Description

ACCESORIO PARA INSTRUMENTO MUSICAL ACCESSORY FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

Esta solicitud reivindica prioridad del Modelo de Utilidad U201931974 presentado el 3 de diciembre de 2019. This application claims priority of Utility Model U201931974 filed on December 3, 2019.

CAMPO TÉCNICO TECHNICAL FIELD

Esta descripción se refiere a accesorios para instrumentos musicales, en particular a accesorios para mantener una posición relativa entre un instrumento musical y el cuerpo del músico, adecuada para practicar o aprender a tocar el instrumento. This description refers to accessories for musical instruments, in particular accessories for maintaining a relative position between a musical instrument and the body of the musician, suitable for practicing or learning to play the instrument.

ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA STATE OF THE ART

En el campo de los instrumentos musicales, especialmente instrumentos de cuerda y similares, tales como guitarras, violines, etc. es conocido el uso de accesorios que pueden acoplarse al instrumento para mantener una posición adecuada del cuerpo del músico respecto al instrumento. En los documentos de patente ES2653888, WO2016001459, US6005175, US10235899, y AT507532 se describen ejemplos de dichos accesorios. In the field of musical instruments, especially string instruments and the like, such as guitars, violins, etc. It is known to use accessories that can be attached to the instrument to maintain a proper position of the musician's body relative to the instrument. Examples of such accessories are described in patent documents ES2653888, WO2016001459, US6005175, US10235899, and AT507532.

Los accesorios conocidos hasta ahora, tales como los descritos en los documentos citados anteriormente, están destinados a sujetar diversas partes del cuerpo, tales como un brazo, un codo, o un dedo de la mano de un músico, respecto al instrumento, o bien para sujetar el instrumento a una prenda del usuario. Estos accesorios, sin embargo, sólo permiten mantener una parte muy concreta del cuerpo del usuario, tal como el brazo, el codo, o un dedo, en una posición determinada, lo cual es un inconveniente dado que normalmente dicha parte concreta del cuerpo del usuario no constituye una parte relevante del cuerpo del usuario a la hora de aprender a tocar el instrumento. En otros casos, dichos accesorios conocidos llegan a dificultar tocar el instrumento, como ocurre en el caso de accesorios que sujetan uno de los dedos del músico. The accessories known up to now, such as those described in the documents cited above, are intended to hold various parts of the body, such as an arm, an elbow, or a finger of a musician's hand, relative to the instrument, or to fastening the instrument to a wearer's garment. These accessories, however, only allow keeping a very specific part of the user's body, such as the arm, elbow, or finger, in a certain position, which is a drawback since normally said specific part of the user's body it is not a relevant part of the user's body when learning to play the instrument. In other cases, said known accessories make it difficult to play the instrument, as in the case of accessories that hold one of the musician's fingers.

Existe, por lo tanto, la necesidad de un accesorio que permita sujetar una parte relevante del cuerpo del usuario y mantenerla en una posición correcta, particularmente mientras está aprendiendo a tocar el instrumento, sin el auxilio del profesor. DESCRIPCIÓN There is, therefore, a need for an accessory that allows to hold a relevant part of the user's body and keep it in a correct position, particularly while learning to play the instrument, without the assistance of the teacher. DESCRIPTION

Para solucionar el problema citado, se describe a continuación un conjunto accesorio para un instrumento musical, tal como una guitarra, un violín o similar, con el cual se obtienen, además, numerosas otras ventajas, tal como se verá en lo sucesivo. In order to solve the aforementioned problem, an accessory set for a musical instrument, such as a guitar, a violin or the like, is described below, with which, in addition, numerous other advantages are obtained, as will be seen hereinafter.

El conjunto accesorio para instrumento musical que se describe incluye por lo menos un mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca. Este mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca comprende una parte de apoyo de la muñeca y una parte de acoplamiento al instrumento. The described musical instrument accessory assembly includes at least one wrist support mechanism. This wrist support mechanism comprises a wrist support part and an instrument coupling part.

