MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.
Application filed January T0 (/ZZ w 700721 M may c0ncern P e it known that We, CLAINOE M. fiinnns and VALTR Wonnren, citizens of the United Stades, residing at Bellefontaine in the county 01" Logan and State of Ohio, have invented new and usetul Improvemonts in Ivlusical Instruments of which the tollowing is a specification.
This invention relates to a device for producing musical sounds, the general objeet et the invention being to provide a strin et steel Witii mean for supporting the saine in such a manner that when struck with a hammer or the like the strip Will give ofmusical sounds.
nother object of the invention is to se form the supporting means that the device can be held in the lap with one hand adjusting tire steel strip and the other using the hammer.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinatter ully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing the invention in detail, referenee Will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a view showing how the device is used.
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of the de- Vice.
Figure 3 is a top plan view.
In these views, 1 indicates a tapered strip 0l tempered steel which has its large end clamped betwecn the two halves of a base 2, this base being of cy1indrical form with enlargred ends. The end of the strip which is hcld by the base is lient so that the strip ex tends upwardly at an angle irom the base. Supporting members 3 and 4, each formed of a wire trame With its ends passing through the base and held in position by nuts 5, serve to hold the device in the lap of the user, as shown in Figure 1. The member 3 has its major part fiat and its outer end curved, as at 6, so that it Will extend across 31, 1925. eria1 No. 6,095.
tl1e ]ap and engage one of the legs of the user Wliile the member 4 curves clownwardly to engage the other les: Boite 7 hold the two parts et the base in clan1pin; z position on tire strip and the ends et the trames 3 and 4; with the bolts thereon also act to hold the two parts of the base together.
As shown in Figure 1, the device is placed on tire ap et flic user and is held thereon by the curved parts of the trames 3 and 4 engaging the legs of the user. The blade or strip 1 extends upwardly and its small end is adapted to be grasped by one hand of the user while the other hand holds the hammer 8 or other device for striking the strip. The strip is adjusted by the left hand so as to produce the different musical notes as it is struck by the hanuner.
lVc pret'er to call this device a musical buck and it is designed to take the place et the saw blade now used for producing musical sounds.
It is thought from the foregoing description thatthe advantages and novel tentures et the invention will be readily apparent.
We desire it to be understood that We nm malze changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement et the several parts. provided that such changes tall within the scope of the appended claims.
\Vhat we daim is:
1. A. musical device, comprising a support-ing part havingg curved ends for engagingthe legs of the user when the supporting part is set in the lap of the user a base connected with the suppo1ting part and a blade member having onc end eonnectd with the base.
A device oi the class described comprxsing a tapered steel strip, a base to which one end of the Strip is connected the other end heing l1eld by the hand of the user, supporting members connected With the base and haviug curvcd portions .ior engaging thc legs of the user when the device is held in the lap.
ntestimony whereot we afiix our signatures.
