STRIKING APPARATUS FOR STRING INSTRUMENTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 607,434, dated Ju1y19, 1898.
Application filed April 28, 1897. Serial No. 634,305. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ARTHUR l-IEINE, a subject of the King of Saxony, and a resident of Gohlis, near Leipsic, Kingdom of Saxony, Empire of Germ any, have in vented a certain new and useful Striking Apparatus for String Instruments, of which the following is a speci fication.
The present invention relates to a striking apparatus for string instrumentsfor instance, citherns-enabling the performer to strike many strings at the same time.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the apparatus with a section of part of the box K, the instrument being drawn in cross-section. Fig. 2 is a striking-pin, shown in two views, and its position in the box K. Fig. 3 is an upper View of the apparatus with part of the section.
Across the strings a frame K is movablysituated, which can easily be moved to and fro.
In Fig. 1 0f the accompanying drawings the board 0, projecting over the board, rests on two little boards I), pivoted at p to the sides of the apparatus. A spring d always presses the whole to one side. Felt buffers 9 noiselessly catch the shocks of the boards I) when striking. In the box K are the striking-pins f. These have a large head with a comicallywound spring h underneath, which always presses the little pins upward, holding the same above the strings s. In their central part the pins f are thinner in order to gain Fig. 2 shows the elasticity or flexibility.
pins f as non-flexible bodies. At their lower ends they are beveled and are provided with an india-rubber m to act as a sordine to avoid the hard striking of the strings. The pins f or f, guided only in the upper and lower part 9 g are fixed in the frame K, and by a pressure upon their head exercised with the fingers of the player they can be brought within reach of the strings. When after pressing down the frame K is moved to the side, which is done by the thumb of the player placed into the holder 1', those strings are touched of which the pins have been pressed down.
The arrangement of the movable pivotal supports 1) can be done laterally at the instrument or on the top of the same, as may be most convenient.
. I claim- Striking apparatus for string instruments consisting of a frame located across the strings and supported at its ends by pivoted arms I); with pressure-springs d and bufiers g of felt or the like, and of the keyboard consisting of pins f which can be pressed down, with dampers m, with broad key-heads and spring h situated underneath the latter.
In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
ARTHUR HEINE.
