Description

Capo

The invention "relates to a gapo that consists of one to be pressed against the strings and adjustable on the fingerboard Crossbar "consists of, This crossbar is on the neck of the instrument so easily detachable that the entire reference of the strings can be tuned higher at once, Known forms of execution of such gapos have an am Crossbar that can be swiveled out and hooked into place on a screw connection against the neck of the musical instrument like guitar or the like can be clamped. These capos have disadvantages in several respects. they are unwieldy and annoying during the game. In addition, they have an unsightly design that falls into the field of vision.

The conventional capos have a crossbar with a uniform over its length Pad. Since the strings have different thicknesses, the thick strings are depressed until ouch the thinner strings are pressed down on the fingerboard. Because of the evenly designed padding of the crossbar The disadvantage arises that the thicker strings are pressed down so hard that an exact tuning of the whole String tension is almost impossible. In addition, the durability of the strong, strung strings in particular is considerable impaired. ;

The disadvantages and difficulties identified to eliminate in the simplest way, the invention has to Purpose. Its essence is seen in the fact that the crossbar is equipped with a pressure block for each string is that in a - ^ ett arranged at different heights and resilient is supported.

The subject of the invention is shown schematically in the drawing by means of an exemplary embodiment, and although shows:

Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section through a string cover pressed capodasterj

In Figure 1, the neck of a plucked instrument such as guitar or the like shown in cross section is through the number 1 marked, on its fingerboard 2 the strings

3-8 can be printed by the crossbar that represents the gapo "educates.

The transom consists of a bed 9 "in

which for each string 3 - 8 a pressure piece 1o - 15 adjustable in height is arranged. These printing pieces 1o - 15 »die are arranged so that they can be displaced separately from one another in the vertical direction, are supported against the bed by a suspension 16-2o 9 from.

Each of the pressure pieces 1o - 15 'is assigned a suspension 16 - 2o, which consists of "rubber or similar elastic material. These leatherings 16 - 2o have different elastic properties such that the individual pressure levels 1o 15 de, n apply the same pressure Exercise your strings 3 - 8 against the handle board 2 of the instrument neck 1. For example, the leather 16 of the push piece 1o for the strongest string 3 of the cover is the most elastic compared to the other springs 17 - 2o the thinnest string 8 of the cover has the least elastic property. In this way it is achieved that when the capo aater according to the invention is put on, the strings 3 - 8 of the instrument cover are pressed evenly against the fingerboard to make precise, higher tuning of the musical instrument. '

It has been found to be useful to give the pressure pieces 3-8 an I-shaped cross-section, such as it shows the figure 2. The bar 21 of the ΐ-shaped pressure pieces 1o - 15 »is supported by the associated rubber suspension

16-2ö against the bed 9 from »The webs 22 are on their associated Strings 3-8 of the instrument cover imprinted. That Bed 9 and also the printing materials 1o - 15 "consist of one hard material for which a suitable plastic for .application can come who for the vote up the train the has suitable properties.

It has been found to be advantageous to provide the bed 9 with a T-shaped longitudinal groove in which the T-shaped back pieces 1o - 15 with their associated springs 16 - 2o are inserted ·. HSa from Figure 2 can be seen, the - ^ ett 9 has two adjacent longitudinal grooves 23 and 24, in which two rows of T-shaped pressure pieces 1o - 15 with their various Grimmi springs 16 2O " are inserted.

The crossbar 9-2 © forming the gapo

is attached to the instrument neck 1 by a rubber band 25 and pressed onto the string 3-8. For this purpose, the ends of the rubber band 25 are easily detachably connected to one another by hooks and eyes or similar elements. In this way, the oapodaster is firmly seated and held on the neck of the instrument without the 2 _a ] _t _e tion hindering playing and can have an annoying appearance.
