Definitions

  • the invention relates to a finger ring with plectron, which is adjustably mounted around a pin arranged on the ring.
  • Such a plectron is used to strike the strings in stringed instruments, especially guitars.
  • a plectron without a fastening ring is often lost, especially during the game, which is extremely disruptive for the player. In general, this also involves the complete loss of the plectron, because it is of course not possible to pick up the dropped plectron immediately during the game. It has long been opposed by providing a finger ring which is pushed onto the end member of the index finger and on which by means of a pin which has a rivet, a hollow rivet, a screw or the like. can be, the actual plectron is attached.
  • this can also be pivoted about this pin, so that it can possibly also be brought into an out-of-engagement position without the ring having to be released from the finger (for example US Pat. No. 2,776,592).
  • the plectron has also already been connected to the ring via a cantilever arm (US Pat. No. 557,293) in order to ensure a better position of use of the plectron attached to the ring between the thumb and forefinger when playing.
  • US Pat. No. 3,789,720 between the ring and to provide the plectron with locks in order to be able to fix a specific angular position of the plectron relative to the ring.
  • such a finger ring with a plectron of the type described above is redesigned in such a way that the ring has a cam on its outside, which is provided with a recess serving as a system for a further finger and carries the pin, the axis of which is approximately tangential to that the finger wearing the ring runs.
  • the invention provides two receptacles for two different fingers on the ring, the ring being pushed onto one finger, while the other finger finds a secure and firm attachment, but is free enough to guide the plectron with the thumb.
  • the ring is generally slipped onto the middle finger, namely onto the second limb of this finger, while the outer recess is intended for the adjacent index finger to be positioned in such a way that it remains sufficiently free to unhinderedly grasp and hold the plectron to be available to the thumb.
  • the arrangement can be such that the cam on the inside of the finger is located and as a result the index finger loosely engages in the recess from the outside and is supported there so that its tip extends beyond the recess and can still grip the plectron on the side opposite the thumb. But then he has a largely fatigue-free storage.
  • the arrangement of the axis to the finger takes account of the anatomical conditions in a preferred manner.
  • the pin and ring can consist of one workpiece, for example made of plastic by injection molding.
  • the generally flat plectron also has a particularly good circulation. It has proven particularly expedient to arrange the cam laterally offset next to the plane of the ring, according to the invention, with which the anatomical conditions can be taken into account in a particularly advantageous manner. The plectron can then be gripped more easily and more easily with the thumb and forefinger.
  • the surface of the cam bearing the pin is inclined at an acute angle to the plane of the ring and additionally at an acute angle to the outside of the ring.
  • This double inclination of the flat surface carrying the plectron is particularly advantageous for easy and fatigue-free handling of the plectron.
  • the axis of the pin may form an acute angle with the plane of the ring. This takes into account the fact that when the player is in a relaxed finger position, the finger member carrying the ring is slightly angled toward the inner palm.
  • a particularly expedient embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the ring consists of a band carrying the cam, one end of which can be locked at a closure part arranged at the other end.
  • This allows the circumference of the ring to be set within wide limits, the upper limit of which is determined by the length of the band. Since an arbitrarily strong bendable material can be used for the band and the length of the band is freely selectable, the finger ring according to the invention is thus practically infinitely adjustable between any small and large diameter, so that all anatomical conditions of the fingers of the respective player and the selected finger or phalanx can be taken into account at any time for wearing the ring.
  • the band of the finger ring according to the invention is also able to adapt to the actual shape of the finger in deviation from the exact circular ring shape, so that this ring-shaped band lies against the finger in all points of its inner surface and as a result thereof over its whole Particularly firm and frictional engagement sits securely.
  • the invention thus creates on the one hand the best possible conditions for handling the finger ring with plectron and, since it only requires the production of a single type of ring, in contrast to rings of a fixed diameter, a considerable reduction in the costs for production and storage.
  • the band is attached to the cam and this also has the closure part.
  • Such an embodiment is easy and inexpensive to manufacture because the entire finger ring, i.e.
  • the band, the cam and the closure part can be formed in one piece, for example by a conventional plastic processing method, the size of the cam making the cam particularly suitable for providing the necessary space and substance for a particularly stable closure part.
