ABSTRACT:
The instant invention provides a device for mounting, display, and storage of stringed instruments such as guitars. The device is comprised of a body having a generally U-shaped opening for accepting the neck portion of an instrument. The device provides a secure storage mount for a guitar or other similar instrument whereby the instrument can be secured in the device by merely placing the neck portion of the guitar into the U-shaped opening. The neck of the instrument provides a force that is substantially perpendicular with respect to the instrument neck to cause translation of a slider member. Movement of the slider member provides rotation to a pair of fingers to enclose the neck of the instrument with the U-shaped opening. In a more secure embodiment, an instrument can be locked into place using a locking mechanism that provides selective translation of the slider member. The device provides the capability of being mounted to surfaces as well as new or pre-existing free-standing instrument stands.
