Abstract

21,026. Moore, C., and Clay, J. W. Oct. 6. Drawings to Specification. Brass and like wind instruments.-In order to obtain correct intonation when two or more valves of a brass wind instrument are in operation, the valves, which are of the piston type, are provided with slotted extensions through which passes a cord or chain, one end of which is connected to a movable U-shaped tuning-slide through a system of connecting links and levers. When two or more valves are in operation simultaneously, pulleys attached to the valve extensions tighten the cord or chain, so that the U-shaped slide is shifted by an amount varying according to which valves are operated. The effect of operating a single valve is to take up the slack of the cord or chain without shifting the tuning-slide. A spring is provided to return the slide to its normal position.
