Description
APOYADERA AMPLIFICADORA PARA GUITARRA E INSTRUMENTOS DE CUERDA AMPLIFIER SUPPORT FOR GUITAR AND ROPE INSTRUMENTS
DESCRIPCION Sector de la técnica DESCRIPTION Technical sector
La invención se encuadra en el sector técnico de accesorios que se acoplan a la guitarra o cualquier tipo de instrumentos musicales de cuerda para una mejor colocación en relación al cuerpo del instrumentista y/o amplificar el sonido natural de los instrumentos de cuerda cuando estos instrumentos poseen una caja de resonancia. The invention falls within the technical sector of accessories that are attached to the guitar or any type of string musical instruments for a better placement in relation to the body of the instrumentalist and / or amplify the natural sound of the string instruments when these instruments have a soundboard
Estado de la técnica State of the art
En la actualidad existen en el mercado accesorios que se acoplan a la guitarra o a otros instrumentos de cuerda con el fin de mejorar la colocación del instrumento en relación al ejecutante de dicho instrumento. En el caso de la guitarra estos accesorios se suelen colocar en la parte inferior de la guitarra, sirviendo para elevarla sobre la pierna en la que el instrumento descansa y así poder levantarla lo suficiente para que no se tenga que encoger la espalada a la hora de tocar el instrumento. Currently there are accessories on the market that are attached to the guitar or other stringed instruments in order to improve the placement of the instrument in relation to the performer of said instrument. In the case of the guitar, these accessories are usually placed at the bottom of the guitar, serving to raise it on the leg on which the instrument rests and thus be able to lift it enough so that the sword does not have to be shrunk at the time of play the instrument
Sin embargo, en el caso de la guitarra, la longitud del brazo derecho plantea el problema de que no puede descansar sobre el instrumento, habría que encogerlo o colocarlo casi en paralelo al instrumento, y esto daría lugar a una posición incómoda. Es por esto, que es el antebrazo el que descansa sobre la guitarra en la mayoría de los guitarristas, lo que da lugar a que los flexores del antebrazo se vean presionados contra la guitarra y a la larga se puedan producir problemas como las tan habituales, por desgracia, tendinitis entre los guitarristas. However, in the case of the guitar, the length of the right arm poses the problem that it cannot rest on the instrument, it should be shrunk or placed almost parallel to the instrument, and this would result in an awkward position. That is why, it is the forearm that rests on the guitar in most guitarists, which results in the forearm flexors being pressed against the guitar and in the long run problems like the usual ones can occur, for Unfortunately, tendonitis among guitarists.
Era necesario un aparato sobre el que descansara el brazo, y no el antebrazo, para una correcta posición del brazo derecho en relación a la guitarra. Un aparato que cubriera el espacio que dista entre el brazo y el instrumento y sobre el que el brazo descansara firmemente, además de ser uno de los puntos de apoyo que sujetan la guitarra al cuerpo del instrumentista. Es este invento el que levanta lo suficiente el brazo derecho sobre la guitarra como para que sea brazo y no antebrazo el que apoye sobre la guitarra.
Por otro lado la guitarra, a diferencia de otros instrumentos de cuerda, tiene un volumen sonoro pequeño. Se han ideado diversas formas de construcción para elevar el volumen sonoro del instrumento así como dispositivos interiores al instrumento buscando este fin. Sin embargo los dispositivos externos con tal fin son inexistentes. Este invento, hace de también de caja de resonancia y amplifica el volumen del instrumento, pudiéndose acoplar a cualquier instrumento ya construido pues es un accesorio externo. An apparatus was needed on which the arm rested, and not the forearm, for a correct position of the right arm in relation to the guitar. An apparatus that covers the space between the arm and the instrument and on which the arm rests firmly, in addition to being one of the support points that hold the guitar to the body of the instrumentalist. It is this invention that raises enough the right arm on the guitar so that it is arm and not forearm that rests on the guitar. On the other hand the guitar, unlike other stringed instruments, has a small sound volume. Various forms of construction have been devised to raise the sound volume of the instrument as well as devices inside the instrument seeking this purpose. However, external devices for this purpose are non-existent. This invention also acts as a sounding board and amplifies the volume of the instrument, being able to be attached to any instrument already built as it is an external accessory.
Este invento se puede aplicar al resto de instrumentos de cuerda con caja de resonancia y ampliar su volumen sonoro aplicándolo como una caja de resonancia anexa. This invention can be applied to the rest of the string instruments with a sound box and expand its sound volume by applying it as an attached sound box.
