1 1 iii-72mm. {F 7724'17 concern:
Be known that i NS E. Possum, a residing at 379 VVeyboss-st street, Providence, in the county of Provideno; and State of Rhode Island, have inyented cert '11 new and useful improvements in Phonographdtecord Cleaners,
' of which the following is a specification, reference being ing drawings. This. invention relates to an attachment for cleaning the recordroll on. e phonograph, and has for its object to provide a brush or other suitable device to be preferably suspended from the traveling arm that carries had therein to the accompanythe reprorinsing-point.
It is-found in practice that when a record roll collects dust said dust is apt to lodge in the little recording-grooves or. the face of the roll, and if it not thoroughly removed before the record is used tbiscdust and grit comes in contact with the Sharp point or edge of the reproducing-needle and wears the some oil and quickl destroys it. To obviate this difficulty, l have provided a little brush which may be made of hair, felt, or
other soft or suitable flexible material and suspend the seine from-the reproducer-srm. Tins brush is arran ed to come in direct contact with. the revolving roll, completely removing all of the dust and grit from the grooves before they come in contact with the point" of the said reproducing-needle, thus enabling said needle to transmit a sharper and clearer reproduction, and at the some time the life and e'fliciency of the said reproducing-points are greatly increased.
The invention is fully set forth in this specilication and more particularly pointed out in the ap ended claims.
In t e accompanying drawings, Figure l is s perspective vie. showin a portion ofthe recording-roll, the reproducing arrn, and the cleaningbrush in position on said arm. Fig. is an enlarged perspective view of the brush detached. Fig. 3 is the said brush in elevation. Fig. l is the shape of one of the pieces of the brush-frame as it is struck from the sheet stock. Fig. 5 represents the piece shown in Fig. l bent in position to receive the bristles or felt from which the brush may be made. Fig. 6 shows the shape of the blank of the second member of the brush-frame. Fig. 7 shows said second blank with the lip bent down and the hool; and
eye bent up in position.
Fig. 8 shows 2. detail of the little flexible coil-spring by which said brush taohed to the arm.
Referring to'the drawings, at l is the record-roll, mounted in the usual Way on the cylinder 2, and is caused to rotate by a spring, motor, or other suitable means. Not shown.) At 3 is the usual arm that carries the reproducingpoint 4, which point engages the cylinder in the usual way to reproduce the sound therefronr. This arnrS traverses the face of the said cylinder and moves at a speed inproportion to the rotation of the same and is propelled by the usual means for moving said arm. '(Not shown.)
At '5 is the brush, shown in Fig. 1 as being located on the under side of the arm 3 and attached thereto by c flexible connection 6.
This brush be constructed in any convement manner and of any suitable material,
many Ways; but I prefer to construct the same by cutting a blank from sheet stoo with'ears 7 7, as shown in F1g. 4, and then bend these cars down and around, as shown in Fig. 5. A second blank is then struck from sheet stock, having a'projection 8 on one side thereof terminating in a hook and a second projection 9 on the opposite side' provided with an eye, as shown in Fig. 6. The lip 10 of this member is then turned down and the projecting members 8 and 9 turned up into the position shown in Fig. '7.' The lip 10 is then placed between the ears 7 7, and the ferrule or band to receive and retain the brush material is completed. it then re mains to pl ace one end of this brush material into this ferrule and set the same firmly to gether in a press or by other means to bind the material, and the brush is completed. The ends 11 and of the members form a saddle to engage the under side of the arm 3 and present a good brood bearing-surface to support the brush thereon, while the projections 8 and 9 embrace arm 3 to prevent latera-l movement of the brush. In attaching this device to the said erm any means may be used; but I preferably employ the use of a fine flexible coil-spring 6, one end of which is fastened to the eye on projection 9, the opposite end ol' said is M1151 having; it bod that may be can", d (Wci' the F id arm zinc hooked into the ,lmu l on -i'o i'- ction t3.
' is not convenient to use :i spr -i' 101 this purmai y be used.
some in sonn'iwha t the some manner as it is applied to tho cylindonmiichines This practical device very ii'icxpcnsive. it may-be readily attached to any phono graph and is very eflicicnt in cleaning the record, and thus prolongs the life ol the point of the rcproiiucing-necdle and increases the efficiency of the some.
Having thus described my invention, What claim as new, and desire to secure byzLettors Patent, is-
'1. A device of the character described com prising a clip or ferrule having it brush secured therein and provided with an angular extension formed in onepiece with one wall of saiidclip or ferrule anil-lori'ning a saddlepiece, saddle-piece being provided .With opposite]y-disposcd projections adapted to embrace it support.
2. A device of the character described com prising it clip or ferrule having it brush secured-therein and provided with an angular extension Formed in one piece with one flit-til of said clip oritcrrulc and lorn'iing saddlepiccc, said saddle-pied: being provided with oppositely: isposed liitcriilly-=1rmngcd upturncd projectionsadapted to embrace t1 support.