La parte de apoyo de la muñeca está destinada a quedar en contacto con el cuerpo del usuario y, en particular, presenta una configuración que abraza y sostiene por lo menos parcialmente una muñeca de una mano de un usuario. Para ello, la parte de apoyo de la muñeca puede presentar una configuración curvada abrazando por lo menos parcialmente una muñeca de una mano de un usuario o una configuración poligonal, tal como en forma de U o de L abrazando por lo menos parcialmente la muñeca del usuario para sostenerla. En cualquier caso, la parte de apoyo de la muñeca del mecanismo de soporte está configurada para sujetar una muñeca de la mano derecha, o de la mano izquierda, en caso de usuarios zurdos, y mantener una posición adecuada de la misma respecto al instrumento musical mientras el usuario toca el instrumento musical en sesiones de práctica o aprendizaje. The wrist support part is intended to be in contact with the user's body and, in particular, has a configuration that embraces and supports at least partially a wrist of a user's hand. For this, the wrist support part may have a curved configuration at least partially hugging a wrist of a user's hand or a polygonal configuration, such as U-shaped or L-shaped, at least partially hugging the user's wrist. user to hold it. In any case, the wrist support part of the support mechanism is configured to hold a wrist of the right hand, or of the left hand, in the case of left-handed users, and maintain a suitable position of the same with respect to the musical instrument. while the user plays the musical instrument in practice or learning sessions.

La muñeca, la mano y el brazo del usuario pueden considerarse aquí globalmente una parte relevante del cuerpo del usuario. The wrist, hand and arm of the user can here be considered globally a relevant part of the user's body.

Por su parte, la parte de acoplamiento del mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca está destinada a acoplarse a un instrumento musical. A modo de ejemplo no limitativo, la parte de acoplamiento puede estar configurada para acoplarse a una guitarra tal como, por ejemplo, sobre la tapa armónica de la guitarra y el aro superior de la misma, justo a la derecha (mirando la guitarra desde frente) ortogonal al puente de la guitarra. For its part, the coupling part of the wrist support mechanism is intended to be coupled to a musical instrument. By way of non-limiting example, the coupling part can be configured to mate with a guitar such as, for example, on the soundboard of the guitar and the top rim of the guitar, just to the right (looking at the guitar from the front ) orthogonal to the bridge of the guitar.

El conjunto accesorio descrito permite a un músico mantener una posición correcta de una parte relevante, derecha o izquierda (en caso de usuarios zurdos), de su cuerpo, es decir, la muñeca, la mano y el brazo, respecto al instrumento. Más concretamente, el accesorio descrito permite a un músico que está practicando o aprendiendo a tocar una guitarra, por ejemplo, mantener una posición correcta de su mano, ya sea la derecha o la izquierda, en caso de usuarios zurdos, sobre las cuerdas de la guitarra, sin el auxilio de un profesor. Con el conjunto accesorio propuesto, el profesor tan sólo tiene que participar para regular el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca según la conformación de la mano y la longitud del antebrazo del alumno. The accessory set described allows a musician to maintain a correct position of a relevant part, right or left (in the case of left-handed users), of his body, that is, the wrist, hand and arm, with respect to the instrument. More specifically, the accessory described allows a musician who is practicing or learning to play a guitar, for example, maintain a correct position of your hand, either the right or the left, in the case of left-handed users, on the guitar strings, without the help of a teacher. With the proposed accessory set, the teacher only has to participate to regulate the wrist support mechanism according to the shape of the hand and the length of the student's forearm.

En un ejemplo del conjunto accesorio que se describe, el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca está configurado de modo que la posición relativa entre la muñeca del usuario y el instrumento musical es regulable en por lo menos un primer plano paralelo al instrumento musical. En particular, dicha posición es regulable en dicho primer plano o en varios planos paralelos entre sí y a una superficie del instrumento musical. En un ejemplo no limitativo, dicho primer plano puede ser un plano coincidente o paralelo a una superficie frontal de una guitarra. Otras opciones son posibles. In one example of the accessory assembly that is described, the wrist support mechanism is configured so that the relative position between the user's wrist and the musical instrument is adjustable in at least one foreground parallel to the musical instrument. In particular, said position is adjustable in said first plane or in several planes parallel to each other and to a surface of the musical instrument. In a non-limiting example, said first plane can be a plane coincident or parallel to a front surface of a guitar. Other options are possible.

