I suppose the horse is out of the barn, but for those who care about it, none of these shows an actual volute, which is a spiral curve such as the scroll on a violin or classical column. I believe we have Gibson to thank for the corruption of the word in the early 70's, but it could go back earlier. Somebody probably wanted a high-sounding word to use for the handstop, as it used to be called on a banjo neck. Then they heard that the violin scroll is called a volute, and voilá.

In Texas we call them "hand stoppers".
