MICHAEL J. DUFFY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
RECORD-CABINET.
Frasassi.
To aZZ whom t mag/concern:
Be it known that I, MICHAEL J. DUFFY,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Record-Cabinets,
of which the following is a specification.
rllhis invention relates to musicalcabinets,
and particularly to cabinets for holdingdisk i 'so Ycordance ywith the invention,
- modified form; and
records for talking machines.
The primary object ofthe invention is to provide a holder or cabinet for containing the disks, in which a great number may be stored in a small amount of space. A further object of the invention is to provide means for holding the records safely so that the saine can not become broken, scratched `or interiiiingled, and which includes improved means for withdrawing or ejecting the various records from theirstorage racks or spaces.
i A still further object of the invention'is Y' parts, which has its various movable elements lso assembled as to lessen the possibility of wear, breakage, or derangement of the same, which shall prove ornamental, and which shall prove thoroughly eiiicient in the at-V tainment of the ends for which it is designed.
2QWith these objects in view, together with others which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the novel formation, combination, and arrangement of parts, all as will be described more fully hereinafter, illustrated inthe drawings, and particularly pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a front elevation, parts broken away, of a record cabinet constructed in acthe doors of the cabinet being shown in open position;
Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially upon line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken upon line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view taken through a disk holding drum of slightly Fig. 5 is a horizontal section taken upon line 5&5 of Fig. 4. Y v
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented NOV. 215, 1919.
` Application filed January 25, 1917. Serial No. 144,503.
in carrying out the invention, a suitable case or cabinet of the desired artistic design is employed, and within which a rotatable disk holding' drum is mounted. The drum is provided with spaces or compartments for receiving the various records, and mechanism is associated with each of the compartments for causing the records held therein to be projected quickly and easily without danger ofbreakingv'or injuring the record,.and with the exercise of but little effort. The drum is so constructed that the records may be placed in the racks thereof from different sides of the'drum, whereby a great quantity of records may be contained within the cabinet'and by rotatably mounting the drum within the case, the said drum may be quickly and easily turned to present the desired side to the open end of the cabinet. l Referring to the drawings, 10 represent generally the cabinet, which in the present instance includes a hollow casing mounted tom and top boards 14 and 15V are equipped with centrally arranged plates 16 and 17,
the former of which carries a central and downwardly extending ball 18 adapted to rest within a socket or bearing member 19 secured to the bottom of the cabinet or case. 1 Y
If desired, ball bearings may be arranged in the socket, so as to minimize friction of the parts. The plate 17 on the upper end of the drum is provided with an upwardly eX- tending stem 20, which rests within an aperture formed centrally of a bea-ring block 21 secured to the under face of the top of the cabinet. This arrangement permits of the drum being freely rotated, so as to present its various faces to the cabinet openin i 2q'lhe drum isequipped with a horizontal partition or floor 22 midway the upper and lower ends of the drum, which divides the drum into upper and lower compartments.
IA vertical centrally disposed partition 23 also divides the drum into front andv rear compartments. rI`h1s particular arrangement jot partitions Vdivides the drum 1n the present instance into four separate and distinct compartments. y
Each of the compartments provided in the drum contains a .plurality of storageV spaces or slots of sullicient dimension toicontain the phonograph disk records, and ver- Y ticallydisposed partitions 24 are arranged in the various compartments to provide these storage places. The lpartitions in the present instancelcomprise strips arranged in spaced relation throughout each compartment and are positionedapart a distance slightly greater than the distance of a disk record. The depth o'f-each V'compartment-,V in the drum is such that a disk record when inserted in any of the various disk slots will y,be wholly confined therein, and will n ot project at its outer periphery beyond the outer edge of the drum.
Associated witheach ofthe disk receiving vslots or chambers is an egectmg mechanism for causing the outer edge of the records contained therein to protrude from the compartment a distance sutlicient toenable the same to be readily grasped by the fingers for removing the records. Pivoted within each slot or chamber, and at the inner end thereof is an ejecting lever 25. This lever is pivoted-as at 26 intermediate its ends, and the with a pair of spaced slots 29 -disposed lon-VV gitudinally of the bar, through which pins 30 extend. These pins maintain the sliding bars in proper horizontal position, and permit'of the said bars being moved a; short distance rearwardly. The outer ends of the various sliding bars are equippedwith push buttons or the like 31, which may have inscribed thereon numbers or other data indic- 'ativeV of the title of the record contained within the particularV chamber or slot.
In Figs. Lland 5 or' thedrawings, there is illustrated a slightly-modified form of record con-taining cabinet. In this form of the invention, the drum is circularin cross section, and a vertically and centrally arranged post35 forms the axis of the drum. The ends of the post are' equipped with a ball andpin so as to. rotatably support the setsand the spaces between the various sets may be utilized for containing or" storing "various'parts of the talking machine equipment. The oor of the ydrum in each'ot the spaces may be provided with pockets or cups,
86 to contain the stylus,l needles foruse in the reproducer of the instrument. AIt is `also apparent that other parts of, the equipment.
may be placed within the spaces. l
The partitions forming-the racks for the disk records vare substantially the sameias those described in connection with the preferred embodiment of the invention, and the ejecting mechanism also is of similar construction. In the modified form, however, the record ejecting levers are pivoted upon the central post 35 ofthe drum., v
From the foregoing, it is obviousjthat I have provided a very simple andrthoroughly efcient cabinet for housing or storing disk records, and one wherein" therecords are safely held, and from which therecords may be quickly and easily extracted when desired. 1The various. sides of. the drum may be quickly broughtfinto position convenient for the extraction of records by rotating the drum; It will'ralso be Vobserved that cabinets constructed lin accordance with the invention are capable of hous-` the ejecting levers 25 may be provided with facings of felt, rubber, or the like, sorthat the records engaged by the levers will not be scratched or scarred in the ejecting operatlOIl. i 1 'Y l 'l While the present Vdisclosure is that of what I believe to be the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, but that various changesmay be made in the construction, arrangement, and proportion of parts, without departing from the spirit of the invention, as defined in the appended claim. v What is claimed isy- Y. y
A record cabinet-comprising'a pair of superposd disks, a 'relatively large cylindrical member located vcentrally ofthe'disks to retain the same in spaced relation, a spherical member formed upon the lower end of the cylindrical member, a trunnion formed? upon the upper end of saidV member,ga plurality urging vthe upper ends of the leversoutwardly, a plurality of divisionV strips connecting the disk and arranged circumferen- Y cal member,
-upper portion tially tliereabout in spaced relation, a plurality of radial extending bars movably mounted between said strip and engaging the upper ends of the levers, a cabinet, a plate having a ball raceway located in the lower portion thereof to receive the spheriand an apertured plate in the thereof to receive the trunnion whereby theJ record support may be rotated within the cabinet.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
