Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a string winder which is detachably attached to a knob of a winding shaft provided on a string winding of a stringed instrument and facilitates rotation of the winding shaft.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The string winding part of the stringed instrument is provided with a knob for turning the winding shaft, but a string winder may be used because it requires a force for fine adjustment. A conventional string winder has a substantially crank shape, and has a portion fitted to the knob at one end thereof and a handle at the other end thereof. Therefore, when tuning a string, it is necessary to hold the tone whistle in your mouth and adjust the tension of the string while holding the pick (prosthesis) in your hand. However, these devices have been scattered in the past and there was a possibility that they would be lost.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above points, and the problem is to integrate a string winder, a tune whistle, etc., which have been scattered in the past, into one unit to eliminate the risk of loss. It is to make the whole compact and easy to handle.

Another object of the present invention is to be able to collect a string winder, a tone whistle and a pick, which are necessary for tuning a string, into a set.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention forms an engaging recess 21 at one end of the main body 20 that can be attached to the knob 12 of the string winding and engageable therewith, and has a required radius from the axial direction of the winding shaft 11 to the side. A handle 22 for rotating the main body 20 at a distant position is pivotally supported on the main body 20 so as to be foldable, and a tuning whistle A for tuning the stringed instrument is incorporated into the handle 22 and The means for providing the blow-out port 23 at the tip of the handle 22 is taken.

[0006]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 illustrates a string winder according to the present invention. The string winder is attached to a flat knob 12 of a winding shaft 11 provided in a string winding portion of a stringed instrument 10 to expand a turning radius to a sufficient degree. It allows the strings to be easily wound with operating force.

The body 20 of the string winder has a flat engagement recess 21 that fits with the flat knob 12, and an opening 21a thereof is opened at the lower end of the body. The engaging concave portion 21 engages with the knob 12 when they are fitted together, and when the main body 20 is rotated, the winding shaft 11 is also rotated.

A handle 22 for turning the main body 20 is provided on the upper portion of the main body. The handle 22 is arranged in a position parallel to the axial direction of the winding shaft 11 and apart from the coaxial side by a distance corresponding to the turning radius. The illustrated handle 22 has such a length that it can substantially fit in the side of the body 20, and a lever 26 attached to the lower end of the handle at a substantially right angle supports a support shaft 27 so that the handle 22 can be undulated in the center of the body 20. Has been done. Reference numeral 28 denotes a concave portion for accommodating the handle on the side of the main body, and 29 denotes a shaft on which the handle 22 is rotatably attached to the lever 26.

The handle 22 has a built-in tone whistle A that can be used to tune a stringed instrument, and its mouthpiece 23 is located at the tip of the handle 22. Reference numeral 30 is a lead that determines the pitch of the tone flute A, and 31 is an exhaust hole. Further, on the front surface of the main body 20, there is provided a pick holding portion 25 into which a pick 24 used for playing a stringed instrument is inserted. The curved opening 25a of the pick holding portion 25 faces downward, and is formed so that the lower half of the pick can be securely held in an exposed state.

Since the main body 20 is obtained by molding a synthetic resin, it is possible to manufacture a string winder by a simple operation of pivotally supporting the lever 26 on the main body 20 and attaching the handle 22 to the lever 26. it can. The stringed instrument is a Taisho koto, a guitar, a mandolin or the like having a knob 12 on the string winding portion.

In use, the handle 22 may be raised from the main body 20, stood up, the knob 12 of the string winding portion may be fitted into the engaging recess 21, and the handle 22 may be pinched with the fingertip and rotated about the winding shaft 11. A winding shaft is attached to the winding shaft 11 via a gear set 32 that cannot rotate in the reverse direction, and the tension can be increased or decreased depending on the rotating direction of the handle 22. At the time of tuning, the pick 24 is taken out from the holding part 25 and the string sound and the pitch of the tuning whistle A are compared, but since the blower opening 23 is provided at the tip of the handle 22, the pitch confirmation operation is performed. It's easy.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, by incorporating the tone whistle A in the handle 22 of the string winder, there is no risk of loss and the whole body is compact. Moreover, since the holding portion 25 of the pick 24 is provided on the main body 20, the string winder, the tune whistle A, and the pick 24 necessary for tuning can be put together in one set.
