Description

1 TARIFF A bağlama (a type of Turkish stringed instrument) with an armrest in its body. TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention is designed to improve player comfort and strengthen forearm muscles in stringed instruments. to reduce contractions occurring in the groups of muscles in the torso and arm The armrest recess is related to the design of the bağlama instrument. It has an armrest recess. In the bağlama, the hollow is the upper body of the instrument that the right arm makes contact with during performance. It is located in the region. 10 PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE In bağlama making, the shape of the body (soundboard) is a tradition that has remained unchanged for centuries. It is in this form. In its standard form, the boat's back ends as a flat surface and the top layer The edge forms a hard surface that the hoe's arm makes direct contact with. This contact is 15 The flexor pollicis longus, located on the underside of the forearm, is the point used in prolonged performances. repetitive movement of the flexor digitorum profundus and pronator quadratus muscles This leads to it getting stuck. In classic manufacturing techniques, there is no anatomical compatibility area in this region. This situation causes muscle fatigue in the player, restricted wrist flexion, and a pinched 20. It creates a disruption in the continuity of its movements. In the literature of the bağlama instrument, the arm... a bonding form in which the contact surface is anatomically shaped This is not the case. Traditional designs do not include any measures to increase comfort. No external solutions are available. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The present invention eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and the related technical Developed to provide new advantages in the field, with an armrest recess in its body. It is related to the bağlama instrument that was found. The purpose of the invention is to perform 30 on the bağlama, an instrument belonging to the stringed instrument class (chordophone). during this time, the muscular area below the elbow of the right arm, the sharp corners on the upper part of the boat local pressure increase and repetitive compression occurring at the point where it contacts the edge. To reduce its impact, an armrest recess is integrated into the binding body. The aim is to ensure its regulation. 2 Within the scope of the invention, the natural contact of the right forearm is located on the upper right side of the boat's keel. an oval-shaped, concave anatomical structure that conforms to its curve. a groove is formed. Thanks to this groove, the contact load is distributed along a single hard edge line. Instead of concentrating, it spreads over a wider surface; thus, on the underside of the forearm deep layer muscle groups (flexor pollicis longus, flexor digitorum profundus, 5 The pressure and compression on the pronator quadratus are reduced. The invention addresses muscle fatigue, discomfort, and nerve compression caused by prolonged performance. by reducing performance losses; the wrist is in a more comfortable position for the player. maintaining the pronation / flexion range of motion within natural limits with the plectrum. It allows them to continue their movements. The arrangement requires no external apparatus. This is a structural solution that does not negatively affect the vibration transmission and acoustic characteristics of the hull. It is designed in a way that will not affect anything. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Figure 1; A bağlama (a Turkish stringed instrument) with an armrest recess in its body. 15 It shows. REFERENCE STATEMENTS The reference number shown in the figure corresponds to the following: 1. Armrest recess 20 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The body of the lute (boat) is traditionally made by carving from a single piece or by segmenting. It has a concave form created by this method. In standard forms, the upper edge of the boat and the surface in the upper body area, at the point where the right forearm rests during execution, is 25 It forms a relatively rigid and uninterrupted contact line. This contact line is long. prolonged and repetitive pressure on muscle groups in the lower forearm muscle spasms, fatigue, and consequently restricted wrist movement with the pick It can cause a disruption in the continuity of their movements. The subject of the invention is the armrest shown with number (1) in Figure 1, 30. pit (1), on the upper right side of the boat's keel and the sound of the top crest line of the boat It is located in the area extending towards the hole. Armrest recess (1), the area where the lower part of the right arm, below the elbow, rests against the body during execution It is arranged to encompass the forearm's boat edge / upper surface. 3 the contact it creates is broader than focusing on a "edge line". It is distributed throughout the area. The armrest recess (1) is oval to conform to the natural curvature of the arm. It is designed in a form and shaped to have a smooth transition with the body surface. The depth of the pit is approximately 20 mm, its length is about 125 mm, and its width is about 5 mm. Depending on the curvature, it ranges from 60–70 mm. These measurements depend on the dimensions of the boat and It is scalable depending on the instrument form, and the basic principle is the contact surface. It is the process of concave the structure to provide anatomical compatibility. In the context of the production process, the armrest pit (1) was created after the boat form was formed. Then, after the soundboard of the instrument is glued to the body (chest), it is manually pressed 10 times. It is opened using a shaping method. The inner surface of the pit is aligned with the rest of the body. It is processed in a way that shows continuity from the same tree species, and the surface, trunk and compatible hardening varnish / polyester or natural lacquer types (shellac / It is coated with gum arabic (gomma lacka). This ensures surface continuity on the body; vibration The transition continues uninterrupted and the instrument's acoustic impedance is 15. Ergonomic support is provided without creating a meaningful change. The innovation presented by the invention is that the ergonomics of the instrument are structurally adapted to the shape of the body. The armrest hollow (1) is integrated, which helps to relax the forearm muscle groups, this allows the wrist pronation movement to remain within its natural range and provides better control over the pick. This allows for its protection in a sensitive and sustainable manner. This situation is implemented in 20 It improves performance and reduces musculoskeletal strain during prolonged playing sessions. DISTINCTIVE FEATURES • Anatomically designed armrest recess integrated into the binding body. • Determining the depth and curvature of the furrow according to the anatomy of the forearm muscles. 25 • It provides ergonomic support without altering the acoustic properties of the instrument's body. • A structural solution that requires no additional equipment. TECHNICAL PROBLEM – SOLUTION – TECHNICAL EFFECT Technical problem: Right forearm 30 in the upper edge / upper boat area during mooring. Due to the concentration of the contact on a hard line, it is local in long-term performance. Increased pressure, muscle fatigue, and risk of impaired performance. 4 Technical solution: On the upper right side of the boat's keel, near the direction of the handle, The oval, concave armrest recess conforms to the natural curve of the forearm and is designed to fit the body. integration. Technical effect: In the forearm area, contact pressure is spread over a large surface area. Reduced tightness / fatigue; allows the wrist range of motion to remain natural and the pick 5 Contribution to the sustainability of control; structural design that does not require external equipment. ergonomics.
