Problems solved by technology

This results in no torque adjustment when the tremolo arm is turned
Besides, the gap causes interference between metal parts due to the recoil action that occurs when the tremolo arm is operated, and causes shock and noise, which disadvantageously degrades the operability of the tremolo arm.
Under the condition of squeezing the proximal end portion of the tremolo arm with a spring or the like, although the tremolo arm can be rotated to a desired position, and can be held in this position by friction between the tremolo arm and the cylindrical member, when operating the tremolo arm When the recoil is caused due to the interference between the metal parts, shock and noise are caused, which adversely reduces the operability of the tremolo arm

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The following will refer to Figure 1-8(a) An electric guitar 11 equipped with a tremolo device 12 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0023] For ease of description, the part of the electric guitar 11 corresponding to the headstock 14 and the part corresponding to the tremolo arm 51 of the electric guitar 11 are defined as the front and right parts of the electric guitar 11, respectively, see figure 1 with 2 . In addition, the direction away from the body of the electric guitar 11 is defined as upward.

[0024] figure 1 The illustrated electric guitar 11 has a solid body 12 and a neck 13 protruding forward from the body 12. The head 14 is arranged at the front end of the neck 13, and six rotatable strings 16 extend from the head. Six strings 15 are wound on the strings 16 respectively. The rear side of each string 16 has a rotating peg 17 which is provided with a gear mechanism (not shown) and protrudes from the headstock 14. The stri...

Abstract

A tremolo operating mechanism comprising an arm socket secured onto a base plate, a resin bushing contained in the upper part of the arm socket, a torque adjusting screw screwed into the upper part of the arm socket to press the resin bushing, and an arm receiving resin nut which is engaged with the lower part of the arm socket and is also engaged with the lower end portion of a tremolo arm. The tremolo arm rotates on the shaft thereof to change the amount of screw engagement with the arm receiving resin nut and adjust the height of the tremolo arm from the body. As the torque adjusting screw rotates, the torque of the tremolo arm is adjusted by the resin bushing. Since the tremolo arm is supported by the resin bushing and the arm receiving resin nut, it does not interfere with the arm socket to improve operability.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a tremolo device and an electric guitar having the tremolo device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a tremolo device with a tremolo arm that has excellent operability and can easily adjust height and torque. The invention also relates to an electric guitar with such a tremolo device. Background technique [0002] In some traditional tremolo devices, the metal cylindrical member is fixed on a rotatable base plate, and the proximal end of the tremolo arm is inserted into the cylindrical member. In this kind of tremolo device, the tremolo arm can be rotated, so that in the process of playing the electric guitar, the player can turn the handle of the tremolo arm to such a position where the tremolo arm and the strings of the electric guitar are placed. Relatively to change the tension of the strings. At the same time, when the tremolo device is not used, the handle of the tremolo arm rotates downward due to it...
