Description

  The present invention relates to a castanet that can be used by anyone by fixing to the bottom of footwear.

  Castanet is a percussion instrument used for flamenco and Spanish dances, which connects two pieces of hard wood like a clam and sounds in the hand. It is widely used as a rhythm instrument that plays along with its movements.

  Castanets are also known around the world as the most difficult percussion instruments to play. In other words, the castanets are simply connected in a bivalve shape so that it can be opened and closed, and it is very difficult to open and close the castanet. Therefore, it is known as the most difficult percussion instrument.

  On the other hand, in Japan, there is a unique castanet culture, and there is a castanet that anyone can use.

  That is, in Japan, when two pieces are connected in a bivalve shape, they are connected by an elastic member such as a rubber string, and the bivalve is always open. By applying force by hand, the hit pieces are struck to each other, a hitting sound is produced, and since they are urged by an elastic member such as a rubber string, the two hit pieces return to their naturally open form. Is.

  There are many Japanese castanets in which one piece is painted red and the other piece is painted blue, and it is easy to play. It is used and supported by a very wide range of generations.

  This unique castanet in Japan can be easily handled as described above and can easily take a rhythm, so it is used by a wide range of generations from preschoolers to the elderly. This is supported by a wide range of generations because it is a unique castanets that can sound just by striking a piece, and even those who cannot play musical instruments can often beat their hands. Therefore, it comes from being able to play a musical instrument with a clapping sensation.

  The inventor of the present invention uses this castanet, which is unique to Japan, not on the hand but on the bottom of the footwear and uses it with the foot. I came up with the idea that castanets could be used for stimulating the legs and legs, and for rehabilitation of the legs and legs.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a castanet that can be used by anyone by fixing it to the bottom of footwear.

  In order to achieve the above object, the castanets of the present invention are castanets that generate sound by striking the first striking piece and the second striking piece together, wherein the first striking piece and the second striking piece The striking piece is configured in a disk shape, and is connected to each other by an elastic coupling member at one end of each main surface, and the other end side of the main surface is open when no force is applied to the castanets. The other main surface of the first striking piece is configured in a spherical shape, and the second striking piece is configured in a planar shape on the other main surface, and the footpiece of the footwear is interposed through the main surface. It is characterized by comprising a fixture that can be attached to the bottom.

  In the castanets of the present invention, the fixture is a single or a plurality of string-like bodies connected to the second striking piece.

  Further, the one or more string-like bodies in the castanets of the present invention can be wound around the instep side of the footwear, and the other main surface of the second striking piece can be fixed to the bottom of the footwear. It is characterized by that.

  Further, the plurality of string-like bodies in the castanets of the present invention fix the castanets to the bottom of the footwear by mutual fastening, fixing by a cord stopper, binding by a binding tool, connection by a buckle or connection by a hook-and-loop fastener. It is characterized by that.

  Further, the one or more string-like bodies in the castanets of the present invention are stretchable elastic bodies.

  Further, the other main surface of the second hitting piece in the castanets of the present invention has a first flat surface portion and a second flat surface portion configured in a planar shape, and the first flat surface portion is It is arranged on the one end side, the second plane part is arranged on the other end side, and the first plane part and the second plane part intersect with each other at a predetermined angle.

  Further, in the castanets of the present invention, the first plane part and the second plane part intersect with each other at the boundary between the first plane part and the second plane part that intersects the second plane part. It passes through the center of the other main surface of the hitting piece.

  The castanets of the present invention can be fixed to the bottom of the footwear, and can be sounded simply by striking the toe side against the ground with the heel as a fulcrum. Anyone can easily play the instrument without using the.

  In addition, it is possible to easily produce a striking sound without using the heel as a fulcrum, but also by using one foot with a castanet, or using both feet when sitting on a chair, etc. It is.

  In particular, since the castanets of the present invention can be played with only the feet, they can be used for playing by using the castanets not only with the hands but also with the feet. It can be used for stimulating the legs and rehabilitating the legs.

  In the castanets of the present invention, the other main surface (main surface outside the castanets) of the first striking piece is formed in a spherical shape. At any position, the castanets (the main surface on the outer side of the first striking piece) come into contact with the ground without difficulty and can easily make a striking sound.

  In the castanets of the present invention, the second striking piece has a flat surface on the other main surface (main surface outside the castanets). It is possible to sound a castanet.

  The castanets of the present invention have a first plane portion and a second plane portion configured in a planar shape on the other main surface of the second striking piece, and the first plane portion and the second plane portion. Since the two flat portions meet each other at a predetermined angle, it is possible to firmly fix the castanet body to the bottom of the footwear by one flat portion, and the other flat portion is a little from the bottom of the footwear. Since they are separated and play (gap) is made, it is possible to improve the sound of the castanets' hitting sound without absorbing all the sound at the bottom of the footwear.

