Definitions
- the invention relates to a capo for fixing to a neck of a stringed musical instrument, comprising a string-contacting device, a tensioning band for fixing the string-contacting device to the neck of the stringed musical instrument and a fixing device for fixing the tensioning band to the string-contacting device.
- Capo to shorten the vibrating length of strings of a stringed musical instrument.
- a capo is stretched between two frets around the neck of the stringed musical instrument and presses the strings onto the frets.
- the string length then remains between a bridge of the stringed musical instrument and the fret which is closest to the bridge.
- a capo is known with a frame having an upper arm and having a side arm. About a jaw member and a lever member fixation is possible.
- the invention has for its object to provide a capo of the type mentioned, which is universally applicable and is easy to use.
- the capo can be hung before the final fixation to the neck of the corresponding stringed musical instrument. As a result, a prefixing is achieved.
- the final tension on the strap can then be performed by the operator with one hand, since he no longer has to hold the capo. This allows a simple and fast fixation for the operator.
- capo tasto With appropriate design of the tab, an adaptation to different neck shapes and neck dimensions is possible, so that the capo tasto according to the invention is universally applicable.
- the neck of the stringed musical instrument can be protected by the tab from damage.
- the at least one tab is arranged at a fixed angle to a string contact region of the string contact device.
- the at least one tab can be mobile, for example, due to its inherent elasticity. However, when no force is applied to the tab, it is positioned at a fixed angular position with the string locator. It This can form a kind of hook to hang the capo on the neck of the stringed musical instrument can.
- the angle is in a range between 20 ° and 50 °. In a specific embodiment, the angle is for example about 35 °.
- the at least one tab has a length such that it can be applied to a partial circumferential area of the neck of the string instrument area.
- the partial circumference area is at the bottom of the neck, which faces away from the fingerboard. It can extend over the entire width of the underside or over a partial width.
- the string contact device has a contact pad. With this investment pad then presses the string-conditioning device on the fingerboard of the stringed musical instrument. This is protected from damage.
- the at least one tab is arranged on the contact pad and, for example, is integrally formed thereon.
- the plant pad and tab abut the neck of the stringed musical instrument. With appropriate training of a soft material and in particular plastic material of the neck of the stringed musical instrument is protected from damage.
- the at least one tab is made of a thermoplastic elastomer.
- a thermoplastic elastomer is TPE. It is advantageous if the at least one tab with respect to the string-conditioning device due to inherent elasticity of the material from which it is made, is movable. As a result, for example, the otherwise fixed angle between the tab and the string-conditioning device can be changed. This makes it possible to mount the capo on necks of stringed musical instruments with different shapes and different dimensions. As a result, in turn, the capo tasto according to the invention is universally applicable.
- the tension band is guided past the at least one tab above the tab when the capo is fixed to the neck of the stringed musical instrument.
- the fixation is easier because after hanging the capo, the strap can be performed above the tab. Threading or threading the tension band is not necessary.
- then can also exert a force on the strap on the strap to press them against the neck of the stringed musical instrument, to achieve better fixation and in particular to achieve full clamping of the capo on the neck.
- the at least one tab is so arranged and formed and the clamping band is arranged and designed so that the at least one tab against the neck of the stringed musical instrument can be pressed by the tensioning band.
- a tension can be achieved over a large circumferential area. This in turn also force peaks on the neck of the stringed musical instrument are avoidable.
- the strap is mounted with one end to the string-conditioning device translation-resistant.
- the string-conditioning device translation-resistant Through this storage, the structure of the Kapodasters simplified. Furthermore, this gives a fast fixability.
- the strap is pivotally mounted at one end to the string conditioning device.
- the angle between the clamping band in the region of this end and the string conditioning device is adjustable.
- the at least one tab is arranged at or in the vicinity of one end of the string contact device, which is opposite to an end of the string contact device, on which the tension band is fixed. This allows the strap to easily pass over the tab. This gives a high fixation effect.
- the string-contacting device has a bracket, which lies with a first side at least partially over the at least one tab.
- Over the hanger can protect a transition region between the string conditioning device and the tab. For example, it can be avoided that excessive forces are introduced into the transition region.
- a guide surface for the clamping band can be provided by the bracket.
- the first side of the bracket rests against the at least one tab in order to protect it, for example, against excessive force loads.
- tensioning band is guided on a second side of the bracket, which lies opposite the first side. This preserves with fixed capo a defined tension band guide. This allows a simplified fixation of the capo and it can be avoided, for example, force peaks.
- the tension band has a first region and a second region, which follow one another in the longitudinal direction of the tension band, wherein the second region has a smaller width than the first region and the tension band is fixed to the second region on the fastening device. It is thereby possible to provide a strap over the second region with a large width. This allows forces on the neck of the stringed musical instrument over a larger
- the string-contacting device and the fixing device can be made relatively narrow, so that the dimensions of the capo and in particular the width can be kept low.
- the fixing device comprises at least one holding element for the clamping band with an opening through which the clamping band is performed.
- About the retaining element can be the strap on the Hold the fixing device, wherein the effective length of the clamping band is adjustable, depending on how far the strap has penetrated through the opening.
- the string conditioning device has a receiving space for the fixing device.
- the locating device can be buried to a certain extent in the receiving space. As a result, the height dimensions of the capo can be kept low.
- the string bearing device has at least one retaining hole pair for the fastening device. By means of retaining recesses on the string contact device and associated counter elements of the fixing device, these can be fixed to the string contact device.
- the retaining recesses of a pair are formed on opposite side walls, which delimit a receiving space for the fixing device.
- the capo can be realized in a simple manner.
- the fixing device on a stub shaft pair for receiving by the retaining recesses of a retaining recess pair.
- the stub shafts can be immersed in the retaining recesses. This is an easy way to introduce reached.
- the fixing device can then be pivoted relative to the string-contacting device in order to achieve a final fixation and to keep the dimensions of the capo tasto small.
- the fixing device has a receiving space for the tension band.
- the outer dimensions of the capo can be kept low.
- a defined clamping band guide and clamping band arrangement is achieved.
- the receiving space is open at least to one end face.
- the tensioning strap can be inserted over this front side. This in turn makes it possible to position the tension band largely completely in a receiving space of the string conditioning device.
- the receiving space is limited by opposing side walls.
- one or more holding elements for the clamping band are arranged between the opposite side walls. By one or more such retaining elements, the side elements can be connected.
