[0002] The invention relates to a sound membrane for use in a membranophone for generating sounds with a resonance surface, wherein the resonance surface has a first region with a first haptic surface structure, as well as a method for producing a sound membrane and / or a membranophone.

[0003] State of the art

[0004] Membranophones feature a membrane stretched over a resonating body, the body. This membrane can be made of animal skin, parchment, plastic film, paper, mesh, or similar. The membrane can be made to vibrate in various ways. This is usually done by striking it, as with a percussion drum. Friction drums are also known, whose membrane is struck with an object or the hand.

[0005] Natural materials, such as animal skins or woven fabrics, and synthetic materials (plastics) are commonly used to make sound membranes. Natural materials are usually preferred over synthetic materials because the sounds they produce are warm. When the sound membrane is struck with, for example, a drumstick or a hand, a fundamental tone with minimal overtones is produced. The effect produced by the overtones is to significantly distort the sound and reduce its quality. In the case of a sound membrane made from a natural material, such as woven fabric, the decay of the tone is relatively short, therefore each note in a musical composition is clearly audible.

[0006] Compared to natural materials, the sound of a membrane made of synthetic materials contains many dissonant overtones. The result is typically an unpleasant, indistinct musical sound. Despite these problems, synthetic membranes have distinct advantages, including the strength of the material itself and their ability to withstand the negative effects of humidity and temperature.

[0007] Elastic mesh fabrics have a surface structure that makes these materials particularly suitable for generating different sound patterns from one and the same membrane or membranophone by causing the membrane to vibrate through impact and friction. The body has a significant influence on the sound pattern of a membranophone. With a body that is light in relation to the membrane, part of the kinetic energy of the membrane is converted into low-frequency vibrations of the body. With short bodies, low frequencies are dampened due to an acoustic short circuit. Some frequencies are amplified by resonance between the membrane and air volume system in the body.

[0008] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a sound membrane with which a plurality of sound images can be generated without changing the tension of the sound membrane on the body.

[0009] It is a further object of the present invention to provide a membranophone with which a plurality of sound images can be generated without changing the tension of the sound membrane on the body.

[0010] It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a sound membrane and / or a membranophone with which a plurality of sound patterns can be generated without changing the tension of the sound membrane on the body. This object is achieved by means of the sound membrane for use in a membranophone for generating sounds according to claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are set forth in the subclaims.

[0011] The acoustic membrane according to the invention is typically mounted, for example, by means of a tensioning frame on a body designed as a resonating body. The acoustic membrane has a resonating surface. The resonating surface of the acoustic membrane is the flat area of ​​the acoustic membrane that, when arranged on a resonating body (body), vibrates freely when the acoustic membrane is actuated, for example, by a mallet, striking it with the hand, or stroking it with the hand or an object. The resonating surface has a first area with a first haptic surface structure.

[0012] According to the invention, the resonant surface has a second region that has a different structure than the first region. The second region is arranged on the same side of the resonant surface as the first region, usually on the surface of the resonant surface. Optionally, the second region of the resonant surface is arranged on the side of the resonant surface opposite the side on which the first region is arranged.

[0013] When the sound membrane is activated in the two different areas, two different vibration modes arise in the sound membrane, depending on the design of the two areas, resulting in two different sound patterns of the membranophone. Using a sound membrane, different sound patterns can therefore be generated without having to change the tension of the sound membrane, change the actuating instrument, or install or operate additional components.

[0014] Optionally, the first and second areas can have different surface textures. By striking them with the hand or stroking them with the hand or an object, the different areas of the resonant surface also produce different sound patterns.

[0015] In a further embodiment of the invention, the upper side of the resonance surface has a second region, wherein the upper side of the second region has a haptic surface structure that differs from the upper side of the first region. The surface of the resonance surface is the side of the resonance surface that is actuated and is arranged opposite the underside of the resonance surface. The underside of the resonance surface faces the resonance chamber formed by the body. The different haptics of the first and second regions result, for example, from the different friction coefficients of the first and second regions.

[0016] In a further embodiment of the invention, the sound membrane comprises an elastic mesh fabric. The elastic mesh fabric forms part or the entire surface of the resonant surface and can be manufactured using weaving technology.

