Description

  The present invention relates to a finger strengthener that reinforces a finger that is applied to an application in which the fingertip and the belly of the finger are abused, for example, a stringed musical instrument performance.

There exists patent document 1 which this inventor applied for as a fingertip reinforcement tool for conventional stringed musical instruments. By attaching a cushioning member to any part of the fingertip or the belly of the finger, it is possible to reduce the pain of the fingertip and perform well.
Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-318111

  However, in the embodiment of Patent Document 1, since the cushioning member is mounted so as to protrude to the outside of the fingertip or the belly of the finger, the cushioning member hits the string when changing the string to be pressed in guitar performance etc. there were.

  It is an object of the present invention to wear a cushioning material that relieves pain by suppressing the protrusion of the cushioning member and to perform well without a sense of incongruity.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the first invention is a finger reinforcement tool provided with means for pressing and mounting a cushioning member on an arbitrary part of a fingertip or an abdomen of a finger.

According to the first invention, the cushioning member can be pressed and attached to the part that contacts the fingertip and the string of the belly of the finger, so when changing the string to be pressed, the cushioning member does not hit the string and pain is reduced and well. Can play.

  One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In the case of playing a guitar, an example in which a fingertip reinforcement tool and a finger belly reinforcement tool are attached to a portion in contact with a string in order to change the pitch by pressing the string with the fingertip of the left hand and the belly of the finger is shown. CR rubber is used as a cushioning member for the fingertip reinforcement, and the size is 8 mm in diameter and 1.0 mm in thickness. Since the CR rubber having a hardness of about 55 is used as the buffer member, the string can be pressed with a feeling close to that when the octopus is formed on the fingertip. The cushioning member is pressed and attached to the fingertip with a stretchable adhesive tape, and its outer shape is a sphere with a diameter of 16 mm similar to the shape of the fingertip before compression, so it is close to the shape of the fingertip before mounting after mounting. , You can change the string to be pressed without hitting other strings. Also, CR rubber is used as a cushioning member for the finger belly reinforcement, the size is 5 mm wide, 15 mm long, 1.0 mm thick, and the periphery is formed in a columnar shape with a diameter of 16 mm to match the shape of the finger belly. . Since the CR rubber having a hardness of about 55 is used as the buffer member, the string can be pressed with a feeling close to that when the octopus is formed on the belly of the finger. The cushioning member is pressed and attached to the belly of the finger with a stretchable adhesive tape, and its outer shape is a columnar shape with a diameter of 16 mm similar to the shape of the finger belly before compression. You can change the string to be pressed without hitting other strings. In this embodiment, it is attached from the second indirect between the third indirect and the second indirect of the index finger, which is effective when simultaneously pressing the first and second strings of the guitar. FIG. 2 is a side view of the index finger, and FIG. 3 is a front view of the index finger. In this embodiment, the adhesive tape is used as means for pressing and mounting the buffer member. However, the buffer member may be attached to the inside of the finger sack or the finger tube. The shape and material of the cushioning material may vary depending on how it is pressed and the type of musical instrument. Depending on the application, such as the performance method, other materials with different slipperiness such as thin leather or rubber may be used on the adhesive tape surface. Also good.

"Effect of the embodiment"
According to the present embodiment, even when playing occasionally, the pain can be reduced and played as well as the state where the octopus is made, and the cushioning material does not hit the strings, so that it can be played without a sense of incongruity. Moreover, since it becomes difficult to make an octopus, it is possible to keep the octopus free on the finger and the belly of the finger.

"Other embodiments"
In this embodiment, CR rubber is used as a cushioning member, but it may be used by using a material such as leather that absorbs and divides sweat, or by providing a sweat hole in the rubber. Means for increasing the frictional force between them may be provided. Moreover, although the shape of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is rectangular in this embodiment, it may be made to adhere widely to the side of the finger as an inverted T-shape so that the tape is difficult to peel off. Alternatively, the surface of the adhesive tape at the position where the cushioning material is attached may be colored as a mark so that it can be used as a guide for mounting and holding down the strings.
