Abstract: A combination strap lock and pick storage device includes a pair of arms each having a free end and an opposite end forming a ring defining a passage therethrough. The arms may be forced toward each other to expand the cross-sectional area of the passage sufficiently to allow passage therethrough of an enlarged head of a peg attached to a musical instrument. The arms may then be released so that the passage resumes its original cross-sectional area and engages a shaft portion of the peg. The device thus secures a support strap, previously mounted to the peg, to the musical instrument. Each arm additionally defines a channel along an inside surface thereof, wherein the opposing channels are configured to receive a flat pick therein. The device is configured such that one or more picks may be easily advanced into, or retrieved from, the channels defined in each of the arms. The arms may further define lobes adjacent to the channels for guiding picks within, and from, the channels.

Abstract: A combination strap lock and pick storage device includes a pair of arms each having a free end and an opposite end forming a single ring defining a passage therethrough. The arms are biased away from each other such that the passage has a predefined cross-sectional area. The arms may be forced toward each other to thereby expand the cross-sectional area of the passage sufficiently to thereby allow passage therethrough of an enlarged head of a peg attached to a musical instrument. Thereafter, the arms may be released so that the passage resumes its predefined cross-sectional area and engages a shaft portion of the peg, wherein the shaft has a cross-sectional area that is less than that of the enlarged head. The device thus secures a support strap, previously attached to the peg, to the musical instrument. Each arm additionally defines a channel along an inside surface thereof, wherein the opposing channels are configured to receive a flat pick therein.
