Abstract

In the acoustic drums which are used nowadays, the fixing of the various percussion instruments to the frame or element which supports the assembly is done in various ways but in all cases a vibration loss occurs due to the rigidity of the fixing means which are used. The disclosed device consists essentially in using a cylindrical ring having a diameter which is slightly larger than that of the instrument box at mid-height thereof and providing said ring as well as the upper and lower parts of the box or the higher and lower rings of the instruments with special iron fittings acting as means for holding elastic bands which form an elastic and floating fixing network from said iron fittings to the central ring while forming triangles with vertices in said fixing points and the central ring.

Description

DISPOSITIVO DE FIJACIÓN FLOTANTE PARA INSTRUMENTOS DE PERCUSIÓN " . FLOATING FIXING DEVICE FOR PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS ".

En las baterías acústicas actualmente utilizadas, la sujeción de los diferente instrumentos de percusión al chasis o elemento que soporta al conjunto, se realiza de diversas formas, pero, en todas ellas se produce una perdida vibración debida a la rigidez de los medios de fijación utilizados.In the acoustic drums currently used, the fastening of the different percussion instruments to the chassis or element that supports the assembly, is done in various ways, but, in all of them there is a loss of vibration due to the rigidity of the fixing means used .

Uno de los dispositivos empleados y mas simple es el clasico orificio en el casco del tambor con el herraje correspondiente en el que se inserta la barra metálica que lo sujeta, o bien el sistema mas extendido evitando el orificio, pero atornillando al casco un elemento intermedio que a su vez se fija a la barra metálica que sustenta al mismo, bien de forma independiente, bien unido a una barra común a la que se sujetan los diversos instrumentos de percusión que conforma la batería.One of the simplest and most used devices is the classic hole in the drum hull with the corresponding hardware in which the metal bar that holds it is inserted, or the most extended system avoiding the hole, but screwing an intermediate element to the hull which in turn is fixed to the metal bar that supports it, either independently, well attached to a common bar to which the various percussion instruments that make up the battery are attached.

Todos estos dispositivos consiguen una fijación rígida de los instrumentos al conjunto de la batería con lo que la vibración de todos y cada uno de ellos, y por tanto la calidad y volumen de sonido queda mermada considerablemente. Además de este primer y considerable inconveniente, existe otro debido a que la asimetría de la sujeción al casco crea tensiones en el mismo que tienden a deformarlo, y en efecto lo hacen cuando el instrumento envejece.All these devices achieve a rigid fixation of the instruments to the battery as a whole, so that the vibration of each and every one of them, and therefore the quality and volume of sound is considerably diminished. In addition to this first and considerable inconvenience, there is another one because the asymmetry of the hull attachment creates tensions in the helmet that tend to deform it, and indeed they do so when the instrument ages.

Otra forma de fijación que últimamente se viene empleando para eliminar estos inconvenientes, es el de efectuarla por el aro superior de los que tensan el parche, consiguiendo una mayor libertad al casco, pero,Another way fi j ation lately has been using to eliminate these drawbacks, it is effected by is the top rim of tensioning the patch, achieving greater freedom to the hull, but,

HOJA DE SUSTITUCIÓN (REGLA 26) tampoco reduce todos los inconvenientes, ya que en este caso, la vibración sigue limitada por dicho aro y ademas se producen tensiones descompensadas en el parche c ando se inclina el instrumento, al tiempo que, en el caso de ^ golpe simultaneo en aro-parche, se pierde fuerza contra el aro que esta totalmente fijo y por tanto no se transforma en sonido.SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) nor does it reduce all the inconveniences, since in this case, the vibration is still limited by said ring and also decompensated tensions occur in the patch when the instrument is tilted, while, in the case of ^ simultaneous bump-patch hit , strength is lost against the ring that is completely fixed and therefore does not transform into sound.

Con el fin de eliminar todos estos inconvenientes existentes en las distintas sujeciones de los 0 instrumentos de percusión al conjunto de la batería, se ha lαeado el dispositivo de fijación flotante para instrumentos de percusión al que se refiere la presente Memoria, que esta concebido, para lograr una fijación totalmente independiente del instrumento sea caja, i tιmba_, tambor o timbal base, ya que es adaptable a todo este tipo de instrumentos.In order to eliminate all these problems existing in the different fasteners of the 0 percussion instruments to the battery pack, the floating fastening device for percussion instruments referred to in this Report, which is designed, has been read to achieve a totally independent fixation of the instrument, whether it is a box, a drum, a drum or a base timbale, since it is adaptable to all these types of instruments.

Este dispositivo, consiste en esencia, en utilizar un zuncho cilindrico de diámetro ligeramente superior al de la caja del instrumento que se sitúa rodeando dicha 0 ca a a media altura, y dotando a este zuncho, asi como a la parte superior e inferior del casco , o a los aros superior e inferior del instrumento, de herrajes especiales como medios de sujeción de unas tiras elásticas que, desde dichos herrajes hasta el zuncho "* central, vienen a constituir una red de sujeción elástica y flotante, formando triángulos con vértices en dichas sujeciones y el zuncho central.This device essentially consists in using a cylindrical loop with a diameter slightly larger than that of the instrument case that is located around said 0 ca at medium height, and providing this strap, as well as the upper and lower part of the helmet, or to the upper and lower rings of the instrument, of special fittings as fastening means of elastic strips that, from said fittings to the central "* zuncho", constitute an elastic and floating fastening net, forming triangles with vertices in said fasteners and the central zuncho.

