Definitions

  • a wide variety of sounds can be produced with electric guitars by vibrating strings which are then amplified electrically.
  • a traditional electric guitar is equipped with one or two so-called pickups, which are placed on the guitar body just below the strings, between the neck of the guitar neck, i.e. between the back end of the fingerboard and the bridge.
  • Each cartridge of a so-called pickup consists of an electrical coil made of several thousand turns of lacquered copper wire around a magnetic core, and the two ends of the coil are electrically connected to an amplifier system via an insulated cable.
  • the vibration of the string near one end of the coil induces electric currents in the coil due to the altered magnetic flux caused by the string vibration, which currents are used to generate sounds electrically by the amplifier system, which then delivers the amplified electrical signals to a loudspeaker.
  • the change in magnetic flux due to the vibrating string is very small, it is sufficient to generate a voltage of typically a few tens to a few hundred millivolts with a correspondingly high number of turns.
  • the change in field strength and thus the induced voltage is greatest when the string vibrates back and forth towards the pole instead of vibrating sideways to and fro.
  • the ferromagnetic strings must not be so strongly attracted by the magnet that their vibration is significantly affected, otherwise they will sound impure.
  • the major disadvantage of such a pick-up is its susceptibility to low-frequency magnetic fields, such as those generated by mains transformers and series reactors in fluorescent lamps. With changing magnetic fields, a voltage is induced in the coil. A voltage is therefore also induced in the pickup by these interference fields. This can easily be avoided by using two pickups instead of a single one and connecting them in series with reverse polarity, i.e. one behind the other. This causes an external magnetic field to induce a voltage in both coils, but these voltages cancel each other out due to the reversed polarity of the coils and thus at the output no voltage is emitted. The same happens with the useful signal, which is of course undesirable. But you can easily remedy this by reversing the polarity of the magnets in a coil.
  • this coil actually produces a useful signal with reversed polarity, which, however, has the correct polarity due to the reversed polarity of the coil.
  • Such pickups are called humbuckers or humbucking pickups , which are usually enclosed in a sheet metal housing. They are used, for example, in the Gibson Les Paul and produce the Gibson tonality with two pickups with double coils.
  • the US 2015/0294659 A1 proposes another solution for changing from one pickup to another by arranging several pickups on a rotatable disc, which is therefore rotatably mounted on the guitar body, with the desired pickup then being rotated under the strings and the turntable locks in this position. While this system allows tonality to be changed quickly while playing, tonality is limited to a limited number of pickups located on the turntable.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a guitar with pickups that can be replaced by hand without tools, and to create the pickup elements required for this, so that these pickups are in one large number and variety can be used easily and very quickly in the guitar, i.e. within 3 to 5 seconds, and their fit can also be tilted more or less in all directions to regulate the distance between the pickups and the strings for the high and low tones and the distance to the strings should be infinitely adjustable with a built-in pickup by a simple manipulation.
  • the electric guitar should also be equipped with a touchscreen with circuitry, with which the tones from the front and rear pickups can be mixed steplessly, or at least two pickups can be switched on and off steplessly.
  • controlling the pickups using a touchscreen allows you to quickly switch a specific pickup on or off while playing the guitar and to mix the signals from the neck and back pickups continuously by moving a finger on the touchscreen at will.
  • No electric guitar has been able to do this before, although the first electric pickups were developed as early as 1923 and the first real electric guitar came onto the market in 1936, and millions of electric guitars have been built since then.
  • the collar 41 At the end of the neck 39 is the collar 41 with the saddle 43 at the transition from the neck 39 to the collar 41 and the tuning pegs 42 are arranged on the collar.
  • the string suspension 44 is arranged in the rear area of the guitar body and the pickups, so-called pickups, are arranged below the strings 48, here a treble pickup 45, a middle position pickup 46 and a bass pickup 47. So far, these pickups can only be used with relatively be replaced with great effort and with the aid of tools. They are often replaced from the front side visible here, for which purpose the strings 48 have to be loosened, which of course requires the strings 48 to be tensioned and tuned again afterwards.
  • both pickups are immediately active again, that is to say the bridge pickup is switched on again. If, on the other hand, you press with one finger, preferably with the pad of your index finger, in the middle area on the touchscreen and with another finger, preferably with the pad of your middle finger, on the rearmost area of the screen, the neck pickup is immediately switched off and the bridge pickup is switched on at the same time. If you press the touchscreen again in this constellation, the neck pickup is switched on again. At the edge of the guitar body 3, at the lowest point when the guitar is hanging on the shoulders of a player in a playing position, one can still see the hole 59 for the output port to be used on the guitar.
  • the volume of the individual strings 22 can be adjusted by positioning the pickup of the pickup belonging to the string more or less close to the string 22 .
  • this is less convenient and often only possible using a small hammer, with which the bar magnets 49 can be moved further away from the strings 22 by gently hitting them. If the bar magnet 49 has slipped down too far, you often have to remove the pickup to get to the other side.
  • One side holder 12 has a recess 58 into which an element with the electrical contact points is also inserted, these contact points each forming a dent at the end, into which spring-loaded pins of the electrical outlets of the pickup to be used fit.
  • this framework as a be made of plastic as a single injection-molded part, that is to say the receiving frame 4 and the side holders 12 sitting directly on it in one piece, in which case the compression springs 68 for changing the position of the side holders 12 are then omitted.
  • the figure 7 shows how this pickup element is used with its fixing plate 14 in the snug fit on the receiving frame 4.
  • the fixing plate 14 is formed in bulges 56 at its four corners, which fit exactly into the cams 29 on the side brackets 12 on the receiving frame 4 .
