COLUMBIA PLANOORAPH CO.,WASHINGTON, n c.
i as "MUSIC-HOLDER.
Application filed August To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that L-MARION A. TRYENS,
tain Improvements West Chester, in the county of Chester and State of Pennsylvania, have invented cerin Music Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improved music holder adapted for general use but more particu larly for use by performers who carry their instruments. It is adapted especially for the attachment of music to band or otherv portable instruments and supports.
The improvements are characterized by the simplicity and efficiency .of the mechanism, by which a book is supported from the top and readily opened, closed or detached,
'' .while the sheets are readily adjusted and fixed in any desired relation so that any sheet or page can be brought into position for use and, securely held without covering part of the music, such sheets being held by is a perspective view in illustration of myv convenient connections permitting them to be reversed, clamped and 'unclamped very readily. i
In the accompanying drawings, Flgure l improved mechanism; Fig. 2 is an elevation in illustration of the mechanism detached from its support; Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and Fig.
I i 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4-4 rod 2 having a section 2 of Fig. 3. I
The mechanism, as illustrated in the drawings, comprises a stem 1, which may be fixed to any instrumentor supported in any desired manner, in combination with a which fits in the socket 1 of the stem.
- Across bar 3 is connected with the top of the rod 2 by a swivel comprising a cylindrical stud or pivot 2* on the top of the rod and a boss 3 on the cross bar, the boss containing a cylindrical socket 3' adapted to The stud 2 is the cross pin 2 whose ends are movable inthelongitudinal slots 3 of the boss (for eifecting engagement with or disengagement from the stud) and revoluble in the circular channel 3 of the boss, to per mit the cross bar to b'erevolved on the rod.
covers 5 and sheets is Specification of Letters latent.
the lower arms and properly adjusting the sleeve 7 the jaws or upper ends of such members can be book. These rings provide hinges for the otherwise disconnected parts 5 and 6 which are thereby supported from their tops so that they hang by gravity in the desired planes without buckling or displacement as in the case of side supports. The connections permit the covers 5 and sheets 6 to be readily turned over the cross bar 3, to open or close the book andto bring the desired page before the performer, while the opposite page of a sheet that has been turned over can be brought into position for use or the view of the performer by turning the cross bar with the book thereon about the supporting rod 2 through the action of the swivel.
A. rectangular sleeve 7 is movable on the rectangular section 2 of the rod, and latera lly extending bearings 7 are fixed to the sleeve.
Clamping members 8 are provided with bearings 8 which are j'ournaled on the bearings 7 A spring 9, having the coils 9 on the bearings 7 is provided with the extensions 9 which engage the lower ends of the lever members 8 and act to move their upper ends together. By pressing together of the clamping members 8 caused to engage the bottoms or lower edges of the covers and sheets of the music book to hold them firmly in any desired relation while preventing the cross bar from turning on its supporting rod, or the sheets and covers .can be readily disengaged when it is desired to close or adjust or turn the book, and it will be observed that the jaws of the clamp are adapted for so engaging the sheets that they are firmly held thereby and by the rings against the covers without covering the music.
When the music is not required the cross bar. with the book thereon is readily de tached and can be placed in a pocket of the performer or otherwise protected.
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. In a music holder, arod, means com prising loops for holding separate sheets so that they can be turned to opposite sides of said rod, and clamping means for engaging sheets on opposite sides of said rod.
2. In a music holder, a rod, a cross bar swiveled on said rod, loops carried by said I Patented.Qct.1 9.,1915.. 29, 1913,'Seria1;N0. 787,247. *Renewed April 24, 1915. Serial No. 23,767.
