SAMUEL S'WAIM STEWART, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
BANJO.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 355,896, dated January 11, EL887.
Application filed August 26, 1886. Serial 1\ o. 11,904. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, SAMUEL SWAIM STEW- ART, acitizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Banjos, which improvement is fully set forth in the iollowingspe'cification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a view of the back of a Fig. 2 represents a partial side elevation and partial vertical section thereof.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.
My invention consists of a banjo having means for bracing the neck thereot'and adjusting the pitch of the same.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a banjo, which, in general respects, is of wellknown construction.
B represents a bar or brace, which is formed Ofmetal or other suitable material and rigidly secured at one end to the back of the heel of the neck 0 of the banjo, and adj ustably conbanjo opposite to the neck, the connection of the bar with the rim being accomplished by means of a screw, E, which is freely passed through the rim, or swiveled thereto, and fitted in a threaded opening in the adjacent end of the bar.
It will be seen that by turning the screw E the bar is caused to impart more or less strain on the heel end of the'neck, so that the pitch of the neck may be changed or adjusted relatively to the extent that is desired to set out the strings, the fret or finger-board, or the neck itself, the latter turning on the rim as a fnl I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A banjo having a metallic brace rigidly secured to the neck of the instrument and adjustably connected with the rim by a screw swiveled in said rim, all substantially asdescribed.
2. A banjo having a metallic bracesecured to the neck of'the instrument, on the back of the heel thereof, and connected with the rim by a screw swiveled in said rim, all substantially as and for the purpose set ,forth.
3. In a banjo, the neck A, in combination with metallic brace B, rigidly secured thereto outside of the rim, the rim D, and screw E, the latter being swiveled in the rim and working in the end of said brace B, all substantially as described.
4-. A banjo having its neck 0 connected with the rim D by the screw E, which permits said neck to turn on the rim as a fulcrum, and the brace 13, which is adjustably connected with said rim and secured to the back of the heel of said neck, substantially as described.
