1] w This invention relates to improvements in pads and has particular reference to a pad adapted to be secured to a violin and thereafter folded over the rear end of the instrument, and functions first, to produce a cushioning means to prevent danger of the cutting of the chin of the musician by the chin rest of the instrument, and secondly to protect the chest of the player against the possibility of the development of sore spots on the chest by the contact of the rigid body of the instrument with the chest.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a pad of the character described that adds greatly to the comfort of the musician while the artist is playing the violin.
A further object of the invention is the provision of resilient means for detachably and ad justably securing the pad to the chin rest and the body of the violin. A further object of themvention is the provision of a pad of the character described that is simple in construction, eco-- nomical to manufacture, positive in operation, strong, durable and highly efficient in use. Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanyin drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Fig. 1 is a top plan view of an enlarged scale of the pad per se, and disclosing the preferred form of the same,
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a violin and disclosing a portion of the pad as secured to the me chanical chin rest of the instrument and the manner in which the pad is folded over the rear end of the body of the violin,
Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the violin and disclosing the position of the enlarged chest protecting portion of the pad and the elastic means for securing the pad to the body of the violin,
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal vertical sectional View of the pad, the View being taken on the line 4 l of Fig. 1, r
Fig. 5 is a side elevational view of Fig. 4, the view being partly in section,
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary view in elevation of a modified form of sleeve as would be used with the type of chin rest disclosed .in Fig. 8,
Fig. 7 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view of a portion of the sleeve and the collar, the view being taken on the line 1-1 of Fig. 6.
Fig. 8 is a top plan view of one of the types of chin rests used on Violins, and
Fig. 9 is a side elevational view of the complete pad as positioned over the rear end of violin.
are formed ornamental extensions or wings M and I5.
The pad of the present invention embodies in its construction a sleeve I6 that is preferably made of soft material such as velvet. The said sleeve, is of a tapered configuration and includes an enlarged end portion I! and a narrow opposite open end l8. A substantially triangularly shaped packing of kapok or similar material I9 is positioned in the enlarged end portion of the sleeve by inserting the packing through the open end Hi. The two surfaces of the sleeve are then sewed together as at 20 to provide a pocket for the kapok material. Thus, there is formed that portion of the pad that protects the chest of the musician from irritation or sore spots when the violinis being played.
Connected to the medial portion of the enlarged end II, as at 2|, is an elastic cord 22 of loop formation, that permits adjustment of the chest cushioner on the back surface of the violin. (See Fig. 3.) This loop is adapted to encompass the extension l5, thus assuring a positive retention of the enlarged cushioning portion in its operative chest protecting position.
To the small or restricted open end I8, I propose to secure by partial sewing the open inner end of a resilient collar 23 that is provided with an outer open end 24. When the form of the collar 23, as disclosed in Fig. 1, is used, the said collar is slipped over the chin rest H as illustrated in Fig. 2. Due to the resilient nature of the collar it will snugly engage the inner end of the chin rest without danger of being accidentally displaced therefrom.
In Fig. 8 another form of chin rest 26 is shown, that is provided with a tapered end 21. It is over this tapered end that I slip the form of collar 28 that is illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7. It will be noted that this type of resilient collar is sewed to the velvet sleeve IS. The said collar is equipped with side openings 29 and 30 that permit a ready encompassing of the collar over the tapered end of the chin rest 26.
From the foregoing description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing it will be obvious that I have devised a most com- IOI'tabIe and efiicient violin pad that will readily accomplish the objects of the present invention.
It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes relative to the shape, size, material and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
A violin pad for protecting the chin and the chest of the player of a violin, comprising a fabric body capable of being folded over the rear end of the violin, a cushioning member of a substantially triangular configuration forming one end of said body and being confined therein, the remainder of said body comprising a tapered sleeve of lesser thickness than the thickness of REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