  • the cam has a guide for receiving and on this guide a catch for locking the tongue-shaped end of the band.
  • the band can thus be easily and conveniently moved within this guide for the purpose of adjusting the width of the finger ring until the desired ring width is reached. Then it can be locked in this position simply by engaging with the catch provided on this guide and thereby being fixed immovably.
  • the outer edges of the cam are largely rounded, so that the contact of the fingers is favored.
  • the cam is slidably guided on the belt. This makes it possible to adjust the position of the cam on the band with respect to the two ends of the band, so that the wearer of the ring has the possibility, in particular, of the closure part according to his individual wishes with the end of the band locked thereon to be brought to a certain, conveniently appearing point on the circumference of the fingers, whereas the cam can be brought into position independently of this at another suitable point on the circumference of the fingers.
  • the flat surface of the cam advantageously has a friction-increasing surface around the pin.
  • the plectron has such a friction-increasing surface on the side facing this surface around the bore receiving the pin. If necessary, both measures can also be taken at the same time.
  • the invention provides that the plectron has several bores for receiving the pin. It then protrudes over the ring with a more or less large free length.
  • This principle is reversed in that the pin can be locked on the cam of the ring and the cam has several detents for the pin.
  • the foot of the pin as well as the holes receiving the pin in the cam of the ring can be slightly conical, so that there is a reliable fit for the pin.
  • the ring has a transverse groove on the outside, the width of which is slightly less than the diameter of a string.
  • the ring which may be provided with the plectron, can be placed on a string when not in use, expediently above the sound hole of a guitar, so that it is not lost.
  • the ring 1 of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is open at 2, although a closed embodiment is also possible without this fundamentally changing the essence of the invention.
  • the ring 1 is provided on its outside 4 with a cam 5 which has a flattened flat surface 6 and has a trough-like recess 7 on the underside, ie in addition to the actual ring 1. While the ring 1 on the Mit finger 8 of the hand 9 is pushed on, the index finger 10 lies with its inside in the recess 7.
  • a pin 11 On the flat surface 6 of the cam 5, a pin 11 is arranged, which has a widened head 12 and possibly a cross recess 13. The axis 14 of the pin 11 extends approximately tangentially to the finger 8 carrying the ring.
  • the plectron 15 which can also have a different shape, has in its widened rear part 16 a bore 17, the inside diameter of which corresponds approximately to the outside diameter of the pin 11, so that the plectron 15 can easily be snapped onto the pin 11, but is sufficient there tight.
  • the lower surface of the plectron 15 is provided with radial ribs 18 around the bore 17. These can correspond to analog ribs 19 on the flat surface 6 of the cam 5 of the ring 1. These ribs 18 and 19 increase the friction between ring 1 and plectron 15 and prevent the plectron 15 from swiveling around the pin 11 prematurely.
  • the cam 5 can, as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, be arranged in the plane of the ring 1. 4 and 11, however, show that the cam 5 is arranged at an acute angle ⁇ to the plane 23 of the ring 1, that is, the cam 5 and the pin 11 are laterally offset from this plane 23 of the ring 1.
  • the displacement is expediently carried out in the direction of the root of the finger 8 bearing the ring 1.
  • Fig. 10 shows the cam 5 with an inwardly tapered bore 20, into which a pin 11 'is provided, which is provided with a correspondingly conically shaped foot 21'. If the surface 6 of the cam 5 of the ring 1, as can be seen in FIG. 11, has various such bores 20, the pin 11 'can be used at any point in such a way that the plectron 15 is the most favorable position for the respective player on points.
  • the plectron 15 ' is the plectron 15 'according to FIG. 12, where the plectron has, for example, two bores 17', with which it can be attached to the pin 11 of the ring 1 in a different position.
  • the pin 11 passes through the bore 17 of the plectron 15.
  • the bore 17 ' consists of an elongated hole with a part 43 of larger diameter, namely the outer diameter of the head 12, and a part 44 merging into this part 43 with a smaller diameter, approximately the diameter of the pin 11.