  • the four permanent magnets 13 in the side holders 12 pull the ferromagnetic fixing plate 14 firmly towards them and thus hold them securely in place.
  • the pickup used can be tilted more or less in all directions. For example, the distance between its pickups and the strings for the low tones and the strings for the high tones can be adjusted differently.
  • the fixing plate 14 to be placed on it can also be an injection-moulded plastic part that fits exactly to the frame 4, which then fits precisely into the frame 4 between the cams 29 at the end and into this snug fit is held with permanent magnets 13.
  • the figure 8 shows a guitar body 3 with two recesses 2 for the pickups 1 and another recess 63 for receiving the electronic Circuit 64 and the batteries 65 supplying it with energy.
  • a laterally offset recess 66 serves to accommodate the operating display, a touch screen 25 to be used.
  • the screwed-on rubber wheels 57 visible along the edge of the guitar body serve as a holder for a cover to be attached.
  • the neck pickup used can be seen in the front recess 2
  • the mounting frame 4 installed therein with its side brackets 12 can be seen in the rear recess 2 .
  • a step is formed on the inner wall of the recesses 2, so that an all-round supporting surface is formed for the mounting frame 4, to which the mounting frame 4 can be glued, for example.
  • the figure 9 shows the pickup 1 by means of the thread 17 of its threaded bushing 16 with the fixing plate 14 screwed onto its height adjuster 18.
  • the coils, bobbins and pickups of the pickup 1 are housed in a chrome-plated sheet metal housing 60 and boarded up.
  • Spring-loaded pins 23 protruding from the fixing plate 14 are arranged as electrical outlets 10 from the pickup 1 on the fixing plate 14 , directed towards the pickup 1 . These pins 23 fit into the indentations 24 on the contact points 5 of the side holders 12 for securely closing electrical connections.
  • the pins 23 are wired to the coils of the associated pickups of the pickup 1 via the cable 57 .
  • the figure 12 finally shows an alternative pickup 1 with two rows of pickups 21.
  • the figure 14 shows the detail of the back 6 of the guitar body 3 with the two recesses 2 and next to the front recess the pickup 1 to be used in its upside down position with the fixing plate 14 screwed onto its height adjuster 18 and the rubber wheel 55 at the end of the height adjuster 18 for turning its brass thread and thus for adjusting the distance between the fixing plate 14 and the base plate 8 of the pickup 1.
  • the cable 57 connects the coil suspensions to the spring-loaded pins 23 on the fixing plate 14, which protrude downwards from the fixing plate 14 in the view shown.
  • FIG 15 is shown how the pickup 1 is inserted from the back 6 of the guitar body 3 into the recess 2 on the guitar body 3, although here the receiving frame 4 and the fixing plate 14 are still missing.
  • the pickup 1 takes the pickup 1 with your thumb and forefinger on its height adjuster 18 and place it in the recess 2 .
  • the fixing plate 14 is precisely positioned at the snug fit on the mounting frame 4 and firmly held in the snug fit by the permanent magnets 13 on the side brackets 12.
  • the spring-loaded pins 23 on the fixing plate 14 are automatically pressed onto the dents 24 provided for this purpose in the electrical contacts 5 on the side holder 12 and the secure electrical connection is thus established created between the coils of the pickup and the output port 7 of the electric guitar.
  • FIG 16 an alternative embodiment of the fixing plate 14 with a central threaded hole 16 is shown.
  • Permanent magnets 13 are built into this fixing plate 14 on its side.
  • the figure 17 shows this fixing plate 14 after figure 16 seen from the other side, and figure 18 shows the receiving frame 4 belonging to this fixing plate 14 with its side walls 67 projecting upwards.
  • the fixing plate 14 can be inserted between these side walls 67 and is then securely held in position by the magnetic forces of the permanent magnets 13 lying opposite one another.
  • the slot 61 on one side wall 67 of the mounting frame 4 serves to accommodate a plastic insert element which has the electrical contact points 5 for the output port of the guitar.
  • the figure 19 shows a pickup 1 with a height adjuster 18 and its adjustment thread seen from below, ie in an upside down position, lying on the heads of its pickups 21.
  • the base plate 8 can be seen on the underside of the pickup 1, while the coils, coil formers and pickups are accommodated in a housing 60.
  • the electrical outlets lead from the coils via the cable 57 to the electrical contact points 10 on the pins 23 on the fixing plate 14.
  • the figure 20 shows the pickup 1 and its housing 60 in an overturned position lying on the pickups, and with the fixing plate 14 screwed onto the brass thread of the height adjuster 18 on its rear side figure 18 , and the pins 23 with rounded heads embedded in an insert whose heads protrude slightly from the side wall of the fixing plate 14.
  • the figure 21 shows the four electrical outlets 10 from the coils of the pickup 1, which are then connected to the insulated pins 23 in this insert element.
  • figure 22 shows a section of the guitar body 3 viewed from its front 9, with the recess 2 for a pickup, with the six strings 22 running above it.
  • the same recess is shown from the back 6 of the guitar body 3 .
  • An aluminum carrier 62 leads to the stability of the guitar, in particular to the absorption of the string tension.
  • the pickup element 1 is inserted here straight from the back 6 of the guitar body 3 by being gripped by the fixing plate 14 and inserted between the two side walls 67 on the receiving frame 4 .
  • the figure 24 shows the situation when the pickup element 1 is fully inserted and the permanent magnets 13 on the fixing plate 14 are opposite those on the side walls 67 of the receiving frame 2.
