ULYSSES PRATT, 0F DEEP RI ER, CONNECTICUT.
IMPROVEMENT IN KEYS FOR PlANO-FORTES, ORGANS, &c.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 174,00l, dated February 22, 1876; application filed May 31, 12575.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ULYssEs PRATT, of Deep River, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Keys for Piano- Fortes, Organs, and other Key-Board Instruments; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the ac-' companying drawing, which forms part of this Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal view of a key constructed in accordance with my improvement, and Fig. 2 a front view of the same.
This invention may be considered as an improvement upon the key for which Letters Patent No. 140,528, dated July 1, 1875, were granted to E. P. Needham. It consists in a keyfor piano-fortes, organs, melodeon's, and'other key-board instruments having a molding in front, formed and being part of the same veneer of the key, said molding extending beyond and lapping over the front end of the key, whereby a much handsomer appearance is given to the latter.
In the drawing, A represents the white key ol'a piano-forte or organ, having a veneer or covering, b,of any suitable material,-applied to its top or face. This veneer or covering is not merely continued and'extended'over and down the front end 0 of the key, but is constructed to form a molding, b, of any suitable may have its form given it while in a plastic or soft state. I do not restrict myself, however, to any particular material for such we neer or covering, nor yet to any particular mode of producing the molding at its forward end.
I do not broadly claim the extension of the top or face veneer over and down the front end of the key; but
What I do claim is v A key for piano-fortes, organs, and other key-board instruments having an overlapping molding in front, formed and being part of the same veneer or covering which is applied to the top or face of the key, substantially as specified.
