and is: directed to the provision of a machine 1 of an improved construction -with which my corded sounds may be reproduced "clearly and with v ample volume; and which is'icdm' venient to use and of attractiveappearance? One featurelof :theinventionieside's' irt th 4 construction of? the sound-conveying passagi leading fromn the sound-boxfthis being suoh Th's-r invention relates to talkinginachil ies as to ofi'er-littleobstruction to"thefso iirt d f Waves passing thereth rough and to "permit of the free niovement of'the sound-box iindr' all conditions during-the reproduction of the record.

The preferred embodiment tion is illustrated in' "the accompanying drmvings il'rxwhich I l Figure 1 is anelevation' of the machine, Figs. 12 and 3 are detailviews partlyelef, \ationand partly in section, Fig. 4 i'saf'top' view of the machinewith the horn-removed, Fig. 5 is adetail view of the receptacle showing the cover" thereof in position'yto' support the tone-varm; Fig] 6- is a View similar to F'g.,4 showing' th'e tone-irrininthe inoperati i'e position, Fig '7 isa viewof the sound-box and stylus support, partly in' sec-- tionyan-dlFig; 8 is a sectional elevation show ing the speed regulating device.
Referring to these drawings, the machine consists of the usual motor-box 1; having'a motor therein arranged to drive; az vertioal shaft 2 which carries the-turn-table 3, the latter being adapted to receive a soundqec' 0rd 4 of disk form and to rotatethelatter.

Y seen that t e mac e is is an opening in which is mounted a receptacle, having vided ;for the stylus receptacle.
- tion will co-actwith the top ,of the motortwo compartments 18 and 19 therein. he compartment 18 is for new styli and the compartment 19 for used styli and I therefore provide means for support ing the tone-arm in such position that when the stylus carried thereby is released it will drop into the compartment 19. I utilize as the support for the tone-arm the cover pm- The :recepplate 20 secured :to the top 1: and \to this top plate is Zhi acover 21. This cover is provided wit a projection 22 such that when the cover is turned on its h l ge to the position in which it is shown in ig. 5, the projecof the motorbox to support the cover 21 in this position. Cover 21 18 provided with an ofi-set portion 23, cut away on one side to substantially the curvature of the tone-arm 8. Thus when a stylus has become used, the cover 21 may be turned back to permit of obtaininga new stylus from the compartment 18, and the tone-arm 8 may then be moved to its inoperative position restin upon the off-set 23 tacle has ,a .to
- of the cover '21, as s own in Fi 6. In
this position the st lus carried by t 1e soundbox will be direct y over the com artment 19, and the operator may then re ease the used stylus, the latter falling into the compartment 19; and as the tone-arm is then sup orted in ino erative position, he has bot hands free dninserting and securing the new stylusin position. If desired the compartment 19 may be provided with a cover-plate 24 having an opening therein, as shown in Figs. 4 and 6, which opening will be directly under the stylus carried by the-sound-box when the tone-arm is in in operative osition.
Fig. 7 s ows the means employed for securing the stylus in position. The stylusholder is shown at 25; it consists of an exteriorly threaded member which is slotted 1ongitudinallly at one end thereof and is pro vided wit an axial bore to receive a stylus 26. On the exterior of the member 25 is a tapered portion, as shown at 27. A nut 28 is threaded on the member 25 and this nut may be turned to car it into engagement with the tapered portion 27 with which it will coact to contract the member 25 and cause it to grip the stylus 26 therein.
slot of the member 29 and on which that member is ivotally mounted. The third arm of the lever projects downwardly and to its end is pivotally connected one end of a link 31, the other end of which is pivotally connected to a lever 82 which oper-- ates thebrake connected to thecentrifugat governor of the machine. The piece 30 is provided with a depending arm carrying an interiorly threaded sleeve 33 which re ceives one end of a rod 34, the opposite end of which passes throu h an opening in the side wall of the motorox. By turning the rod 34 it may be positioned as desired to limit the turning motion of the member 29 so that the latter may be readily moved to the osition which will give the desired speed of rotation of the motor.
- Having described my invention what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
a 1. A talking machine having a motor-box,
a rotatableturntable supported above the.
same, a pivoted tone-arm, a sound-box and stylus carried thereby, a stylus receptacle mounted on the motor-box, and a cover for said receptacle movable into position to support said tone-arm with the st lus of the sound-box over the receptacle, su stantially as set forth.
- 2. A talking machine having a motor-box, a rotatable turntable supported above the same, a pivoted tone-arm, a sound-box and stylus carried thereby, a stylus receptacle mounted on the motor-box and having two compartments therein, and a cover for said receptacle hinged at one end thereof and movable into position to support said tonearm with the stylus of the sound-box over one of said compartments, substantially as set forth.
This specification si ed and witnessed this 22nd day of Decem er, 1209.
