Abstract
451,421. Musical instruments. OPPENHEIM, L., 4, Lancaster Gate, London. Feb. 5, 1935, No. 3743. [Class 88 (ii)] A musical instrument for the amusement and musical education of children &c. comprises a set of sonorous plates c or tubes &c., electromagnetically operated hammers or vibrators d, and a single contact plug or finger i for selectively closing the circuits of the hammers. The finger i on a flexible lead k may be inserted successively through holes l arranged in printed music in a sheet S to play a tune, making contact with underlying bus-bars connected each to the electromagnetic hammercontrol of its appropriate sounding-plate. The device may be made up to simulate a book, one cover consisting of or containing an apertured tune sheet. A battery g may be used as the source of current, or supply taken from mains through a transformer. The bus-bars may be arranged in sets in parallel to increase the length of tune playable. Contact pins may be arranged on the tune sheet instead of apertures.