  In the castanets of the present invention, the boundary between the first plane portion and the second plane portion is such that the boundary portion passes through the center of the other (outside) main surface of the second piece. Since it is arranged, it acts like a seesaw with the boundary part as the boundary, and in some cases it is possible to firmly fix the castanette body to the bottom of the footwear by one flat part and the other flat part is Since it is slightly separated from the bottom of the footwear, it can play, and in some cases it will be in the opposite state, so that either one of the flat portions is appropriately fixed to the bottom of the footwear, and either one of the flat portions is By having a play (gap) between the bottom of the footwear, it is possible to further improve the sound of the castanets' hitting sound without absorbing all the sound in the bottom of the footwear.

[A] First embodiment (FIGS. 1 to 6)
First, a first embodiment of the castanets of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Configuration of Castanet According to First Embodiment]
The configuration of the castanets according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a castanet according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view of the castanets of FIG. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of a first cast piece of the castanets of FIG. 1, (a) is a perspective view showing a main surface outside the castanets, and (b) is a main surface inside the castanets. It is a perspective view shown. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the second cast piece of the castanets of FIG. 1, (a) is a perspective view showing the main surface outside the castanets, and (b) is the main surface inside the castanets. It is a perspective view shown.

  As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the castanets 1 according to the first embodiment generally take the form of a wristwatch, as a bivalve main body 2 and a fixture connected to the main body 2. It consists of a fixed band 5.

  The main body 2 has the same configuration as that of a conventional castanets unique to Japan. The first disc-shaped piece 3 and the second disc-shaped piece 4 are connected to each other. 8 (FIG. 2), they are connected so as to be openable and closable and are configured in a bivalve shape.

  The main body 2 is connected to the inside of the coupling portion 8 by an elastic member such as a spring, for example, in the same manner as a conventional castanets unique to Japan. By applying force from the outside, that is, by stepping on with a foot in the present invention, the striking pieces are struck and a striking sound is produced.

  And since it is urged | biased by elastic members, such as a spring, after a leg | foot leaves | separates after being struck, it is possible to return to the form which two pieces of pieces opened naturally.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the first striking piece 3 is formed in a disc shape, and as is clear from FIGS. 3A and 1, the main surface located outside the main body 2 is spherical. The spherical portion 3a is formed.

  Thereby, when using the castanets 1, the outer main surface of the first striking piece 3 comes into contact with the ground without difficulty at any position on the outer main surface of the first striking piece 3, It is possible to make a hammering sound easily.

  Further, the first striking piece 3 is formed with a contact surface 3c (corresponding to the coupling portion 8 in FIG. 2) which is cut obliquely when viewed from the side, on one end side of the main surface located inside the main body 2. The surface 3c is always in contact with the second piece 4 when no force is applied to the piece.

  On the contact surface 3c, two storage holes 3c1 are formed at a predetermined interval, and one end side of an elastic member (not shown) such as a spring is fitted and the other end side is connected to the second striking piece 4. In a state where the force is not applied to the striking piece, the bivalve main body 2 is always open.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the second striking piece 4 is formed in a disc shape, and as is clear from FIGS. 4A and 1, the main surface located outside the main body 2 is planar. The flat portion 4a is formed.

  Thereby, when the main body 2 is mounted on the bottom of the footwear, the flat portion 4a fits on the bottom of the footwear, and can cast the castanets in a stable state.

  Further, the second striking piece 4 is formed with a contact surface 4c (corresponding to the coupling portion 8 in FIG. 1) cut obliquely in a side view on one end side of the main surface located on the inner side of the main body 2. The surface 4c is always in contact with the first piece 3 when no force is applied to the piece.

  On the contact surface 4c, two storage holes 4c1 are formed at a predetermined interval corresponding to the position of the storage hole 3c1 of the first striking piece 3. The other end side of an elastic member (not shown) such as a spring having one end fitted and inserted into the storage hole 3c1 of the first piece 3 is inserted and connected to the first piece 4 so that force is applied to the piece. In a state where no is added, the bivalve main body 2 is always open.

  And since it is urged | biased by elastic members, such as a spring, after a leg | foot leaves | separates after being struck, it is possible to return to the form which two pieces of pieces opened naturally.

  For example, like the above-described elastic member such as a spring, the method of connecting the first striking piece 3 and the second striking piece 24 is a known technique, and detailed description and illustration are omitted. Therefore, the connection method of the 1st piece 3 and the 2nd piece 24 is not restricted to a spring, The coupling | bond part 8 (FIG.11 and FIG.11) of the 1st piece 3 and the 2nd piece 24 is used. 12)), two through holes are formed, and a single rubber string is inserted into each through hole and fastened, so that the bivalve body 2 can be opened and energized. is there.

  The point of the castanets according to the third embodiment is the difference in configuration of the second punch from the castanets of the first embodiment.

  That is, in the castanets according to the second embodiment, the other (outer) main surface of the second striking piece 24 is a flat surface portion 24a (see FIGS. 11 and 12) configured in a flat shape. It differs from the castanets according to the first embodiment in that it is constituted by two plane portions, that is, the plane portion 24a1 and the second plane portion 24a2.

