UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HOXVARD O. BARNES, OF
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN CHlN-RESTS FOR VIOLINS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 213,804, dated April 1, 1879; application iiled January 10, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HOWARD O. BARNES, of the city of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Chin- Rests for Violins, of which the following is a specification:
The nature of my invention consists in combining with the chin-piece a screw-socket, into which a screw-quill enters, the screw-quill holding loosely within its hollow center an extension-rod, the lower end of which is rigidly attached to the rear clamp of the device, the screw-quill being provided with a circular milled-disk, which enables the operator to easily revolve the screw-quill and thus adjust the clamp, or tighten or loosen the same when on the violin.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my violin chin-rest. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, showing a part of the violin.
Let A and B,respectively, represent the face and back of a violin. G is the chin-piece, which has a ledge, 0, lined with some soft material, so as notto mar the violin. D is a screw-socket, attached to the chin-piece O by a screw, or by any other suitable device. dis an interior screw, into which the screw-quill E, having an exterior screw, works. This screw-quill is turned by the milled disk F, attached to it. A rod, H, extending from the rear clamp, K, passes into the center of the screw-quill E, as shown in Fig. 2. This rod H may be held by having an enlarged head at e, or it may be clamped by the upper part of the quill E, which in that case is bifurcated for the purpose.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a violin chin-rest, the combination of the screw-socket D and the screw-quill E with the rod H and rear clamp, K, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
HOWARD G, BARNES.
