Description

The present invention relates to an effector fixing device, and more particularly to an effector fixing device including a board for fixing an effector for acoustics and a support member.

An effector for sound is a device for improving a sound effect by variously changing the electric signal of a sound generated by an electric instrument such as an electric guitar before reaching an output device. The effector includes a volume pedal that can adjust the volume, a tuner that sends an audio signal to other devices, a pre-amp (booster) that electrically amplifies the audio signal, an equalizer that emphasizes or attenuates a specific frequency, and the original sound. There are a wide variety of devices depending on the application and function, such as an enhancer that distorts and creates overtones and mixes them with the actual sound, and a wah pedal that changes the frequency band that is amplified by operating with your foot. The swords are not unified and each has a different size.

The types of these effectors required differ depending on the performer, and the performer fixes a plurality of the effectors he / she needs on a flat plate material called a board in a desired arrangement, and attaches each effector to each other. It is generally used by connecting with wiring. With multiple effectors placed and fixed on this board, it can be stored and carried in the trunk case as it is, and at the performance venue, it can be taken out of the trunk case and placed on the floor for use as it is. Therefore, it contributes to portability and also contributes to the ease of wiring and connection at the performance venue.

By the way, as for the fixing mode between the effector and the board, it is customary to use a hook-and-loop fastener or double-sided tape. However, in the case of the fixing mode using the hook-and-loop fastener, it is necessary to attach the male side and the female side of the hook-and-loop fastener to the effector and the board, respectively, and the fixing force with time decreases due to the deterioration of the hook-and-loop fastener. There is a possibility that the effector may be peeled off from the board during transportation, and further, since the arrangement of the effector is determined in advance, there is a problem that it is difficult to rearrange, replace, or add the effector. Further, in the case of the fixing mode using the double-sided tape, the effector is peeled off due to the deterioration of the adhesive force of the double-sided tape over time, and the adhesive material remains when the effector is peeled off if necessary. There was a problem that it was difficult to deal with replacements and additions.

In order to solve such a problem, technical proposals such as Japanese Patent No. 4922475 (Patent Document 1), Japanese Patent No. 6273295 (Patent Document 2), and Jitsukaisho 56-92515 (Patent Document 3) have been proposed. It has been done.

The technical proposal according to Patent Document 1 is a fixture capable of varying the mounting height of an effector on a board, for fixing one effector, and wiring is provided in an empty space below the fixture. It is a technical proposal to prevent the wiring from interfering with the switching operation operated at the tip of the leg by accommodating it.
That is, it is a fixture for fixing one effector, and is a technical proposal for arranging and fixing the effector on the board via the fixture, for fixing a plurality of effectors on the board. It is not a proposal, and since attaching a fixture to each effector makes the effector itself bulky, it is not suitable for efficiently arranging multiple effectors in a limited space. Met.

Further, the technical proposal according to Patent Document 2 is a pedal board support in which a plurality of longitudinal sections are arranged in parallel and both ends are connected by end pieces, and the longitudinal sections are for accommodating mounting means. A structure is provided in which a longitudinal groove in which a channel is formed is provided, a pedal mounted on the longitudinal section is sandwiched by an L-shaped support, and the support is fixed to the longitudinal groove by a screw connection portion. Is.
That is, a plurality of longitudinal sections and end pieces are assembled to form one board, and the assembly work is complicated, and the structure in which channels are formed in each longitudinal groove is complicated. In addition, the effector is fixed only on the left and right side surfaces by the support, and the structure cannot be fixed from the vertical direction. As a result, it is difficult to securely fix the effector.

Further, the technical proposal according to Patent Document 3 is a technical proposal in which a plurality of effectors are fixed to a support plate made of one plywood, and the effectors are directly fixed to the support plate by adhesion or the like.
That is, since the effector is directly adhered to the support plate, the effector may be easily peeled off due to deterioration of the adhesive force over time, and it is difficult to rearrange, replace, or add the effector. Therefore, it was not practical.

The applicant pays attention to the board for arranging and fixing the effector, and the degree of freedom of the arrangement layout of the effector is based on the idea that the effector can be easily rearranged, replaced, or added while being surely fixed. We have developed an effector fixing device that can be securely fixed and can be easily rearranged, replaced, and added as needed, leading to the proposal of the "effector fixing device" according to the present invention. ..

In the effector fixing device 1 according to the present invention, in a state where the effector E is placed on the surface of the board 10, a plurality of support members 20 are arranged so that the contact surface 22 abuts on the side surface of the effector E, and screws are provided. The biggest feature is that the effector E is fixed to the board 10 by inserting the body 25 into the slit groove hole 23 of each support member 20 and screwing it into the screw hole 12 of the board 10.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the effector fixing device 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The effector fixing device 1 according to the present invention is not particularly limited to the embodiments described below, and is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, that is, a device capable of exhibiting the same action and effect, and a material of the device. Alternatively, the shape and the like can be changed as appropriate.

1 and 2 are explanatory views showing an embodiment of the effector fixing device 1 according to the present invention.
The effector fixing device 1 according to the present invention is for fixing the effector E for sound, and is a board 10 on which the effector E is placed and a plurality of supports detachably arranged on the board 10. It is composed of a member 20 and.

