BENJAMIN WEST TAYLOR, 013 ST. VITAL, MANITOBA, CANADA.
TALKING IVIACHINE.
Application filed. March 12, 1923. Serial No. 624,609.
To all whom it may con-corn:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN TEST TAYLOR, of the post ofiice of St. Vital, in the Province of Manitoba, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Talking Machines, of which the following is the specification.
The invention relates to improvements in talking machines and an object of the invention is to provide means for improving the quality and tone of the production played by the machine.
iVith the above more important object in view the invention consists essentially in equipping the machine with sound boards associated with the sound box, the parts being arranged and constructed as hereinafter more particularly described and later pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional View centrally through the machine, the tone arm, stylus and certain other parts being shown in side elevation.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detailed horizontal sectional view at 22 Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged detailed vertical sectional view at 33 Fig. 1.
In the drawing like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
The cabinet or casing 1 is for the greater part of the usual type, being provided with a hinged cover or top 2, a motor board 8, shelves at forthe records and an outlet opening 5 at the front provided with suitable shutters 6.
The motor board carries the customary motor, the motor operating the turn table 8 on which the record is placed in the usual manner. The rear part of the motor board also supports, in the usual manner, the tone arm 9 which carries the sound box 10, the sound box being equipped with the custcinary stylus or needle 11 adapted to operate on the record.
The rear end of the tone arm ispivoted in the usual manner and opens through the motor board to the amplifier 12. The run plifier hasthe forward end positioned i1niuediately to the rear of the opening 5 and it has the rear end circular and opposing the rear end of the tone arm and then it changes to a square shape which gradually increases in cross sectional area, with the result that the forward end is comparatively large and rectangular.
Beneath the amplifier I locate a sound board 13 which lies horizontally and which has the sides clear of the casing walls and the back edge clear of a further sound boa-rd, later described. The sound board 123 is carried by front and rear strips 1% and 15 secured to the front and back walls of the casing. The lower side of the amplifier at the front end is permanently connected by screws or suchlike 16 and 17 to the sound board, suitable spacers 18 and 19 being in sorted on the screws between the sound box and the sound board.
The back of the cabinet is closed by a vertically disposed sound board 20 which passes from the motor board to the bottom of the machine and has the edges thereof received within suitable grooves 21 and 22 provided in the rear corner posts of the easing.
To the rear or upper end of the amplifier I permanently fasten a horizontally disposed plate 23, the plate surrounding the amplifier and being provided rearwardy with legs 24: and 25 which contact with the sound board 20,
When the machine is playing these sound boards operate to materially improve the tone and quality of the production. It will be observed that the amplifier is only fastened by the screws 16 and 17 at the front, the rear end thereof being held in place by the legs 24- and 25 which rest against the sound board 20.
W hat I claim as my invention is 1. In a talking machine, a flaring, hornshaped amplifier having the large end extending horizontally and the small end vertically, and non-contacting, horizontal and vertical sound boards totally supporting the amplifier.
In a talking machine, the combination with an amplifier, of a horizontally disposed sound board underlying the amplifier and having the forward end thereof at the underside connected to and supporting the forward end of the amplifier, a vertically disposed sound board in the rear part of the machine and a plate secured to and support ing the upper end of the amplifier and presenting legs resting against the latter sound board and supporting the upper end of the amplifier from said sound board.
In a talking machine in combination,
a horizontally disposed sound board, a
vertically disposed sound boardspaced from.
and passing to the rear of the former sound board, a flaring amplifier above the horizontal sound board and in advance of thevert-ical sound board, means fastening the under side of the forward end of the amplifier tothe horizontal sound board. and legs permanently associated with the upper or small end of the amplifier, said legs being horizontally disposed and resting against the vertical sound board to support the upper end of the amplifier.
1. I a talking machine in combination, a horizontally disposed sound board, a vertically disposed sound board spaced from and passing to the rear of the former sound