  • the plectron 15 ' can be snapped onto the pin 11 in such a way that the head 12 of the pin 11 first passes through the further part 43 of the bore 17' and then by laterally shifting the Plectrons 15 'this is locked in the bore part 44.
  • a ring 1 shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 shows, it consists of a flexible band 28, which is shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 in its bent state to form a ring and in FIG. 8 opened.
  • the cam 5 is attached to the outside of the ring 1. This protrudes laterally from the level 23 of the ring 1. It in turn has a flat surface 6 which is inclined in a plane 40 at an acute angle to the plane 23 of the ring 1.
  • this surface 6 has a further inclination in the plane 41 at an acute angle ⁇ to the tangent 22 on the ring 1.
  • the cam 5 is rounded on all of its outer surfaces in order to achieve an undisturbed contact with the fingers of the hand 9. 3, the second middle finger member is passed through the ring opening formed by the band 28, while the first member of the index finger 10 lies in the recess 7 of the cam 5.
  • the plectron 15 is guided between the thumb 29 and the index finger 10 ..
  • the band 28 is at one end 31 attached to the underside of the cam 5 near the inner surface 30. From there it uses its own flexibility to bend in a ring towards the flat surface 6 of the cam 5.
  • an approximately rectangular groove 32 is incorporated in the cam 5, the depth of which is somewhat greater than the thickness of the band 28 and the width of which corresponds to the width of the band 28.
  • This groove 32 serves as a guide for the tongue-shaped end 33 of the band 28, which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction within the groove 32 and thereby through the side walls 34 and. 35 of the groove 32 is guided.
  • a web 24, which serves as a catch for locking the tongue-shaped end 33 of the band 28, extends over the outside 36 of the band 28 lying flat with its inside 37 on the bottom 38 of the groove 32.
  • This web 24 is arranged directly at the insertion end of the groove 32, the length 49 of which is several times greater than the width 48 of the web 24 serving as a catch. If the particular ring size is determined by inserting the band end 33 into the groove 32, this is cut end of the band 28 protruding from the groove 32 so that it is not a hindrance when playing. In this way, there is still sufficient band length outside the web so that the ring 1 formed from the band 28 can possibly be expanded somewhat.
  • the tongue-shaped end 33 of the band 28 has a number of locking teeth 39. These can also be rounded in order to allow the locking of the band end 33 to be released.
  • the locking teeth 39 have an obliquely rising flank 50, which is followed by a further flank 51 falling steeply towards the outside 36.
  • the band 28 As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 5 and 7, is guided through the groove 32, the obliquely rising flanks 50 being able to slide freely under the elastically yielding web 24.
  • the tape 28 is so far in the groove 32 passed through until the desired ring width is set. Then the steep flank 51 of the corresponding locking tooth 39 engages on the web 24, so that the ring 1 is thereby closed.
  • the plane 23 of the ring 1 with the axis 14 of the pin 11 includes an acute angle ⁇ .
  • the cam 5 widens up to the flat surface 6 with a rounding 42 that swings outwards.
  • the cam 5 is arranged on the band 28 approximately in the middle thereof.
  • the cam 5 can be firmly connected to the band 28. But it can also be slidably guided on the belt 28.
  • the cam 5 has in the region of its inner surfaces 25 slots formed by integrally formed webs 26, 27, through which the band 28 is guided and thus connected to the cam 5.
  • a closure part 46 of U-shaped configuration is provided, which essentially corresponds to the closure part of the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 to 7.
  • the surface 6 of the cam 5 carrying the plectron 15 can, as shown in FIG. 9, have ribs 47 so that there is a sufficiently large friction between the plectron 15 and the surface 6.
  • the cam has a desired kink on its underside, it can be bent laterally with the plectron opposite the ring.
  • the desired kink is advantageously achieved by weakening the material, e.g. a groove arranged in the cam.
  • This desired kink as seen in FIG. 6, advantageously runs approximately parallel to the plane of the ring. It is important that the part of the cam can be bent relative to the ring, which carries the pin 11 for attaching the plectron 15.
  • the band 28 can be used both in the example from FIGS. 7 emerging direction to be joined to form a closed ring, but can also be inserted in the groove 32 of the cam 5 in the opposite direction (not shown).
