VIOLIN-CASE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,427, dated April 15, 1890. Application filed January 9,1890. Serial No. 336,345. (No model.)
To all whom 232? may concern.-
enable others skilled in the art to whichitappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The special object of the invention is to contrive certain means by which the bow of a violin may be held to the lid of its case without allowing the hair to touch the bracket or even the bow, except at its ends, thereby preventing the hair from being soiled and the bow from losing its proper shape.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a bottom plan view showing aviolincase lid with two of my brackets attached to the under side of the lid; Fig. 2, a detail view showing the two parts of the bracket separate from each other, and Fig. 3 another detail view showing the cam raised'on its pivot to allow the bow to be inserted in the concavity of the back of the bracket.
In the drawings, A represents the back of my bracket, with the trough or concavity a at the lower en d for the reception of the bow, and also the hole a, by which it may be screwed to the lid 0 of the case. The head of the screw is countersunk in the back in order that it may be out of the way of the cam B when it is turned on the pivot D, which is made fast to the back A.
The cam B is provided with the groove Z), which is inclined convexly fronrea-ch end toward the middle, so as to clamp the wood of the bow in the concavity a. I preferably make the bracket of'wood; but it may be made of any other suitable material.
Two of my brackets are sufficient for each violin-case; but more may be used if they should be deemed advantageous. I usually place them at a distance apart of about eighteen inches, and find that two will hold the bow in the desired position.
In order to place a bow in the brackets, the cams are lifted, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, the bow laid in the concavities a, and the cams pressed down upon it.
It will be observed in Fig. 1 of the drawings that the hair between the ends of the bow does not touch it or the bracket at any point; hence the hair is not soiled nor thebow allowed to lose its proper shape.
hat I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-
A clip for holding the bow of aviolin to the under side of the lid, consisting of the back plate A, provided with the outwardly-extending flange a, in combination with the swing ing plate B, provided with the cam-shaped groove Z), substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE A. HOLMES.