El zuncho central, es el que recibe los medios de fijación del conjunto al chasis de la batería, ya que 0 dicho zuncho, al no tener contacto alguno con el instrumento no supone ningún tipo de inconveniente paraThe central zuncho, is the one that receives the means of fixing the assembly to the battery chassis, since 0 said zuncho, having no contact with the instrument does not imply any type of inconvenience for

A continuación, se hará una detallada descripción del dispositivo de fijación flotante para instrumentos de percusión que se cita, con referencia a los planos •* que se acompañan, en los que se representa a simple titulo de ejemplo, no limitativo, una forma preferente de realización, susceptible de todas aquellas variaciones de detalle que no supongan una alteración fundamental del mismo. 0 En dicho plano se ilustra:Next, a detailed description of the device floating mounting for percussion instruments cited, with reference to the drawings • * accompanying, in which represents single way of example, and not limitation, a form preferred of realization, susceptible of all those variations of detail that do not suppose a fundamental alteration of the same. 0 In this plan it is illustrated:

En la figura 1: Vista en alzado lateral de un instrumento dotado del dispositivo de sujeción.In Figure 1: Side elevation view of an instrument equipped with the clamping device.

En la figura 2: Vista en sección diametral de un instrumento con dispositivo acoplado, variando la forma 5 y medios de sujeción.In figure 2: Diametral section view of an instrument with coupled device, varying the shape 5 and fastening means.

En la figura 3: Detalle de alguno de los herrajes que pueden utilizarse.In Figure 3: Detail of some of the hardware that can be used.

Según el ejemplo de ejecución representado, el dispositivo de fijación flotante para instrumentos de 0 percusión, que se preconiza, esta constituido esencialmente, por un zuncho (1) o banda cilindrica de diámetro ligeramente superior al del casco (2) del instrumento que se trate, en el que se preven medios de sujeción (3) regularmente distribuidos en su periferia y ^ sobre la circunferencia central en tanto que, en la parte superior e inferior del casco se prevén otras fijaciones (6) igualmente regularmente distribuidos y de manera que con los del zuncho central formen triángulos isósceles iguales. 0 Entre fijaciones o herrajes especiales (6) situados en el casco y las situadas en el zuncho central (3) seAccording to the exemplary embodiment shown, the floating fixation device for 0-percussion instruments, which is recommended, is essentially constituted by a strap (1) or cylindrical band with a slightly larger diameter than the hull (2) of the instrument in question , in which clamping means (3) are regularly distributed on its periphery and ^ on the central circumference while, in the upper and lower part of the hull, other fasteners (6) are also provided equally distributed and in such a way that with those of the central zuncho form equal isosceles triangles. 0 Between special fasteners or fittings (6) located in the hull and those located in the central strap (3),

Dado que el diámetro del zuncho es suoerior =¡ del casco dei instrumento, este queda suspendido e~ el interior de aquel sin ningún contacto rígido, πre-tras que α zuncho (1), por los medios habituales se le procura la sujeción (8) similar a las que actualmente se emplean en las baterías acústicas. Es evidente, que la sujeción del zuncho '1) al resto de la batería no precisa de ningún tipo de aislamiento, toda vez que, el tambor (2) queda suspe~a_.de en el interior de dicho zuncho y sin ningún contacto con el, ya que las tiras elásticas (7) que no quedar paralelas a la superficie de la caja, sino formando superficies troncocónicas o cilindricas con su mayor Dase en el zuncho y la menor coincidiendo con las fijaciones (6), ello permite que pueda darse la inclinación que se desee al tambor, y ademas permite el golpe simultaneo aro-parche consiguiendo un máximo efecto sonoro al permitir la libre vibración de todo el conj unto .Since the diameter of the strap is superior = of the hull of the instrument, it is suspended in the interior of the instrument without any rigid contact, πre-after that α zuncho (1), by means of the usual means the fastener is secured (8 ) similar to those currently used in acoustic batteries. It is evident that the fastening of the strap '1) to the rest of the battery does not require any type of insulation, since the drum (2) is suspended inside the said strap and without any contact with the, since the elastic strips (7) that do not remain parallel to the surface of the box, but forming frustoconical or cylindrical surfaces with its largest Dase in the zuncho and the smaller one coinciding with the fixings (6), this allows it to occur the inclination that is desired to the drum, and also allows the simultaneous aro-patch hit obtaining a maximum sound effect by allowing the free vibration of the whole set.

El zuncho central (1), puede ser de cualquier tipo, material y sección, tanto de chapa nervada como de tubo de cualquier sección como de chapa troquelada en la que se prevean enganchas troqueladas (3) como se representa en la figura 2. Igualmente los sistemas de enganche a utilizar , pueden ser herrajes adecuados para el enganene de las bandas elásticas (9) de chapa o pletina acoplable a los herrajes clasicos '10) o como simples pivotes o tetones con muesca central (11) con rosca paraThe central strap (1), can be of any type, material and section, both of ribbed sheet and tube of any section and of stamped sheet in which punched hooks (3) are provided as shown in Figure 2. Likewise the hooking systems to be used may be suitable fittings for the fastening of the elastic bands (9) of sheet or plate attachable to the classic fittings '10) or as simple pivots or pins with central notch (11) with thread for
