GRAPI'IOPHONE-NEEDLE BOX.
Application filed December 27, 1916.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, KENIGHI Kmvaeuonr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kekaha, in the county of Kauai, Territory of Hawaii, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Graphophone-Nee dle Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to single delivery receptacles, and particularly to receptacles for delivering phonograph needles one at a time.
One object of the present invention is to provide a novel and simple device of this character which is adapted to contain new or unused needles, and is also arranged to receive old or used needles.
Another object is to provide a device of this character in which there is provided novel means for delivering a single unused needle, and at the same time provide for the reception of a used needle.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing: Figure l is a top plan view of my improved needle receiving and feeding device.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view talgei pn the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a similar sectional view showing the parts in the position" which they assume when delivering an unused needle and for receiving a used one.
Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view on the line H of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a horizontal longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 66 of Fig. 2.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing-10 represents a box or casing of suitable proportions, and of general rectangular outline. In the upper portion of the box is disposed a downwardly tapering hopper 11, in which the new or unused needles are placed. In the bottom of the hopper is formed an outlet opening or slot 12, through which the needles are arranged to pass, one at a time. In the lower portion of Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 2'31, 193W.
Serial No. 139,146.
the box is formed a compartn'ient 125, which receives the old or used needles, a vertical passageway 14 being formed through the forward part of the box from the top to the said compartment.- A door 15 is provided for the compartment through which the used needles are extracted.
Formed through the interm diate portion of the box, below the bottom of the hopper, and from the front to the rear, is a channel 16. Disposed for slidable movement in this channel is an elongated and inverted channel member 17, the rear end of which is turned downwardly, as 1S, and. is adapted to be engaged by a resilient detent 19. A. coil spring 20 is disposed between the adja cent wall of the box and the downturned portion, said spring having a normal tendency to urge the channel member toward the forward side of the box. The detent may be released, however, by means of a vertical operating stem 21, which rests on the detent and extends upwardly through the top of the box where it is provided with a finger button 22. A transverse slot 23 is formed in the horizontal portion of the channel member, intermediate its length, and arranged to be normally disposed directly beneath the open bottom of the hopper for receiving a needle. Pivotally mounted below this slot is a small receptacle 2%, which re ceives the needles from the hopper, as will be apparent from an inspection of the drawing. The rear end of the receptacle or tray 2% has secured thereto a depending weight 25, said weight being adapted to swing the rear end of the tray downwardly when the channel member is in the limit of its forward movement. Also formed through the horizontal portion of the channel member, but forwardly of the opening 23, is a second opening 26, which, when the channel member is in its foremost position registers with the intermediate portion of the passageway 14 to permit the used needles to pass to the compartment 13. In the upper wall of the channel 16, between the passageway 14: and the bottom of the hopper, there is formed an upwardly extending recess 27, into which the forward end of the tray is adapted to swing when the same tilts under the influence of the weight. The forward or outer end of the channel member is provided with a finger button 28, by means of which the Said member may be pushed into normal p0- sition and into interlocking engagement with the detent. A suitable cover 29 is movably connected to the upper open end of the hopper.
In normal position the parts are as shown in Fig. 2, and when it is desired to get a needle, the button 22 is pressed. This causes the stem to depress the detent and release the latter from the channel member. The coil spring immediately forces the channel member forwardly through the channel until the lug 30 carried by the channel member, engages with the front Wall of the box. This disposes the opening 23 in registry with the passageway i, and permits the old needle "to drop into the compartment 13, when said needle is inserted in the upper end of the said passageway. The tray Will also be disposed beneath the recess 27, Whereby the Weight will tilt the tray rearivardly and permit the needle contained in the tray, to fall therefrom. The needle drops on an incline 31, which forms a portion of the front end of the lower wall of the channel. From here the person can readily get the needle.
To restore the parts to normal position, the bottom of the channel member is pushed inwardly until the detent engages With the downturned portion of the channel member at the rear end thereof.
\Vhat is claimed is: a
1. A delivering and receiving receptacle for graphophone needles, consisting of a box, a hopper for unused needles mounted in the boX, a sliding member disposed beneath the hopper, means in the box for receiving and retaining used needles, the sliding, member being formed With an opening for receiving the used needles therethrough, and a gravity actuated tray carried by the sliding member for receiving an unused needle from the hopper and discharging the same from the box.
2. ii graphophone needle holder comprising a box, a hopper for holding unused needles, a sliding member disposed beneath the hopper and formed With a pair of open ings, a pivoted tray mounted beneath one of the openings, a Weight carried by the tray for tilting the same to discharge a needle, a spring engaging with one end of the sliding member to urge the same outwardly, a re silient detent engaging with the sliding member for holding the same in needle receiving position, and an operating stem for releasing the detent.
In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature, in the presence of two Witnesses.
