ROBERT C. GANIERE, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
VIOLIN ATTACHMENT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 2, 1920.
Application filed June 9, 1919. Serial No. 302.911.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ROBERT C. GANIERE, a citizen of the United Statw, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Violin Attachments, of which the following is a specification.
My object is to make a supporting attachment for violins, and my invention consists of the novel features herein shown, described and claimed.
Figure 1 is a perspective showing a violin provided with an attachment in accordance with the principles of my invention in use.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan of the violin, the scroll being broken away, and looking in the direction of the arrow 2 in Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the violin and showing the attachment as seen looking in the direction indicated by the arrow 3 in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4. is an enlarged plan view upon the same plane as Fig. 2 and showing the attachment removed from the violin, the view being taken looking in the direction indicated by the arrow 4 in Fig. 5.
Fig. 5 is an elevation looking in the direction indicated by the arrow 5 in Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 is a sectional detail on the line 66 of Fig. 5 and looking in the direction indicated by the arrow.
The violin 1 may or may not be provided with a chin rest 2. My attachment 3 is ap plied to the violin in position adjacent to the chin rest 2, or the place where the chin engages the violin when playing.
The details of the attachment 3 are as follows: The hooks 4 and 5 are adjustably connected together by a turn buckle 6, the turn buckle being a sleeve provided with right and left threads. Feet 7 and 8 are formed integral with the opposite ends of the hooks 1 and 5 from the turn buckle 6. In a like manner the hooks 9 and 10 are connected by a turn buckle 11 and have feet 12 and 13.
The turn buckles 6 and 11 are loosened and the feet 7 and 12 are placed on top of the violin, and the feet 8 and 13 are placed under the violin and properly spaced apart,
and the turn buckles 6 and 11 tightened to firmly grip the violin.
A supporting bar 14 consists of a hook 15, an arm 16 extending from the hook 15, a turn buckle 17 connected to the arm 16 and a hook 18 connected to the turn buckle 17.
The turn buckles 6 and 11 have annular grooves and the hooks 18 and 15 are placed in the grooves, and the turn buckle 17 tightened to make the supporting bar 14: rigid. A U-clip 19 formed of thin sheet metal is pivoted to the center of the support ing bar 14 by a rivet 20 inserted loosely through one end of the clip and through the supporting bar so that the other end of the clip projects outwardly and downwardly unobstructed.
By manipulating the turn buckles 6, 11 and 17 the attachment may be fitted to violins or instruments of difi'erent thicknesses and may be readily applied and removed.
In the practical operation the violin is grasped as usual and the free end of the clip 19 is inserted downwardly back of the collar 21 and the collar will form a good support for the violin.
Owing to the fact that the clip 19 is pivoted to the bar 14, the violin during the playing may be tilted as is usual while the clip 19 will remain stationary on the collar of the artist while the violin turns on the pivot pin 20, and as the hand 22 of the artist passes back and forth along the scroll to manipulate the strings the clip will hold the violin against the neck and in its place upon the collar bone.
Various changes may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention as claimed.
I claim: 1
A violin attachment comprising hooks connected by turnbuckles, a supporting bar comprising two hooks connected by a turn buckle, the hooks of the bar being adapted to engage the two first named turnbuckles and a U-shaped clip flexibly pivoted to the supporting bar and adapted to engage over and behind the collar of the player.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
R. C. GANIERE.
