Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new ligature for mouthpiece of a reed wind instrument, especially for mouthpiece clarinet.
  • the ligature is split according to one of its generators, and assembly means such as screws and threaded bores are provided on the two parts which are face each other, to make them interdependent of each other and thus causing a graduated tightening action on the reed.
  • a ligature of this type is described, for example, in French Patent No. 2,438,311, in the name of the Applicant.
  • the ligature is generally in the form a necklace comprising two rings, intended to be arranged in planes perpendicular to the axis of the spout, of so you can grip it and the reed associated, longitudinal struts regularly spaced joining these two rings and being disposed of substantially parallel to the axis of the spout.
  • These spacers are usually not in contact with the reed, the only rings coming into contact with it, transversely to the fibers of the material of which it is formed, these fibers being arranged parallel to the axis of the beak.
  • the Applicant has however established that it is possible to modify the reed's vibration conditions to obtain a sound of a different quality, bringing together the two ligature rings with two bars, one fixed relative to each other and arranged substantially parallel to the axis of the spout, which, in the position of use of the ligature, bear longitudinally against the reed.
  • the invention has for object a ligature for mouthpiece of a reed wind instrument, especially for clarinet mouthpiece, this ligature being constituted by a collar of a flexible deformable material elastically, in a shape complementary to that of the spout equip and the associated reed, this necklace comprising two rings intended to be arranged in two planes substantially perpendicular to the axis of the spout, these rings being split along the same generatrix of the beak and being joined by longitudinal struts, intended to be arranged substantially parallel to the axis of the spout, a or clamping means such as screws and nuts being provided to bring the facing parts of each of the rings closer together, in order to apply the reed against the beak, and for move away from each other, this ligature comprising two bars interposed between two longitudinal struts contiguous, parallel to these, bringing together the two rings, of which they are rigidly integral, and, arranged in such a way that when
  • a simple way to perform the ligature according to the invention will consist in bringing a autonomous assembly comprising the two bars joined together between them transversely, at their two ends, on a usual ligature comprising two rings joined by regularly spaced longitudinal struts.
  • a this type of ligature is an embodiment preferred of the invention.
  • the ligature shown in Figure 1 is derived a traditional ligature consisting of a necklace in one elastically deformable material (metal, alloy or material plastic), with a shape complementary to that of the spout wind instrument (here, a clarinet) and reed associated that it is intended to equip.
  • a traditional ligature consisting of a necklace in one elastically deformable material (metal, alloy or material plastic), with a shape complementary to that of the spout wind instrument (here, a clarinet) and reed associated that it is intended to equip.
  • This necklace includes two rings 1 and 2, able to enclose the mouthpiece 3 of the instrument and the associated reed 4, these rings being intended to be arranged in two planes substantially perpendicular to the axis of the spout 3 (see figures 4 and 5).
  • Rings 1 and 2 are joined longitudinally by spacers 5, regularly spaced, intended for be arranged substantially parallel to the axis of the clarinet mouthpiece, in contact with this mouthpiece, but not reed 4.
  • the term "substantially” is used because, in the practical, the beak of a clarinet is not cylindrical, but has a slightly conical shape, as seen on Figures 4 and 5.
  • Rings 1 and 2 are split according to the same generator of the clarinet mouthpiece, as seen in 6 on Figure 1 or Figure 4.
  • the two edges of the slots such as 6 are fitted with nuts 7 and 8, comprising reverse pitch bores, into which the rod 9 is screwed a nut, comprising two complementary threads also inverted, offset longitudinally. Doing turn the head 10 of the nut in one direction or the other, it is thus possible to bring together or dismiss one of the other the opposite edges of the slots such as 6, for tighten or loosen the ligature on the spout 3, so that make the reed 4 secured to this beak or to the dissociate.
  • the assembly consisting of split rings 1 and 2 and the spacers 4 is produced in a known manner by a simple grid-like cutting of a strip flat and by subsequent shaping of the flat part resulting from cutting.
  • the ligature comprises two bars 11, interposed between two contiguous spacers 5, parallel to these, these bars bringing together the rings 1 and 2 and being intended to come to apply longitudinally against the reed 4, in the direction of the fibers wood, to modify the vibrations of this reed and the sound emitted by the instrument.
  • the bars 11 are joined transversely, at their two ends, by joining parts 12 to form a self-contained assembly 13, which is reported on the usual ligature from the part shown in Figure 2 and is made integral by welding or punching.
  • the invention therefore provides, in the art, a particularly simple binding, offering new modes of sound expression with simple reed wind instruments, especially clarinets.
