos algunos documentos relacionados con instrumentos musicales, aunque ninguno de ellos aporta las mismas características ventajosas ni resuelve eficazmente los inconvenientes existentes. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the state of the art we find some documents related to musical instruments, although none of them provide the same advantageous characteristics nor effectively solve existing problems.
Así, en el documento ES 2 439 166 encontramos un estabilizador térmico para instrumentos de viento-metal caracterizado porque comprende al menos una pieza con una geometría que permite fijarse sobre un instrumento musical de viento-metal en la parte o partes del instrumento que está en contacto con el cuerpo humano, y está realizado en un material aislante térmicamente.  Thus, in document ES 2 439 166 we find a thermal stabilizer for wind-metal instruments characterized in that it comprises at least one piece with a geometry that allows fixing on a wind-metal musical instrument in the part or parts of the instrument that is in contact with the human body, and is made of a thermally insulating material.
Por otro lado, en el documento ES 1 070 524 se aporta una boquilla para instrumentos musicales de viento del tipo que comprende un aro; una copa localizada a continuación del aro, que tiene una cara interna; y, un cono de salida localizado a continuación de la copa caracterizada porque la cara interna de la copa incluye una pluralidad de ranuras perimetrales separadas entre sí.  On the other hand, document ES 1 070 524 provides a mouthpiece for wind musical instruments of the type comprising a ring; a cup located next to the hoop, which has an internal face; and, an outlet cone located next to the cup characterized in that the inner face of the cup includes a plurality of perimeter grooves separated from each other.
A su vez, en el documento ES 2 386 215 se reivindica un controlador de viento MIDI para un instrumento de viento de serie armónica, que comprende un dispositivo de configuración y comunicaciones MIDI y un simulador del instrumento de viento, comprendiendo este simulador una carcasa con unos sensores de digitación configurados para detectar la posición de unos medios de digitación de disposición análoga a los de un instrumento de viento acústico de referencia, caracterizado porque el simulador comprende una boquilla con un conducto de paso de un flujo de aire impelido por la articulación del intérprete y unos medios de detección de flujo para detectar el citado flujo de aire y porque el dispositivo de configuración y comunicaciones MIDI puede determinar las notas y efectos ejecutados por el interprete a partir del flujo de aire y de la posición de los medios de digitación, obtenidos por los medios de detección de flujo y sensores de digitación. In turn, in document ES 2 386 215 a MIDI wind controller is claimed for a harmonic series wind instrument, comprising a MIDI communication and configuration device and a wind instrument simulator, this simulator comprising a housing with fingering sensors configured to detect the position of a disposing fingering means analogous to those of a reference acoustic wind instrument, characterized in that the simulator comprises a nozzle with a passageway of an air flow impelled by the articulation of the interpreter and a flow detection means for detecting said air flow and because the MIDI configuration and communications device can determine the notes and effects executed by the interpreter from the air flow and the position of the fingering means, obtained by the flow detection means and fingering sensors.
Así vemos, que si bien se conocen innovaciones en el área de los instrumentos musicales, hasta ahora no se conocía un sousafón cuyas características técnicas aporten ligereza y calidad como las que se necesitan para resolver los inconvenientes mencionados anteriormente.  Thus, we see that while innovations are known in the area of musical instruments, until now there was no known sousaphon whose technical characteristics provide lightness and quality like those needed to solve the aforementioned problems.
Tomando en consideración los casos mencionados y analizados los argumentos conjugados, con la invención que se propone en este documento se da lugar a un resultado final en el que se aportan aspectos diferenciadores significativos frente al estado de la técnica actual, y donde se aportan una serie de avances en los elementos ya conocidos con sus ventajas correspondientes.  Taking into consideration the cases mentioned and analyzing the conjugate arguments, with the invention proposed in this document, a final result is produced in which significant differentiating aspects are provided in relation to the state of the art, and where a series is provided. of advances in the elements already known with their corresponding advantages.
