PCT No. PCT/CA90/00264 Sec. 371 Date May 28, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date May 28, 1991 PCT Filed Aug. 20, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/05329 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 18, 1991.A violin or the like shoulder rest is disclosed, wherein the transverse inclination of the elongated base (12, 61) relative to the clamping forks (15, 16, 93, 102) is limited to an angle of about 5 DEG to about 25 DEG to reduce the likelihood of damaging the instrument by inadvertently impacting the bottom of the violin with the edge of the base of the shoulder rest. A preferred embodiment provides the advantage of transfer of load forces from the clamping forks (93, 102) to the base (61) through bearing caps (89, 100) rather than by way of pivot pins (87, 88, 98, 99), to allow substantial reduction in size of the pivot pins. In a particularly preferred embodiment, rectangular blocks (82, 95) are pivotable each within a complementary cavity provided in the respective post at the end of the base. |
