Abstract
1,133,360. Pianofortes. NIPPON GAKKI SEIZO K.K. 15 Dec., 1966 [17 Dec., 1965; 25 Dec., 1965], No. 56149/66. Heading G5J. A sounding board assembly 11 consists of a wooden board 10 made of longitudinal boards glued together, a bridge 13 (which may be in two parts) mounted on one surface of the board 10, an auxiliary board 14 and ribs 12 mounted as shown. The auxiliary board (which may be of maple), whose grain is substantially perpendicular to that of the sounding board, may be confined to the treble region (Fig. 7, not shown), or have the same surface area as the sounding board; it may also have greatest thickness at its centre portion and taper towards its edges (Fig. 6, not shown). The ribs may be mainly of spruce except in the treble region where they may be of a hard wood e.g. maple, birch or beech, or of a composite structure (Figs. 10, 11, not shown) with a hard wood member sandwiched between spruce outer members, or alternate ribs of spruce and maple may be secured to the sounding board (Fig. 9, not shown). Details of the dimensions of the ribs and auxiliary board are given.
