- Claims.
This invention relates to annunciator chimes and more particularly to means for supporting the tone tubes in a manner to accurately locate them relatively to their strikers and to develop the most pleasing tone quality.
A primary object of the invention is to provide an improved mounting or support for a tone tube for application to an annunciator chime or musical instrument.v
A feature that enables the above object to be accomplished is that the tube at its upper end is provided with a member extending axially from the tube, the extended portion of which forms an anvil adapted to be struck by a plunger or striker mounted in the unit on which the tube is hung to produce the tone.
Another object of the invention is to provide a flexible support in the form of a cord or string passing centrally or axially through the member by means of which the tube may be supported in a vertical position and to hang freely downward. Another object of the invention is to provide an improved anvil enabling the tube to give a pure musical tone the volume of which can be reduced or varied by a non-metallic sleeve secured to the extension forming part of the plug.
And finally it is anfobject of the invention to form the plug in its preferred form with an integral extension having thefull diameter of the tube, vthe portion entering the tube being reduced in diameter to form a shoulderabutting against the end of the tube.
This application is based in part on my prior and co-pending application 331,445, filed April 24, 1940.
With the above and other objects in View the invention may include the features of construction set forth in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
In the accompanying drawing annexed hereto and forming a part of this specification, I have shown the invention embodied in cylindrical tone tubes for annunciator chimes but it will be understood that the invention can be otherwise embodied and that the drawing is not to be construed as dening or limiting the scope of this invention, the claims appended to this specification being relied upon for that purpose.
f In the drawing:
- Fig. 1 is a fragmentary longitudinal view partly in section of a tone tube provided vwith one forni of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the parts shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig.`1 and showing a supporting plug pressed into the end of the tube.
Fig. 4 is a View similar to Figs. 1 and 3 showing a tubular striking anvil passing partially through a supporting plug pressed within the end of the tube, the anvil being surrounded by a tone modifying plastic sleeve tightly or adhesively fitting the anvil.
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of a combined striking anvil and tube supporting member formed by a recessed cylinder having a diameter corresponding to the tone tube and recessed substantially throughout its length.
Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5 and showing an anvil formed from tubular material and having a plug inserted within its lower end by means of which the tone tube may be suspended by a central cord or string.
Figs. '7 and 8 are plan views of the constructions shown respectively in Figs. 5 and 6.
In the above mentioned drawing, there have been shown several embodiments of the invention which are now deemed preferable but it willbe understood that changes and modifications may be made within the scope .of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Briefly and in its preferred aspect, the invention may include the following 'principal parts: First, a tone tube'of suitable length and preferably of circular cross section. The material, length, thickness and other characteristics of the tube may be selected to give the desired pitch and musical quality desired; second, a metal plug or extension pressed into or otherwise secured within the upper end of the tube; third, in some embodiments of the invention a separate projection secured centrally within the plug, or in other embodiments the metal plug being extended beyond the end'of the tube and having an integral portion extending within the tube; fourth, a flexible cord or string attached to or extending through the plug and its extended portion or extension member or suitably looped so that a supporting h ook may be provided on its upper end; and fifth, in some embodiments a non-metallic sleeve tightly surrounding the projection or extending` portion ofl the plug, this sleeve preferably being made of plastic material. n y
Referring more in detail to the figures of the drawing and rst to the construction shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, several tone tubes I0 are shown, each similarly formed of thin metallic tubing, the length thereof being varied in any pair or group to give the desired tones of diftubular striking kanvil passing through a tube ferent pitch. At the upper 6nd 0f the tubes I0 there are inserted metal plugs I I preferably and as shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4 of annular form, the upper ends being iiush with the end of the tube. These plugs II may be pressed firmly within the tubes to frictionally retain them therein so that the tubes may be supported therefrom.
Centrally mounted within the plugs II are extensions I2, those shown in the above mentioned iigures being of smaller diameter than the tone tubes I0 and having tube supporting means in the form of a cord or string I3 passing centrally through them.