En otro ejemplo, el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca está configurado de modo que la posición relativa entre la muñeca del usuario y el instrumento musical es regulable en un segundo plano distinto al primer plano citado anteriormente. Dicho segundo plano forma un ángulo con el instrumento musical. En un ejemplo no limitativo, el segundo plano es un plano inclinado o perpendicular a una superficie frontal de una guitarra. Otras opciones son posibles. En este último caso, en el que el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca permite regular la posición relativa entre la muñeca del usuario y el instrumento musical en un segundo plano, pueden disponerse medios de regulación de la separación entre una muñeca de una mano del usuario y el instrumento musical. Dicha regulación de la separación entre la muñeca y el instrumento musical puede realizarse en dicho segundo plano. In another example, the wrist support mechanism is configured such that the relative position between the user's wrist and the musical instrument is adjustable in a second plane other than the foregoing first plane. This second plane forms an angle with the musical instrument. In a non-limiting example, the second plane is an inclined or perpendicular plane to a front surface of a guitar. Other options are possible. In the latter case, in which the wrist support mechanism makes it possible to regulate the relative position between the user's wrist and the musical instrument in the background, means can be provided for regulating the separation between a wrist of a user's hand. and the musical instrument. Said regulation of the separation between the wrist and the musical instrument can be carried out in said background.

Todavía en otro ejemplo, el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca está configurado de modo que la posición relativa entre la muñeca del usuario y el instrumento musical es regulable en dicho por lo menos un primer plano y también regulable en dicho segundo plano. In still another example, the wrist support mechanism is configured so that the relative position between the user's wrist and the musical instrument is adjustable in said at least one first plane and also adjustable in said second plane.

En todos los ejemplos citados, la posibilidad de regular la posición relativa entre la muñeca del usuario y el instrumento musical en uno o más planos puede implicar movimientos de giro y/o desplazamiento de por lo menos el elemento de soporte de la muñeca y el elemento de conexión en dichos planos. También en todos los ejemplos citados, el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca puede estar configurado de modo que la posición relativa entre la muñeca del usuario y el instrumento musical sea regulable en cualquiera de dichos planos de modo que permita un ángulo entre la mano y el antebrazo del usuario de entre 5o y 25°. Otros ángulos de inclinación de la mano y el antebrazo son posibles, tales como entre 0o y 80°. In all the cited examples, the possibility of regulating the relative position between the user's wrist and the musical instrument in one or more planes may involve turning and / or displacement movements of at least the wrist support element and the element. connection in said planes. Also in all the cited examples, the wrist support mechanism can be configured so that the relative position between the user's wrist and the musical instrument is adjustable in any of said planes so as to allow an angle between the hand and the instrument. forearm user or between 5 and 25 °. Other angles of inclination of the hand and forearm are possible, such as from 0 or 80 °.

Un conjunto accesorio para instrumento musical como el descrito permite al alumno estar seguro de tocar siempre un instrumento, que lleva incorporado el accesorio, en una posición correcta de la mano derecha o izquierda, en caso de usuarios zurdos, con una correcta inclinación de la muñeca, definida por el ángulo entre la mano y el antebrazo. Esta posición de la muñeca, de la mano y del brazo del usuario, que constituyen globalmente una parte relevante del cuerpo, tal como se ha indicado anteriormente, puede predeterminarse para que sea la adecuada para un alumno que está practicando o aprendiendo a tocar la guitarra, por ejemplo, tal que permita apoyar los dedos sobre las cuerdas de la guitarra creando un arco entre los nudillos y la punta de los dedos. An accessory set for musical instrument such as the one described allows the student to be sure of always playing an instrument, which incorporates the accessory, in a correct position of the right or left hand, in the case of left-handed users, with a correct wrist inclination , defined by the angle between the hand and the forearm. This position of the user's wrist, hand and arm, which globally constitute a relevant part of the body, as indicated above, can be predetermined to be suitable for a student who is practicing or learning to play the guitar. For example, such that it allows the fingers to rest on the guitar strings, creating an arc between the knuckles and the fingertips.

La parte de acoplamiento al instrumento del mecanismo de soporte puede incorporar ventosas u otros tipos de medios de sujeción tales como imanes, mordazas, pinzas o materiales adhesivos temporales para un acoplamiento apropiado del mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca a un instrumento musical. Así, en un ejemplo del mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca, éste es desmontable del instrumento musical. Sin embargo, en otros ejemplos, el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca es un mecanismo montado fijo en el instrumento musical, a través de, por ejemplo, un adhesivo permanente. En cualquier caso, el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca queda anclado adecuadamente al instrumento musical en sesiones de práctica o aprendizaje. The instrument engagement portion of the support mechanism may incorporate suction cups or other types of holding means such as magnets, jaws, clips, or temporary adhesive materials for proper engagement of the wrist support mechanism to a musical instrument. Thus, in one example of the wrist support mechanism, it is removable from the musical instrument. However, in other examples, the wrist support mechanism is a mechanism mounted fixedly on the musical instrument, through, for example, a permanent adhesive. In either case, the wrist support mechanism is properly anchored to the musical instrument in practice or learning sessions.

