Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of plectrums, or "picks", for stringed musical instruments, and more particularly a pick for guitars and other stringed musical instruments that can be easily detached from a card, sheet, strip and the like.
  • picks consist of small generally flat pieces of material that are usually (but not always) flexible.
  • Picks come in many sizes and are made of many kinds of materials including plastics (e.g. PNC, acetal polyoxymethylene (POM) resins (i.e. Delrin®), Nylon, etc), shell, metal, stone, paper, composite materials and other materials.
  • Picks are manufactured to have a variety of thicknesses and stiffnesses, depending on a user's preferences. Picks are often shaped to have one or more rounded points, and can have a generally ogive shape at one or more ends. Picks come in numerous colors and can have graphics appearing thereon, Indeed, picks are collected by musicians and non-musicians alike. Picks are often displayed at music stores in bulk in plastic bags, in open containers, displayed on paper displays, and the like. Although picks can last a long time, they are frequently lost or misplaced, and users may wish to use different picks for different songs, instruments and conditions.
  • a musician can improvise and use another object, such as a coin as a pick if required. It would be useful for musicians to have a convenient way to carry extra picks so that they are available anytime and any place. It would also be useful to provide a readily accessible supply of picks to musicians during performances that can easily be talcen when needed, yet will not be misplaced or lost.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un médiator pour instrument musical à corde détachable (10, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100). Une feuille de matériau (14, 34, 44, 54, 64, 74, 82, 102, 124) possède une pluralité de médiators pour instrument musical (12, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 106, 128) formés par une ligne de découpe (18, 24, 38, 48, 58, 112) autour du périmètre de ces médiators. Ces médiators sont retenus de manière détachable sur la feuille de matériau par au moins un ajustement entre les médiators (106), la feuille de matériau (102) et la bande non découpée (16, 36, 46, 56, 66, 76, 114) joignant les accessoires à la feuille de matériau (14, 34, 44, 54, 64, 74, 82, 102, 124). Un médiator peut être détaché du corps de la carte par découpe de la bande de façon à retirer un médiator lorsqu'on le souhaite et/ou par interruption de l'ajustement de façon à révéler une ouverture en forme de médiator et, ce médiator peut-être replacer dans l'ouverture en vue d'un stockage. La feuille de matériau peut être dimensionnée de façon à pouvoir être portée dans un sac à main ou dans une sacoche ou accrochée à un support de microphone ou un élément similaire afin d'être facilement accessible.