  The first flat surface portion 24a1 is disposed on one end side of the second striking piece 24 (the connecting portion 8 side with the first striking piece 3 (FIGS. 11 and 12)), and the second flat surface portion 24a2 is the other. It is arranged on the end side (open end side of the castanets 21).

  The first flat surface portion 24a1 and the second flat surface portion 24a2 are arranged so as to divide the outer main surface in half in the disk-shaped second striking piece 24 and are in contact with each other. Therefore, the boundary portion 24a3 between the first flat surface portion 24a1 and the second flat surface portion 24a2 that are in contact with each other passes through the center of the outer main surface (the other main surface) of the second striking piece.

  As is clear from FIG. 12, the first flat surface portion 24a1 and the second flat surface portion 24a2 are configured such that the first flat surface portion 24a1 is slightly inclined in the internal direction of the main body 22 with the boundary portion 24a3 as a starting point. Thus, they are in contact with each other at a predetermined angle α (see FIG. 12). The predetermined angle α is 5 degrees in the present embodiment.

  By joining each other at a predetermined angle α, it is possible to firmly fix the castanet body to the bottom of the footwear by one flat portion, while the other flat portion is slightly separated from the bottom of the footwear, Since (gap) can be formed, it is possible to improve the sound of the castanets' hitting sound without absorbing all the sound at the bottom of the footwear.

  In particular, since the boundary portion 24a3 is disposed so as to pass through the center of the other (outer) main surface of the second striking piece 24, the first flat surface portion 24a1 and the second planar portion 24a3 are separated from the boundary portion 24a3. The flat surface portion 24a2 acts like a seesaw, and one of the flat surface portions is appropriately fixed to the bottom of the footwear, and there is a play (gap) between the other flat surface portion and the bottom of the footwear. Thus, it is possible to improve the sound of the castanets' hitting sound without absorbing all the sounds at the bottom of the footwear.

  Next, the fixing band 25 as a fixing tool will be described. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 13, the fixing band 25 functions as a fixing tool for mounting the main body 22 on the bottom of footwear or the like. The band portion 25a and the cord stopper 16 are configured.

  In the present embodiment, the fixed band 25 is a single continuous band (band portion 25a) that is bonded and fixed to the flat surface portion 24a that is the main surface outside the second striking piece 24 via the bonding portion 5a1. Thus, two string-like bodies are extended from the main body 22 around the bonding portion 25a1. Further, the tip portions of the two band portions 25a around the bonding portion 25a1 are connected to each other by being crimped by heat or the like (crimping portion 25a2).

  The band portion 25a is bonded to the band portion 25a by using an industrial stapler with an industrial stapler in addition to adhesive fixing with an adhesive or the like, by driving staples (needles) with an industrial stapler. It is also possible to fix to 24.

  Also, the adhesive portion 25 a 1 of the band portion 25 a overlaps with the boundary portion 24 a 3 on the outer main surface of the second striking piece 24 and is fixed along the boundary portion 24. Thereby, the first plane part 24a1 and the second plane part 24a2 act like a seesaw with the boundary part 24a3 as a boundary, and either one of the plane parts is appropriately fixed to the bottom of the footwear, and Since the other flat portion has a play (gap) between the bottom of the footwear and the bottom of the footwear, it is possible to improve the sound of the impact sound of the castanets without absorbing all the sound.

  The cord stopper 16 has the same function as that of the second embodiment, and two band portions 25a are inserted into the insertion hole 16b provided in the main body of the cord stopper 16 from the crimping portion 25a2 at the tip, and the normal state Then, the two band portions 25a are pressed against the main body of the cord stopper 16 to fix the band portion 25a. While the release button 16a is being pressed, the pressing of the band portion 25a is released. The band portion 25a can be inserted freely.

[Usage method of castanets according to the third embodiment]
A method for using the castanets according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 13, the castanets 21 are used by fixing the main body 22 to the bottom of the footwear 7 by fastening with the fixing band 25.

  That is, when the castanets 21 according to the present invention attach the main body 22 to the bottom of the footwear 7, the toes 7a are inserted into the space surrounded by the two band portions 25a from the connecting portion 8 side of the castanets 21, The flat portion 24a (see FIG. 11) is brought into close contact with the vicinity of the back side of the instep at the bottom of the footwear 7 (see FIG. 11), and the band portion 25a is squeezed by the cord stopper 16 so that the castanets 21 are footwear 7 Secure to the bottom of the.

  Thereby, the castanets 21 are attached to the user's feet, and the hitting sound can be easily generated only by hitting the toe 7a side against the ground with the heel as a fulcrum. Further, it is possible to easily produce a striking sound by using one foot with castanets 21 or a stepping action using both feet when sitting on a chair or the like without using a heel as a fulcrum. Is possible.

  The invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from its essential characteristics. Therefore, it is needless to say that the above-described embodiments are exclusively explanatory and do not limit the present invention.
