Definitions

  • the invention belongs to the field of devices for holding musical instruments, preferably hand harmonicas, in their position on the body of the player.
  • the tether device of a musical instrument which has a strap, a plug-in fastener that connects both ends of the straps to the body of the player, an adjusting element which enables the length of the tether to be adjusted to the waist circumference of the player, and a connecting element, that connects the tether and the musical instrument was based on the problem of how its structure can be perfected such that in addition to transferring quite a bit of the instrument weight to the player's hips, it also allows the musical instrument to be placed on the player's body, and regardless of the position of the instrument on the player's body, which is subjectively determined by the player's needs for holding the instrument in different playing styles, whereby the playing is not hindered and a quick, simple assembly and disassembly are made possible.
  • a musical instrument preferably a harmonica, is carried on the shoulders by armpit straps and pulled to the body by means of a waist strap.
  • Known waist-encompassing tether devices are designed as flexible straps, the free ends of which are put together with a fastener and whose length can be changed and adapted to the waist circumference of the player by means of an adjusting element which can be made in one piece with the fastener or separately.
  • the belt is still on Connection element attached, which connects the waist-encompassing tether with the lower rear part of the front box of the harmonica.
  • connection element can be implemented in several ways: as a push button, the male part of which is attached to the belt and the female part of which is attached to the harmonica; as a pocket closure, the male part of which is attached to the belt on the belt and the eye part on the harmonica, or as a plug-in element, the insertion projections of which are attached to the rear lower part of the front box of the harmonica and the eye part are attached to the belt of the waist-holding belt.
  • the focus of the harmonica is in the bellows and is shifted while playing. However, it is always outside the field, which is from the stops of the harmonica, i.e. the attachment points of the armpit straps and the connecting element between the harmonica and the waist-holding belt is determined. That is why, in addition to the stresses caused by the harmonica weight, the waist belt encompassing the waist also creates a transverse force or moment that moves the waist strap encompassing the waist of the musician. It is not even possible to completely prevent this belt from being displaced by pulling the waist belt completely around the waist.
  • Another shortcoming of the well-known waist belt for musical instruments are the connecting elements that connect the instrument and the belt. These elements can only be actuated directly by hand, by the player reaching from the underside of the front box of the harmonica onto his back and then closing or releasing the connection by touching and using force. This measure affects the concentration of the player, especially since professional or top musicians often switch between different harmonic types while playing, as required by the piece of music to be played.
  • the waist-holding belt in the hip area which is approximately half its length, is designed as a rigid arch part, at the free ends of which flexible straps are connected, which are connected by a plug closure in a manner known per se.
  • This part also has an adjustment element known per se, which enables the length of the holding belt to be adapted to the waist circumference of the player.
  • At the belly-side free end section of the rigid bow part there is an insertion flap which extends into a position-determining, retaining connection part which is attached to the lower part of the rear of the front box of the harmonica.
  • the rigid bow section prevents the waist belt device from being moved around the waist of the musician.
  • the stopping point of the musical instrument is fixed on the tether.
  • the position-determining, retaining part of the harmonica enables the stopping point to be moved left or right according to the musician's wish. Since such an element is attached to all musical instruments, the musician can adjust the position of each musical instrument differently without changing the position of the waist belt device or its stop, which encompasses the waist.
  • the rigid bow part of the tether is padded accordingly.
  • the rigidity of the bow part only affects the changing side forces and gravity that occur during play. Otherwise, it is envisaged that the bow portion can be continuously reshaped to suit the anatomical characteristics of the waist of each individual musician.
  • the resilient parts of the tether are designed in a manner known per se and additionally enable any auxiliary means used temporarily, such as e.g. a bag with specially prepared lobes with which the musician wipes the keys that have become slippery with sweaty fingers.
  • the waist-holding belt device is carried out from a waist-holding belt 1, the ends of which are provided with a partially known two-part fastener 2, 2 ', further from a known adjusting element 3, the Holding belt 1 is attached in the vicinity of one of the fastener parts 2, 2 ', and consists of a rigid curved part 4, which in an advantageous embodiment is approximately ⁇ -shaped in cross section (FIG. 2) and the length of which is approximately half the circumference of the holding belt, so that it covers one hip of the musician.
  • the rigid bow part 4 is padded in a manner known per se so as not to injure the waist of the musician.
  • the belly-side end section 5 of the rigid arch part 4, which projects freely from the padded remaining part, is designed as a flat band, on the upper longitudinal edge 6 of which a semicircular recess 6 'is made.
  • the free end section 5 of the arch part 4 acts as the male part of the connecting element 3 ', the female part 10 of which is designed as a plate 11 with a bracket 12 in the form of a flat square U such that the end section 5 of the arch part 4 reaching through the bracket is perpendicular to the bracket.
  • another bracket 13 is formed on the plate 11, which is similar to the bracket 12 and which is mounted on the plate 11 such that it comprises one of the corner points 14 of the end portion 5 of the arch part 4, namely that which is on the different longitudinal edge than that with the semicircular recess 6 '.
  • the plate 11 is attached to a support plate 15 which is intended for attachment to the lower part of the rear of the front box of the harmonica, which is not shown in the drawing.
  • the support plate 15 is designed with at least one edge rib 16 serving as a stop, which acts as a guide for the plate 11 is used, which can be adjusted in stages on the plate 15 with the aid of two rows of nuts 17 and screws 17 '.
  • the adjustment of the plate 15 on the plate 11 is provided as a fine adjustment of the position of the harmonica on the body of the musician.
  • the plate 15 is also provided with holes 17 '' for its screw fastening on the harmonica.
  • the plate 15 and thus the plate 11 is subjected to torsion in addition to the force of gravity of the harmonica, which is why a positive engagement of the plate 11 and the end portion 5 of the arch part 4 is provided, which consists in that there is one leg of the bracket 12 in the recess 6 ', thereby preventing the connecting element from coming apart; the mutual straightness of the curved part 4 and the plate 11 is ensured by holding the corner point of the curved part 14 in the bracket 13.
  • the connection part can be released simply by lifting the front box of the harmonica and moving it to the side. The assembly takes place in reverse order. Since such movements do not occur while playing, it is not possible to loosen them automatically.
