发明名称 TUNE STABILIZING DEVICE FOR A STRINGED INSTRUMENT
摘要 Some embodiments may generally relate to a wire tension stabilizing device. Such a device may comprise a floating base plate and at least one clamping block which can be fastened to the base plate using a clamping screw. One or more tensioned wires may be clamped between the base plate and the clamping block. An embodiment may also include a set of fine-tuner screws adapted to engage the tensioned wires side-on to effect slight adjustments in tension. Embodiments may optionally include elements which bias the clamping block(s) away from the base plate so that the two separate when the clamping screw is loosened. Embodiments may be adapted for installation on musical instruments, such as guitars, or may be adapted for use in any application where precise wire tensioning must be maintained despite large transient fluctuations in tension.

主权项 1. A wire tension stabilizing device, comprising: a floating base plate having at least one compression face, the floating base plate including at least one female thread, the floating base plate further comprising an abutment surface running along an edge of the floating base plate and adapted to abut an arbitrary anchor point; at least one clamping block having at least one compression face adapted to mate with the at least one compression face of the floating base plate, the clamping block including at least one unthreaded through-hole adapted to receive a screw therethrough, wherein the compression faces of the at least one clamping block and the floating base plate are adapted to cooperatively receive a plurality of tensioned wires between cooperating compression faces in an orientation generally parallel to the cooperating compression faces, the plurality of tensioned wires being work-pieces; and at least one clamping screw adapted to be cooperatively received by one of the at least one female threads of the floating base plate and one of the at least one unthreaded through-holes of the at least one clamping block so as to develop a compressive force between the compression face of the floating base plate and the compression face of the at least one clamping block, the compressive force being sufficient to fix the position of at least one of the plurality of tensioned wires relative to the floating base plate and the at least one clamping block.
