Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shoulder rest for a string instrument.
  • a shoulder rest for string instruments is known from the generic DE-PS 26 04 897.
  • the shoulder rest described therein enables on the one hand a continuous adjustment to the width of the instrument, on the other hand the instrument can be held by means of the shoulder rest in such a way that it is in an optimal position on the body of the musician.
  • the various adjustment options ensure that such a shoulder rest is adapted to the most varied sizes of stringed instruments and to the most varied sizes of musicians, the vertical distance of the clavicle from the chin being important here.
  • An essential feature of the generic device is that the adjustable clamping device on the support plate slides over a substantially in the longitudinal axis of the support plate and self-locking adjustable support arm is mounted.
  • This design of the shoulder rest it is achieved that, even when adapting to very wide instruments, the actual shoulder rest is always stored as close as possible to the body edge of the instrument.
  • the self-locking mounting of the support arm within a bearing block enables stepless adjustment and easy adjustment of the support arm.
  • the previously known self-locking mounting of the support arm in a bearing block has the disadvantage that the support arm can move within the bearing block at high loads and thus change its setting. In these cases, the position of the string instrument in relation to the musician changes, which leads to uncertainties when playing the instrument.
  • the change in position of the support arm within the clamping bearing block can occur especially when the shoulder rest has been in operation for a long time and the elasticity of the elastic bearing block is weakening or material changes and temperature differences influence the elasticity of the material.
  • the support arm is once again supported by its holder within the bearing block made of an elastic material between the bearing eyes, so that when the holding device is adjusted, the adjustment of the support arm can only take place against the holding and clamping force of the bearing block.
  • This allows a very fine adjustment of the position of the support arm and, if this position is set, the support arm temporarily also maintains its position, so that now the screw clamp can be actuated in peace - even after removing the actual musical instrument - which then Support arm absolutely fixed.
  • a combination storage is achieved, which on the one hand ensures a rigid fixing of the support arm, and on the other hand maintains the advantage of the self-locking setting of the support arm.
  • a shoulder rest 1 essentially from a support plate 2 which carries clamping devices 3 and 4 at its two outer ends.
  • the clamping devices 3, 4 are designed at their upper end as holding claws 5, which enclose the lower edge of a stringed instrument 6 and hold it securely.
  • the clamping devices 3, 4 have threaded pins 7, so that the distance between the shoulder rest 1 and the stringed instrument 6 can be changed as required.
  • the clamping device 3 is arranged on a support arm 8 which is movably guided in bearing eyes 9 and 10.
  • a bearing block 11 and a screw clamp 12 are located between the bearing eyes 9, 10.
  • the bearing block 11 consists of a resilient material which hinders the free movement of the support arm 8 guided therein.
  • the screw terminal 12 is provided with a screw 14, the tip of which extends to the support arm 8.
  • the clamping device 3 In order to adjust the distance between the holding claws 5 of the clamping devices 3 and 4 to the respective width of the stringed instrument 6, the clamping device 3 is pushed onto the stringed instrument 6 until both holding claws 5 securely grip the lower edge of the stringed instrument 6. This position of the clamping device 3 is automatically maintained since the support arm 8 is held in its position by the form-elastic bearing block 11 becomes. In this way, no unwanted loosening of the clamping device 3 or the holding claws 5 is possible, and the shoulder rest 1 remains firmly in place on the stringed instrument 6 even during this initially preliminary adjustment.
  • the support arm 8 is fixed in its set position by tightening the screw 14 by means of the screw clamp 12.
  • the screw 14 is advantageously designed as a hexagon socket screw, but any other type of screw can also be used.
  • the screw terminal 12 is arranged directly on the bearing eye 9.
  • the screw terminal 12 is arranged directly on the other bearing eye 10
  • the bearing block 11 is provided directly on the bearing eye 9.
  • only the positions of the screw terminal 12 and the bearing block 11 have been exchanged.
