J. J.- M. WEIGAND CARTON FOR MUSIC RECORD REELS Feb. 13, 1923.
Filed 001;. v7, 1921 fetented Feb. 13, 1192 JOHN J. M. WEIGAND, OF BELLEVUE, KENTUCKY, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO MATTHEW J. MALONEY, OF BELLEVUE, KENTUCKY.
CARTON FOB. MUSIC RECORD REELS.
Application filed October 7, 1921.
To all. whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J OHN J. -M. VVmcANn, a citiZen of the United States, and residing at Bellevue, in the county of Campbell and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cartons for Music Record Reels, of which the following speciiication is a full disclosure.
My invention relates to a carton or container for individually packing a record roll for use on mechanical instruments.
An object of the invention is to provide a carton or container for a record roll, in which the roll can be. permanently housed and journaled, allowing the roll and its container to be applied in a mechanical musical instrument, without removing the roll from the carton or container, for use in either unreeling or reeling the record web.
Other features and objects of the invention will be more fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in the drawings like characters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views, of which: i
' Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my improved music record roll carton or container.
Fig. 2 is a section on line 2, 2, Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, with parts broken away to show the music record roll journaled within the container, with the end of the roll provided with a clip ongaged through a slot in the container.
Fig. 41 is a partial section on line 4, 4, Fig.
Fig. 6 is a. section on line .6, 6, Fig. 5.
Fig. 7 is a central section through a moditied form of container.
Music record rolls, composed of a record strip of paper wound upon a reel or spool,
are commercially packed in individual containers or cartons which are suitably labeled and indexed for identification of the musical composition,- which the record strip mechanically reproduces when operatively connectedwi-thin a mechanicalmusical instrument.
Serial No. 506,071.
The record roll under the arevailing practice must always be removed from its identifying container for use, and is, therefore, frequently placed in the wrong container, and the repeated handling in removing and inserting the record roll for and after each instance of use is injurious to the record strip, as it is easily torn.
I, therefore, provide a carton or container from which the record roll is not removed for use. The reel or spool upon which the record strip or web is wound, is journaled within and accessible from the exterior of the opposite ends of the container, so that the spool housed within the container can be applied or inserted between the roll supporting spindles of the mechanical musical instrument in the usual manner, and as convenient as if the roll were removed from the container. There is no change in the operation of the musical instrument or roll either in unwinding the record sheet from the reel while playing or in rewinding it.
Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates the rectangular container, preferably made of cardboard material, with one of the walls 2 serving as a hinged cover for accessibility and having a tucking flap 3, as shown in Fig. 2. The wall 2 is adapted to be swung outwardly for opening the container for inserting or removing the record roll, consisting of a reel or spool 4 upon which the music record strip or web 5 is wound. The spool is of the commercial type of construction, having hubs 6 projecting or extending respectively from the opposite ends or heads of the spool. The hubs engage and journal each in a respective orifice 7 centrally through the end walls 8 of the container, the spool therefore being freely journaled within the container for unwinding or rewinding the music record strip from or upon the reel. The end. faces of the hubs of the spool are socketed and key-slotted for rotatively connecting the spool between the spindles 9, 9, of the mechanically operated musical instrument.
The front wall 10 of the container is slotted, as at 11, longitudinally approximately its entire length or dimension, which slot is upon the upper designed to freely admit the entire width of the record strip, said strip passing freely therethrough during unreehng or reeling.
The wall 10, on its interior face, is provided 11, a recess 1d of circular outline, in the medial portion of the wall as a pocket to receive the ring 15 tabbed centrally upon the end of the record strip. The extension 13 of the reenforcing strip reduces the area of the slot 11 at the central portion of the carton sufficiently to prevent the ring 15 from being drawn through the slot, into the interior of the container, leaving the ring disposed within the grasp of the operator, the recess in the, wall socketing the ring below the outside surface of the front Wall 10, so as not to form an obstruction.
As shown in Figs. 5 and (5, the record strip in use, as unwound from the spool, passes through the slot or opening 11. of the container, thence over the tracker-bar l7 and upon the reel 16 of themusical instrument, which is of general construction. The ring at the end of the record strip is anchored upon a hook recessed within the periphery of the reel 16.
The lips 13, which may be referred to as a part of the wall 10, are depressed from the face side of the wall and integral therewith instead of being an extension of the liner or reenforcing strip. They, aside from re ducing the opening area of the wall, serve to brake the traveling web both for unwinding and rewinding, and are especially'serviceable for rewinding to tautly coil the web upon thereel. For rewinding, the operator can grasp the carton with the thumb bearing lip and by pressing the same inward can regulate the reeling. tension. The lips also servetto tracker the web to avoid .undue sidewise motion of the web. The ring 15 is provided with a central cross-bar 20, as an anchoring bar, about which the end of the record web is tapered for securing the ring to the web, usually a fabric tape is e1n- .ployed and adhesively secured to the end of the web. The web is thereforesecured to the ring diametrically, whereby the ring is in a position angular to the plane of the web and crosswise of the carton slot, thereby "engaging both of the opposing lips and in plane therewith to block any possibility of the ring being drawn through the carton slot, and the ring is alwayspresented below the face surface of the carton.
.As shown in Fi 7, the opening in the container through which the record strip passes is located at one corner or edge of the container instead of centrally through one wall and the opening edges reenforced by a binder 18, the location of the opening being optional to meet service desire.
Thev container is of an internal dimension which will compactly house and sustain the record roll, but sufficiently loose for free r0 tation of the roll.
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. A container for music-rolls providing an enclosing box, having a lid and providing a lengthwise slot, end bearings in said box for the rotative support or a spool upon which a music sheet is wound, said slot pro viding passage. for said music sheet, and the ends of said spool of a structure adapted to engage with the roll-journals of aplayer piano, for rotation of said spool independently of said box. i
2. In a device of the class described, a container having its opposite ends apertured for supporting and journaling a reel within the container, a longitudinal slot in one of its side walls, through which a record web moving upon the reel'is drawn, and a reel having hubs projecting from its opposite endsand engaging into the apertures in the ends of said container and accessible from the exterior of the container for connection with the reel journals of a mechanical musical instrument.
3. A device for permanently housing a music record reel comprising a container having its opposite ends apertured for supporting and journalling a record reel within the container,and provided with an opening longitudinal with the axis of the 'reel through which a record strip for the reel passes, said opening being constricted at the medial portion thereof.
4. A device'of the character described, a container having its opposite ends centrally apertured for supporting and journaling therein a reel having a record web wound thereon, said container having a longitudinal slot parallel with the axis of the reel supported and journaled therein through which the record web is drawn, a lip extending to constrict the central portion of said slot and recess inwardly from the surface of said con tainer for receiving a ring secured to the end of the record. web, for preventing the into theapertured ends of said container,
In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name, as attested by the subscribing wit- 10 ness.
JOHN J. M. WEIGAND.
