Abstract

Most of the peg (2) is identical to a conventional peg (1). The novel feature of the present peg is that it has a section (2a) which is of a smaller diameter. The end of the string is fed through a radial hole in the peg. When the peg is rotated, each turn of the peg winds a much shorter length of string than the conventional peg.

Description

Drievoudige verbetering van klassieke snaarspanner.Triple improvement of classical string tensioner.

Zoals op de tekening fig. 1 is te zien, bestaat de klassieke snaarspanner voor violen uit een taps toelopende pen, die om terugdraaien te voorkomen een bepaalde dikte heeft.As can be seen in the drawing of Fig. 1, the classical violin string tensioner consists of a tapered pin, which has a certain thickness to prevent reversal.

Het nadeel van dit ontwerp is, dat in tegenstelling tot de moderne mechanismen met 5 wormwieltjes- overbrenging een bekrachtigde fijnstemming ontbreekt.The disadvantage of this design is that, in contrast to the modern mechanisms with a worm gear transmission, an energized fine tuning is missing.

Om dit te compenseren heeft men voor de hoogste snaar vlak achter de kam een klein stelschroefje aangebracht, dat onhandig is te bedienen.To compensate for this, a small set screw has been fitted for the highest string just behind the comb, which is inconvenient to operate.

De uitvinding beoogt met een kleine wijziging in de pen - zonder de in hel oog vallende klassieke vormgeving aan te tasten - daar verbetering in aan te brengen.It is an object of the invention to improve it with a small change in the pin - without affecting the classical design that falls into the eye.

10 En wel door - zoals op de tekening nr. 2 is te zien — het gedeelte waar de snaar omheen wordt gewonden zodanig te verdunnen, dat evenredig aan de mate waarin dit gebeurt, de fijnstemming toeneemt.10 This is done by - as can be seen in the drawing no. 2 - diluting the part around which the string is wound in such a way that the fine tuning increases proportionally to the extent to which this happens.

De tweede verbetering welke daar uit voortkomt is, dat eveneens evenredig aan de mate der verdunning, de houdbaarheid der blokkering zal toenemen.The second improvement that results from this is that the shelf life of the block will also increase proportionally to the degree of dilution.

15 De derde daaruit voorvloeiende verbetering is, dat met dezelfde evenredigheid het aanspannen der snaren minder kracht zal vergen, zodat zelfs kinderen gemakkelijk kunnen stemmen.The third improvement resulting therefrom is that with the same proportion the tightening of the strings will require less force, so that even children can easily vote.

Indien de snaarspanner uit een combinatie van materialen is vervaardigt als ivoor, kunststof en metaal kan de fijnstemming bepalende verdunning maximaal worden 20 aangewend, door dit deel van een daarvoor geëigend metaal te maken.If the string tensioner is made from a combination of materials such as ivory, plastic and metal, the fine-tuning dilution can be used to a maximum, by making this part of a suitable metal.

CONCLUSIES. De uitvinding bewerkstelligt - overeenkomstig het streven der vioolbouwers om het klassieke model te behouden - middels een simpele verandering van de snaarspanner een drievoudige verbetering. En wel te verstaan een fijnstemprincipe met als kenmerk der bekrachtiging, dat er voor een 5 bepaalde snaarspanning meer omwentelingen moeten worden gemaakt, dan voor dezelfde toonhoogte met de oorspronkelijke ongewijzigde snaarspanner het geval is. Met als voordeel daarvan dat het aanzienlijk lichter gaat, en er een stevigere blokkering tegen terugdraaien wordt verkregen. Dit alles door - zoals dit op tekening nr.CONCLUSIONS. The invention achieves - in accordance with the endeavor of the violin makers to maintain the classical model - a triple improvement through a simple change of the string tensioner. And that is to say a fine tuning principle with the characteristic of the excitation that more revolutions have to be made for a certain string tension than is the case for the same pitch with the original unchanged string tensioner. The advantage of this is that it goes considerably lighter, and a more robust anti-roll back lock is obtained. All this through - like this on drawing no. 2 is te zien — bij de spanpen dat deel te verdunnen, 10 waar de snaar normaliter omheen wordt gewikkeld. l u y j :v. ij2 can be seen - at the tension pin, to dilute that part, around which the string is usually wound. l u y j: v. ij
