Abstract

PURPOSE: To easily access a fret positioned at the base end of the neck by composing the assembly of a thin coupling flange which extends from the neck base end and a recessed part which is formed in the upper part of the main body and receives the coupling flange to form a coupling part that is substantially as thick as the neck base end part. CONSTITUTION: The base end 30 of the neck 12 is provided with the coupling flange 32 which extends downward from the base end 30. The coupling flange 32 forms the extension part of the rear 24 of the neck and extends beyond the lower end of a front surface 20. Consequently, a recessed part 34 which faces forward is formed at the lower part of the base end 30. At the upper end 36 of the main body 14, the recessed part 38 which faces backward is formed and receive the coupling flange 32. Thus, the recessed part 38 is formed to reduce the thickness of the main body upper end 40, and consequently the coupling flange 32 is fitted in the recessed part 38, the total thickness of the main body upper end 40 and coupling flange 32 is substantially equal to the thickness of the neck base end 30. Consequently, access to the fret 22 is made easy.

ではないにしても困難である。Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention In conventional electric guitars, the proximal end of the neck is fixed to the front of the guitar body. However, in a guitar with such a configuration, the presence of the guitar body behind the neck makes it difficult, if not impossible, for the player to place his fingers on the frets formed at the base end of the neck.

また、ネックが本体前部に位置しているため弦により生
じる張力によりネックが本体から離される傾向がある。Additionally, since the neck is located at the front of the main body, the tension generated by the strings tends to cause the neck to separate from the main body.

じる。In electric guitars that use a cavity that houses a tremolo generating spring, the tremolo generating spring pawl assembly is secured to a plurality of fixtures embedded within the instrument body. If these fixtures are provided near the center of the main body, a problem arises in that some of the vibrational energy of the strings is attenuated in the dead zone within the main body.

を形成する凹部とよりなる。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In summary, the present invention provides a device for joining a neck and a body in a stringed musical instrument comprising a neck and a body. The device has a thin coupling flange extending from the proximal end of the neck, and a coupling flange formed on the upper portion of the body to receive the coupling flange to form a coupling portion having a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the proximal neck. It consists of a concave part.

本発明による弦楽器のネックと本体とを結合するための
組立体は、基端部から薄い結合フランジが延在する細長
いネックを有する。An assembly for joining the neck and body of a stringed instrument according to the invention has an elongated neck with a thin joining flange extending from the proximal end.

実施例 以下、本発明の最も好ましい実施例を図面を参照しなが
ら説明する。EXAMPLES Below, the most preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

第１図に示すように、電気ギター１０は本体１４に固定
されたネック１２を有する。As shown in FIG. 1, electric guitar 10 has a neck 12 secured to a body 14. As shown in FIG.

ネック１２は外端部１６に弦（図示せず）の張力を調節

うに形状を整えられた後面２４とが形成される。The neck 12 is provided at its outer end 16 with an adjustment screw 18 that is rotated to adjust the tension in the strings (not shown). Furthermore, the neck 12 is formed with a front surface 20 on which a plurality of frets 22 are formed and strings are stretched along the frets, and a rear surface 24 shaped so that a player's hands can be placed thereon.

合部の厚さが厚（なると演奏者はネック１２の基端部に
位置するフレット２２に指を当てることが非常に困難に
なる。As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the conventional guitar, the neck 12 is connected to the front of the body 14 by a cover plate 28 and a plurality of screws 26 extending through the body 14 and into the neck 12. As shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 3, the conventional method of joining the neck 12 to the main body 14 has a problem in that the thickness of the joint becomes thick. As described above, if the thickness of the musical instrument is particularly large, especially at the joints, it becomes very difficult for the player to place his fingers on the frets 22 located at the proximal end of the neck 12.

が形成されこの中に結合フランジ３２が受入れられる。In the present invention, the proximal end 30 of the neck 12 is provided with a coupling flange 32 extending downwardly from the proximal end 30. This joining flange 32 forms an extension of the rear face 24 of the neck and extends beyond the lower end of the front face 20. As a result, the proximal end 30
A forwardly facing recess 34 is formed in the lower part of the holder. In the figure, the coupling flange 32 is shown as being formed integrally with the neck 12 from the same material, but it is of course possible to form the flange 32 separately and from a different material. The upper end 36 of the main body 14 has a recess 38 facing rearward.
is formed into which the coupling flange 32 is received.

ネック基端部３０の厚さと実質的に同じである。その結
果、フレット２２のアクセスが容易になる。By forming the recess 38, the thickness of the upper end 40 of the main body becomes thinner, so that even if the connecting flange 32 is installed in the recess 38, the overall thickness of the upper end 40 of the main body and the connecting flange 32 is smaller than that of the neck proximal end 30. The thickness is substantially the same as that of As a result, access to the frets 22 becomes easier.

できる。Referring to FIG. 5, the connecting flange 32 is connected to the upper end 4
a pair of wood screws 42 that pass through the coupling flange 32 and reach the upper end 40 of the main body; and a steel plate that passes through the coupling flange 32 and the upper end 40 of the main body and is fixed onto the surface of the upper end 40 of the main body by screws 47. 46 and a pair of machine screws 44 fixed thereto. By using this method of fixing the fixing device through the neck and into the body, the strength of the joint is much greater than with the conventional method of simply passing the screw through the body and fixing it to the neck. Can be done.

る。4 and 5 show an electric guitar 10 provided with a cavity 48 having a tremo spring block assembly 50 disposed therein.
Illustrated. This cavity 48 is normally closed by a plate 49. The tremolo block assembly 50 is operatively coupled to a string bridge provided on the front surface of the main body 14, and by moving the tremolo block assembly 50, the string bridge (
(not shown) moves to change the pitch of the instrument. Movement of tremolo block assembly 50 is caused by manipulation of a handle (not shown), and the amount of force required to move assembly 50 is determined by the tension in spring 52. In conventional guitars, a pair of adjustment screws are coupled to a bracket 54 having a spring 52, the threaded ends of which are recessed into the body 14. By rotating this screw, the bracket 54 moves and as a result the tension of the spring 53 changes.

ーンで減衰してしまう。In the present invention, bracket 54 is secured to the base of coupling flange 32 by a pair of threaded fasteners 56. Therefore, vibrational energy transferred from the string to the block assembly 50 is transferred via the coupling flange 32 to the neck 12 and back to the string. In contrast, with conventional tremolo spring pawl assembly coupling methods, vibration energy is attenuated in dead zones within the body.
