Patented Sept. 10,1878,
NITED S'I'ATESPA'IENT OFFICE;
CHARLES F. UHEW, OF BRIDGEPORT, CONNEC'IICUT.
IMPROVEMENT IN UPRIGHT PIANO-FORTE FRAMES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 207,947, dated September 10, 1878; applieation filed April 4, 1878.
T0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES F. CHEW, of Bridgeport, Oonneetieut, have imented eer ain Improvements in Upright Piano-Forte Frames, of whieh the following is a specificai0u:
It is the object of my irwention te eheapen the construetionof upright piano frames, and espeeially te faeilitate the applieation t0 them of the wrest-plank; and myimention eonsists in providing upon the back side of the castiron frame a seat for a wrest-plank, having a shoulder along its lower edge and ends, and in seeuring the wrest-plank to the back side of the frame by means of serews 0r beits inserted thr0u g11 the frame from the front side.
Tue aceompanying drawings, representing m y i1went-ion, are as follows: Figure 1 is a front; view of the iron frame and the wrest-plank. Fig. 2 is a view of the upper edge of the same, and Fig. 3 is a transverse seetion through a porti0u of the frame on the line 0002 in Figs. 1 and 2.
It will be seen, en referenee to the drawings, that my cast-irou frame, while havng a genera1 resemblanee to an ordina-ry piano-frame, is provided uear its upper end with a flat cross bar, A, and that t11is cross-bar is provided up0u itsbaek side with the projeeting flange a. The f0ur "ertieal bars B B B B of the frame extend upward from the cross-bar A to the upper cross-bar, A.
The wrest-plank C is provided on the lower part of its front side With the shoulder 0, and upon its ends with similar shoulders 0 aud 02.
The upper edge of the erossbar A f0rms a hearing for the shoulder 0, and the baekwardly projecting; fla-nge a forms a hearing for the extreme 10wer edge 0 of the wrest-plank. 'lhat portion of the wrest-plank outside the shoulders c, 0, and 0 bears against the back side of the frame, and is secured thereto by the screws d through the upper portion of the cross-bar A. The wrest-plank is further secured by the serews d through the upper port-ion of the vertieal bars of the frame. The frame has the usual cross-bar A at the bottom.
1t will thus be seen that the wrest-plank is seated on the back side of the frame, and may be easily detached, if occasion arises, by removing the serews from the front side. The wrest-plank is afforded au adequate support to enable it; to resst the pull of the strings by the frontedge of the cross-bar A and the front edge of the fla-nge a 1 claim as my invei1tion- A east-iron frame for upright pianos, pro vded With the flauge a, project-iug baekwardly from the cross-bar A, in eombination with the wrest-plank G, haring the shoulders 0 c 0 and secured to the iron frame by serews iuserted through the frame fr0m its front sde, eonstrueted and arranged t0 operate sub.tau tiaily as shown and described.
