REED-ORGAN CASE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 296,134, dated April 1, 1884. Application filed June 12, 18831 (No model.)
To Cl/ZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, MELVILLE CLARK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Iteed-Organs, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to the construction of reed-organ cases; and it has for its object to so arrange a reed-organ case that, for repairs or cleaning, it can be readily opened to get at the interior or action.
My invention consists in providing reedorgan cases with a hinged upper half, and with a hinged lid in the back of the case, the parts being so arranged that access may be gained to the interior of the case, either by throwing back the hinged upper half or by opening the rear hinged lid, or whereby the part may be entirely removed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a rear elevation of an organ having my improve ments; Fig. 2, a transverse vertical section of the same with the back lid partly opened; Fig. 3, a similar section withvthe upper part of the casing turned back, and Fig. 4 a plan view of the organ.
Corresponding letters in the several figures of the drawings designate like parts.
A denotes the body part of the casing, and
B the top part that carries the music-shelves,
and O the lid in the rear of the body part. The top B is removably secured at its front corners upon the body part A by two screws, 1), while the lid 0 is removably secured to the rear of the casing by four screws, 0.
For turning the top B of the casing back, so as to expose the upper portions of the 210- tion, the screws 7) b are loosened, when such top can be swung to be suspended to the rear of the body A of the casing on the upper edge of lid 0, while for getting to the rear of the action the top B of the casing remains intact and the screws 0 0 are loosened, when the lid 0 can be turned upward against the back of top B; or, by loosening the screws b and c, the
top B and lid 0 are both disconnected from the body part of the organ and can be removed, when the entire action is exposed, for the purpose of tuning, repairing, and cleaning.
WVith this method of constructing organcases a great amount of time is saved, and the danger of misplacing any parts of the organ is done away with, thus avoiding all the petty annoyances connected with taking the instrument apart, as is the case with the old way of. building organs, while it facilitates the fre; quent cleaning of the action, that is very de- 6c sira-ble in a reed-organ.
\Vhat I claim is A reed-organ case consisting of the lower or body part, A,the top orshelfpart, B, and thelid G, such shelf part B and lid 0 being connected by hinges a, and being detachably secured to the body part, respectively, by screws 1) and c, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
MELVILLE CLARK.
