Publication number: 20180110278Abstract: A snapback adornment system is provided. The snapback system enables users to interchangeably and selectively adorn the snapback strap of a snapback cap with at least one stylized ornaments. The snapback adornment system includes ornaments having an ornamental body permanently joined to a detachable fastener. The detachable fastener can be removably connected to any of the spaced apart holes provided by the snapback strap, so as to prominently display at least one desired ornamental body on the snapback cap.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2016Publication date: April 26, 2018Inventor: Andrew Preston Chalmers

Publication number: 20150279340Abstract: A bridge plate for a tremolo (vibrato) bridge which has recesses on the top surface to facilitate a pivot on a constant pivot point. A shim which is placed between the bridge plate and the body of the guitar. A saddle can be associated with the bridge plate, to receive the guitar string and to adjust a height of the string and a distance from a nut of the guitar to the portion at which the string rests on the saddle. A block can be fitted to the underside of the bridge plate to receive the guitar string. A tremolo arm can be attached to the block, with springs to counteract the force of the string thereby establishing a stable position. This ensures that an angle of the bridge plate in a balanced position is always the same, thereby solving the problems of tuning stability.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2013Publication date: October 1, 2015Inventor: Andrew PRESTON
