HIRAM W. WHITE, OF ANDERSON, INDIANA.
IMPROVEMENT IN CHlN-RESTS FOR VlLlNS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 155,780, dated October 6, 1874; application filed February 6, 1874.
To all whom yit may concern:
Be it known that I, HIRAM W. VHITE, of Anderson, in the county of Madison and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful vImprovement in Chin-Rests for Violins, of which the following is a specification:
The subject of my invention is a chin-rest, provided with a hook-formed clamp connected to the said rest by a screw-shank, either with or without a spring, to facilitate its adjustment, as hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a violin with my improved chin-rest applied. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the rest and its accessories, showing the screw-shank made in the i'orln of a spiral spring. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the device in the form shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is alongitudinal section thereof in the form shown in Fig. l.
The chin-rest F is provided with an adjustable shank, G, either formed with a simple screw-thread, as illust-rated in Figs. 1 and 4i, or attached to a spiral spring, g', which itself constitutes the screw, either screw g or g t` ting within a threaded aperture in the base of the chin-rest. The head H of the shank G is extended laterally in proper shape to adapt it to serve as a clamp to secure the chin-rest in proper position on the hase of the violin.
The screw g or g permits the adjustment of the clamp to suit varying thicknesses in violins, while the spring g possesses the further advantage of rendcrin g it self-adj ustin g within certain limits, and causing it to bear on the violin with a yielding instead ot' a rigid pressnre. The spring also facilitates its application and removal.
In applying the rigid form of chin-rest, Fig. 4, to a violin having but little bead or prominence on its margin, the chin-rest is readily secured by the application of a small pin or wedge, if necessary. Either form is readily sprung over the edge of the violin, and is of great utilitj7 in preventing the violin from slipping from under the chin while being played on, and to take the wea-r from the pressure of the chin.
I claim as new- The chin-rest F, with clamp-hook H, attached to a shank, Gr, screwed adjustably into the said rest F, substantially as herein described.
HIRAM W. WHITE.
