UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSEPH PRENZEL, OF HIRSOHBERG. GERMANY.
VIOLIN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 316,658, dated April 28, 1885.
Application filed September 19, 1884. (No model.) Patented in Germany August 7, 168], No. 17,413, and in Austria-Hungary May 24. 1882, No. 5,129 and No. 520,195.
Be it known that I, JOSEPH PRENZEL, a citizen of Germany, residing at Hirschberg, in the Empire of Germany, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Violins or Similar Stringed Instruments, (for which I have obtained patents in Germany, No. 17,413, bearing date August 7, 1881; in Austria, No. 5,129, bearing date May 24, 1882, and in Hungary, No. 20,195,bearing date May 24,1882) ofwhich the following is a Specification.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a longitudinal section of the neck of a violin at line W WV, Fig. II. Fig. 11 is a front view of the same; and Fig. III is a cross-section at line V V, Fig. II.
Similar letters represent similar parts in all the figures.
In the neck B of the violin a suitable U- shaped case, A, is fitted, in which the upright pins 0 are secured, supported on crosspieces d, inserted in the lower ends of the case A, and projecting some distance outside the top face,
to which the strings S of the instrument are fastened. These pins 0 are provided with small worm-wheels-b, placed inside the case A, into which a suitable screw-thread on the pegs a works. These pegs a are arranged in the sides of the neck of the vio]in,capable of turning freely, and are provided with the usual flattened thumb-pieces, 6. By turning the pegs c in either direction the pins 0 will be turned and the strings S tightened or loosened, as may be desired. The action of the screw-thread on the pegs a, with the worin-wheels Z) fast on the pins 0, will facilitate this operation, and at the same time secure the position of the pins 0. By this arrangement the back and part of the sides of the neck B of the instrument will be perfectly smooth for the free motion and sliding of the hand along the back of the instrument.
I am aware that it is not new to provide a guitar head with a frame having arbors to which the strings of a guitar are attached, nor to combine with these arbors wornrwheels and screws, whereby said arbors are turned to tighten the strings. This construction and combination I do not broadly claim; but
\Vhat I do claim is In a violin or similar stringed instruments, the combination of the U-shaped case A, fitted into the neck B of the instrument, the pins 0, with worm-wheels b fast on said pins 0 in the inside of the case A, the pegs a, provided with a screw-thread,and the strings S,substantially in the manner and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereofl have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOSEPH PRENZEL.

EDMUND EACH, HERM. PEIssKEE.