[0017] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the structure of the mesh in the first area of ​​the resonance surface differs from the structure of the resonance surface in the second area of ​​the sound membrane. The type of interlacing of warp and weft threads in a fabric, the so-called weave, determines the structure of the mesh. A variety of different weave types are known, e.g., plain weave, twill, or satin weave; zigzag twill, wavy twill, and rep. These differently designed weaves influence the properties of the mesh, in particular the natural vibration modes of the mesh when the sound membrane is activated. When the mesh of the sound membrane is activated, the sound membrane therefore produces different sound images.

[0018] In a further development of the invention, the sound membrane comprises woven textile. The woven textile has at least two types of thread (warp and weft), whereby a multitude of fabric variants, fabric thicknesses and surface structures can be produced using different weaving techniques. In a further embodiment of the invention, the woven textile has a different weave pattern in the first area of ​​the resonance surface than in the second area of ​​the resonance surface. Different fabrics with, for example, striped, checked and jacquard patterns can be produced from combined weaves of at least two different weaves, which have different natural vibration modes when the sound membrane is activated. Optionally, the woven textile has a different weave structure in the first area of ​​the resonance surface than in the second area of ​​the resonance surface. The type of crossing of warp and weft threads in a fabric, the so-calledWeave determines the weave structure of the woven textile. When the sound membrane is activated in different areas, it produces different sound patterns.

[0019] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the woven textile comprises woven-in elements, wherein the woven elements in the first region of the sound membrane are different from the woven elements in the second region of the sound membrane. The woven-in elements are elements that change the feel of the surface of the woven textile, e.g. sequins, snap fasteners, beads. Optionally, the woven elements themselves create a sound image, e.g. rattles or bells. Optionally, the elements are not woven into the woven textile, but applied to the surface, e.g. by means of an adhesive material, sewn on as a patch, clipped on or arranged in another way on the surface of the woven textile.

[0020] In a further embodiment of the invention, the woven textile in the first region of the sound membrane has a different yarn than the woven textile in the second region of the sound membrane. The yarns differ, for example, in terms of their yarn twist. In addition, threads can be used which consist of several twisted yarns or yarn threads. Optionally, the yarn of the woven textile in the first region of the sound membrane has a different material than the yarn of the woven textile in the second region of the sound membrane. Natural materials such as linen, cotton or wool are used, but also synthetic materials such as polyester. Fiber blends such as 50% cotton, 50% polyester are also possible. Optionally, the yarn of the woven textile in the first region of the sound membrane has a different yarn thickness than the yarn of the woven textile in the second region of the sound membrane.Optionally, the woven textile in the first area of ​​the sound membrane has a different tension than the woven textile in the second area of ​​the sound membrane. In particular, the first and second areas are arranged on the sound membrane with different tensions. Therefore, when one or more of the areas of the sound membrane are activated, different vibration modes arise in the sound membrane, depending on the design of the areas.

[0021] In a further embodiment of the invention, the second region has a different haptic surface structure than the first region. The different haptics of the first and second regions result from the different friction coefficients of the first and second regions. When actuated, particularly by stroking one or more of the regions of the sound membrane with the hand or an object, different vibration modes arise in the sound membrane depending on the design of the regions, resulting in different sound patterns of the membranophone.

[0022] In a further embodiment of the invention, one of the regions of the resonance surface has a shape other than circular. While the resonance surface, like the sound membrane, usually has a circular shape, one or both regions of the resonance surface have different shapes, e.g. rectangular, oval, semicircular, etc. The regions can also have different shapes from one another in order to optimally utilize the available space on the resonance surface and / or to induce different characteristic vibration modes in the sound membrane when one or more of the regions of the sound membrane are actuated. In a further embodiment of the invention, one of the regions of the resonance surface has an arrangement that deviates from rotational symmetry around the center of the sound membrane. The stated object is further achieved by means of the membranophone for generating sounds.

[0023] The membranophone according to the invention for generating sounds comprises a body and a sound membrane. When the membranophone is in a playable state, the sound membrane is stretched over the body.

[0024] The membranophone according to the invention has a sound membrane stretched over a resonating body, the body. The body has a major influence on the sound of the membranophone. With short bodies, low frequencies are dampened due to an acoustic short circuit. Additional frequencies are amplified by resonance between the sound membrane and air volume system in the body. The combination of sound membrane and body defines the sound of the membranophone.

