DEVICE FOR MAINTAINING VIOLIN ON THE VIOLINIST'S SHOULDER

摘要

The invention relates to a device which stabilizes the violin by placing it or fixing it on a stable support held against the bust of the violinist. The invention is available in two versions: 1. The violin shoulder rest is supported on a single support (1) or (2). 2. The violin shoulder rest is supported on a flat surface support (2), itself attached to another support (1). The support, (1) or (2) according to the variant, is held against the bust of the violinist by two straps (7) and (8). The basic principle of the invention is completed by the following elements: • The shoulder plate is pressed against its support by magnetization, said support being made of ferrous metal or comprising inclusions of ferrous metal. Other means such as anti-slip or mechanical systems are possible. • The support (1) is curved but includes flat portions (15) serving as a seat for the shoulder. It can be made of semi-rigid or flexible material such as leather or fabric. • The support that receives the violin can be attached to a garment. • Repositionable relief markers should be placed on the support receiving the shoulder pad. They allow to position the shoulder pad with precision. • Thermoforming drops are used to make a raised piece that indicates positions (14) and attaches to the violin neck. The device according to the invention is intended for violinists, particularly beginners.
