P. FEARON. APPARATUSPOR DBADBNING SOUND.
No. 48,350. Patented June .mL-1865.
Messes.'
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANCIS FEABON, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.
`Specification forming part of Letters Patent Ilo-48.350, dated June 20, 1865.
To all whom it may-concern:
Bel it known that I, FRANCIS FEARON, of Great George Street, XVestminster, London, Engl-and, have invented an Improved Apparatus forl Softening or Deadening Sound; and I do hereby declare the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying sheet of drawings.
The object of my invention is to lessen the e'ect of sound in the ears of. travelers by railway or in the many other cases where continu-" ous crashing or other unpleasant noise may beA distressingto individuals.
In orderto effect iny object, I make an api paratus by theuse of which a small plate, pad-v ded on its inner face with some soft elastic,`
semi-elastic, or other material, and made of iron, silver, orn any suitable metal or material, is nladeto press lightly on the tragus of each earthe pressure being obtained by means of a metal-wire spring, descendinglfrom each plate. under the lobe of the ear, and so' downward. below the underjaw. iY V I Figure 1 on the drawings is 'a front elevation of' the apparatus, (natural size,) made Wi th strong wire acting as spring, the platesfbeing ot' brass and the padding covered with velvet, Fig. 2 bein g a side view of saine, a indicating the spring, b the metal plates,
ando the adir. in each of the figures, respectively.
' It will' be understoodthat' although I show onlyone form of apparatus as a type of my in V object as shown-say by wire or thin plates passing from a common center beneath the lower jaw up to agd past the lobe o`f eaehear vet I make the apparatus, when desired,l to tit on from the back Vof the vhead or neck, or even from the top of-thehead, and this I effectwith very slight alterations ofth'e parts, such alter- `ations beingzprinepa'lly in the curve of the wire spring. under the lobe of the ear, or over the ear, to bring the plates onto the tragns. I prefer the apparatus to pass from under the lower jaw and in front of the lobe of the ear,
as being lessvisble when worn, for if the back' of the plates andthe wire be enameled .the color of skin, the apparatus will not readil-yat- .'t-raet theeye, parlienlarly when carried by men wearing whiskers` or beard, or 'both or by dies wearing bonnet-strings, &c.
lf desired, .I make that vpart of the spring which cornes' beneath the jaw, vor tliejunction, /if the. spring'be in two parts, in suehw'se that by pressure lot' the thumb and finger one or Iboth of' the plates .may be temporarily pressed outward from the tragus ot' .the earthu s permitting full soundtr) enter.' l y p Having now described thenature o l my invention andshown a means by whieh-Ixcarry it into practical ieect, I would have it-"dis 4tinet'ly .understood that I do not. confine'v myself'to the precise detail` herein giveu,.or' Ito the figure shown on the sheet of drawings, as lnodifiations may be made without departing from` my invention; and f I elainu--l r The exclusive use of an. apparatus'for softeningor deadening sound by meansof pressure on the tragus of each ear,- substantially as herein described, and illustrated by the drawings.
