String Locking Assembly For A Musical Instrument
US Patent:
4574678, Mar 11, 1986
Filed:
Jun 29, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/626444
Inventors:
William H. Edwards - Temple Terrace FL
International Classification:
G10D 312
US Classification:
84314N
Abstract:
A string locking assembly is provided for mounting on the headstock of a guitar or the like between a string nut and tuning pegs. The assembly includes a baseplate that is mounted directly to the headstock. The baseplate includes an outwardly disposed surface for supporting the guitar strings and outwardly extending posts at spaced intervals. The posts separate the individual strings and are sufficiently spaced to allow a wide range of string spacings to pass from the string nut to the tuning pegs through the assembly without interference. The assembly also includes a locking block overlying the strings and the baseplate and an associated cam action lock screw. The lock screw provides an unlocked position to allow quick tuning of the guitar and a locked position to provide clamping pressure between the locking block and the baseplate so as to prevent slippage of the strings over the string nut during play.

US Patent:
RE32863, Feb 14, 1989
Filed:
Mar 25, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/173742
Inventors:
William H. Edwards - Temple Terrace FL
International Classification:
G10D 312
US Classification:
84314N
Abstract:
A finger operated locking nut assembly for a stringed instrument is provided including a baseplate for separating and maintaining the strings over the fretboard, a locking block for pressing the strings against the baseplate and a cam action lock screw. The lock screw provides a first, unlocked position for allowing the strings to slide for tuning of the instrument and a second, locked position for maintaining the tune of the instrument during play. The preferred lock screw includes a threaded body to allow rough adjustment and a transverse head bifurcating a pivoting lever tab to define spaced cams. These cams provide spaced contact points across the block for even pressure and secure locking of the strings.
