Description

  The present invention is attached to the upper side and / or back of the resonance body of the guitar to prevent the resonance body from being scratched or discolored due to sweat and to prevent the player's body from sticking to the resonance body. Regarding the cover.

  In general, when playing a guitar, a performer performs a performance by placing his / her chest on the back of the resonance body and placing his / her arm on the upper side of the resonance body. For this reason, the area where the arm or chest of the resonance body comes into contact may cause discoloration due to sweat, and the resonance body may be damaged by the buttons of the player's clothes during performance. There is also a risk of getting stuck. Furthermore, when the body is in close contact with the resonance body, resonance is hindered, and the tone of the guitar may be impaired.

  In order to protect the resonance body from scratches and sweat, it can be seen that a towel or the like is put between the chest and the resonance body or between the arm and the resonance body. However, there is a possibility that the sandwiched towel may fall during the performance, and it may be difficult to concentrate on the performance because the towel must be played with care not to fall off. Also, playing with a towel in this way does not look good and is rarely performed on stage.

In order to protect the resonance body from scratches or sweat during performance without using such a towel, a guitar resonance body protection cover that covers the resonance body is conventionally known. As such a guitar resonance trunk protective cover, for example, a guitar resonance trunk protection cover formed of a waterproof synthetic fiber having a portion covering the upper side of the resonance trunk and a portion covering the back is patented. Patent Document 2 discloses a guitar resonance body protective cover that is disclosed in Document 1 and that is attached to the resonance body by a suction cup.

  However, since the guitar resonance trunk protective cover disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a soft material, there is a problem that it is difficult to play because it is turned over during the performance. Also, it doesn't look good.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 2 does not clearly disclose the mounting state of the guitar resonance trunk protective cover. If the guitar resonance torso protective cover is attached to the resonance torso with no gaps, the resonance torso will be prevented from resonating as if the player's body is in close contact with the resonance torso. The tone will be lost. In addition, if the clearance between the guitar resonance torso protection cover and the resonance torso is not secure, the guitar resonance torso protection cover is pushed by the chest and arms during performance and pressed against the resonance torso. There is a problem that the resonance of the trunk is hindered.

  It is an object of the present invention to be able to attach to the upper surface and / or the back surface of a guitar's resonance body part stably and without disturbing the resonance of the resonance body part, and it does not interfere with performance and looks good. It is in providing a guitar resonance trunk protective cover.

  In order to achieve the above object, the guitar resonance trunk protective cover according to the first aspect of the present invention is a guitar resonance trunk protective cover that is attached to the upper side and / or the rear side of the guitar resonance trunk and protects the portion.

And a mounting tool provided with a suction cup for attaching the protective cover main body to the resonance body is provided on the protective cover main body.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, the protective cover main body is attached to the upper side surface and the rear surface of the resonance body, which is a portion where the player's chest and arms are in contact, using the suction cup. At this time, a gap is secured between the protective cover body and the resonance body by the spacer.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the guitar resonance trunk protective cover is stably attached in a state where a gap is secured between the protective cover main body and the resonance trunk by the spacer. Thus, the gap between the protective cover main body and the resonance body can be secured by the spacer, and the guitar resonance body protection cover can prevent the body from adhering to the resonance body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tone of the guitar from being damaged without disturbing the resonance of the resonance body. Also, even when the performer's chest or arm is pressed against the protective cover body during performance, the gap between the resonance body and the body is always secured by the spacer, and the protective cover body is not pressed against the resonance body. The timbre will not be impaired.

  Furthermore, since the gap between the protective cover body and the resonance body can be secured by the spacer in this way, even if an impact is transmitted to the protection cover body, this impact is not transmitted to the resonance body, but the resonance body. The part can be protected from impact.

  Moreover, the protective cover body is made of a hard thin plate and does not turn over during performance, so it is easy to play and looks good.
