H. B. BRUCK BENCH FOR PLAYER AND OTHER PIANOS Filed July 15 1921 Patented Jan. 1, 1924.
UNITE.
HENRY 1B. BRUCK, F CLEVELAND, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE H. B. BRUCK & SONS COM- PANY, A CORPORATION OF OHIO.
BENCH FOR PLAYER AND OTHER PIANOS.
Application filed July 15,
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, HENRY B. BRUCE, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Benches for Player and Other Pianos, of which I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The objects of the invention are to provide a practical eflicient and convenient form of bench for a piano player which is provided with storage pockets or compartments for the music rolls.
These compartments are positioned, one on each side of the player, so as to be easily accessible to the player without leaving his seat, and the compartments are further arranged to hold the rolls in such a position 7 that they can be selectively chosen and removed from the compartments and returned thereto without disturbing the other rolls.
Also a third compartment is formed underneath the seat, in which sheet music can be deposited if desired.
To accomplish these results, a bench is constructed provided with a flat seat portion, and with vertical compartments at each end thereof, the walls of which form the legs or supports for the bench. Also underneath the seat portion a horizontal compartment is formed.
Conveniently arranged covers for these compartments are also provided.
The invention is hereinafter described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a plan of the improved bench; Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, a portion of one leg being broken away to show one of the vertical compartments; Fig. 3 is an end elevation thereof, the sliding end plate being removed to show the end of the hinged seat; Fig. 4 is a side elevation of one end of the bench, showing a hinged top cover for the leg compartment; Fig. 5 is a similar'view showing a hinged side cover for this compartment.
In these views A, A, are narrow vertical compartments extending substantially over the entire width of the seat.
These compartments are employed as containers' for the rolls B, B, which stand upon II, II, which are embedded in the cover 1921. Serial No. 485,129.
end therein so that they can be selectively removed therefrom. These leg members are connected at their upper ends by means of the trough shaped frame C. Upon one side of this frame is hinged at I), the wide cover E, which extends to the vertical compartments A, at each end and when lowered in place forms the seat for the player. In this manner the frame and cover form a horizontal compartment useful for storing sheet music. Pivotal dogs K, K, are used to elevate the rear side of the seat.
The verticalcompartments are provided with flat covers F, F, whichare preferably mounted upon the horizontal rods G, G, which are slidingly movable in the tubes E of the bench.
When these covers are slid outwardly the vertical compartments are disclosed.
The covers also project at each side of the player, so that they can be used to lay rolls upon temporarily.
Ornamental feet can be attached at I, I, tothe lower ends of the vertical compartments.
In Fig. 3, the cover for the end leg receptacle has been removed to show the hinged seat, I). In Fig. 4:, a horizontal hinged cover, J, for the leg compartment, A, is shown. This cover may be hinged upon either end of the bench. In Fig. 5, a vertical door, or cover, J, is shown for the leg compartment, hinged to the wall of the leg compartment, at J over an opening in the wall, thus permitting the rolls to be inserted and removed from the vertical side of the leg.
The piano stool thus constructed is doubly useful, and while the compartments in the legs are spacious enough to contain easily six or more music rolls, and they make a neat and attractive appearance, and do not seem to be larger than the legs ordinarily employed for this purpose.
Having described the invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a bench for a player piano, the combination with a horizontal receptacle, of hollow legs supporting the same, the aforesaid legs comprising pockets or compartments within which music rolls for a player piano may be stored, a hinged cover for the body of said receptacle, horizontal supports embedded in the ends of said hinged cover, and
separate covers for the aforesaid legs, said covers slidingly movable in said supports.
2. In a bench for a player piano, the combination With a horizontal receptacle and a cover therefor, of hollow legs supporting the same, the aforesaid legs comprising vertical compartments Within which music rolls for a player piano can be stored, and separate slidingly movable covers for the separate compartments, the ends of the cover for the horizontal receptacle being provided With longitudinal tubes embedded in its ends, and said covers for said compartments being provided with projecting rods slidingly movable in said tubes.
3. In a bench for a player piano, in combination, a horizontal trough shaped frame, a seat serving as a cover therefor, a vertical pocket compartment secured to each end of said frame, the Walls of said vertical compartments forming legs for said bench, said vertical compartments being open at the top, covers for said vertical compartments, and
supporting guides projecting horizontally from the ends of said covers, and complementary engaging members therefor in the ends of said seat.
4. In a bench for a player piano in combination, a horizontal trough shaped frame, a seat serving as a cover therefor, a vertical pocket compartment secured to each end of said frame, the Walls of said vertical compartments forming legs for said bench, said vertical compartments being open at the top, separate covers for said vertical compartments, rods projecting horizontally from said separate covers and tubes in the ends of the cover of said trough in Which said rods are slidingly movable.
In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand this 20th day of June, 1920.
HENRY B. BRUCK In presence of VVM. M. MONROE,
I. H. MILLER.