The board 10 is a flat plate-shaped rectangular plate having a required length, width, and height, and the material thereof is not particularly limited, and is formed of metal, resin, wood, paper, or the like. The size of the board 10 is a size that can be stored in the trunk case, and the allowable range of the board size changes depending on the size of the trunk case. Therefore, the size is not particularly limited, but for example, the length (vertical width). ) Is 20 to 40 cm, the width (width) is 40 to 80 cm, and the height (thickness) is about 0.3 to 1.5 cm.

The surface of the board 10 is perforated with a plurality of screw holes 12 over the entire surface. The screw holes 12 are drilled through from the front surface to the back surface of the board 10. A female screw is cut in the screw hole 12, and it is possible to screw the male screw into the threaded portion 25a of the screw body 25 described later. The number of screw holes 12 is not particularly limited, but many screw holes 12 are perforated over the entire surface of the board 10. Regarding the arrangement of the screw holes 12, it does not matter whether they are regular or irregular, but from the viewpoint of convenience in manufacturing and use, it is preferable that the screw holes 12 are arranged vertically and horizontally regularly. In the drawing, a case where a total of 398 screw holes 12 are drilled in 14 rows vertically, 26 rows horizontally, and other peripheral edges is illustrated. The perforation interval of the screw holes 12 is determined in consideration of the length of the slit groove holes 23 provided in the frame body 21 of the support member 20 described later, and is, for example, 1.5 to 2.5 cm. It is perforated at intervals.

Legs 14 are attached to predetermined positions on the back surface of the board 10. The mounting location and number of the legs 14 are not particularly limited, but it is conceivable that the legs 14 are mounted at at least four corners, and further, a substantially central portion in the length direction and the width direction at the peripheral edge of the board 10 and the like. It is also possible to consider a mode in which the surface is mounted at a substantially central location. The height of the leg portion 14 is also not particularly limited, but if it is too high, it may interfere with the operation with the foot when using the effector E, so the height is set to, for example, about 1 to 2 cm.

The leg portion 14 is attached by being screwed to the board 10. At that time, in addition to a mode in which a screw hole 12 dedicated to the leg portion is drilled in the board 10, the screw hole 12 already drilled is used. Can be installed. That is, as shown in FIG. 2B, a screw receiver 14a with a female thread is provided at the center of the leg portion 14, and the tip of the screw body 25 penetrating the screw hole 12 of the board 10 is referred to as the screw receiver 14a. By screwing, the leg portion 14 can be attached to the back surface of the board 10. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2C, a threaded portion 14b with a male thread is provided at the center of the leg portion 14, and the threaded portion 14b is screwed into the screw hole 12 from the back surface side of the board 10. It is also possible to attach the leg portion 14 to the back surface of the board 10.

By mounting the legs 14 on the back surface of the board 10 in this way, a space is created below the board 10. In such a space, it is possible to converge the wiring and the like connected to the effector E and the like together with the screw hole 12 drilled in the board 10, and the screw portion 25a of the screw body 25 described later is screwed. When the tip protrudes downward through the hole 12, it also functions as a relief space for the protruding tip portion.

Since the legs 14 are attached to the back surface of the board 10 by screwing, the height of each leg 14 can be adjusted by adjusting the degree of screwing. Specifically, the legs By loosening the screwing condition of the portion 14, the position of the leg portion 14 can be raised. Alternatively, the height can be adjusted by arranging a spacer such as a washer between the leg portion 14 and the board 10. Since the height of each leg portion 14 can be adjusted in this way, it is possible to eliminate rattling when placed on the floor surface and evenly support the board 10 with all the leg portions 14.

It is desirable that the anti-slip means 16 is provided on the contact surface of the leg portion 14 with the floor surface. The details of the anti-slip means 16 are not particularly limited, and it is sufficient to adopt an existing technique, but for example, an embodiment in which an anti-slip material such as rubber is attached to the end face of the leg portion 14 can be considered. By providing the anti-slip means 16, it is possible to prevent the board 10 from shifting even when a force is applied by the operation when using the effector E, which contributes to the improvement of the operability.

As shown in the figure, it is conceivable to equip at least one end side of the surface of the board 10 with a support frame 17 for preventing slipping. The support frame 17 serves as a reference for arranging the effectors E mounted on the board 10. First, some effectors E are arranged according to the support frame 17, and other effectors are sequentially arranged in the remaining space. By arranging E, it is possible to efficiently determine the arrangement of effector E. The support frame 17 also functions to prevent the effector E from slipping off. The support frame 17 is equipped by being screwed to the board 10. At that time, in addition to a mode in which a screw hole 12 dedicated to the support frame is drilled in the board 10, the screw hole 12 already drilled is formed. It can be used and installed.

