Shamisen shoulder strap

Abstract

The shamisen 1 in the "Overall Plan Reference Drawing of the Shamisen" is stored in an instrument case (not shown) for safety when transporting. However, when taking the shamisen in and out of the case, or while transporting or moving it out of the case, one of the side panels of the body may come into contact with surrounding objects unintentionally, and the shamisen body strap 11 of the design in question functions as a protector to prevent scratches. "Enlarged Perspective Reference Drawing 1 of the Body" is an example of application to the surface of one of the side panels 2A, 2B of the body 2. Cardboard, tanned leather, and soft or hard plastic are used as materials. As can be seen from the plan view and bottom view, the body strap 11 is a two-piece product, and is attached to the body 2 by utilizing the elasticity and contraction of the rubber string. That is, as shown in the "Perspective View of the Body Strap Only Before Wearing," the rubber string 22 is hung on the numerous holes 21 as shown in the "Perspective View of the Body Strap Only Just Before Wearing" in preparation for wearing. The torso strap is spread against the elasticity of the rubber cord 22, and as shown in "Reference Fig. 2, an enlarged perspective view of the torso," the auxiliary cord 26A is hooked to the cord hook fitting 63 attached to the torso to prevent the right end of the torso strap from coming off. Furthermore, as shown in "Reference Fig. 1, an enlarged perspective view of the torso," the auxiliary cord 26B is hooked to the base of the pole 54 to prevent the left end of the torso strap from coming off, ensuring that the torso is securely fixed. Usually, it is sufficient to cover one side of the torso.
