An adapter device is disclosed for removably securing a carrying strap to a guitar or other musical instrument provided with a strap mounting button. The adapter device includes a housing defining a cavity for receipt of a clamp member movably mounted to the housing. The housing has a strap stud and a threaded nut for securing the housing to the carrying musical instrument. The clamp member has an elongate slot for receipt of a shaft of the mounting button of the musical instrument. The clamp member further includes an enlarged cavity for receipt of an enlarged circular head of the mounting button to prevent the mounting button from pulling out of the slot in the clamp member. A latch member is movably mounted to the housing and movable from an unlocking position to a locking position covering the clamp member and securing the clamp member within the cavity of the housing. tab is provided on the latch member to secure the latch member in the locking position.

1. An adapter device for removably securing a carrying strap to a mounting button of a musical instrument, comprising: a housing defining a frontward-oriented cavity and having a strap stud extending rearward from a rear wall of said housing, said rear wall arranged rearward of said cavity and delimiting said cavity;a clamp member movably mounted to said housing and defining an elongated, through slot, said slot having a width less than a width of said cavity, said clamp member being reversibly movable relative to said housing from a closed position in which said clamp member and said slot are at least partially positioned within said cavity of said housing, and further in which a space is delimited within said cavity, wherein said space is arranged rearward of and in communication with said slot and is wider than said slot, toan open position in which said clamp member is moved away from said housing and said cavity is exposed to a greater extent than in said closed position; anda latch member movably mounted to said housing, the latch member being movable from an unlocking position moved away from said clamp member and allowing said clamp member to move relative to said housing to a locking position covering a portion of said clamp member in the closed position and retaining said clamp member in said closed position. 2. The adapter device of claim 1, wherein the slot is delimited by opposite inner side walls of the clamp member, wherein the clamp member further comprises a seating surface forming an angle other than zero with said opposite inner side walls and facing the space when the clamp member is in the closed position. 3. The adapter device of claim 1, wherein an inner end of the slot is delimited by a rounded end wall. 4. The adapter device of claim 1, wherein the clamp member comprises an enlarged cavity adjacent to the slot, and further wherein the enlarged cavity is rearward of the slot when the clamp member is in the closed position. 5. The adapter device of claim 1, wherein the clamp member is pivotably connected to the housing. 6. The adapter device of claim 5, wherein the clamp member is pivotable relative to the housing about a rotation axis arranged along a left-to-right, lateral direction of the housing. 7. The adapter device of claim 6, wherein the clamp member further comprises a tapered surface on a base portion of the clamp member, the tapered surface configured to engage the housing to limit the pivoting of the clamp member away from the housing. 8. The adapter device of claim 1, wherein the latch member is pivotably connected to the housing. 9. The adapter device of claim 8, wherein the latch member is pivotable relative to the housing about a rotation axis arranged along a front-to-back, longitudinal direction of the housing. 10. The adapter device of claim 8, wherein the clamp member is pivotably connected to the housing, wherein the clamp member is pivotable about a first rotation axis and the latch member is pivotable about a second rotation axis perpendicular to the first rotation axis. 11. The adapter device of claim 1, wherein the strap stud is at least partially threaded. 12. The adapter device of claim 11, wherein the strap stud comprises a non-threaded portion extending from the rear wall of the housing and a threaded portion extending rearward from the non-threaded portion. 13. The adapter device of claim 12, wherein the non-threaded portion of the strap stud comprises a shoulder extending from the rear wall of the housing, wherein the shoulder is arranged rearward of the latch member when the latch member is in the locking position. 14. The adapter device of claim 1, wherein the clamp member comprises a base portion, a first arm extending from the base portion and a second arm extending from the base portion, the first and second arms defining the elongated slot therebetween. 15. The adapter device of claim 14, wherein the latch member comprises a front side which at least partially covers the first and second arms of the clamp member when the clamp member is in the closed position and the latch member is in the locking position. 16. The adapter device of claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises a notch in an outer surface of the housing and the latch member further comprises an inward protrusion engageable with the notch when the latch member is in the locking position. 17. The adapter device of claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises a downward projecting rib extending from a top side of said housing, wherein the downward projecting rib extends into the slot when the clamp member is in the closed position. 18. An adapter device for removably securing a carrying strap to a mounting button of a musical instrument, comprising: a housing defining a frontward-oriented cavity and having a strap stud extending rearward from a rear wall of said housing, said rear wall arranged rearward of said cavity and delimiting said cavity;a clamp member pivotably carried by said housing and defining an elongated, through slot, said slot having a width less than a width of said cavity, said clamp member being reversibly pivotable relative to said housing from a closed position in which said clamp member and said slot are at least partially positioned within said cavity of said housing, and further in which a space is delimited within said cavity, wherein said space is arranged rearward of and in communication with said slot and is wider than said slot, toan open position in which said clamp member is pivoted away from said housing and said cavity is exposed to a greater extent than in said closed position; anda latch member pivotably carried by said housing, the latch member being pivotable from an unlocking position pivoted away from said clamp member and allowing said clamp member to pivot relative to said housing to a locking position covering a portion of said clamp member in the closed position and retaining said clamp member in said closed position. 19. An adapter device for removably securing a carrying strap to a mounting button of a musical instrument, comprising: a housing defining a frontward-oriented cavity and having a strap stud extending rearward from a rear wall of said housing, said rear wall arranged rearward of said cavity and delimiting said cavity;a clamp member pivotably carried by said housing about a first rotation axis arranged in a left-to-right, lateral direction, the clamp member comprising an elongated, through slot, said slot having a width less than a width of said cavity, said clamp member being reversibly pivotably relative to said housing from a closed position in which said clamp member and said slot are at least partially positioned within said cavity of said housing, and further in which a space is delimited within said cavity, wherein said space is arranged rearward of and in communication with said slot and is wider than said slot, toan open position in which said clamp member is pivoted away from said housing and said cavity is exposed to a greater extent than in said closed position; anda latch member pivotably carried by said housing about a second rotation axis arranged in a front-to-back, longitudinal direction, the latch member being pivotably from an unlocking position pivoted away from said clamp member and allowing said clamp member to pivot relative to said housing to a locking position covering a portion of said clamp member in the closed position and retaining said clamp member in said closed position. 20.