Further, as shown in the drawing, it is conceivable that a handle 18 is provided at a predetermined position on the surface of the board 10. The handle 18 serves as a handle when the board 10 is taken out from the trunk case or moved, and is provided on each of the opposite side ends of the board 10. The handle 18 also functions to prevent the effector E from slipping off. The handle 18 is equipped by being screwed to the board 10. At that time, in addition to a mode in which a screw hole 12 dedicated to the handle is drilled in the board 10, the screw hole 12 already drilled is used. Can be attached.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the support member 20 is composed of a frame body 21 and a screw body 25.
The frame body 21 is formed with an abutting surface 22 having a required height and width to abut with the effector E, and also having a slit groove hole 23 penetrating the required length in the direction perpendicular to the contact surface 22. For example, the total length is 3 cm, the height of the contact surface 22 is 1 cm, the width is 1.5 cm, and the length of the slit groove 23 is about 2 cm. The slit groove hole 23 is such that the screw portion 25a in the screw body 25 described later can be inserted and the head portion 25b in the screw body 25 is locked without being inserted, that is, the width of the slit groove hole 23 is , It is set to be equal to or larger than the diameter width of the screw portion 25a and less than the diameter width of the head portion 25b.

As shown in the figure, it is preferable that the elastic body 24 is mounted on the contact surface 22 of the frame body 21. The details of the elastic body 24 are not particularly limited, and it is sufficient to adopt the existing technique, but for example, an embodiment in which the elastic body 24 such as rubber or foam is attached to the contact surface 22 can be considered. The elastic body 24 serves as a cushion when the effector E is fixed by the support member 20 (frame body 21), and the more the fixing is strengthened, the stronger the effector E is sandwiched by the support member 20. However, the presence of the elastic body 24 on the contact surface 22 relaxes the pressure, prevents the side surface of the effector E from being depressed or deformed, and the repulsive action of the elastic body 24 ensures that the elastic body 24 is inserted. Allows for firm fixation.

The screw body 25 is composed of a threaded portion 25a with a male thread and a head portion 25b for rotating the threaded portion 25a, and it is sufficient to adopt an existing one. The diameter width of the screw portion 25a and the head portion 25b is not particularly limited, but at least the diameter of the head portion 25b is larger than that of the screw portion 25a. The length of the screw portion 25a is also not particularly limited, but has at least a length that can be screwed into the screw hole 12 of the board 10 via the support member 20, and penetrates the screw hole 12 to the floor. The length must be such that it does not hit the surface, and it is determined in consideration of the presence or absence of the leg portion 14.

The effector fixing device 1 according to the present invention is configured by each of the above components. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a usage mode of the effector fixing device 1 according to the present invention, and the effector fixing device 1 is used by fixing a plurality of acoustic effectors E in a desired arrangement of a performer. Specifically, it is used in the following manner.

First, a plurality of effectors E are placed on the surface of the board 10. At this time, in consideration of the order of arrangement in the wiring connection and effective utilization of the limited space, the positions are appropriately exchanged, and finally the arrangement of each effector E is determined in the manner desired by the performer.

Once the arrangement of each effector E is determined, the support member 20 is used to fix the effector E at that position. Specifically, the frame body 21 is arranged with the contact surface 22 in contact with the side surface of the effector E. At this time, 1 to 3 frame bodies 21 are used for one side surface of the effector E, and approximately 4 to 10 frame bodies 21 are used for all four side surfaces of the effector E. That is, for one effector E, the frame body 21 is brought into contact with each side surface existing in the effector E from all directions such as up, down, left, and right. When arranging the frame body 21, the slit groove holes 23 of the frame body 21 and the screw holes 12 drilled in the board 10 are arranged so as to be positionedly overlapped with each other. In addition, the side surface of the effector E may be provided with wiring, a socket for wiring connection, an ON / OFF switch, etc., but if they do not overlap with the frame 21, the frame is as it is. When the body 21 can be arranged or overlaps, the frame body 21 is arranged so as to avoid them.

With the frame body 21 arranged, the screw portion 25a of the screw body 25 is inserted into the slit groove hole 23, and the screw hole 12 and the screw portion 25a of the board 10 are screwed together. At this time, tightening is performed by the screw body 25 while finely adjusting the position of the frame body 21 as necessary. As a result, the frame body 21 is fixed by the screw body 25, and the effector E is fixed to the board 10 by tightening all the arranged frame bodies 21 by the screw body 25.

As shown in the figure, in addition to the effector E for sound, related devices such as an outlet tap C to which the outlet of the effector E can be connected can be arranged and fixed on the board 10. Similarly, it can be fixed by the support member 20.

According to the effector fixing device 1 according to the present invention configured as described above, the effector E can be reliably fixed by the support member 20 regardless of the position and orientation of the effector E on the board 10. In addition, the work for rearranging, replacing, and adding the effector E can be easily performed as needed, and the fixing position of the effector E can be finely adjusted, the fixing strength, and the fixing angle can be easily adjusted. Is possible, and the degree of freedom in the layout of the effector E is improved.

The present invention is not limited to fixing devices for acoustic effectors, and can be used in a wide variety of other fields as long as various devices are arranged and fixed on a flat plate material. As described in "Effects", its convenience and utility value are enormous. Therefore, it is considered that the industrial applicability of the "effector fixing device" according to the present invention is extremely large.
