E. S.EEHAUSEN, or MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE.
TUNING ATTACHMENT FOR` GUITARS:y
Specification forming part of Letters Patent'No. 69,259, dated September 24, 1867.
To all 'Lohom it may concern:
Be it known that LH. SEEHAUsEN,of Mein= phis, inthe Vcounty of v Shelby and. State of Tennessee, have invented a new and Improved TuningAttachinent for Guitars, Banjos, and
similar String Instruments; and- Ido hereby.V
declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact ,description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference beingliad to the aecompanyin g drawings, forming partv of this specitieation.-
The object of this inventionis to obtain a Very simple -meansvwhereby the strin'gs of a guitar, banjo,'or Othersimilar string instrument maxai'ter being` used, be relaxed with. greater facility than hitherto, and when re' quired for usev be morereadily tightened and tuned. A
In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figure l is a front view of arguita-r-head having niy improvement applied to it; Fig. 2, al side sectional view'of the. same, taken in the line- Fig. 1. f Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. .-f
A representsa guitarhead, havinga rectangular hole or m ortise, af, made en ti rel y' through it, inwhich a.'inetallic frameB," is fitted, the fram'ebeing somewhat shorter-than the mortise, in order to admit oil-the former having la certain degree of play or movement in the The frame 'B is provided with the usuai-arf bors or rods 4t, to which one end of the 1- se'veral 'strin gs of the'implement is attached, and
each strained 'by turning its'arbor or ,--rod a through the medium of' a,worm-wheel,V b, and.A
screw c.- This tuning mechanism is the vsame as-usuah and therefore does not require a special description.v v. D isa serew, which'passes through a hole,
d,.in the .end off the head A and through the frameB,'and Worksfininternal screws etherein. The lower end of the screw Dl is stopped in a metal socket, j", inthe lower edge of the` mortis'e a", andthe frame Bs provided. at each sideof its back or rear part 'witlrprojecting arms or guides g`,-which` bear against the rear of thehead A at each sideof the mortise a', and prevent the frame B from t.urn,
ing when the" screw D is turned. n
In tuning the. instrument, the frame B, by.
.turning the screwD, is adjusted in the mortise a? as high as it'ean be, the upper end of B being closed against the upperedgeof the inortise af', and the strings are strained irntil' brought in tuneby turning the arbors or rods a through the medium of the worm-'wheels and; vscrews b c. After use the strings are relaxed by screwing Vdown theframe B a trifle-say Vfrom, six toeight turns of the screw D'-the rods or arbors .a of the several strings not be-V tune.
It will be seen, therefore, th'atmy improvel rnent admitsof all the strings being'r'elaxed and tightened simultaneously, and renders. it capable of being tuned'withifargreater facility.
