An app available on any smart device will be made that will have a layout of guitar pedals that can be used to change the effect of the guitar plugged into the case, also including a drum machine. The speaker layout will consist of speakers on the top portion of case. There will be a microphone insert, mic effects, and a guitar insert along with all the knobs that are necessary to operate a guitar.

The invention relates to a travelling guitar comprising, on the one hand, a body (1) delimited by a soundboard (2), sides or body sides (3) and a bottom deck (4) and, on the other hand, a neck (10) and a headstock and strings, which are detachable from the body, the bottom deck (4) also being detachable from the body in order to gain access to the interior volume thereof, characterized in that the means for assembling the bottom deck (4) with the body (1) consist of a peripheral rim (4a) of the bottom deck (4) to form a peripheral binding tightly encompassing the free edge (3a) of the body sides (3). It also relates to a travel set using the volume of the body as a compartment in which to stow personal effects of the user.

A hinge assembly prevents an open lid from inadvertently falling closed, and comprises hinge leaves for attachment to a lid and a container body. A friction torque pair extends along a longitudinal axis and includes a first c-section member resiliently biased toward a smaller diameter axially capturing a second c-section member resiliently biased toward a larger diameter, the c-section members connecting the hinge leaves. The c-section members are configured of substantially rigid resilient material so as to provide friction torque such that when the longitudinal axis is horizontally oriented with the body below the lid, the lid's movement in a closing direction requires greater force than created by the lid's weight to cause relative axial rotation of the c-section members. The hinge assembly has utility with musical instrument cases and containers having a lid.

The present invention relates to a musical instrument case (10) for storing a musical instrument, comprising a case body (12) having an inner wall (16), a cover (18) is attached to the case body (12), an adjustable supporting means (24) is affixed on the inner wall (16) wherein the adjustable supporting means (24) comprising at least one of cushioning unit (26) and each cushioning unit (26) is connectable by a rope (28), wherein the cushioning unit (26) is expanded to securely grip the musical instrument when the rope (28) is pulled and can be adjusted to fit with various sizes of the musical instruments.

An instrument case with a built in stand is provided. The present invention includes an enclosure on a rear surface of the instrument case. The stand may include a deploy arm and a leg. The deploy arm includes a top end and a bottom end. The bottom end is pivotally secured within the enclosure bay. The leg is pivotally secured in between the top end and bottom end of the deploy arm. The leg includes slider pins slidably engaged with slots formed in the enclosure bay. The stand comprises a deployed position and a retracted position. The deployed position includes the deploy arm and the leg pivoted away from the enclosure bay and supporting the instrument case in an upright position of a surface. The retracted position includes the deploy arm and the leg pivoted towards the enclosure bay such that the instrument case is easy to transport.

A case for holding an article includes a base, a lid having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, such that the lid is connected to the base at the first side and the lid and base together define an enclosed environment when the case is closed. A monitoring device is included that has an accelerometer, a humidity sensor, and a temperature sensor. The monitoring device is attached to the lid such that the monitoring device is in communication with the enclosed environment when the case is closed. The device can be used to detecting tampering with the case and can be installed permanently in the case.

The invention is based on a musical instrument case, in particular for storage of a string instrument, with at least one housing, with at least one storage region, which is delimited by the housing, for storage of a musical instrument, and with at least one fixing unit, which is provided to fixate a musical instrument in the storage region at least substantially fixedly as regards a position. It is proposed that the at least one fixing unit-4-84 comprises at least one structural element of low flexural strength, which is in a fixated state of a musical instrument provided to contact a body of the musical instrument.

A carrying device with a built-in security system including a security unit 10 having components housed in an integral unit, where the components include a camera 1 with a light sensor 2; with a shatter proof clear cover 3 over the camera lens 16; a speed sensor 4; a distance sensor 9; a GPS tracker 8; a transponder 7 for sending and accepting digital data; a microcontroller 15, and a rechargeable power supply 5 in electrical communication with the microcontroller 15, the camera 1, the speed sensor 4, the distance sensor 9, the GPS tracker 8and the transponder 7; to monitor the location and contents of the carrying device and to provide real time feedback to the user.

The wind instrument electronic warming case comprises an instrument case, a temperature control subsystem, and an operator interface. The temperature control subsystem may comprise one or more heating elements and one or more air moving devices that may vary the temperature of a musical instrument that is stored within the instrument case. As a non-limiting example, the musical instrument may be a flute. Storing the musical instrument within the instrument case may eliminate the need for the musical instrument to acclimate to room temperature or be warmed after being in a cold environment and may prevent thermal contraction and expansion which may alter the tonal qualities of the musical instrument. The operator interface may be adapted for a user to monitor and control the operation of the temperature control subsystem.

The case of the present invention allows a user to store, transport and use as many as 15 guitar effects pedals, depending on size, and optional, associated accessory components such as a pedal switch controller, a power supply and a power strip, in a small footprint and enables the user to quickly and efficiently set up and play guitar with effects pedals on a plug-and-play basis. The case has a base with a shelf that can accommodate up to six effects pedals. The base also may receive and house a removable or slide-out drawer that can accommodate up to nine pedals. The drawer may have an optional, removable, upper shelf that can accommodate up to five pedals. The drawer may have an optional, articulating shelf that can accommodate mounted thereon a pedal switch controller for the pedals and at least one pedal.