[0025] The sound membrane comprises an elastic mesh fabric. In addition, the sound membrane is coated on one side, although the sound membrane can optionally be left uncoated on one side. The coating is optionally applied to the underside of the sound membrane. Optionally, the resonance surface of the sound membrane is fully coated. Thanks to this advantageous design, the surface structure of the elastic mesh fabric is only covered on one side; the upper side of the sound membrane opposite the coating still has the surface structure of the elastic mesh fabric and can be made to resonate in various ways (e.g., striking, rubbing). At the same time, the coating is so elastic and stable that the sound membrane can be attached to a body with high tension.

[0026] In a further development, this coating arrangement results in the top and bottom of the sound membrane having a different haptic feel. Because the coating is positioned on only one side of the sound membrane, the surface structure of the elastic mesh fabric is only covered on one side, while the side opposite the coating continues to display the surface structure of the elastic mesh fabric. The different haptics result, for example, from the different friction coefficients of the coating and the elastic mesh fabric.

[0027] In a further development of the invention, the sound membrane comprises woven textile. The woven textile has at least two thread types (warp and weft), whereby a variety of fabric variants, fabric thicknesses, and surface structures can be produced using different weaving techniques.

[0028] In a further development of the invention, the coating comprises several layers. The coating comprises a plurality of layers that differ from one another, for example, in layer thickness, elastic modulus, and / or type of material, in order to produce different sound patterns of the membranophone.

[0029] The stated object is further achieved by means of the method for producing a sound membrane and / or a membranophone for generating sounds. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are also set forth in the subclaims.

[0030] The inventive method for producing a sound membrane and / or a membranophone for generating sounds comprises two process steps: In the first process step, a first region of the resonance surface of the sound membrane is produced. In the second process step, a second region of the resonance surface of the sound membrane is produced. The second region is arranged on the same side of the resonance surface as the first region, usually on the surface of the resonance surface. Optionally, the second region of the resonance surface is arranged on the side of the resonance surface opposite the side on which the first region is arranged.

[0031] According to the invention, the first region of the resonance surface and the second region of the resonance surface have a different structure. When the sound membrane is activated in the two different regions, two different vibration modes arise in the sound membrane, depending on the design of the two regions, resulting in two different sound patterns of the membranophone. Using a sound membrane, different sound patterns can therefore be generated without having to change the tension of the sound membrane, change the actuating instrument, or install or operate additional components.

[0032] Optionally, the first and second areas can be manufactured in such a way that the two areas have different surface structures. By striking them with the hand or stroking them with the hand or an object, the different areas of the resonant surface also produce different sound patterns.

[0033] In a further embodiment of the invention, the upper side of the resonance surface has a second region, wherein the upper side of the second region has a haptic surface structure that differs from the upper side of the first region. The surface of the resonance surface is the side of the resonance surface that is actuated and is arranged opposite the underside of the resonance surface. The underside of the resonance surface faces the resonance chamber formed by the body. The different haptics of the first and second regions result, for example, from the different friction coefficients of the first and second regions.

[0034] In a further embodiment of the invention, a second region is arranged on the upper side of the resonance surface, wherein the upper side of the second region is produced with a haptic surface structure that is different from the upper side of the first region. The surface of the resonance surface is the side of the resonance surface that is actuated and is arranged opposite the underside of the resonance surface. The underside of the resonance surface faces the resonance chamber formed by the body. The different haptics of the first and second regions result, for example, from the different friction coefficients of the first and second regions. In a further embodiment of the invention, one of the regions of the resonance surface is produced in a shape other than circular. While the resonance surface, like the sound membrane, usually has a circular shape, one or both regions of the resonance surface have different shapes, for exampleRectangular, oval, semicircular, etc. The regions can also have different shapes from one another in order to optimally utilize the available space of the resonance surface and / or to induce different characteristic vibration modes in the sound membrane when one or more of the regions of the sound membrane are activated. In a further development of the invention, one of the regions of the resonance surface is manufactured in an arrangement that deviates from rotational symmetry around the center of the sound membrane.

[0035] In a further embodiment of the invention, the sound membrane is made in the form of an elastic mesh fabric. The elastic mesh fabric forms part or the entire surface of the resonant surface and is manufactured using a weaving technique.

[0036] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the structure of the mesh in the first region of the resonance surface is produced differently from the structure of the resonance surface in the second region of the sound membrane. The type of crossing of warp and weft threads in a fabric, the so-called weave, determines the structure of the mesh. A variety of different weave types are known, e.g., plain weave, twill or satin weave, zigzag twill, wavy twill, and rep. These differently designed weaves influence the properties of the mesh, in particular the natural vibration modes of the mesh when the sound membrane is activated. When the mesh of the sound membrane is activated, the sound membrane therefore produces different sound images.

