INVENTOR l. wrrnasss UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICEr EUGNE TULLER, OF STE. CROIX, SWITZERLAND.

Music-Box.

SPECIFICATIONYforming part of Letters Patent No. 467,485, dated January 19, 1892.

' I Application led April 20, 1889. Serial No. 3071618. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EUGENE TULLER, a citi- Zen of the Republic of Switzerland, residing at Ste. Croix,in the Republic of Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Music-Boxes, of which the following is a specification.l

The object of my invention is to provide a music-box Which, with one winding of the springs, runs a much longer time than musicboxes of the ordinary construction.

' The invention consists in the combination, with a spring-motor for music-boxes, of a transmitting-shaft journaled on the under side of the base-plate, gearing for transmitting motion from the said motor to olle end of the said transmitting-shaft, and gearing for y transmittingr motion from the other end of the said shaft to the pin-cylinder.

The invention also consists in the construction and combination of parts and details, as will be fully described and set forth hereinafter, and finally pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal elevation of my improved music-box, partsbeing broken out. Fig. 2 is an end View of the same. Fig. 3 is aplan View, parts being broken out.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The springs are contained in the usual spring-barrels A A', and can be wound by means of a lever B of the usual construction. The barrel A is provided with a cog-wheel C, engaging a pinion D, mounted on the same shaft With the large cog-Wheel E, the lower part of which passes through aslot F in the bed-plate G. The shaft carrying the cog- Wheels E and the pinions D is journaled in suitable standards on the bed-plate G. The wheel E engages a pinion J fixed on the shaft K, journaled below the bed-plate G in bearing-blocks L, projecting from the under side of said bed-plate, which shaft extends in the direction of the length of the bed-plate. At the opposite end of the shaft K a pinion M is mounted on said shaft and engages a cogwheel N, projecting through a slot or Lopening in the bed-plate and mounted on the end -pin-cylinder can be obtained for a given number of revolutions of the spring-barrel than can be obtained in the music-boxes of the ordinary construction in which the power is transmitted directly to the shaft of the pincylinder.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. In a music-box, the combination, with a spring-barrel, of a cog-wheel on the same, a pinion engaging said cog-wheel on the barrel, a shaft on which the pinion is mounted, acogwheel fixed on said shaft and passing through a slot inthe bed-plate of the mechanism, a shaft journaled on the under side ot' the bedplate, a pinion on one end of said bottom shaft and engaging the cogwheel passed through the slot in the bed-plate, a toothed wheel on the opposite end of said bottom shaft, and gearing driven from said toothed wheel, substantially as set forth.

2. In a music-box, the combination, with a spring-barrel, of a shaft journaled on the under side of the bed-plate, gearing for transmitting motion from the spring-barrelto one end of said shaft, and gearing fo1` transmitting motion from the opposite end of said shaft to the pin-cylinder shaft, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

EUGENE TULLER.
