Rosin bar holder

Claim 2

A rosin bar holder comprising: a body having sidewalls, end walls, a bottom and an open top defining an internal cavity for removably receiving a rosin bar, the internal cavity having a shape complementary to the shape of the rosin bar; inwardly extending lips formed at the upper ends of the sidewalls overlaying the internal cavity in the body to secure a rosin bar therein; and aligned aperture means formed in the end walls of the body and extending from the open top for enabling an article to be used for its intended purpose while being housed in the body, said aperture being of less width and height than the internal cavity to further secure a rosin bar therein; and the body being formed of a shock absorbing and resilient material for protecting the rosin bar housed here in from damage from external forces and to enable the sidewalls to be resiliently urged outward for removable insertion of a rosin bar into the body.

Claim 3

The rosin bar holder of claim 1 wherein the aperture means includes first and second opposed apertures formed in the sidewalls.

Claim 4

The rosin bar holder of claim 1 further including: a plurality of outwardly extending external ribs formed on certain of the sidewalls end walls and bottom.

Claim 5

The rosin bar holder of claim 3 wherein:

Claim 6

the ribs extend continuously across the sidewalls and the bottom of the holder.

Claim 7

the ribs extend continuously across the sidewalls and the bottom of the holder.

Claim 8

The rosin bar holder of claim 6 further including a plurality of outwardly extending ribs. formed on the lips.

Claim 9

The combination of a holder and a rosin bar for stringed instrument bow strings comprising: a body having sidewalls, end walls, a bottom and an open top, defining a internal cavity for removably receiving the rosin bar, the internal cavity having a shape complementary to the shape of the rosin bar; inwardly extending lips formed at the upper end of the sidewalls overlaying the internal cavity in the body to secure the rosin bar therein; aligned aperture means formed in the end walls of the body and extending from the open top for permitting a bow string to be drawn across the rosin bar while the rosin bar is in the body, said aperature being of less width and height than the internal cavity to further secure the rosin bar therein; and the body being formed of a shock absorbing and resilient material for protecting the rosin bar housed therein from damage from external forces and to enable the sidewalls to be resiliently urged outward for removable insertion of the rosin bar into the body.

Claim 10

The combination of a holder and a rosin bar for stringed instrument bow strings comprising: a body having sidewalls, end walls, a bottom and an open top, defining a internal cavity for removably receiving the rosin bar, the internal cavity having a shape complementary to the shape of the rosin bar; inwardly extending lips formed at the upper end of the sidewalls overlaying the internal cavity in the body to secure the rosin bar therein; aligned aperture means formed in the end walls of the body and extending from the open top for permitting a bow string to be drawn across the rosin bar while the rosin bar is in the body, said aperature being of less width and height than the internal cavity to further secure the rosin bar therein; and the body being formed of a shock absorbing and resilient material for protecting the rosin bar housed therein from damage from external forces and to enable the sidewalls to be resiliently urged outward for removable insertion of the rosin bar into the body.
