JOHN A. MCVICKAR, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
TRAY FOR PHONOGRAPH-RECORDS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 16, 1921.
Application filed March 8, 1920. Serial No. 364,151.
T 0 aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, Jon): A. McVIcKAR, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Trays for Phonograph-Records, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to phonographs and particularly to a device used in connection with disk type phonographs and has for an object to provide means for collecting dust or wax that may be removed from the surface of the phonograph record by the stylus and preventing the spread of this material over the cabinet of the machine, another object is to provide a convenient means of removing the record from the turntable of the machine without touching it with the fingers. These objects are obtained by the arrangement shown in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 shows a plan view of a honograph with my invention in place,
ig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section, corresponding to Fig. l and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a tray in which the record is placed.
This invention includes the use of a tray of paper or similar material used as a container for the record while it is on the turntable. The edges of the tray extend above the record and it is somewhat larger in diameter than the record thus providin an annular space between the edge of the record and the slde of the tray. This invention is particularly useful when recording on records of soft wax or when shaving these rec ords as the shavings cut from the surface of the wax may be blown into the annular space, this invention includes a device that may be used to deflect these shavings into this space as the record is rotated. The record and tray may be removed together by gripping the edges of the tray and when turned on its edge the record can easily be taken out of the tray. The tray is. preferably. made of strong rough paper. stiffened, if necessary, by'wax and it may be used as an advertising medium in addition to the purposes mentioned.
In the drawings ll represents the phonograph cabinet. having the top 1:2 on which the turntable 13 is superposed rotating on the mechanism stem H. ()n this turntable the tray 16 is placed and inside the tray the record 15 is located. The machine is provided with the usual type of tone arm 21 having a recording or reproducing head 22 carrying a stylus in a spiral groove over the face of the record by any of several means now well known for this purpose.
The tray may be made from stiff paper or a metallic tray can be used such, for instance, as would make a container for the record. It is pressed into the shape shown in Fig. 3 having the curled over edges 25 and is larger in diameter than the record leaving the annular space 26 between the record and tray. Advertising matter such as indicated in Fig. 3 may be printed on the tray.
As illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the record is made from soft wax and the recording head is cutting a shaving 23 therefrom, the purpose of the tray is'to collect these shavin s and prevent them from smearing the ca inet of the machine. These shavings may be blown to the edge where they will collect in the space 26. the height of the edge 25 above the record surface facilitates this operation. The deflecting piece 30 made from stiff paper or felt clamping the edge of the tray and bearing against the center stem of the turntable as shown may be provided to collect the shavings and deflect them into the space 26 as the record is rotated. This piece is detachable for the purpose of replacing records. Its pressure on the record face may be varied by adjustable weights indicated at 31.
When removing the record the tray and record can be removed together by gripping the edges 25. As the tray is flexible it can be easily deflected to expose the edge of the record whereby the latter may be removed and the shavings can then be dumped from the tray.
Having thus described my invention I claim:
In combination. a phonograph with a turntable, a tray placed on said turntable, a record placed within said tray. a stylus cutting a shaving from said record. a deflecting member supported by said tray for collecting said shavings.
Signed at New York. in the county of New York and State of New York. this 26th day of Febya A. D. 1920.
JOHN A. MCVICKAR.
