Abstract

Device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument and stringed musical instrument containing said device The invention relates to a device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument of the type that comprises a first and second component, it being possible to connect the first component to the neck and said second component to the body of the stringed musical instrument, said first and second components being form-engaged to each other, the device comprising also means for adjusting the contact position of said first component to different angles relative to said second component and in that the device also comprises means for fixing the relative position of said first component to said second component.

Claims (36)

1. A device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument comprising:

a first component, and a second component, which are configured to connect said first component to the neck and said second component to the body of the stringed musical instrument, wherein the first component and the second component are slidably fit each other at a contact surface thereof,

means for adjusting the contact position of said first component relative to said second component to different angles, and

means for fixing the relative position of said first component to said second component,

wherein:

said adjustment means of the respective first and second components each have curved toothed contact surfaces that form-engage to each other,

said adjustment means comprise two parts with respective curved toothed contact surfaces that fit together arranged inside said second component,

both of the parts comprise at least one through-hole along which at least one fixing component is arranged, and

the distal end of which is attached to said first component.

2. The device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein said fixing means comprise at least one bolt-type threaded component.

3. The device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein said fixing component comprises at least one bolt-type threaded component.

4. A device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument comprising:

a first component, and a second component, which are configured to connect said first component to the neck and said second component to the body of the stringed musical instrument, wherein the first component and the second component are slidably fit each other at a contact surface thereof,

means for adjusting the contact position of said first component relative to said second component to different angles, and

means for fixing the relative position of said first component to said second component,

wherein the contact surface of the first component and the second component comprises a circular-arc curved surface having a curvature center thereof at a point on the strings of said musical instrument.

5. A stringed musical instrument comprising a box connected to a neck by the device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument according to claim 1 .

6. The stringed musical instrument according to claim 5 , wherein said stringed musical instrument is a guitar.

7. A device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument comprising:

a first component, and a second component, which are configured to connect said first component to the neck and said second component to the body of the stringed musical instrument and be form-engaged to each other,

means for adjusting the contact position of said first component relative to said second component to different angles, and

means for fixing the relative position of said first component to said second component,

wherein said adjustment means of the respective first and second components each have curved toothed contact surfaces that form-engage to each other,

wherein:

said adjustment means comprise two parts with respective curved toothed contact surfaces that fit together arranged inside said second component,

both of the parts comprise at least one through-hole along which at least one fixing component is arranged, and

the distal end of which is attached to said first component.

8. The device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument according to claim 7 , wherein said fixing means comprise at least one bolt-type threaded component.

9. The device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument according to claim 7 , wherein said fixing component comprises at least one bolt-type threaded component.

10. A stringed musical instrument comprising a box connected to a neck by the device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument according to claim 7 .

11. The stringed musical instrument according to claim 10 , wherein said stringed musical instrument is a guitar.

12. A device for connecting the neck to the body of a stringed musical instrument, comprising:

a first component, and a second component, which are configured to connect said first component to the neck and said second component to the body of the stringed musical instrument and be form-engaged to each other,

means for adjusting the contact position of said first component relative to said second component to different angles, and

means for fixing the relative position of said first component to said second component,

wherein the contact surface of the first component and the second component comprises a circular-arc curved surface having a curvature center thereof at a point on the strings of said stringed musical instrument.
