Description

[Detailed description of the invention] In this invention, a plurality of cut grooves are formed alternately on the inner and outer surfaces of the holding piece provided at one end of the holding piece that presses the strings against the guitar neck, and the cutting grooves are formed alternately on the inner and outer surfaces of the holding piece. It is about a capo tasto that is entirely meandering.

As is well known, a capo tasto consists of a holding piece that presses the strings against the guitar neck and an elastic clamping piece attached to one end of the holding piece. The tip of the clamping piece is fixed to the other end of the holding piece, and the holding piece presses the strings against the guitar neck using the holding piece's elasticity. Therefore, the capo tasto can be fixed in any position on the guitar neck, but if used repeatedly, the elastic member of the clamping piece will stretch out and the elastic force will weaken, and the pressing force against the strings will weaken, making it no longer functional. There are cases.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above, and the embodiments shown in the drawings will be explained below.
It consists of a holding piece 3 which is fixed to one end of the holding piece 2 and holds the guitar neck from the back side.

The presser piece 2 is made of metal, hard synthetic resin, or the like, and has a semicircular presser piece 4 made of rubber on the lower surface in order to make it stick tightly to the strings on the top surface of the guitar neck.
is fixed in the length direction, and a locking part 5 is formed at the tip.

This locking portion 5 has a plurality of locking grooves 7 formed by petal-shaped extension pieces 6 extending from both sides of the distal end surface of the presser piece 2.

On the other hand, the length of the clamping piece 3 is such that it allows the holding piece 2 to come into close contact with the surface of the guitar neck and does not reach the lowest level of the holding piece 2 and the locking groove 7 when it is bent along the back of the guitar neck in that state. , thick part 3
It is a flexible semi-hard synthetic resin having a thin wall portion 3a and a thin wall portion 3b. A plurality of grooves 8 are formed on the inner and outer surfaces of the thick portion 3a at appropriate intervals, crossing the width direction and reaching halfway through the thickness. Therefore, the thick portion 3a has a meandering shape due to each cut groove 8.

Then, a fastening rod 9 is embedded in the vicinity of the tip of the thin walled portion 3b integrally continuous from the thick walled portion 3a so as to cross the width direction, and the left and right ends 9', 9' protrude. The tip portion is designated as a knob portion 10.

To attach the capo tasto 1 of the present invention, which has the above-described structure, to the guitar neck 11, the lower surface of the presser piece 2 is brought into close contact with the upper surface of the guitar neck 11, and the presser piece 4 is attached to the guitar neck 11.
Hold down the string 12 with the holding piece 3, hold the knob 10 of the holding piece 3, and while pulling it, wrap it around the back of the guitar neck 11.
It is locked in the appropriate locking groove 7 of. When this clamping piece 3 is pulled while curving along the back surface of the guitar neck 11, the groove-shaped portion of each cut groove 8 widens and becomes longer, making it easier to hook the retaining rod 9 into the retaining groove 7. In the hooked state, the string strongly adheres to the back surface of the guitar neck 11, so that the presser piece 2 presses the string 12 against the guitar neck with sufficient force.

To remove the capo tast 1 from the guitar neck 11, pull the knob 10 of the clamping piece 3 and remove the left and right ends 9', 9' of the locking rod 9 from the locking groove 7.

In this way, the proposed capo is not only extremely easy to attach and detach from the guitar neck, but instead of using the elastic force of rubber to attach to the guitar neck as in the past, the capo is attached to the guitar neck on the inner and outer surfaces of the clamping piece. By forming multiple cut grooves and widening the space in the groove-like part of each cut groove to make it longer, it can be attached to the guitar neck extremely firmly and presses the strings strongly, so it can be used as a capo. Not only is it extremely effective, but the holding force of the clamping pieces does not weaken even after a long period of time, so it is durable enough to withstand many years of use.

Furthermore, since the structure is simple, it can be mass-produced, resulting in excellent productivity, and it can be provided at a low price, making it highly economical.
