SAMUEL GOLDBERG, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
HORN.
Application filed February 16, 1926. Serial No. 88,524.
'My present invention relates to horns intended for oral or mouth operation, and aims to devise articles of the general character specified which are simple in construction, easy, convenient and economical to fabricate and to assemble, and which produce a better sound and are less liable to get out of repair than the horns as hitherto constructed and used for the same general purposes. Other objects and advantages of the devices of the present invention will in part be pointed out in detail hereinafter and will in part be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the present invention relates.
I11 the accompanying specification I shall describe, and in the annexed drawing illustrate, an illustrative embodiment of the articles of the present invention. It is, however, to be clearly understood that my invention is not limited to the specific embodiment thereof herein shown and described for purposes of illustration only.
Referring to the drawing, wherein I have illustrated the aforesaid illustrative embodiment of the present invention:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of such illustrative embodiment; and
Fig. 2 is a substantially central longitudinal section of the same.
Referring now to the aforesaid illustrative embodiment of the present invention, and more particularly to the drawing illustrating the same, 10 indicates the horn as a whole comprising the inwardly tapering main body portion and the associated in wardly tapering mouth-piece portion 30. The main body portion 20 and the mouthpiece portion may be united by an suitable means, as by the soldering indicated by reference character 10.
I have found that by suitably shaping the main body portion 20 and the mouth-piece portion 30 not only may the sound of the horn be considerably improved, but its construction rendered cheaper and its likelihood of damaging the lips of the person using the same considerably diminished. For this purpose, I prefer that the mouth-piece portion 80 shall be inwardly tapered so as to seat itself firmly on the inwardly tapering main body portion 20 at the portion 21 thereof where the line of soldering is provided.
Within the mouth-piece portion 30 is provided the reed chamber 31. The inner end 22 of the main body portion 20 is cut off obliquely or at an angle and over this inner end is soldered the spring brass or equivalent reed 23 by means of the solder or other suitable metal-joining means designated by reference character 24. It may here be noted that the relation of the reed 23 with respect to the reed chamber 31 provided by the mouthpiece portion 30 exercises a considerable influence upon the quality of sound of the horn and otherwise improves the construction of the device.
The mouth-piece portion 30 is provided with the lip portion 32, preferably of curved contour or conformation, to thus avoid the presentation of any sharp edges to the lips of the person using the horn. In order to further this purpose and to render the horn easier of operation, I provide the inwardly turned flange 33 which extends into the reed chamber 81.
Preferably the mouth-piece portion 30 is made in a single piece, as of a sheet metal stamping. This may be done in many ways as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art relating to the manufacture of shaped metal articles from sheet metal by stamping or otherwise. For example, the metal blank of which the mouth-piece portion 30 is to be made, may be first shaped up, as by an operation in a die, into frustoconical form, after which the curved lip portion 32 may be shaped, as by another operation in another die, after which, finally, or simultaneously with one or both of the other operations, since conceivably two, or more, or all of the operations may be. simultaneously performed, the inwardly turned flange portion 33 may be provided, as by another operation by the use of another die.
This completes the description of the construction and mode of manufacture and assembly of the aforesaid illustrative embodiment of the articles of the present invention. The articles of the present invention are characterized by their simplicity in construction, the ease, convenience and economy with which they may be fabricated and assembled, and their strength and suitability for the intended purpose. By means of the foregoing construction numerous economies are rendered possible in the manufacture of such devices enabling the same to be manufactured quite cheaply while still possessing the advantages in construction and operation referred to above.
The user is further given additional protection in the use of the horn by the avoidance of any sharp edges or corners in the mouthpiece portion. Other advantages and superiorities of the articles of the present invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art to which the same relates.
hat I claim as my invention is:
A horn comprising an inwardly tapering main body provided at its inner end with a sounding reed, and an elongated continuously inwardly tapering integral mouthpiece enclosing the reed to define a reed chamber and having its small end secured to the main body the large end of the mouthpiece being remotely disposed with respect to the point of attachment of the mouthpiece to the main body and being spaced a substantial distance from the reed and having an integral continuously rounded top portion terminating in an integral inturned cylindrical flange extending into the reed chamber.
In testimony, whereof, I have signed my name to this specification this 9 day of February, 1926.
