SHEET-MUSIC CASE.
SPECH'ICATIVON forming part of Letters Patent No. 346,530, dated August 3, 1886.
Application tiled April 5, 1836. Serial N0.l9'i,914.
T0 all whom it may concern.-
Beit known that I, Luisa @APPL-mr, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sheet-Music Cases, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvement in sheet-musie cases; and it consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of devices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a sheet-music ease embodying my improvements, with the lids open to disclose the sheet-music. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the same, showing the lids closed. Fig. 3 is a similar view with the lids open.
A represents a rectangular case, which is made ot Vpasteboard or any other preferred material, and is covered with alligator-skin, plush, or any other preferred material, and ornamented in any desired style, so as to make the case beautiful and attractive. One end of the ease is open, and the bottom B ofthe case extends for a suitable distance beyond the open end thereof. The sides C of the case have projecting ilanges D, which extend beyond thel open end of the case to the outer edge of the projecting portion of the bottom B. The upper corners of the flanges D are beveled or inclined, as at E.
F represents the inner lid, which has one edge hinged to the projecting outer edge of the bottom D of the case, whereby the said lid may be folded upwardly between the outer edges of the projecting langes E. This lid is connected to one of the flanges D by'means of a ribbon or tape, G, which supports the said lid in a horizontal position when the same is opened.
H represents an outereover, which is hinged to the top lof the case. This cover is provided with side flanges, K, which tit over the projecting side flanges, D, of the ease when the cover is closed, the said outer cover being adapted to fold over theinnerlid, F. The inner side of the said inner lid forms a tablet, (index,) which is suitably ruled and divided (No model.) i
into any desired number of vertical columns, and to the left of each line of each column of the tablet is inscribed a figure or number, which figures run successively freml up to any desired number, accordingtojhe capacity t of the case. The inner side of dille outer lid or cover, H, also forms a tablet, und is likewise ruled and divided into vefticallyaiumbered columns.
To the top of the case, on tlfl@ inner side thereof, at a suitable distance Vifi-om the rear end of the case, is attached one 'ced of adraw ribbon or tape, L. This ribbon is of a suitable length to bear against the; upper side of the ease, the rear end thereof and the bottom, and extend outwardly from the case between the inner and outer lids.,` The outer end of the said ribbon or tape is provided with a suitable weight, pendant, or tassrjll, or other preferred device, to preventthe ribbon fromslipping through the iingers. t i
The outer cover or lid, lf, of t`1e case is provided on its outer side with a. sintablehandle, M, which may be of any pref erred ornamental construction, and the corners ot' the said cover are provided with wear-plat :s er corner-bindings N, which may be of any suitable preferred ornamental form, anil tle function of which is to prevent injury 1to zhe corners of the covers H by abrasion. l
The bottom of the caselis provided at its corners with cushions O, inadi of any suitable elastic material, to prevent the case from wearing or scratching the, upper side of the music-stand, upon which ,the case is placed.
The sheets of music are divided into separate classes or varieties-Such as operatic arias, church music, &e.'-a11i.l Sheets belong` ing to each separate clasfs are placed in separate cases, Each piece f musi() S numbered at the bottom of the sheet, at either the right or left hand corner, and the said sheets are placed in the case one abOVe the other, the pile lying upon the tape or ribbon L. The name of each numbered sheet is inscribed in its appropriate place opposite the corresponding number on the tablets F and H. For inn stance, the title of sheet No. 1-. Clafero Orplico,77 par Gluck-isi11SCrbCd Online N0. l Of t-he tablet F, the title of Sheet No, 2-D Amor Sul7 ah, Trovatore, Verdi-beinginscribed on the second line of the said tablet,and the title of the third sheetc Casta Diva,77 Norma, Bellini-being inscribed on the third line of' the said tablet, and so on for each succeeding sheet of music.
If the capacity ofthe case is such that there is not room upon the tablet F for the names of all the pieces of music, the index may be 1o continued from the tablet F to the tablet H,
i5 upon the tape or ribbon L, thereby sliding.
as will bemeadily understood.
/Vhen it is desired to abstract a certain sheet of music from the case, the covers F and H are rst yopened, and the musician draws the pile of music forwardlyfrom the case onto the lid or co aer F. The sheets at the bottom of the pile are moved rst, and the superincumbent sheets are moved successively by the 2o action of the ribbon or tape, which arranges the bottom 'f-lges of the sheets upon an incline on the lid oil' cover F, thereby enabling the desired sheeittto be readily selected from the pile and withdrawn. Vhen the piece has been sung or play@ A, the musician returns it to its proper place ign the pile of its number.
A music-eagle thus constructed will be found of great uti1i1:yand convenience, as it provides a means f'orjeleping the music in regular or- 3o der, and rende'fs each sheet accessible at any moment, thus saving the time usually lost in searching for a particular sheet in a large pile. This musicecasealso forms an attractive ornament for the mu'hiestand in the parlor, and is economical inasmuch as it preserves the pa- 4o angular box cr support and hold the lid in a horizontal position when it is thrown down for use, the upper or outer cover, H, hinged to the case and arranged to be thrown back and supportedin a vertical position upon the top of the ease, so as to expose the index on the inner face of the outer cover, the inner cover or lid, F, fitting between the inner sides of the ease, and the outer covering, H, inclosing the inner cover and the front end of the case when the case is closed, and the ribbon or tape L,secured to the top of the ease forward of the rear end,passed behind and under the pile of music in the case, and extending out over and resting upon the inner cover or lid, F, whereby when the ribbon or tape is pulled upon the sheets of music will be moved forwardly from the case and be supported by the lid F, substantially as described.
2. rlhe sheet-music case comprising a reetangular box or case, A, having the inner lid, F, hinged to the open end thereof, the tape or strap G, to support or hold said lid in a horizontal position when it is thrown down for use, the upper or outer cover or lid, H, hinged to the case and arranged to be thrown back and supported in avertieal position upon the top of the case, so as to expose the index on theinner face ofthe outer cover, the inner cover or lid, F, fitting between the inner sides Y LUISA CAPPIANI.
