Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a string cleaner for stringed instruments.

Traditionally, to clean the strings of a stringed instrument that were soiled by finger rings or sweat, people would pick up ordinary cloth, insert the strings between the cloths, and rub the strings.

However, when cleaning with this method, there are inconveniences such as cloth lint getting wrapped around the strings and strings that are soiled by finger rings or sweat cannot be completely cleaned.

Therefore, the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned disadvantages and easily and reliably removes rings and rust that adhere to the strings of stringed instruments such as electric guitars, gut guitars, violins, etc., thereby keeping the strings as new and accurate. The purpose is to maintain the sound of the strings.

The one shown is a vinyl synthetic resin film 1 (10mm
x 20 mm x 2 mm) and felt 2 (10
mm x 20mm x 2mm) and felt 2
After spraying liquefied petroleum gas as a cleaning agent 4, the small piece 3, that is, the string cleaner, is placed in a bag-shaped polyethylene container 5 and sealed to maintain airtightness so that the gas does not evaporate.

To use this string cleaner 3, first tear open the polyethylene container 5 and take out the small piece 3, then place the string cleaner 3 with your fingers 6, with the felt 2 inside, as shown in Figure 2.
Fold it in half.

Place the string 7 between the folded cleaner 3 and rub it in the direction of the arrow in Figure 3 while lifting the string 7.

At this time, since the vinyl synthetic resin film 1 is on the outside, the cleaning agent 4 does not get on the fingers 6, and it is easy to use because it is elastic.

By lifting the string 7 and changing the angle at which the cleaner 3 rubs it, the entire string 7 can be cleaned.

The dirt on the strings 7 is more than just the appearance, and even if the strings are parts, if you clean them with the cleaner 3 after playing for 1 to 2 hours, the cleaner 3 will turn black.

The cleaner 3 that has turned black is disposable and should be discarded after use.

As described above, according to the present invention, the felt 2 part of the small piece 3 made by bonding the synthetic resin film 1 and the felt 2 is impregnated with the cleaning agent 4 for the strings 7, and the small piece 3 is sealed in the airtight felt container 5. Therefore, it is easy to use, and the ring, rust, etc. adhering to the strings 7 can be easily and surely removed by the cleaning agent 4 impregnated into the felt 2, and the strings 7 can always be kept as new.

Also, unlike when cleaning the strings 7 with an ordinary cloth, thread waste does not get caught up in the strings 7.

Furthermore, since the materials are a synthetic resin film 1 such as a vinyl-based synthetic resin film and felt 2, it can be provided at low cost.
