Patent CA-2179667-A1 (CA)
Title: Guitar noose
Inventor: BARTLEY DESMOND ANTHONY
IPC: G10D3/00
Filed: 1996-06-21
Abstract: An apparatus for mounting guitars with headpieces or stringed instruments of the like to vertical surfaces comprising of two seperate parts. The first of the two parts being a uni-body frame constructed from metal wiring or molded from synthetic material, having no openings around its perimeter. The longitudinal measurement of this frame is greater than its latitudinal measurement. The base of this frame is a latitudinal arm that is slightly greater in measurement than the nut of the guitar headpiece. This arm serves as the restraining bar of the frame. Both ends of the latitudinal bar are symmetrically bent at least 90 degrees to form two adjacent longitudinal arms. These arms are both bent symmetrically at the same points and distances from the latitudinal base bar to form a rest for the bottom of the guitar headpiece, and form a notched cavity at the frames peak which is convex in shape to the latitudinal base bar. The frame is greater in width at its base than at its peak. As a result the width between the longitudinal arms of the frame gradually decreases as they move upwards from its base. The second part of this apparatus is a hook which is affixed to a vertical surface by a single screw or nail. This hook is constructed so as to provide a resting place for the notch of the frame. In mounting the guitar its headpiece is inserted into the void area within the perimeter of the frame by placing the frame above the guitar headpiece so that its longitudinal arms are parallel with the width of the guitar headpiece. The frame is then slid down the length of the guitar headpiece to the guitar nut. Once at the nut of the headpiece the frame is turned 90 degrees until its latitudinal base bar is across nut of the guitar. The notched top end of the frame is then raised to the rear top end of the guitar headpiece. By holding the guitar around its nut and placing the notch of the frame into the hook affixed to the wall the guitar will be properly mounted.
