Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a string press for guitars, especially electric guitars.

In general, a guitar consists of a bridge body that forms the main part, and a neck that extends from the body body to which the strings are attached. The string is wound around a so-called head winder, and the tension of the string is adjusted by tightening the winder.

Additionally, a string nut is attached to the head control at the tip of the neck as a fulcrum in order to determine the pitch.

The heads of these guitars can be roughly divided into two types: those with slanted heads and those with horizontal ones.The ones with slanted heads are the ones with slanted heads.The angle of the strings is set using the IJ song as a fulcrum, so the pitch is determined and stabilized. The situation makes me nervous.

However, for a horizontal head, the string nut is the fulcrum and the string can hardly be angled.
The strings become unstable and the pitch cannot be determined properly.

To solve this problem, a tension pin, that is, a string presser, is provided between the string nut and the string nut, so that the strings coming from the string nut are angled so that the same effect can be achieved by pressing the button on the sloping head.

In particular, guitars with horizontal head controls are easier to manufacture, require fewer manufacturing steps, and have the advantage of saving on materials.

Conventional string presses used for horizontal head M like this are stepped disk-shaped or hook-shaped metal fittings that are attached to head M using wood screws.
This is used to hold down the strings and keep them taut in a stable state.

However, such conventional string presses have drawbacks such as high frictional resistance, which tends to cause the pitch to go out of tune, and the strings to easily come off.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate these conventional drawbacks by creating a pin that extends horizontally from an upright support column! Instead, it is an object of the present invention to provide a guitar string press having at least one tension roller rotatably provided.

Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of an embodiment of the invention, which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Fig. 1, the guitar string press 1 of this invention
0 is attached to the head control 3 at the tip of the guitar's rod 2, and presses down the string 6 whose end is wound around the winder 7 via the string nut 4, so that the string 6 is pressed against the string nut 4. It is used to set an angle.

As shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, the string presser 10 of this invention has a support post 11 that is mounted upright on the horizontal head part 3 of the guitar neck 2, and a horizontal support post 11 that is attached to the top of the support post 11. a pin 12 provided in the direction; and a tension roller 1 provided at at least one end, in the illustrated embodiment, both ends, of this pin
4, and a threaded portion 16 for attachment extending downward from the lower end of the support column 11.

The support column 11 may be either a circular column or a square column, or may be a hollow cylindrical body.

A pin 12 extending horizontally at the upper end of this support column 11
A tensioning roller 14 is rotatably attached to the end of the pin 12 and secured by a suitable stop such as a stopper 18 to prevent it from falling off.

The tension roller 14 is V-shaped so as to hold the string 6 firmly.
It is preferable that the groove 15 has an appropriate shape such as a semicircle.

Further, in the illustrated embodiment, two tension rollers 14 are provided at both ends of the pin 120, but of course, one tension roller 14 may be provided if necessary.

Further, a screw hole is provided in the lower part of the support column 11 from below, and a screw portion 16 is screwed into the support column 11 so as to be attached to the head portion 3 of the guitar neck 2.

Of course, instead of this threaded part, a threaded part extending downward from the lower surface of the support pillar can be provided integrally with the support pillar and can be attached to the head of the guitar neck using a nut.

The guitar string press 10 of this invention constructed in this manner is attached to the head portion 3 of the guitar rod 2, and the strings 6 extending from the body of the guitar along the rod 2 are connected to the winder 7 via the string nut 4. By pressing the extending string portion downward as shown in Fig. 1, the string 6 is more reliably angled with respect to the string nut 4, so that the pitch is suitably determined and a stable state is maintained. In addition, a grooved tension roller 14 that can freely rotate around the pin 12 is attached to the string 6.
Since the strings 6 are pressed downward, there is no frictional resistance at all, the pitch does not go out of order during use, and the strings 6 are maintained under tension in a good and stable state.

Furthermore, if necessary, it is possible to install a plurality of tension rollers on both sides of the support column, for example two or three, so that one string presser can hold four or six strings at the same time. .
