发明名称 Ergonomic positioning apparatus for guitar or like instruments
摘要 A guitar or like instrument harness apparatus which suspends the instrument (50) upon a player (60) and enables precise control and subtle manipulation of the instrument position in relation to the body and in a closer accordance with the principles governing proper body mechanics. The apparatus utilizes three separate movable clamp anchors (40) designed to be attached about the main body of the instrument (50). The apparatus contains male end quick-lock-release clasps (42). Two separate strap assemblies; a double-shoulder strap assembly (20) and a double-back strap assembly (30) interconnect with each other and assume position on the player (60). The front ends of the shoulder straps (26) are separately connected to a chest cross member (22) which contains sliding strap displacement guide members (28) for controlling the displacement of the shoulder straps (26) upon the player's shoulders. Cross member (22) and back strap ties (36) contain female end quick-lock-release clasps (24) which interconnect with their coinciding male counterpart clasps (42) located on clamp anchors (40). Adjustments for changing instrument position in relation to a player's body (60) can be accomplished by changing the lengths of back strap ties (36) and shoulder strap ties (27) and by changing the placement of the clamp anchors (40) upon the instrument (50). A further optional device-a guitar body displacing unit (70)-can be attached by suction cups (80) to the back of the main guitar body (50) to further enhance oblique displacement of the instrument (50) from the torso of the player (60), and to further assist in adjusting the angle of the fretboard playing surface (54) obliquely, and rotationally along its axis.