En un caso particular del conjunto accesorio para instrumento musical que se describe, la parte de apoyo de la muñeca del mecanismo de soporte comprende un elemento de soporte con un extremo curvado. Dicho extremo curvado presenta una forma anatómica adecuada adaptada para el apoyo de una muñeca del usuario, ya sea de la mano derecha o de la mano izquierda, en caso de usuarios zurdos. El elemento de soporte del mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca está acoplado a un elemento de conexión. Este elemento de conexión, a su vez, está acoplado a la parte de acoplamiento del mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca de manera que por lo menos dos o más del elemento de soporte, el elemento de conexión, y la parte de acoplamiento pueden girar y desplazarse entre sí en dicho por lo menos un primer plano y también en dicho segundo plano. In a particular case of the accessory set for musical instrument described, the wrist support part of the support mechanism comprises a support element with a curved end. Said curved end has a suitable anatomical shape adapted to support a user's wrist, either the right hand or the left hand, in the case of left-handed users. The support member of the wrist support mechanism is coupled to a connecting member. This connecting element, in turn, is coupled to the coupling part of the wrist support mechanism so that at least two or more of the support element, the connecting element, and the coupling part can rotate and move relative to each other in said at least one close-up plane and also in the background.

La interacción móvil entre el elemento de soporte de la muñeca, el elemento de conexión, y la parte de acoplamiento permite encontrar, de manera rápida y sencilla, la correcta posición de la muñeca del músico para practicar o aprender a tocar el instrumento. Una vez que se ha obtenido la posición adecuada para tocar el instrumento, los citados elementos, es decir, el elemento de soporte, el elemento de conexión, y la parte de acoplamiento del mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca pueden fijarse uno respecto al otro a través de unos medios de fijación. Dichos medios de fijación pueden comprender, por ejemplo, un mecanismo de tornillo y rosca, o un mecanismo de bloqueo mecánico de presión. Muchos otros medios de fijación son posibles. The mobile interaction between the wrist support element, the connection element, and the coupling part allows to find, quickly and easily, the correct position of the musician's wrist to practice or learn to play the instrument. Once the proper position for playing the instrument has been obtained, the aforementioned elements, that is, the support element, the connection element, and the coupling part of the wrist support mechanism can be fixed relative to each other at through fixing means. Said fixing means may comprise, for example, a screw and thread mechanism, or a mechanical pressure locking mechanism. Many other means of attachment are possible.

El conjunto accesorio puede comprender, además, un soporte para el codo para apoyar un codo derecho o izquierdo, en caso de usuarios zurdos. El soporte para el codo puede comprender una parte de acoplamiento para acoplar el soporte para el codo al instrumento musical y una parte de apoyo del codo, asociada a la parte de acoplamiento, configurada para permitir el apoyo de un codo de una mano derecha o izquierda, en caso de usuarios zurdos. La parte de apoyo del codo presenta preferiblemente una forma anatómica adecuada. The accessory assembly may further comprise an elbow support to support a right or left elbow, in the case of left-handed users. The elbow support may comprise a coupling part for coupling the elbow support to the musical instrument and an elbow support part, associated with the coupling part, configured to allow the support of an elbow of a right or left hand. , in case of left-handed users. The supporting part of the elbow preferably has a suitable anatomical shape.

En el caso particular en que el instrumento musical es una guitarra, el elemento de sujeción del codo puede estar adaptado para acoplarse a la parte superior de la tapa armónica de la guitarra, aproximadamente ortogonal al puente. Para tal fin, la parte de acoplamiento puede incorporar ventosas, imanes, un conjunto sargento/mordaza, materiales adhesivos temporales, u otros tipos de sujeción, y combinaciones de los mismos. Muchos otros medios de fijación son posibles. In the particular case where the musical instrument is a guitar, the elbow clamping element may be adapted to engage the upper part of the soundboard of the guitar, approximately orthogonal to the bridge. To this end, the coupling portion may incorporate suction cups, magnets, a clamp / clamp assembly, temporary adhesive materials, or other types of fasteners, and combinations thereof. Many other means of attachment are possible.

