To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. Rosan- FIELD a citizen of the United States, residing I in the borough of Manhattan, in the city, count and State of New York, have invented an mprovement in Phonographs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to automatic return mechanisms for phonogra hs.

A full understanding of the invention'can best be ivenby a detailed description of a preferred ousfeatures thereof, and such description will now be given in connection with the accompanying drawings, showing such a pre; ferred construction.

In said drawings, Fi re 1 is a plan view df a phonograph provided 'vlli th automatic return mechanism embodyin my invention. Fig. 2is an elevation of t e return mechanism with the auxiliary or return feed-sh art broken away, 'so as to moreelearly show other parts. Fig. 3 is'a section taken on the line a: a: of Fig. 1 looking toward the left, and Fig. 4 is a section taken on thel'nie y y of Fig. 1 looking toward the left, arts bein omitted from Fig. 3 forclearn/cssw ch are a own in Fig. 4.

0 represents the usual bed of a honograph or sinnlrarmachine; b, the threade feed-shaft b ,the mandrel, which is shown as carried by bearings for the feed-shaft 2 the driving-pulley for the back frame a carries a usual construction, to the which is secured the recarrier e, and 5 is a rest for and mandrel, and feedshaft. The

slidin sleeve 11 of right-hand end of producer arm or porting the same as it makes its re roducing movement. In the drawings I ave not shown the reproducer 'roper, but only the annular carrier adapt to receivethe same. The sleeve d also carries a feed-arm (1', provided with a threaded block of usual construction to mesh with the thread of the feed-shaft b, so that in the usual manner movement is communicated from the shaft b through the feed-arm d to the sleeve 11 and to the reproducer-arm e, causing the same to move longitudinally of the record on the mandrel b. The parts above described are or may bc-of usual construction. a is a swinging arm of usual form.

An auxiliary shaft-f, which serves as a rcturn fecd -shaft, is provided with a spiral groove or scrcw-thread 7 and has a portion construction embodying the varif of its surface between the convolntions of the spiral groove at or near its right-hand end provided with teeth 8 and is mounted in earingsf'ff on an auxiliary bed or late adapted to rest upon and be secure to t o bed a. The right-hand end of the shaft f is reduced to pass into the bearin left-hand end of the shaft is of ulhsize and passes through the bearingjfiand upon the end of the shaft adjacent to this latter hearing is a ear 4, meshing with a gear 3 on the feed-she t b. To prevent the auxiliary shaft from moving out of its bearin the lefthand bearing f is provided wit a screwstud ,19, which carries'a disk 20, which overlaifis' the gear 4 to prevent longitudinal move- ,ment of the auxiliary shaft. An eccentric cam g, 'havinq mounted on thcanxiliary shaft, so as to be adjustable longitudinally thereof, beingsecured in position by means of a set-screw, as shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 shows the eccentric shape of the cam, and Figs. 1 and 2show the spiral form thereof.

A bracket his secured to the sleeve (1, as by means of an arm h, split and clamped to the sleeve by means of a screw, as shown in Fig. 3. The bracket It carries a bar 9, having a flat facc, said bar extending through an opening in the bracket and parallel with the auxiliary shaft f, bcingadjustable lengthwise and sccnrcd in any dcsircd position of its lcngthwiscadjustmcntbymcnnsol'nscrcw15. An eccentric segment i is rotntubly mounted on the right-hand cud of the bar 9, its rota movement being limited, as by marine of the pin 14, which engages the cut-away end of the hub of the segment, and the segment is normally held in the position shown in the drawings by means of a helical spring 11, one end of which -is secured to the segment and the other end to a collar or hub in, fast on the'bar 9. The greater portion of the K!- riphery of the eccentric segment is provii cd with teeth 12, and the portion of the periphery beyond the teeth at the end of greatest rarius forms a tail-rib 13. Extending from the face of the eccentric segment is a cum-plate i, the outer edge of which is at an inclination to the axis of the bar 9. This cam-plate is adapted to engage an abutment formed, as shown, by a post 6, having a horizontal portion which passes through a part of the hearing f and is adjustably secured by means of a set-screw to rovide for ad 'ustmeat of the post longitudipally of the irection of movement of the segment i. The

f, mania a spiral rib or shoulder, is

mally in position with a rearward extension thereof against a stop-pin 18. The forward end of the arm 1c is provided with a downwardly-projecting stud k for engaging the eccentric'spiral cam g.

