GEORGE R. OADIVALLADER, OF GENEVA, NEW YORK.
REED-SUPPORTER FOR CLARINETS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 555,561, dated March 3, 1896.
Application filed 111116 1 1 1395- To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE R. CADWALLA- DER, of Geneva, in the county of Ontario, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Reed-Supporters for Clarinets, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to clarinet-reed supporters.
My object is to produce a reed-supporter so constructed and arranged that it will hold the reed yieldingly upon the instrument, so that when it is caused to vibrate by the mouth of the operator it will by its construction yield gently and thereby produce a better tone, cheap and durable in its construction and of great utility; and to that end my invention consists in the several new and novel features and combination of parts hereinafter described and which are specifically set forth in the claim hereinafter annexed. It is constructed as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view of a clarinet provided with my improved reed-supporter. Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a crosssection on line on a: of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is aside view of one of the heads which support the strings which bind the reed to the instrument. A is the clarinet of any form, style, or make desired.
B is the mouthpiece constructed in the ordinary way andis provided with a reed a. Here- Serial No. 552.984. (N0 model.)
tofore the reeds have been secured in position by metallic bands which have bound them rigidly tothe mouthpiece. The present invention has to do with this device for supporting the reed upon the mouthpiece yieldingly, so that when it is forced outward by the operation it will yield gently from the front edge to the rear.
1) are brackets having eyes 0 in one edge through which a piece of stout cord (1 is passed, it being secured at one end to the eye 0, thence passing to and fro over the reed and around the mouthpiece, engaging with the eye in the opposite brackets and again secured. .7
eis a thumb-screw and serves to connect the two brackets and tighten the cord about the reed and mouthpiece.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
In a yielding reed-supporter, the mouthpiece, and its reed, combined with the two brackets provided with eyes, the cord which passes through the eyes, and a thumb-screw for tightening the cord upon the reed, whereby the reed can yield from its front to its rear end, substantially as shown.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand on this 8th day of June, 1895.
GEORGE R. OADIVALLADER.
In presence of- H. H. HENDERSON, G. L. STUCK.
