Abstract
1,172,381. Teaching music; keys; instruments. A. C. GILBERT CO. 22 Nov., 1966 [22 Nov., 1965], No. 52172/66. Headings G5J and G5X. A musical instrument has a sensing head which moves relative to an inserted tune card and illuminates indicators in accordance with the tune as read from the card. The card may have the tune coded on it by an arrangement of projections or holes, or may have conductive regions which are connected with contacts on the sensing head. In one form, a tune card 41 having integral projections 42 is inserted in a toy piano as shown. A carriage 50 having vertically aligned sensing pins 53 is moved horizontally across the card. The pins 53 sense the presence of the projections by deflecting spring contacts 51 into engagement with contact strips 49. The rate of traverse of the carriage is controlled by an escapement co-operating with a fixed rack. Depression of each key pivots a bail to increment the carriage. Lamps 28 located one beneath each key are selectively illuminated to indicate the next key to be depressed. The keys which are of plastics and have integral hammers strike sounding bars 21. A pin 83 projecting through a transverse slot is used to return the carriage.
