Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention relates to portable musical instruments such as component pianos and steel guitars, and in particular, the case of this instrument, the lid body, is also used as the leg body to support the instrument during performance. This relates to musical instruments designed to allow

As is generally known, musical instruments such as component pianos are smaller and more convenient to carry than stationary instruments for home use or concerts, and are particularly useful for band performances, so portability is required. .

Conventionally, when playing this type of musical instrument, a component piano, after removing a lid body (not shown), a keyboard section 2 and a variable stop and volume control panel are placed inside an external case 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. A stand 5at5b made of a metal pipe is attached to and detached from the bottom of the instrument body 4 as a leg by screwing means, for example, to the operation surface of the instrument body 4, which houses accessory devices 3 such as resistors and constitutes a musical instrument. A pair of stands 6at (ib) which are rotatably attached to the bottom of the musical instrument main body 4 (see FIG. 1) can be attached freely (see FIG. 1), and a stay 7a can be attached.

It is assembled by locking at 7b (see Figure 2).

In this case, the lid body is necessary to protect the keyboard part 2 buttons and attached device 3 arranged on the operating surface of the musical instrument body 4 from damage and dirt caused by dust during transportation or storage. Since these items are unnecessary, the storage location is cumbersome and there is a risk of them being lost.

In addition, the stand is necessary only when playing, contrary to the lid, so in the case of detachable stands 5a and 5b as shown in Fig. 1, a case is required to house them. In the case of the stands 6a and 6b attached to the bottom of the musical instrument main body 4 as shown in Fig. 2, there are inconveniences such as hindering the portable function, such as making it difficult to carry the instrument. .

This idea was created with a focus on these points.
To provide a musical instrument with a compact instrument body by dividing a lid body that protects the musical instrument body into two parts and detachably attaching the lid body to the musical instrument body, and using the lid body as a leg body of the musical instrument body. .

This invention will be explained in detail below using the drawings.

Figures 3 to 6 show an embodiment of the musical instrument according to this invention. In the figures, the same reference numerals as in Figure 1 represent the same elements, and the case where it is used as a musical instrument in a compo piano will be exemplified. .

That is, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the external appearance of the component piano during transportation or storage, and the side part of the musical instrument main body 4 is divided into two parts so as to cover the entire top surface (operating surface) of the musical instrument main body 4. A lid body 8a tab is removably attached.

The lids 8a, sb have a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 8b
has a predetermined height.

Inside the lid body 8ay8b, there are metal fittings (
(not shown) is fixed to the stay 10 when stored.
a t 10 b is located in the cavity 9 .

Note that handles 11a and 11b are provided on one side of the instrument body 4.
is fixed.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the component piano when it is set up for performance, with the two divided lids 8a and 8b shown in FIG. The lids 8a and 8b are used as legs by locking the lids 8a and 8b with screw bodies 12at12b so as to face each other at both ends, as shown in FIG.

In this case, the stays 10a and 10b are for reinforcing the lids 8a and 8b which act as legs, and both ends of the stays are screwed and locked by screws 13a and 13b.

Therefore, in such a component piano, the lids 8a and 8b, which protect the operating surface of the instrument body 4 from damage and dirt during transportation or storage, are divided into two parts and removably attached during performance. Because of this, it can also be used as a leg body, making the entire instrument compact, making it excellent for portable use.

In other words, as mentioned above, conventional component pianos required separate lids and legs, which required cases to store the lids and legs, which was an inconvenience that impeded its portability. However, according to the component piano of this invention, due to the extremely simple structure in which the removable lid body doubles as the leg body, it is possible to take care in storing the lid body, and to create a case to store the leg body. Therefore, it is possible to provide a small and lightweight musical instrument that is convenient to carry.

Furthermore, by using the stay, the lid can be reinforced when the instrument is placed, and the instrument body can be reliably supported by the lid (legs).

In the above-mentioned embodiments, the case where the present invention is used as a musical instrument is explained. However, this invention is not limited to this, and can also be applied to a generally well-known portable musical instrument such as a steel guitar. can.

As explained above, the musical instrument of this invention has a structure in which the lid that protects the instrument body doubles as the legs, making the entire instrument lighter and more compact than conventional instruments, making it suitable for portable use. It can exhibit excellent effects.
