Abstract
Description
[0001] Common wall mounts for electric guitars and electric basses usually involve suspension at the neck or support of the body using special mounting elements.
[0002] The following disadvantages arise: • Mechanical stress (possible warping of the neck) of the instrument neck due to suspension or support by the mounting elements • Possible paint damage, paint changes, and discoloration due to extensive contact with plastic or plastic-coated mounting elements; the plasticizers potentially contained in the plastic alter the surface of painted instruments. • With conventional wall mounts, the mounting elements for the body and neck are visible.
[0003] The invention described in claim 1 is based on the problem of developing a wall bracket that: • ensures a secure hold of the instrument without straining the neck • is designed to be gentle on paint • is concealed by the instrument body after the instrument is hung
[0004] The problem is solved by claim 1 in that The wall bracket has at least two spaced-apart strap pin retaining hooks designed to securely hold the strap pins arranged on the body of the instrument, and the instrument is carried exclusively via its strap pins. How it works
[0005] The belt pin retaining hooks (7, 8) are designed to receive the belt pins in a form-fitting manner.
[0006] The instrument is carried by hooking both strap buttons into the strap button retaining hooks (7, 8). This prevents strain on the neck.
[0007] A support (6) with a felt pad is optionally used to stabilize the instrument body, whereby only the felt pad touches the lacquer. Angle adjustment
[0008] The angle for the desired alignment of the instrument on the wall is adjusted by means of a rotating plate (2). As the rotating plate (2) rotates, it engages the guide plate (3) and the retaining arms (4, 5). Once the desired angle is set, a detent lug on the rotating plate (2) causes it to be spring-loaded and pressed back into the toothed ring of the base plate (1), thus preventing further rotation. Conversion for left-handed instruments
[0009] To adapt to left-handed instruments, the strap pin retaining hooks (7, 8) can be swapped on the retaining arms (4, 5) on one side at a time.
[0010] The symmetrical or reversible design allows for use without any structural modifications.
[0011] The design of the wall bracket is described in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown.
[0012] In the Fig. 3 and Fig. Figure 4 shows the belt pin retaining hooks (7, 8) in detail.
[0013] In the Fig. Figure 5 shows in detail the construction for adjusting the angle for the desired alignment of the instrument on the wall using a base plate (1) and a rotating plate (2).

Claims
[1] (Main claim) Wall mount for electric guitars and electric basses with at least two strap buttons arranged on the body, characterized by , that the wall bracket has at least two spaced-apart strap pin retaining hooks (7, 8) designed to positively engage the strap pins, so that the instrument is carried exclusively via the strap pins. [2] Wall bracket according to claim 1, characterized by , that a base plate (1) and rotating / clamping plate (2) with detents for setting a rotation angle of approximately ±45° is provided. [3] Wall bracket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the support arms (4, 5) are length-adjustable. [4] Wall bracket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the belt pin retaining hooks (7, 8) are alignable. [5] Wall bracket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that a support with extension (6) is provided for the instrument body with a felt pad. [6] Wall bracket according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the strap pin retaining hooks (7, 8) are interchangeable on each side, so that the wall mount is suitable for right- and left-handed instruments.
