1 is an exploded view of an embodiment of a picking device for stringed musical instruments according to the present invention. The pick of this device is an instrument for playing a stringed instrument, and at the same time constitutes a case for incorporating a lighting mechanism, and mainly contains a battery B.
And a cover piece 17 for covering it, as a whole,
It has a flat shape that can be pinched with your fingertips.

The body 10 has a claw 11 for playing at one end, and has a size similar to that of a certain type of conventional guitar pick. An accommodating portion 12 for accommodating the battery 13 is formed on the inner surface side of the main body 10, and one knob surface 13 that can be pressed with a finger is formed on the outer surface side. 1
Reference numerals 9 and 19 ′ are stepped recesses for fitting formed on the outside of the accommodating portion 12, and are fitted with the fitting protrusions of the cover piece 17. Such a main body 10 can be formed by injection molding means using an insulating synthetic resin as a material.

The one knob surface 13 provided on the outer surface of the main body 10 is recessed in the shape of a concave lens in the embodiment, but it is provided for facilitating the support of the pick by a finger, and the cover piece 17 is provided. It is not one that expects elastic deformation such as. Reference numeral 20 denotes a mounting portion of the light source body 14, one end of which communicates with the housing portion 12, and the other end of which is open to the outside of the main body.

As the battery B, a so-called button battery having a flat and circular shape that can be housed in the accommodating portion 12 can be used. The light source body 14 is a microminiature light emitting element that emits colored or colorless light by electric power, and for example, a light emitting diode or an LED can be used. The illustrated light source body 14 uses an LED, and one of the two lead wires 14a and 14b thereof is fixed to one pole of the battery B (a positive electrode in the illustrated example) by soldering. However, it goes without saying that the electrode pieces may be used instead of being directly soldered to the battery.

The other lead wire 14b extends in the direction of the other electrode of the battery (negative electrode in the illustrated example), but partially covers the other electrode so as not to always contact the other electrode. Insulating flakes 15 are interposed between them. This thin piece 15 has a lead wire 14b arranged on the battery B
It is adhered to the polar surface of the battery B so as not to short-circuit with the other electrode. Insulating adhesive tapes can be used as the thin piece 15. Alternatively, an insulating paint or the like may be applied.

A switch piece 16 for electrically connecting the other lead wire 14b and the other electrode of the battery which is not covered with the thin piece 15 is interposed so as to be able to contact them at the same time. The illustrated switch piece 16 is made of a thin metal piece and is provided on the inner surface of the cover piece 17 described above. In the illustrated example, the switch piece 16 is adhered to the inner surface of the cover piece 17 and is separated from the other polar surface of the battery B when not in operation.
When the outer knob surface 18 is pressed to elastically deform, the other lead wire 14b is electrically connected to the other pole. The switch piece 16 and the other lead wire 14b may always be in contact with each other.

As a first example of the electrical connection between the lead wire and the battery, the contact piece 26 that substitutes for the switch piece 16 is formed by pressurizing the tip of the lead wire 14b to plastically deform it. Show what you did (Fig. 5). Similarly, one lead wire 1
If the tip of 4a is also plastically processed to form another contact piece 25, this can be arranged between one electrode (positive electrode) of the battery and the inner wall of the housing portion 12. This eliminates the need for work such as soldering the lead wire 14a to the battery, and also eliminates the need to separately prepare the switch piece 16.

As a second example of the conductive structure, the light source unit 1
One of the lead wires 14b extending from No. 4 is an insulating thin piece 15
Extend to the other pole of battery B over the gap and kink at the tip
Bending contact 27 that is brought closer to the other pole of battery B
Can be formed ( see FIG. 7). Other lead wire 1
4a is connected to one pole of the battery, and the light source body 14 is
It is fitted and fixed to the mounting portion 20 which is fitted tightly.

The cover piece 17 constitutes the pick together with the main body 10, but may have the same shape as the main body except that it does not have a portion for forming the claw 11 in its plan view. Cover piece 17
The inner surface of is a convex portion 21 that surrounds the portion where the switch piece 16 is provided. Reference numeral 21 'is also a convex portion for fitting, which fits with the concave portion 19' on the claw side. The main body 10 and the cover piece 17 are integrated by heating and crimping these fitting portions, and can be used as a pick according to the present invention. This heating can also eliminate moisture inside.

On the outer surface of the copper piece 17, another knob surface 18 for picking the pick with a fingertip is formed in a concave lens shape. The concave tab surface 18 is provided to help the cover piece 17 elastically deform by the pressing force of the string and to contact the switch piece 16 with the other pole of the battery. The piece 17 is easily deformed. Two
2 is a cover side mounting portion for disposing the light source body 14,
Reference numeral 23 is an insulating sheet or spacer interposed between the main body 10 or the cover piece 17 and the electric system, and 24 and 24 'are through holes, through which a cord or the like can be passed.

In the pick device according to the present invention having the above-described structure, when the player presses the string of the string instrument with a strong pressing force, the cover piece 17 is pressed by the pressing force.
Is bent, the switch piece 16 brings the lead wire 14b and the other pole of the battery B into conduction, and the light source body 14 emits light.

[0018]

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the light source 14 emits light in response to the player's striking the strings with the pick during playing, an illumination effect that directly expresses the playing action is exerted and the pick is picked up. With the addition of new functions, the performance will be more gorgeous and the added value will be increased.
