Abstract

1,129,808. Valves. P. S. PROLL. 6 Dec., 1965 [1 June, 1965], No. 51576/65. Heading F2V. [Also in Division G5] The key 6 of a musical wind instrument comprises a finger pad 12, a valve portion 11 for closing a port 5 in the body 2 of the instrument, and an intermediate portion 7 connecting pad 12 and valve 11 and from which extends a resiliently flexible tongue 15 to restore the key to the part-closed position after operation; the pad 12, valve 11, intermediate portion 7 and tongue 15 all being constituted by a single unitary moulding of a plastics material. The two body halves 3 and 4 of the instrument, e.g. a toy clarinet, carry respectively integral confronting proportions 16, 21 each pair of which form a housing for the pivot pin 13 which may be integral with and project laterally from the intermediate portion 7 of the key. The tongue 15 also serves to retain the pivot pins within the housing after they have been inserted through recesses in the walls of the projections. The key may be provided with two integrally formed tongues, Fig. 9 (not shown), and a plurality of keys may be formed as a single unitary moulding, Fig. 10 (not shown), and the several keys assembled together in the instrument in one operation.
