Embodiment

[0009] <1>Overall Configuration (Figs. 1 and 2) Fig. 1 shows a stage microphone with an attachment for a stage microphone according to the present invention (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "attachment A") attached thereto. Attachment A is configured to be detachable from the microphone body B connected to the microphone stand C, and is a member used to decorate the stage microphone by covering a part of the surface of the microphone body B. Fig. 2 shows the overall configuration of attachment A according to this embodiment. Attachment A according to this embodiment is provided with at least a main body portion 10, a mounting portion 20, and a decorative portion 30. Hereinafter, the details of each part will be described.

[0010] <2>Main Body Portion (Fig. 2) The main body portion 10 is a part for allowing the decorated stage microphone to be visually recognized by the audience on the stage by being arranged to cover a part of the surface of the microphone body B. In the present invention, the material, shape, and manufacturing method of the main body portion 10 are not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the main body portion 10 is configured by appropriately bending a long metal plate so as to substantially correspond to the outer diameter of the mounting position of the microphone body B to be attached and detached, and presenting a substantially U-shaped configuration in plan view. Note that the main body portion 10 may have a shape in which the back surface of the main body portion 10 contacts the microphone body B after being attached to the microphone body B, or may have a shape in which a gap is secured between the back surface of the main body portion 10 and the microphone body B.

[0011] <3>Mounting Portion (Figs. 2 and 1) The mounting portion 20 is a part for detachably attaching the attachment A to the microphone body B. In the present invention, the position and shape of the attachment portion 20 are not particularly limited. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the recessed portions provided at both ends of the main body portion 10 are used as the attachment portions 20. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the recessed portions of each attachment portion 20 are attached so as to be interposed between the housing portion constituting the sound collecting portion B2 and the frame B1 to which the sound collecting portion B2 is rotatably attached, and the sound collecting portion B2 is sandwiched. By screwing the fixing bolts provided on the frame B1, the attachment A can be fixed to the microphone main body B while fixing the orientation of the sound collecting portion B2 with respect to the frame B1.

[0012] <4>Decoration part (FIG. 2) The decoration part 30 is a part for exerting some decoration effect on the stage microphone to which the attachment A is attached. The decoration part 30 is preferably provided at a position visible to the audience on the stage or in the video of the stage shooting. In this embodiment, the decoration part 30 is provided on the surface of the main body part 10. The decoration part 30 can be composed of characters, figures, and symbols, or a combination thereof.

The attachment A according to this example is provided with a protection part 40 on the back side of the main body part 10 made of a long metal plate with respect to the attachment A according to Example 1. In the present invention, the shape, number, arrangement position, etc. of the protection part 40 are not particularly limited. As the protection part 40, a soft material such as sponge, rubber, tape, etc. that does not damage the microphone body B by contact with the microphone body B can be used.
