1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a foldable guitar holder, and more particularly to a foldable guitar holder that holds the guitar steadily.
2. Description of the Related Art
Lovers of guitars are unwilling to put the guitars on a ground and against a wall because they are afraid that the guitars will wear or slant and fall on the ground. Thus, the guitar is usually held by a guitar holder to prevent the guitar from contacting the ground. Moreover, the guitar on the guitar holder can be shown as a work of art.
With reference to
However, the supporting shaft (33) only has four ends with cushions (34) standing on the ground, so the stability of the conventional guitar bracket is not enough. Furthermore, each holding bracket (35) only has one end to connect with the pivoting shaft (32), so the holding bracket (35) may break to cause the guitar to fall on the ground.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a foldable guitar holder to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a foldable guitar holder that holds the guitar steadily.
To achieve the objective, the foldable guitar holder in accordance with the present invention has a stationary shaft, a central shaft assembly and two symmetrical brackets. The stationary shaft has an upper end and a lower end. The central shaft has a central shaft and two assistant shafts. The central shaft has a standing portion and a longitudinal hole. The longitudinal hole receives the lower end of the stationary shaft. The assistant shafts connect pivotally to the central shaft and have two standing ends. The brackets have two supporting shafts and two holding brackets. Each supporting shaft connects pivotally to the lower end of the stationary shaft and one of the assistant shafts and has a standing part. Each holding bracket connects pivotally to the upper end of the stationary bracket and has two bending parts and a holding part. The bending parts are supported respectively by supporting shafts. The holding part is formed between two bending parts to hold a guitar. The standing portion, standing ends and standing parts allow the guitar bracket to stand on the ground steadily.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
With reference to
The stationary shaft (11) has an upper end (111) and a lower end (112). Each end (111, 112) may have a screw.
The central shaft assembly is mounted perpendicularly on the lower end (112) of the stationary shaft (11) and has a central shaft (12) and two assistant shafts (13).
The central shaft (12) is L-shaped, is mounted slidably on the lower end (112) of the stationary shaft (11) and has a body (121) and a standing portion. The body (121) has a distal end, a proximal end and a longitudinal hole (123). The distal end has a fastening hole (124). The fastening hole (124) is defined through the distal end of the body (121). The longitudinal hole (123) is defined through the body (121) and allows the lower end (112) of the stationary shaft (11) to extend in and move slidably along the longitudinal hole (123). The standing portion is formed on the proximal end of the body (121), stands on a ground and may have a bending part (122) and a cushion. The bending part (122) is formed on and extending perpendicularly from the proximal end of the body (121). The cushion envelops the bending part (122) to provide friction, so the central shaft (12) can stand on the ground steadily.
The assistant shafts (13) are arranged symmetrically. Each assistant shaft (13) is L-shaped, is mounted pivotally on the distal end of the body (121) of the central shaft (12) and has a body (131) and a bending part (132). The body (131) has a distal end, a proximal end and a middle part. The distal end has a pivoting hole (133). The pivoting hole (133) is defined through the distal end of the body (131), corresponds to the fastening hole (124) and may allow a screw to be mounted through the fastening hole (124) and the pivoting holes (133) of the assistant shafts (13). A nut is screwed onto the screw so the assistant shaft (13) is mounted pivotally on the central shaft (12). The middle part is formed between the distal end and the proximal end and has a hole (134). The hole (134) is defined through the body (131) of the assistant shaft (13). The bending part (132) is formed on the proximal end of the body (131) and has a standing end. The standing end stands on the ground and may have a cushion. The cushion envelops the standing end of the bending part (132) to provide friction, so the assistant shaft (13) can stand on the ground steadily without inadvertently slipping. The standing ends will be moved close to the standing portion of the central shaft (12) by pivoting the body (131) when the guitar holder is folded. The standing ends will be moved away from the standing portion of the central shaft (12) by pivoting the body (131) when the guitar holder is unfolded.
The brackets correspond respectively to the assistant shafts (13), are arranged symmetrically and each bracket has a supporting shaft (14) and a holding bracket (15).
The supporting shaft (14) is substantially L-shaped and has a connecting part (141), a standing part (144) and a supporting part (145). The connecting part (141) has a proximal end, a distal end and a middle part. The proximal end connects pivotally to the lower end (112) of the stationary shaft (11) and has a limiting hole (142). The limiting hole (142) is defined through the proximal end and allows the lower end (112) of the stationary shaft (11) to extend in to connect pivotally to the supporting shaft (14) to prevent the lower end (112) from disengaging from the longitudinal hole (123). The limiting hole (142) and the lower end (112) of the stationary shaft (11) can be connected together by a nut mounted on the screw of the lower end (112). The middle part is formed between the proximal end and a distal end, connects pivotally to the middle part of the body (131) of the assistant shaft (13) and has a connecting hole (143). The connecting hole (143) is defined through the connecting part (141), corresponds to the hole (134) of a corresponding assistant shaft (13) and may allow a screw to be mounted in the connecting hole (143) and the hole (134). A nut is screwed onto the screw so that the supporting shaft (14) connects pivotally with the corresponding assistant shaft (13). The standing part (144) stands on the ground, is formed lower than the connecting part (141), is mounted on the distal end of the connecting part (141) and has an end and a cushion. The cushion envelops the standing part (144) to provide friction, so the supporting shaft (14) can stand on the ground steadily. The supporting part (145) is formed perpendicularly on the end of the standing part (144) and has an upper end.
With further reference to
Because the foldable guitar holder has multiple standing ends and two standing parts (144) to stand on the ground, the foldable guitar holder can stand steadily. Moreover, each holding bracket (15) is supported by the supporting shaft (14) on the first and the second bending part (153, 154), so the holding bracket (15) will not break to damage the guitar (20).