[0037] In a further development of the invention, the sound membrane is produced as a woven textile. The woven textile has at least two types of thread (warp and weft), with different weaving techniques producing a multitude of fabric variants, fabric thicknesses and surface structures. In a further embodiment of the invention, the woven textile in the first area of ​​the resonance surface is produced with a different weave pattern than in the second area of ​​the resonance surface. Different fabrics with, for example, striped, checked and jacquard patterns can be produced from combined weaves of at least two different weaves, which have different natural vibration modes when the sound membrane is activated. Optionally, the woven textile in the first area of ​​the resonance surface is produced with a different weave structure than in the second area of ​​the resonance surface. The type of crossing of warp and weft threads in a fabric, the so-calledWeave determines the weave structure of the woven textile. When the sound membrane is activated in different areas, it produces different sound patterns.

[0038] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, elements are woven into the woven textile, wherein the woven elements in the first area of ​​the sound membrane are optionally different from the woven elements in the second area of ​​the sound membrane. The woven elements are elements that change the feel of the surface of the woven textile, e.g. sequins, snap fasteners, beads. Optionally, the woven elements themselves create a sound image, e.g. rattles or bells. Optionally, the elements are not woven into the woven textile, but are applied to the surface, e.g. using an adhesive material, sewn on as a patch, clipped on or arranged in another way on the surface of the woven textile.

[0039] In a further embodiment of the invention, the woven textile in the first region of the sound membrane is made with a different yarn than the woven textile in the second region of the sound membrane. The yarns differ in terms of, for example, their yarn twist. In addition, threads can be used which consist of several yarns or yarn threads twisted together. Optionally, the yarn of the woven textile in the first region of the sound membrane has a different material than the yarn of the woven textile in the second region of the sound membrane. Natural materials such as linen, cotton or wool are used, but also synthetic materials such as polyester. Fiber blends such as 50% cotton, 50% polyester are also possible. Optionally, the yarn of the woven textile in the first region of the sound membrane has a different yarn thickness than the yarn of the woven textile in the second region of the sound membrane.Optionally, the woven textile in the first section of the sound membrane is manufactured with a different tension than the woven textile in the second section. Optionally, the first and second sections are arranged on the sound membrane with different tensions. Therefore, when one or more of the sections of the sound membrane are activated, different vibration modes arise in the sound membrane depending on the design of the sections.

[0040] The membranophone for generating sounds according to the invention comprises a body and a sound membrane. When the membranophone is in a playable state, the sound membrane is stretched over the body.

[0041] Embodiments of the sound membrane according to the invention, the membranophone according to the invention and the method according to the invention for producing a sound membrane and / or a membranophone are shown in a simplified schematic manner in the drawings and are explained in more detail in the following description.

[0066] Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of an embodiment of a membranophone 1 according to the invention. The membranophone 1 has the sound membrane 10, which is tensioned onto the upper edge of the body 2 by means of a tensioning device 3, e.g. a tensioning hoop and tuning screws running around the upper edge of the body 2, in such a way that the underside U of the sound membrane 10 faces the resonance chamber formed by the body 2. The surface area of ​​the sound membrane 10 that is not arranged on and above the upper edge of the body 2 forms the resonance surface R of the sound membrane 10. The resonance surface R is accordingly the area of ​​the sound membrane 10 that vibrates freely when the upper side O of the sound membrane 10 is actuated, e.g. by a mallet, striking with the hand or stroking with the hand or an object.

[0067] Fig. 2 shows top views of the upper side O of different embodiments of the sound membrane 10 according to the invention. In this embodiment, the sound membrane 10 comprises a mesh fabric 100, which is designed as a woven textile. The mesh fabric 100 has different regions 101, 102, 103.

[0068] The individual different regions 101, 102, 103 differ from one another in the type of weaving technique of the mesh fabric 100 (see Fig. 5). When one or more of the regions 101, 102, 103 of the sound membrane 10 are activated, depending on the design of the regions 101, 102, 103, different vibration modes arise in the sound membrane 10, resulting in different sound images of the membranophone 1. In particular, the individual different regions 101, 102, 103 therefore have different, in particular haptically different, surface structures.

