G. W. GONOVER. MOUTH PIECE FOR WIND INSTRUMENTS.
Patented May 19,1891.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE IV. CONOVER, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
MOUTH-PIECE FOR WIND-INSTRUMENTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 452,448, dated May 19, 1891.
Application filed December 15, 1890. Serial No. 374,683. (No model.) i
. form a part of this specification.
My improvement has for its object to provide an improved mouth-piece. I accomplish this by constructing the mouthpiece of amber or an amber compound. Amber, as is well known, is electrolytical, and I have found that if I construct the mouth-piece of amber the electrolytic character of the amber holds the lips and the mouth-piece in close contact, so that the movement of the lips is closely followed by the mouth-piece, and the vibrations or movements of the lips transmitted with greater certainty than by the ordinary mouth-piece, and a greater shading and expression in the use of the instrument enabled.
I am aware that mouth-pieces for cigarette and cigar holders and pipes have been made of amber; but their purpose is such that the advantage of my mouth-piece is not the desired object, and their construction is such that it could not be obtained.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of mouth-piece and position of connecting-tube. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of mouth-piece and connecting-tube. Fig. 3 is a section on line 00 00, Fig. 1.
A is the mouth-piece, which is of the usual form and formed of amber or of an amber compound. This mouth-piece is provided with the threaded end a, which screws into the threaded end of the stem or connectingtube B.
The shape of the mouth-piece forms no part of my invention.
Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is
A mouth-piece for a metallic wind-instrument, constructed of amber or an amber compound.
In testimony of which invention I have hereunto set my hand.
GEORGE IV. OONOVER.
