Definitions

  • a disadvantage of this musical instrument bag disclosed in DE 201 494 U1 is that with the distance of the instrument neck to the pocket wall securing element an additional, voluminous body in the Bag is inserted and thereby reduces the available transport volume becomes.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of a container to be specified for musical instruments with the instrument neck and head from the inside of the container are spaced and the volume of the container can be used more effectively, for example for accommodation additional items.
  • a key concept of the present invention is that the positioning element essentially consists of a bag. This means that Positioning element on an accessible cavity that the predominant Includes part of the volume occupied by the positioning element, and for storing other items, such as accessories, suitable is. This makes the in the container for musical instruments Available space is used more effectively.
  • the spacing of the instrument neck and / or the instrument head from the inside of the container results from the height of the positioning element above the respective fastening position on the inside of the container. This height can be determined so that the instrument neck and / or the instrument head essentially to all inner walls of the container is spaced.
  • the height of the positioning element is preferably between 3 and 7 cm.
  • the container for musical instruments itself consists of a bottom section and from a lid section.
  • the bottom section is the Side of the container, when the container is placed in the intended manner on a surface, for example a floor, facing this.
  • the cover section is located on the opposite side of the bottom section Side of the container.
  • the positioning element arranged on the bottom portion of the container. This keeps it instrument attached to it when opening the container provided in Way rests on a surface when lifting the lid section in its position. It cannot fall out or slip and thereby being damaged.
  • the pocket from which the positioning element extends consists essentially of essentially all of the Surface of the positioning element included the volume of the positioning element.
  • the positioning element has on one side a slit-like opening.
  • the cavity is formed Interior of the positioning element accessible and thus forms the interior a bag in which, for example, accessories such as cables or replacement items how a spare guitar strap can be accommodated.
  • the positioning element has a bottom and a top on.
  • the lower part is located at the attachment point of the positioning element on the inside of the container facing the Positioning.
  • the upper part is on the opposite side of the lower part Side of the positioning element.
  • This top and bottom of the positioning element are connected to one another in a hinge-like manner, in particular sewn, and via a closing device, in particular a zipper, lockable. They thus form the pocket from which the Positioning element consists essentially.
  • the pocket of the positioning element has a substantially cuboid shape.
  • Upper and lower part of the positioning element can be narrow on one of the two Sides of the cuboid pocket or on one of the two long sides of the cuboid pocket hinge-like interconnected, in particular sewn up.
  • the upper and lower part can be on the other side be connected by a zipper. This is preferably a zipper connection consistently across all three remaining pages executed. This will ensure full opening and therefore good accessibility the bag by lifting the top part.
  • An advantageous further development provides that on the positioning element on its free, facing away from the associated bottom or lid section Side for lateral fixation of the musical instrument at least two elongated auxiliary elements which pass through at least one gap-like intermediate region are separated from each other, are attached.
  • the intermediate area between the auxiliary elements should be between 0.5 cm and 4 cm, preferably between 1.0 cm and 2.5 cm.
  • the positioning element is on its free side facing away from the associated base or cover section a cuboid auxiliary element for lateral fixation of the musical instrument attached with at least one continuous gap-like depression.
  • the width of the depression should be between 0.5 cm and 4 cm, preferably between 1.0 cm and 2.5 cm, their depth should be between 1 cm and 3 cm, preferably about 2.0 cm. This is expediently at least one gap-like depression parallel to the longer side of the cuboid Pocket of the positioning element aligned.
  • Both the gap-like intermediate area between the elongated auxiliary elements as well as the gap-like depression in a cuboid auxiliary element enable partial enclosure and thus lateral fixation an attached instrument neck.
  • the auxiliary element is in a concrete, practical embodiment or the auxiliary elements consist at least partially of a cushioning material, especially foam.
  • a further training provides that the height of the auxiliary element or Auxiliary elements over the positioning element over the entire length of the Auxiliary elements or the auxiliary elements is essentially the same. Under length is the extension of the auxiliary element parallel to its longitudinal axis to understand.
  • the height should be between 2 cm and 6 cm, preferably between 3 cm and 5 cm.
  • An alternative further training provides that the height of the auxiliary element or the auxiliary elements above the positioning element along the longitudinal axis of the auxiliary element or the auxiliary elements increases, in particular from about 3 cm to about 5 cm. This may be a better adjustment to the specific one Form of the instrument, i.e. especially in the formation of a neck Stringed instruments.
  • the maximum height of the auxiliary element or the auxiliary elements above the positioning element smaller than the height of the Positioning element above the fastening position on the inside of the container.
  • the auxiliary elements are preferably dimensioned and arranged such that the entire width of the positioning means is essentially used.
  • the length of the aids can correspond to that of the positioning means, they but can also be significantly shorter.
  • Fixing device one or more fixing tapes are provided, which in particular below the positioning element and regardless of the attachment of the positioning element are attached to the container.
  • fixing straps at their free ends via releasable fastening means, especially Velcro fasteners, connectable with each other.