The operation is as follows: The bracket 71, carrying the eccentric segment 'i and arm It, moves with the sleeve (1 and reproducer-arm e'as the reproducer makes its reproducing movement, the eccentric segment being at this time held by the spring 11 in its normal position, as shown in the drawings. As the reproducer draws near the end of the record the cam-plate 11' comes into engagement with the post (5, so that as the movement continues the eccentric segment '5 is turned to bring its teeth 12 into engagement with the teeth 8 of theauxiliary or return feed-shaft. The segment is then further turned or rotated by the rotation of the auxiliary shaft and its toothed periphery caused to pro ressively engage the toothed surface of the shaft until the tail-rib 13 is brought into position to enter the groove 7 of the auxiliary shaft. This turning movement of the eccentric segment because of the eccentric or cam form of the segment raises the bracket h, and thereby rocks the sleeve d and elevates the reproducerarm 0 to move the point of the reproducer off the record and elevates the feed-arm d to disengage its threaded block from the shaft 6, thereby interrupting the forward or reproducing movement of said parts. The tail-rib 13 being then brought into position to enter the groove of the auxilia shaft and the rotation of the auxiliary s aft continuing, a reverse movement is imparted to the bracket h, sleeve d, reproducer-arm, and feed-arm, said parts then moving toward the left in Fig. 1, and this movement is secured without necessitating anysto page or change in direction of rotation of the eed-shaft b. The rotation of the auxiliaryshaft f is in a direction opposite to the direction in which the spring 11 tends to move the eccentric segment t to return it to the position shown in Fig. 3. Consequently the rotation of the auxilia shaft ,while causing the return movemento the parts, tends to keep the eccentric segment in position with its tail 'rib 13 in the groove of the shaft, the weight of the reproducer-arm and feed-arm being at this time supported by the eccentrio segment and tend mg to increase thehf'fictiou hm ween the tail-'rib l3 and the auxiliary shalt As the parts approach the extreme left-hand end of their return movement, the

stud k of the arm is ('u'|11( into engagement with the eccentric spiral cam g, and if a high part of the cam is uppermost the arm 1: yields until a low point of the cam gthat is, a point near the surface of the auxiliary shaftcomes opposite the stud 7c. When such low point of the cam is opposite .the stud 7c, the stud moves over the surfabk of the cam, and as the cam continues its rotary movement it will by engagement with the stud is cause a further elevation of the bracket h, whereby the eccentric segment will be raised to clear the auxiliary shaft. When the eccentric segment is thus raised out of engagement with the auxiliary shaft, it will be returned by the action of the s rin 11 to its normal position, (shown in the frawings) and then by the continued rotation of the cam g the bracket It will again be lowered, and at the same time stud k, coming into engagement with the spiral shoulder or rib of the cam, will be run off the cam and the parts will return to osition, with the threaded block of the fee -a.rm dt in en agement with the feed-shaft b and with t e reproduceragain in reproducing position, and the parts Wlll be in position or another reproducing movement. The coaction of the cam-plate k i and post 6 and of the,teeth.-12 of the eccentric segment with the teeth8 of the auxiliary shaft effect a gradual operation upon and raising of the reproducer-arm e and the palfts connected therewith, gradual] bringing the tail-rib 13 into the groove Tier the return movement, and the coaction-of the arm k and its stud is under the control of the spring 11 with the eccentric spiral cum 9 efiects a stopping of this return movement anda adual lowering of the reproducer-arm and sadarm into position for another reproducing movement. The adjustment. ovided for the eccentric spiral cam longitudinally of the auxiliary shaft f and t e ad ustment pro vided for t segment i, and for the bar 6 in the bearing is to adapt the mechanism for records of varying lengths, so that the reproducing devices may operate only over the length 0 the actualrecord, and so that there maybe no time wasted or unnecessary distance traveled by the parts.

The invention provides an exceedingly simple mechanism positive in its action and efiicient and having no parts liable to get out of order.

It will be und rstoocl that theinvention is not to be limitvd to the exact constructions and arrangements of arts shown, and to which the foregoing escription has been mainly confined, but that it includes changes and modifications'thereof within the claims. For example, I do not herein limit in self to the employment of the spring-control edarm A: or the )articular parts associated therewith, as t m stud 16 may lie-tightened and said arm be thus caused tooccupyafixed e bar 9, carrying the eccentric reproducing machines to which t 2. In aphono position and the eccentric cam g be' placed 1n accordance with such a change of the arm. Furthermore, some equivalent structure may be used in lieu thereof without departing from my invention.'