El elemento de sujeción del codo coopera con el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca para permitir a un guitarrista, por ejemplo, sujetar una parte relevante de su cuerpo y mantenerla en una posición correcta, por ejemplo, mientras está aprendiendo a tocar el instrumento, sin el auxilio de un profesor. En particular, el elemento de sujeción del codo permite a un músico colocar su antebrazo en una posición adecuada, apoyando una parte superior del mismo, a 1 o 2 centímetros del codo aproximadamente, o en el mismo codo, sobre el perfil donde el aro superior de la guitarra se une con la tapa armónica de la misma y aproximadamente ortogonal al puente de la guitarra. Esto obliga al alumno a mantener el antebrazo o el codo apoyado en una posición correcta. Esta posición del codo, junto con la posición de la muñeca proporcionada por el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca, permite sujetar una parte relevante del cuerpo del músico y mantenerla en una posición correcta al practicar o aprender a tocar el instrumento, sin el auxilio de un profesor. The elbow clamp cooperates with the wrist support mechanism to enable a guitarist, for example, to hold a relevant part of his body and keep it in a correct position, for example, while learning to play the instrument, without the help of a teacher. In particular, the elbow clamping element allows a musician to place his forearm in a suitable position, supporting an upper part of it, 1 or 2 centimeters from the approximately elbow, or in the same elbow, on the profile where the upper ring of the guitar meets the soundboard of the same and approximately orthogonal to the bridge of the guitar. This forces the student to keep the forearm or elbow supported in a correct position. This elbow position, together with the wrist position provided by the wrist support mechanism, allows a relevant part of the musician's body to be grasped and kept in a correct position when practicing or learning to play the instrument, without the aid of a teacher.

El conjunto accesorio puede comprender, además, un elemento de regulación de la inclinación del instrumento musical respecto al usuario. Dicho elemento de regulación inclinación puede comprender una parte de acoplamiento para acoplar el elemento de regulación al instrumento musical. En el caso particular en que el instrumento musical es una guitarra, el elemento de regulación inclinación está adaptado para colocarse en la parte inferior de la tapa armónica de la guitarra, aproximadamente ortogonal al puente de la misma. El elemento de regulación de inclinación puede acoplarse al instrumento mediante el uso de ventosas u otros tipos de sujeción adecuados tales como imanes, un conjunto sargento/mordaza, materiales adhesivos, etc. Muchos otros medios de fijación son posibles. The accessory assembly may further comprise an element for regulating the inclination of the musical instrument with respect to the user. Said tilt adjustment element may comprise a coupling part for coupling the adjustment element to the musical instrument. In the particular case in which the musical instrument is a guitar, the inclination adjustment element is adapted to be placed in the lower part of the soundboard of the guitar, approximately orthogonal to the bridge of the same. The tilt adjustment element can be attached to the instrument through the use of suction cups or other suitable fasteners such as magnets, a clamp / jaw assembly, adhesive materials, etc. Many other means of attachment are possible.

El elemento de regulación de inclinación presenta también una parte de regulación asociada a la parte de acoplamiento que está destinada a quedar sujeta por el usuario mientras toca el instrumento musical. La parte de regulación puede presentar un extremo inferior adaptado para acoplarse a una banda de tela o de goma destinada a quedar presionada por el usuario. Esto permite fijar adecuadamente la inclinación de la guitarra en una posición correcta respecto al usuario, preferiblemente ortogonal al suelo. The tilt regulation element also has a regulation part associated with the coupling part that is intended to be held by the user while playing the musical instrument. The regulating part may have a lower end adapted to engage a cloth or rubber band intended to be pressed by the user. This makes it possible to properly set the inclination of the guitar in a correct position with respect to the user, preferably orthogonal to the ground.

