UNITED STATEs PATENT GEEICE.
GEORG C. A. CLASS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN PIANO-PEDAL ATTACHMENTS.
.Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l 38,857, dated May 13, 1873 application filed March 22, 1873.
To all whom t may concer/n:
Be it known that I, GEORG (l. A. GLASS, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State ot' Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Childrens Piano-Pedal and Foot-Rest; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawing which forms part of this specification.
The drawing is a perspective view of my invention applied to a piano-lyre.
My invention has reference to pianos. Its object is to provide a rest or support for childrens feet, and at the same time provide means for operating the right or loud pedal. My invention, then, consists of a stand which is secured to the piano-lyre, and has a projecting arm provided with rests for the childs feet, and also with a rod which connects with the right pedal, the upper end of said rod being n wit-hin easy reaching distance of the childs feet.
Referring to the accompanying` drawing, A shows a piano-lyre with my improvements attached. B shows the stand, which is nearly trian gularin shape, havin g an adjusting-screw, b, by which the stand is supported in front and pressed against the lyre above, so as to hold said stand in position. C is the arm projecting from the stand, curved so as to project some distance from the lyre, and provided with the rests or supports c c. D represents a rod running from the supports and connecting with the right pedal, as shown. The rod is constructed so as to slide loosely in the opening through which it passes in the support, and is provided with a screw-cap, d, to prevent its losing its position, and also to ai'ord a suitable bearing for the childs foot in operating the pedal. The lower end of this rod is attached to the pedal by any suitable means, which will admit of its easy connection with and detachment from said pedal, the drawing exhibiting an elastic ring, through one side ot which the rod passes, the ring encircling the pedal, which rests upon the rod, thereby affording opportunity for operatin g the pedal by adults without removing' the stand.
1. The stand B having the extension at the rear to pass under the pedallyre, and having the rising and outwardly-projecting arm U with lateral foot-rests c, substantially as shown and described.
2. The movable rod D for operating the pedal, in combination with the base B having the rear extension to pass under the lyre and retain the stand in position, and having the rising and outwardly-projecting arm C with lateral foot-rests c, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. The screw Z1, in combination with the stand B having an extension to pass under the pedal, as shown, and having the arm C and foot-rests c, substantially as and for the purpose described.
4. The movable rod D secured to the pedal by means of an elastic band, in combination with the base and sta-nd B, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of March, 1873.
