Abstract:
An ergonomic harness system for hands-free support of violins and violas that incorporates two partly overlapping concave/convex shaped plates with attached rib tabs on each end that secure the plates to the instrument in a cross-pattern at the C-bouts and bottom edge of the instrument body. Mechanisms for expanding and contracting the plates allows the harness to accommodate instrument size variations and provides an adjustable binding force. A telescoping chest pad is secured to one end of the concave plate for supporting the instrument using the body.

Claim (Index 6):
The harness of  claim 5  wherein the method of binding the plates together and contracting them to provide the compressive binding force at the tabs further comprises:\n a worm-gear mechanism attached to a locking quick-release lever; \n a threaded shaft attached to the worm-gear; \n a receiving nut secured to the centerline of one of the plates for receiving the threaded shaft; \n one or more guide cavities inserted into the receiving nut plate; \n one or more guides extending away from the other plate corresponding to the guide cavities of the receiving nut plate such that the area of plate overlap expands or contacts when the quick-release lever is toggled;