El acoplamiento entre el elemento de regulación de inclinación y la banda de tela o de goma puede realizarse, por ejemplo, mediante unas ranuras formadas en un extremo del elemento de regulación de inclinación por cuyo interior pasa la citada banda de tela o de goma, bloqueándose en posición. Son posibles otras muchas maneras de llevar a cabo el acoplamiento entre el elemento de regulación de inclinación y la banda de tela o de goma, tales como, por ejemplo, a través de uno o más ganchos entre la banda y el extremo del elemento de regulación de inclinación, o a través de un mecanismo de presión, creando una pequeña mordaza que bloquea la banda al elemento de regulación de inclinación. El elemento de regulación de la guitarra permite a un guitarrista, por ejemplo, mantener la guitarra con una inclinación correcta, es decir, con la tapa armónica de la guitarra perpendicular al suelo impidiendo al alumno, sobre todo si es principiante, que la guitarra se desplace, girándola hacia afuera. Este efecto es muy importante dado que dicho desplazamiento incorrecto de la guitarra es muy común en estudiantes principiantes, el cual se produce en un intento por tener más visibilidad a la hora de utilizar los dedos de la otra mano, que presionan las cuerdas sobre el mástil de la guitarra. Este desplazamiento incorrecto de la guitarra afecta a la correcta posición de la mano que pellizca las cuerdas y también a la espalda, que se curva sobre la guitarra y/o gira asimétricamente hacía la izquierda, o hacia la derecha en caso de alumnos zurdos. The coupling between the inclination adjustment element and the fabric or rubber band can be carried out, for example, by means of grooves formed at one end of the inclination adjustment element through which the said fabric or rubber band passes, blocking in position. Many other ways of effecting the coupling between the tilt adjustment element and the fabric or rubber band are possible, such as, for example, through one or more hooks between the band and the end of the adjustment element. of inclination, or through a pressure mechanism, creating a small clamp that locks the band to the element of regulation of inclination. The adjustment element of the guitar allows a guitarist, for example, to keep the guitar at the correct inclination, that is, with the soundboard of the guitar perpendicular to the ground, preventing the student, especially if they are a beginner, from playing the guitar. move it by turning it outwards. This effect is very important since this incorrect displacement of the guitar is very common in beginning students, which is produced in an attempt to have more visibility when using the fingers of the other hand, which press the strings on the neck. of the guitar. This incorrect displacement of the guitar affects the correct position of the hand that pinches the strings and also the back, which curves over the guitar and / or rotates asymmetrically to the left, or to the right in the case of left-handed students.

El conjunto accesorio para instrumento musical que se describe puede incluir tanto el citado elemento de sujeción del codo como dicho elemento de regulación de inclinación del instrumento. Otros accesorios y combinaciones de accesorio son posibles. En un instrumento que incorpora el elemento de sujeción del codo y el elemento de regulación de inclinación del instrumento, este último coopera con el primero y también con el mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca descrito anteriormente, para permitir a un guitarrista, por ejemplo, sujetar una parte relevante del cuerpo y mantenerla en una posición correcta, particularmente mientras está aprendiendo a tocar el instrumento, sin el auxilio del profesor. The accessory set for a musical instrument that is described can include both said elbow clamping element and said instrument inclination regulating element. Other accessories and accessory combinations are possible. In an instrument incorporating the elbow clamping element and the instrument tilt adjustment element, the latter cooperates with the former and also with the wrist support mechanism described above, to allow a guitarist, for example, to hold a relevant part of the body and keep it in a correct position, particularly while learning to play the instrument, without the help of the teacher.

Also, the wrist support mechanism, the elbow support, and the tilt adjustment element of the instrument may be configured, all or some of them, as plate-like, block, or other suitable structures. fixed or even extensible structures such as gooseneck-like structures.

El movimiento relativo del elemento de soporte de la muñeca y el elemento de conexión del mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca respecto a la parte de acoplamiento de dicho mecanismo de soporte puede controlarse visualmente a través de un sistema mecánico graduado. En particular, en algunos casos, pueden incorporarse unas marcas de graduación para controlar una posición del elemento de soporte, el elemento de conexión, o la parte de acoplamiento del mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca. The relative movement of the wrist support member and the wrist support mechanism connecting member with respect to the part of Coupling of said support mechanism can be visually controlled through a graduated mechanical system. In particular, in some cases, graduation marks may be incorporated to control a position of the support member, the connecting member, or the engagement portion of the wrist support mechanism.

También en algunos ejemplos particulares, dicho movimiento relativo puede llevarse a cabo a través de medios motores adecuados para hacer deslizar dichos elementos de manera controlada. En particular puede disponerse uno o varios motores eléctricos de pequeño tamaño para variar una posición de por lo menos uno del elemento de soporte, el elemento de conexión, o la parte de acoplamiento del mecanismo de soporte de la muñeca. Pueden disponerse también medios de control para regular adecuadamente el funcionamiento de dichos motores eléctricos para obtener la posición adecuada de la muñeca. Also in some particular examples, said relative movement can be carried out through suitable motor means to make said elements slide in a controlled manner. In particular, one or more small electric motors can be arranged to vary a position of at least one of the support element, the connection element, or the coupling part of the wrist support mechanism. Control means may also be provided to properly regulate the operation of said electric motors to obtain the proper position of the wrist.