In Fig. 1 the extension I2 is formed from a solid metal rod turned down at one end to form a shoulder, the smaller diameter being pressed firmly into its plug II. Centrally the extension in this form of the invention is drilled throughout its length through which the supporting cord I3 may pass. For a substantial distance from its free or upper end the rod I2 is counterbored so that the cord I3 will not engage the walls of this recess. Also by varying the diameter of the hole in the counterbored portion and consequently varying the wall thickness the tone quality and resonance may be controlled.
The extension shown inrFig. 3 is formed of metal tubing having an opening of uniform diameter extending throughout its length. At one end it is turned down as in Fig. 1 to firmly t an opening centrally disposed within and extending through the plug II. In order to support the tube by means of a central cord I3 a thin disk I8 is placed below the plug II and a coiled spring I9 below the disk. A knot formed at the lower end of the cord I3 retains the cord I3 in position substantially centrally of the extension and out of contact with its walls. By means of the spring I9 the tube I0 is resiliently supported. As the disk IB of metal or fibre may be of relatively large diameter the cord I3 in this form of the invention is maintained centrally of the tube.
adhering to the walls of the metal tubing I2.
Other non-metallic materials, however, may be used. The purpose of the plastic or non-metallic material I4 surrounding the projection I2 is to soften or modify the tone of the tube I 0 when struck by the hammer or plunger 20. By varying the thickness of the Wall of the plastic material I4 the tone modification can be controlled over a Wide range. To support this form of tone tube II) the cord I3 passes centrally and axially through the plug I I and tube I2.
Fig. 5 shows an extended plug 2I formed from a solid rod of circular cross section at least equal in diameter to the tone tube I0. The lower end of this plug or extension 2I is turned down to fit firmly within the upper end of the tube I0. Centrally the plug 2I is provided with an axially extending recess extending substantially the length of the plug. This recess as shown in Fig. 5 is of substantial diameter so that the wall of the extended portion is reduced to the desired thickness. By varying the size of the hole or recess and consequently controlling the wall thickness of extension 2I, the quality, resonance and loudness can be varied when struck by a hammer or plunger 20, The lower end of the plug has a small central hole through which the cord 22 may pass axially of the tube I0 and plug 2 I.
In Fig. 6 the extension or sleeve 23 is formed from a piece of metal tubing and is reduced in outside diameter at one end to fit iirmly Within the upper end oi a tube I0. An opening of uniform diameter extends throughout the length of the sleeve or extension 23. The tone quality and resonance of the tube I0 can be varied by selecting extensions having thicker or thinner Walls. Entering the lower end of the extension 23 is a small non-metallic plug 24, preferably of wood. tting loosely within the extension, a portion of which enters the opening within the extension 23. The outside diameter of the plug 24 is such that it does not contact the wall of the tube ID. Centrally the plug 24 is provided with a small hole through which a looped cord 25 may be passed and the ends knotted below the plug 24 to prevent the cord from being pulled from the plug. A hook 26 is mounted on the upper end of the cord by means of which the tone tube may be supported. To prevent separation of the plug 24 cord 25 and hook 20 from the extension 23 a disk 2l may be mounted on the cord as shown in Fig. 6. The diameter of this disk is as shown suiliciently large to prevent its being drawn through the opening through the extension 23. To prevent the disk 2'I contacting the upper end of the extension 23 when the tube IIJ is being sounded and when the tube is suspended in position within a chime unit, a knot 28 may be tied in the cord 25 a short distance below the hook 26.
To sound the tubes I0 the strikers, plungers or hammers indicated at 2D in Figs. 4 and 6 are advanced into contact against the Wall of the projections I2 or 23 by any means such as an electric solenoid or clockwork. By varying the vertical position of the tubes II) so that the strikers 20 contact the extensions at different distances from the upper end of the tubes IIJ, different qualities of tone, resonance and volume may be obtained within a Wide range.
