STEEL FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
Application filed August 23. 1923. Serial No. 658,923.
thumb and finger without danger of slipping and with a minimum of effort.
Another object of my steel is to provide 10 a reinforcing at the bottom thereof, which will materially increase its useful life.
Referring to the annexed drawing in which my i Figure 1 15 proved steel Figure 2 nvention is illustrated:
is a side elevation of my 1mis a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 indicates the body of my steel, which 20 may be formed in any desired shape. A
groove 2 is formed in the lower edge of the body 1, in which a reinforcing rod is cured. The rod 3 is formed of hard material such as tempered steel, to better resist the wearing action against the strings of the instrument.
Recesses 4L and 5 are formed in the sine. of the body 1 and adjacent the top thereof, in which are placed layers 6 and 7 respectively of fibrous or cellular material, but preferably cork. Thus an excellent gripping surface is obtained which requires less muscular effort to hold the steel.
Having described my invention, I claim:
A steel for stringed instruments, comprising a body having recesses formed in the sides thereof, cork layers in said recesses, said body having a groove formed in its lower edge, and a reinforcing rod fixedly secured in said groove.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
RICHARD J. CARPENTER.
