Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of violin technology, and in particular to an adjustable fixed-width violin shoulder rest. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese Patent No. CN207852291U discloses an adjustable fixed-width violin shoulder rest, comprising a shoulder rest body and a fixing device. Each end of the upper surface of the shoulder rest body has a long, narrow groove. A sliding shaft, which slides within the groove, engages with the groove. The fixing device includes a fixed base and an L-shaped support rod. The fixed base is connected to the top of the support rod, and the bottom of the support rod is connected to the sliding shaft. The fixing device can rotate relative to the upper surface of the shoulder rest body via the sliding shaft. A locking protrusion is provided on the side of the support rod, and multiple locking slots are provided on the groove to engage with the locking protrusion. By changing the position of the sliding shaft within the groove, the relative position of the two fixing devices is changed. Then, by rotating the fixing device, the locking protrusion on the support rod engages with the corresponding locking slot in the groove, fixing the position of the fixing device. This allows for convenient adjustment of the relative position of the two fixing devices, adapting the fixing device to violins of different sizes, and providing quick and easy adjustment.

[0003] This device can be used in the production of violin shoulder rests. By changing the position of the sliding shaft, the two fixing devices can be changed to accommodate violins of different sizes. However, the device does not have a stable limiting structure, and the sliding shaft is prone to falling off and being damaged when the violin is not fixed. Therefore, an improvement has been proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the lack of a stable limiting structure and the tendency for the sliding shaft to fall and be damaged when the violin is not secured. This invention proposes an adjustable and fixed-width violin shoulder rest.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] Design an adjustable fixed-width violin shoulder rest, including a shoulder rest body, with sliding grooves at both ends of the shoulder rest body, and multiple sets of locking grooves inside the sliding grooves, with equal spacing between the multiple sets of locking grooves, and a support component that cooperates with the locking grooves is slidably connected inside the sliding grooves.

[0007] The support assembly includes a fixed base, the lower end face of which has a recycling groove. A locking block slides up and down inside the recycling groove. The bottom of the locking block is movably inserted into the locking groove. The fixed base is provided with a pressing component that drives the locking block to disengage from the locking groove.

[0008] Preferably, the pressing assembly includes a lifting groove formed inside the fixed base, a pressing member sliding up and down inside the lifting groove, and a magnetic suction member glued and fixed to the bottom of the pressing member, the magnetic suction member magnetically engaging with the locking block.

[0009] Preferably, a spring is provided below the magnetic attractor, and the spring elastically abuts against the magnetic attractor to move upward.

[0010] Preferably, a slot is provided below the lifting groove, and the spring is movably inserted into the slot.

[0011] Preferably, a sliding block is fixedly connected to the outer end face of the fixed base, and the sliding block is slidably engaged inside the sliding groove.

[0012] Preferably, a soft pad is glued and fixed to the lower end face of the shoulder support body, and multiple sets of ventilation slots are opened inside the shoulder support body.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing base is internally threaded with a clamping frame, and two sets of symmetrical clamping frames cooperate with each other to fix the violin below.

[0014] This utility model proposes an adjustable fixed-width violin shoulder rest, the advantages of which are as follows: By creating sliding grooves at both ends of the shoulder rest body, it allows for sliding connection to the violin's support assembly. Within the support assembly, two sets of clamps can fix it to the violin. To accommodate violins of different sizes, the spacing of the support assembly can be adjusted. The locking block, when lowered, can be inserted into a locking slot, thus restricting the support assembly from moving and ensuring its structural stability, preventing easy detachment. A spring abuts against a magnetic component, causing it to move upwards. When the magnetic component moves a sufficient distance away from the locking block, the locking block loses its magnetic effect and falls back into the locking slot. Moving the pressing component downwards allows the magnetic component to reach a position where it can attract the locking block, thus disengaging it from the locking slot. This allows for the movement and adjustment of the assembly, facilitating the use of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-5 An adjustable fixed-width violin shoulder rest includes a shoulder rest body 1, characterized in that: both the left and right ends of the shoulder rest body 1 are provided with sliding grooves 101, the sliding grooves 101 are provided with multiple sets of locking grooves 102, the spacing between the multiple sets of locking grooves 102 is equal, and the sliding grooves 101 are slidably connected with a support component that cooperates with the locking grooves 102.

[0023] The support assembly includes a fixed base 2, and a recycling groove 204 is provided on the lower end face of the fixed base 2. A locking block 5 slides up and down inside the recycling groove 204. The bottom of the locking block 5 is movably inserted into the locking groove 102. The fixed base 2 is provided with a pressing component that drives the locking block 5 to disengage from the locking groove 102. By the falling of the locking block 5, it can be inserted into the locking groove 102. This can restrict the support assembly from moving, thereby ensuring the stability of the support assembly structure and allowing for more precise adjustment of the width of the shoulder rest body 1, thus accommodating more violins.

[0024] refer to Figure 3 In order to prevent the fixed seat 2 from detaching from the slide groove 101, a sliding block 201 is fixedly connected to the outer end face of the fixed seat 2, and the sliding block 201 is slidably engaged inside the slide groove 101.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 To facilitate the use of the device, a soft pad is glued and fixed to the lower end of the shoulder support body 1. Multiple sets of ventilation slots are opened inside the shoulder support body 1. The ventilation slots can increase comfort in high-temperature scenarios.

[0026] refer to Figure 5In order to adjust the clamping height and angle, a clamping frame 3 is threaded inside the fixed base 2, and two sets of symmetrical clamping frames 3 are fixed to the bottom of the violin in cooperation with each other.

[0027] refer to Figure 3 A pressing component is provided for moving the locking block 5. The pressing component includes a lifting groove 202 opened inside the fixed base 2. A pressing member 4 slides up and down inside the lifting groove 202. A magnetic suction member 401 is glued and fixed to the bottom of the pressing member 4. The magnetic suction member 401 magnetically engages with the locking block 5. By moving the pressing member 4 up and down, the adsorption position of the magnetic suction member 401 is changed. By adsorbing the locking block 5 through the magnetic suction member 401, the locking block 5 can be disengaged from the locking groove 102, so that the support component can be moved.

[0028] refer to Figure 5 In order to ensure that the pressing part 4 automatically resets, a spring 6 is provided below the magnetic suction part 401. The spring 6 elastically abuts against the magnetic suction part 401 and moves upward.

[0029] refer to Figure 3 To prevent the spring 6 from shifting during compression, a slot 203 is provided below the lifting groove 202, and the spring 6 is movably inserted into the slot 203.

[0030] Working method: During operation, by moving the pressing part 4 downward, it moves to the adsorption position of the locking block 5. At this time, the locking block 5 can be disengaged from the locking groove 102 under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction part 401. This allows the sliding fixed seat 2 to be slid, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of support components. After the adjustment is completed, the pressing part 4 is released. At this time, the pressing part 4 will be reset under the action of the spring 6, and the magnetic attraction part 401 will disengage from the adsorption distance of the locking block 5. The locking block 5 falls back down, making the support components unable to move and maintaining the stability of the device.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
