SOUNDlNG-BOARD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 713,401, dated November 1 1, 1902.
Application filed April 22, 1902. Serial N0. 2, 106. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern;
Be it known that I, SARAH W001) CLARK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Sounding-Board, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. v
This invention relates to improvements in sounding-boards, particularly adapted for the use of violinists and other soloists playing with a piano or like accompaniment, the object being to provide a portable sounding board that may be placed where desired to give the best eifect in spreading or giving force and distance to the musical sounds.
I will describe a sounding-board embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claim.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,
in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a soundingboard embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, 5 designates the sounding -board, which is concavo convex or substantially shell-shaped and having a greater length than width. It may be made of any suitable material-such, for instance, as wood, metal, or the like-and it is sufficiently thin to properly vibrate upon receivingthe musicalsounds. Thesounding-board is mounted on a suitable support, which, as here shown, consists of two legs, each leg consisting of telescopic members 6 7, the lower ends of the members 7 being provided with feet 8. The member 6 is held as adjusted with relation to the member 7 by means of a setscrew 9, and on the upper end of each member 6 is a rearwardly-extending arnnlO, having pivotal connection with a lug 11, arranged at the rear edge of the sounding-board. By this pivotal connection the board may be adjusted as to its angle and held in its adjusted position by a thumb-nut 12, engaging with the pivot-pin.
A sounding-board embodying my invention is very light, and therefore may be readily 5o moved from place to place relatively to a piano or the'like as desired, and as the several members may be separated one from another the Whole device may be compactly folded for transportation. I 5 5 As the board has a much greater length in a horizontal direction than its width, the greater volume of sound will be deflected laterally and forward.
Having thus described my invention, I
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A sounding-board,supporting-legs therefor consisting of telescopic members, clampingscrews for the members, rearwardly-extended arms on the upper members, lugs on the rear edge of the board, pivot-pins passing through the lugs and arms,and thumb-nuts on the pins.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
SARAH WOOD CLARK.
