Definitions

  • the invention relates to an instrument case for string instruments.
  • An instrument case for accommodating a stringed instrument, with at least one housing, with at least one receiving area delimited by the housing for accommodating an instrument and with at least one neck support module which comprises a neck support unit for supporting an instrument neck, has already been proposed.
  • an instrument case for accommodating a stringed instrument is already known, with a housing, with a receiving area delimited by the housing for accommodating an instrument and with at least one neck support module which comprises a neck support unit for supporting an instrument neck.
  • the bearing unit is designed as a linear bearing unit.
  • a “linear bearing unit” should preferably be understood as a bearing unit that is intended to move an element, such as in particular the neck support unit, between at least two positions linearly, in particular along a bearing axis.
  • a linear bearing unit has at least one stationary bearing rail and a bearing carriage that is displaceably guided therein.
  • the bearing axis of the bearing unit is preferably aligned in the longitudinal direction of the housing.
  • the bearing axis is preferably aligned coaxially with a central axis of the housing that runs in the longitudinal direction of the housing. This allows the bearing unit to be designed particularly simply.
  • the first bearing element of the bearing unit is designed as a bearing rail and is firmly connected to the housing.
  • a “bearing rail” is preferably understood to mean a linear guide element which is intended to form a bearing track, preferably a straight bearing axis, along which a further element can be linearly displaced on or in the guide rail.
  • the bearing rail is intended to have a bearing carriage connected to it in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner, wherein the bearing carriage has a degree of freedom relative to the bearing rail at least in one axis, in particular along the bearing axis.
  • the bearing element preferably has at least one undercut.
  • the second bearing element of the bearing unit is designed as a bearing slide and is connected to the neck support unit.
  • a "bearing slide” is preferably understood to mean an element that is intended to be mounted in an axially displaceable manner in a bearing element designed as a bearing rail.
  • the bearing element designed as a bearing slide preferably comprises a base body and at least one bearing area attached to the base body.
  • the base body is intended to connect elements to be mounted, such as in particular the neck support unit.
  • the neck support unit is connected to the base body, preferably directly.
  • the first locking element has a toothing and that the second locking element has a corresponding toothing, which engage with one another in a positive locking manner.
  • a “toothing” should preferably be understood as a plurality of teeth arranged in a row of teeth. The teeth of the toothing are preferably all designed the same.
  • a “corresponding toothing” should preferably be understood as a toothing with at least one tooth, preferably several teeth, which are designed such that they can engage with the teeth of the correspondingly designed toothing in a positive locking manner. This means that the locking elements of the locking unit can be designed particularly simply and secure locking can be ensured by means of the locking unit.
  • the locking device has a spring element which is intended to press the first and second locking elements into a locking position.
  • a "spring element” is to be understood in particular as an elastic element which has at least one extension and/or a number of windings which can be elastically changed in a normal operating state by at least 10%, in particular by at least 20%, preferably by at least 30% and particularly advantageously by at least 50%, and which in particular generates a counterforce which is dependent on a change in the extension and/or number of windings and is preferably proportional to the change and which counteracts the change.
  • the spring element is preferably designed as a compression spring element.
  • the spring element is preferably designed as a spiral spring. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the spring element to be designed in another way which appears to be sensible to the person skilled in the art, for example as a Disc spring. This allows for simple, automatic locking of the locking device.
  • the locking device has an actuating mechanism by means of which the locking device can be manually adjusted between a locking position and a release position.
  • An "actuating mechanism” should preferably be understood as a mechanism that is intended to be actuated by an operator and to transmit an actuating movement to the at least one locking element of the locking device in order to adjust it between its locking position and its release position.
  • the at least one locking element of the locking device can be brought from its locking position to its release position by means of the actuating mechanism.
  • An adjustment of the locking element from the release position to the locking position preferably takes place automatically.
  • a “manual adjustment” should preferably be understood as an adjustment by an operator, for example by exerting a pressure force on an actuating means. In principle, it would also be conceivable that a manual exertion of a pulling force is provided for actuating the actuating mechanism. This makes the locking device particularly easy to operate and therefore adjustment of the neck support module particularly easy.
  • the actuating mechanism has at least one actuating means connected to the at least one second locking element and a spring element, against the spring force of which the actuating means can be deflected.
  • An "actuating means" should preferably be understood to mean an element that can be deflected between a neutral position and an actuating position by the application of force by an operator.
  • the actuating means is preferably designed as a spring-loaded push button that can be deflected from its neutral position to its actuating position by applying a pressure force.
  • the actuating means it would also be conceivable for the actuating means to be designed as a pulling element that can be deflected from its neutral position to its actuating position by applying a pulling force.
  • the actuating means it would also be conceivable for the actuating means to be designed as a rotating element that can be rotated from its neutral position to its actuating position by applying a torque. This allows the actuating mechanism for operating the locking device to be designed particularly simply.
  • the Figures 1 to 7 show an embodiment of an instrument case 10 according to the invention.
  • the instrument case 10 is formed by a guitar case. In principle, however, another design of the instrument case 10 that appears to be useful to a person skilled in the art would also be conceivable, such as a violin, viola, cello or double bass case.
  • the instrument case 10 is intended to accommodate a stringed instrument.
  • the instrument case 10 has a housing 12.
  • the housing 12 is formed by a shell housing.
  • the housing 12 has two housing shells 14.
  • the first housing shell 14 is designed as a housing base body.
  • the second housing shell not shown in more detail, is designed as a lid.
  • the first, lower housing shell 14 is intended to directly accommodate an instrument 16, wherein the lid, not shown in more detail, is intended to close the housing 12.
  • the lid can be connected to the first housing shell 14 of the housing 12 via clamp fasteners in a way that is not further visible.
  • the instrument case 10 has a receiving area 18 delimited by the housing 12.
  • the receiving area 18 is intended to accommodate an instrument 16.
  • the instrument 16 is a string instrument.
  • the instrument 16 is shown here as a violin as an example. In principle, however, another design of the instrument 16 that appears to be sensible to a specialist would also be conceivable, such as a guitar, cello, viola or double bass.
  • the receiving area 18 is delimited by the first housing shell 14 and the cover of the housing 12, which is not further visible. When the housing 12 is closed, the receiving area 18 is essentially closed off.
  • the bearing unit 40 has a first bearing element 46.
  • the first bearing element 46 is firmly connected to the housing 12.
  • the first bearing element 46 is firmly coupled to the base side 20 of the housing 12 for the firm connection to the housing 12.
  • the second bearing element 56 is firmly connected to the neck support unit 34.
  • the neck support unit 34 has a base formwork 70.
  • the base formwork 70 is intended to be coupled to the second bearing element 56.
  • the base formwork 70 is designed as a shaped base plate.
  • the base formwork 70 forms a construction basis of the neck support unit 34.
  • the base formwork 70 preferably forms a basic structure for the neck support element 36 of the neck support unit 34.
  • the neck support element 36 is firmly connected to the base formwork 70.
  • the neck support element 36 is firmly connected to an upper side of the base formwork 70.
