not in use or while one record is being substi tuted for another, this application being a application Serial No. AS572. A device suitable for carrying our'invention into efiectis illustrated in the accompanying drawings. e wish it understood, however, that we do not limit ourselves to either the exact construction or arrangement of parts shown, as various changes maybe made therein without departing from the spirit'and scope ofour invention.

. In the drawings-Figure 1 is a view in side elevation, partly insection, illustrating the application of our invention to a. well known disk type of talking machine, and

Fig. 2 is. asectional view taken on the line it in such position, locking device, which 8 8?, of Fig.1.

Referring now to the drawings, 1 represents the'casing of the machine, 2 the rotating table thereof which serves as a support for the record 3. ing by screws 4:, there is a bracket arm 5, provided with a sleeve like oft-set 6, in which the small end of the horn -7 and the shaped end of the taper arm 8 are fitted in the usual manner; At the outer free end of the taper arm, the sound-box or reproducer 9 is secured. The bracket sleeve 6 is slottedat diametrically opposite points, as indicated at 10,to receive studs, pins, screws .or the like 11, which serve to support the taper arm in suspended relation in the sleeve, in a manner to permit free vertical and horizontal movement thereof.

When the machine is not in use or during the time required to substitute one record for another, it is customary to swing the reprodueer upward, as indicated in dotted lines and in order'to 'yieldingly maintain we employ a-suitahle is arranged to co- TALKING-MACHINE.

operate with the taper arm, as shown'in Fig. 1. The locking device, as herein emknown 'princi ple of a pair of togglejlevers, is formed by the elbow 12 ofthe taper arm and turns about thecenter 11 and the 'other, by the link 13, pivoted'to the elbow an and turning about the center 15. As arranged, it will be seen ducer is in contact with the record, as represented in full'lines; the pivot pin l twill be shiftedto the left" of the line of centers indicated at 16 and when -'swung{ upward,

opposite side there'oflas representedin dotted lines. v I filhe bracket arm is bored'out as indicated at 17, to receive a headed pin 18,"to the upper projecting end of I A spring '19, interposed between the lower end of the pin and atten s on screw 20, acts through the pin to maintam the pivot 14- either to the right or left of centers,

ducer is raised or lowered.

From the foregoing it willbe when the reprodueer is 'swungupward, the coacting with the toggle locking device, .will yieldingly support it' in such elevated position and on lowering the reproducer, the action of the spring will be reversed and it will then tend to maintain the reproducer in engagement with the record, under more or less pressure, which maybe varied as desired by turning screw either to the right or left.

The particular form, arrangemenh position, etc., of the locking device is unimportant and may be changed in any manner desired, it being essential'only that it shall 0perate on the toggle principle, as above described. i

Having, therefore, described our invention,,we claim:

1. In. a talking machine, the combination of a rotating record, a cooperating reproducer, a spring opposing movement of :the reproducer away from the record, and means for reversing the action of the spring when 1905, Serial No. 243,872, ,iii'vid a and on; applic'ation filed reismar ii that when the reprowhich the'link '13 the tension one of'wh'ich a the depending 'upon' the 4 11305111010 of the reproducer asaat" the same time, yields as required, to permit the pivot 14. to swing across the line, asthereproseen, that.
