AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, its design only facilitates the fitting of a single hinge in the required area, which lacks structural integrity for this application, and lacks sufficient ability to properly align the two hinged parts
Also, the set screw is located too close to the outer edge of the part, which creates problems in this application due to the lack of material for the screw to secure itself properly
Currently available models also lack the opening clearance required for guitar hinge applications
Finally, the setup required to cut the mortises is time consuming and difficult to achieve consistently

Embodiment Construction

[0075] refer to figure 1 , the neck 12 of the folding guitar 10 is provided with a convex alignment piece 15 . The alignment piece 15 comprises a butt piece 17 which is screwed into a screw hole 19 . The docking member 17 includes a head 21 and an integrally threaded tubular member 23 .

[0076] The alignment member 15 also includes an elongated tube 25 including a top flange 27 . The flange 27 defines an elongated hole 29 . Holes 29 receive bolts 31 ( figure 2 ), the bolt 31 includes a frictionally engaging lock washer 33, as detailed below.

[0077] Such as Figure 4 As shown in , the mating female member 35 is mounted in the body 14 of the guitar, passing through the bout 26, the support block 50 of the bar 26 . The bolt 37 passes through the support block 50 to cooperate with the female part 35 . The female member 35 includes a receiving cone 39 which receives and cooperates with the head 21 to securely lock the neck 12 relative to the body 14 of the guitar.

Abstract

A self aligning folding guitar comprises a neck portion, and a body portion connected together with a Soss hinge. The Soss hinge may be mounted in a seat with flat sides. The hinge may be covered by the fretboard of the stringed instrument. The hinge is mounted to the neck portion and the body portion. A first alignment member is secured to the neck portion. A second alignment member is secitred to the body portion, the second alignment member meeting with the first alignment member at a substantially fixed position. A securement member secures the first alignment member to the second alignment member to secure the neck of the guitar in place.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a folding guitar with a pitch locking mechanism. Background technique [0002] Tone-generating musical instruments began as a search for the mechanical equivalent of the human voice. In fact this remained the standard throughout the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance and early modern times. [0003] Stringed instruments have been known since ancient times. These include instruments like the lute, guitar-like instruments that have a resonating box and a fingerboard. New Kingdom (Ancient Egypt, 1380 B.C.) bronze in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art depicts a dancing Nubian lifting his toes, cocking one knee, and mainly operating the fingerboard with his left hand and the right hand plucks the strings in a posture that can be exemplified by modern rock musicians. [0004] However, the lute has a much older history, perhaps originating from the West Jewish pastoralists who brought the instrument to Mesopotamia,...