[0069] In this exemplary embodiment, up to three mutually different regions 101, 102, 103 of the mesh fabric 100 are arranged concentrically, with the center point of the regions 101, 102, 103 being formed by the center point of the circular sound membrane 10. The sound membrane 10 according to the invention can have only a single region 101 (Fig. 2 a), thus the mesh fabric 100 is homogeneously formed over the entire upper side O of the sound membrane 10. The mesh fabric 100 can also have two different regions 101, 102 (Fig. 2 b) or three different regions 101, 102, 103 (Fig. 2 c).

[0070] Fig. 3 shows top views of the upper side O of further different exemplary embodiments of the sound membrane 10 according to the invention. The mesh fabric 100 has different regions 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, which in this exemplary embodiment are arranged in equally sized segments. The sound membrane 10 has two different regions 101, 102 (Fig. 3 a), four different regions 101, 102, 103, 104 (Fig. 3 b), or six different regions 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106 (Fig. 3 c). The different areas 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106 have a shape different from the circular shape for optimal use of the space on the sound membrane 10

[0071] Fig. 4 shows plan views of the upper side O of different embodiments of the sound membrane 10 according to the invention, wherein in these embodiments the different regions 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112 are arranged both concentrically and segmented. The sound membrane 10 has twelve different areas 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112 (Fig. 4 a), eight different areas 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108 (Fig. 4 b) or four different areas 101, 102, 103, 104 (Fig. 4 c).

[0072] Top views of exemplary embodiments of differently designed mesh fabrics 100 are shown in Fig. 5. The three mesh fabrics 100 shown here are designed as woven textiles, i.e., they are produced using weaving technology. The mesh fabric 100 has two thread systems (warp and weft), which are referred to in this document as the transverse thread system 120 and the longitudinal thread system 130. Both thread systems 120, 130 have the same thread. The thread systems 120, 130 intersect at a right angle; the thread systems 120, 130 in these exemplary embodiments have the same fineness and the same yarn type. Thread systems 120, 130 with differently designed threads are conceivable.

[0073] In addition, the different regions 101, 102, 103 can differ from one another in terms of their weave pattern and weave structure, with different vibration modes also being generated when the upper side O of the sound membrane 10 is actuated, for example by a mallet, striking it with the hand, or stroking it with the hand or an object. The different regions 101, 102, 103 can also be produced with different yarns, with the yarn having different thicknesses and / or different materials. During the manufacturing process, the tension with which the regions 101, 102, 103 are woven can also be varied. The weave, i.e. the type of crossing of the two thread systems 120, 130, is designed differently from one another in each of these exemplary embodiments. The weave in Fig.

[0074] Figure 5a shows a so-called plain weave in which a transverse thread 120 alternately runs under a longitudinal thread 130, and conversely, a longitudinal thread 130 runs under a transverse thread 120. Figures 5b and 5c show differently woven rib weaves. The transverse threads 120 overlap four longitudinal threads (Figure 5b) and three longitudinal threads (Figure 5c), respectively. Further weaves of the thread systems 120, 130 are conceivable.

[0075] These differently designed weaves influence the properties of the mesh fabric 100, in particular the natural vibration modes of the mesh fabric 100 when the sound membrane 10 is actuated.

[0076] In a further embodiment, the woven textile comprises woven-in elements, wherein the woven elements in the first area of ​​the sound membrane are different from the woven elements in the second area of ​​the sound membrane. The woven-in elements are elements that change the feel of the surface of the woven textile, e.g. sequins, snap fasteners, beads. Optionally, the woven elements themselves create a sound image, e.g. rattles or bells. Optionally, the elements are not woven into the woven textile, but applied to the surface, e.g. using an adhesive material, sewn on as a patch, clipped on or arranged in another way on the surface of the woven textile.

[0077] Fig. 6 shows a sectional view of an embodiment of a membranophone 1 according to the invention (see Fig. 1). The membranophone 1 has the sound membrane 10, which is clamped onto the upper edge of the body 2 by means of a clamping device 3 such that the underside U of the sound membrane 10 faces the resonance chamber formed by the body 2.

[0078] The upper side O of the sound membrane 10 comprises the elastic mesh fabric 100. The coating 200 is arranged on the underside U of the sound membrane 10 (see Fig. 7, Fig. 8). The coating 200 is arranged on the underside U of the sound membrane 10 such that at least the resonant surface R is completely covered with the coating 200. In this exemplary embodiment, a larger area than the resonant surface R is provided with the coating 200. The tensioning device 3 thus tensions and fixes not only the elastic mesh fabric 100, but also the coating 200.
