VIOLIN-SUPPORTING ATTACHMENT FOR MUSIC-STANDS.
Specification. of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 8, 1916.
. Application filed January 19, 1911. Serial No. 603,462.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES C. SCHLIECK- ERT, a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Violin-Supporting Attachments for Music- Stands, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to violin supporting attachment for music stands, and contemplates improved features of construction and operation.
Attaclnnents for music stands have heretofore been used, but such attachments are not adaptable for supporting violins, in that they are too rigid. A violin is of delicate construction and, must be so supported that there will be no danger of breakage when so supported.
The object of my invention is therefore to provide an attachment comprising a body part to be adjustably applied to a music stand, and a fork member swiveled to the body part and adapted to receive the neck of the violin and to engage the string pins thereof. Although the string pins of the violin are staggered in the head of the violin, the swiveled fork will engage these pinsand will allow the violin to assume a perfectly natural and vertical position. Furthermore, the fork support being free to swing, no injury can result to the violin if, during its suspension, it he accidentally struck.
In the accompanying drawings my invention is clearly shown.
In these drawings Figure l is a perspective view of a music stand, showing the attachment applied thereto, Fig. 2 is a plan view of the attachment, Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on plane 33, Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a front view of the attachment, showing the manner of suspension therefrom of a violin.
The main feature of the invention is the swiveling of the fork member whereby said member may readily swing about its axis when a violin is supported thereon, and this feature may of course be carried out by a variety of constructions. As shown in the drawings, the body part 5 of the attachment is a cylindrical block having a transverse cylindrical passageway 6 for receiving the tubular section a of a music stand M, such as represented in Fig. 1. A screw 7 threads axially into the end of the block 5 and has a knurled head 8, the screw engaging with the music holder to securely lock the block 5 thereto, as indicated in Fig. 1. The fork member shown comprises a cylindrical block 9 which receives a U-shaped wire or frame 10 whose limbs b and c are parallel and serve to receive the neck of the violin and to engage the string pins. As shown, this fork or U- frame is secured. to the block 9 by its base 11 passing through and secured in an opening 12 through the block 9. The outer ends of the limbs b and c are also tilted upwardly slightly, as shown, in order that the violin will be prevented from slipping off. The means shown for swiveling the block 9 to the block 5 comprises the threaded stud 13 extending axially from the block 5 and into the threaded axial opening 14 in block 9. The opening 14 is of sufliciently greater diameter than the diameter of the stud 13 so that the block 9 can readily rotate axially with reference to the block 5 to allow the violin suspended from the U-frame to swing readily.
Fig. 4 shows the upper end of a violin V in position on the attachment. As is well known, the string pins p on the violin are suspended, as shown, and when the violin now is applied to the attachment opposite pins will engage limbs b and 0 respectively, and owing to the swiveled connection of the block 9 the violin will readily assume a vertical position, and if the violin should he accidentally bumped or swung the block 9 will readily swing therewith without in any way causing any binding or other injurious engagement of the U-frame with the violin neck or the pins thereof, or without causing any disturbance of the tuning adjustment of the pins. The upwardly inclined ends of the U-frame will prevent the violin from leaving the attachment. Therefore when the violin is not in use it will be suspended out of harms way and in such manner that it cannot be injured by being accidentally struck or swung.
Having thus described my invention, I desire to secure the following claim by Letters Patent:
A violin supporting attachment for music stands comprising a body part having a passageway for receiving the stem of a music stand and having a set screw for entering said passageway and clamping said stem, :1
shank part being threaded to loosely receive threadedstud extended laterally from said body, and a fork member comprising a shank part and prongs (parallel therewith, said bumped or moved to thus prevent injury 10 thereto.
In witness whereof I hereunto subscribe my name this 18th day of January, A. D.
