Abstract: The invention relates to a precision reed (100) for single-reed instruments such as the clarinet or saxophone, made of wood or an Arundo donax section, having a vibrating section (120) formed for sound generating by means of an air flow in the single-reed instrument, having a clamping section (110) formed for clamping the reed (100) to the mouthpiece (200) with a reed holder, the clamping section (110) having a support wall (104) for supporting the reed (100) on the mouthpiece (200) and a reed back (111) facing away from of the mouthpiece (200). In this case, the reed back (111) is formed for a fully flat contact with the reed holder.

Abstract: Ligature for woodwind instruments, such as a clarinet or saxophone, having a receiving block (4), which is designed to clamp a reed (1) to a mouthpiece (2) of the woodwind instrument, while preventing twisting and/or sliding, by exerting a compressive force (14) on the reed (1), so that an axis of symmetry or longitudinal direction (1f) of the reed (1f) is aligned with an axis of symmetry or longitudinal direction of a bearing surface of the mouthpiece (2), characterized in that the receiving block (4) is designed to receive the reed (1) in a force-fitting manner and/or to establish a form fit with at least one side surface (1d) of the reed (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for receiving mass-produced individual or stacked articles or products, especially plastic cups, which after having been produced in a moulding and/or punching machine are ejected from same. The device comprises a catching device for catching the ejected products and a stacking device which receives the products from the catching device and after stacking holds them ready for further transport. The catching and stacking devices can be moved away from and towards each other. The stacking device is used during the movement towards the catching device for seizing the product(s) held in the catching device and during the movement away from the catching device for withdrawing the product(s) from the catching device.
