Abstract

An effector mounting plate is provided, which can protect wiring when carried while enabling work on the wiring. A back surface side of a plate is covered by a back case, and wiring (not shown) can be stored in a space formed between the plate and the back case. Therefore, when the plate and the back case are used as an effect pedal or carried, an external force can be prevented from acting on the wiring. Therefore, the wiring (jack) can be prevented from falling off an effector or from being forcibly bent and broken. By removing fastening screws, the back case can be removed from the plate to open the back surface side of the plate. Therefore, work on the wiring such as work of connecting/disconnecting the wiring to/from the effector and work of checking the wiring before performance can be easily performed.

Dependent claims

An effector mounting plate, comprising:

a mounting member which is formed with a through hole penetrating between a mounting surface, on which an effector is mounted, and a back surface opposite to the mounting surface;
a back surface side member which covers a back surface side of the mounting member and is mounted on the mounting member in a state of forming a space with the back surface of the mounting member;
a first means comprising a pair of rotation shafts for enabling work in the space;
and
a connecting member,
wherein the back surface side member comprises an exterior member made of a resin material and formed in a box shape with a mounting member side opened, and a frame made of a metal material and fixed to the exterior member, and
the mounting member is mounted on the frame of the back surface side member,
the mounting member comprises a mounted main body on which the mounting surface is formed, and a mounted side wall formed along an outer edge of the mounted main body, wherein the mounted side wall is mounted on the frame of the back surface side member, and
the connecting member connects between a front surface of the back surface side member and a back surface of the mounted main body.
