BANJO.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 357,270, dated February 8, 1887.
Application filed December 16,1884. Serial No. 150,528. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
' of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Banjos, which is set forth in the following specification and drawings annexed, in which Figure 1 shows a part of a banjo-handle,
and Fig. 2 a cross-section and perspective of One-half of a banjo-ring and one-half of a socket-box attached, and other attachments.
The handle A has one end, B, out to fit inside the socket-box G, which is made of metal and attached, by the screw D and lip E, to the ring G. The ring is also made of metal, its lower edge having a thicker portion, H, projecting outwardly and its upper edge aportion, K,projecting inwardly to stiffen and strengthen it.
The rawhide head M is drawn over the ring, as usual, and is tucked around a square metallic flesh-hoop, 1?. Small screws R pass through countersunk holes in the lower part,
H, of the ring G and engage a screw-thread cut in holes in the flesh-hoop P. The turning of these screws tightens or loosens the head. Another ring, S, made of very thin metal, covers the flesh hoop and all the screws, and projects slightly over the head. By these means the handle is made easily detachable, the ring reduced in width and thickness, and the straining fixtures simplified and hidden from sight.
I claim as 1ny/invention- 1. In a banjo, the socket-box O, in combin'ation with the handle A and the ring G, substantially as shown.
2. The angular metallic flesh-hoop P, l1av-' ing screw-holes, in combination with the ring G, having the projection H and suitable holes, 40 and the screws R, for straining banjos, all substantially as set forth.
