SEPARABLE PHONOGRAPH-H ORN L Patented-Nov. e, 19cc.

To all whom it may concern:

I Be it known that I, EDWARD WEISLOWITS, a citizen of the 'UnitedStates, residing in Manhattan borough, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful'lmprovements in separable Phonograph-Horns, of which the following is a s ecification.

' hisinvention enables a horn to be brought to practically fiat condition or its elements or sections to be slipped apart and superposed to occupy but little space.

his invention is set forth in thefollowing specification and claims, and illustrated in t e annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is'a longitudinal section of a horn embodying this invention. Fig. 2 is an n Fig. 6 is a detail.

larged view of art of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section along a: w, ig. 1. ig. 4 shows a horn element or.section partly out of place or not slipped fully home. Fig. 5 is a view of two sections or horn elements partly enga ed.

Fig. 7 shows a modi cation; I

The horns or sound-throwing trumpets used in connection with phonographs take up considerable room. Particularly in transporting or carrying the instrument about the I orn is more or less of an incumbrance.

According to this invention the horn is composed .of readily-separable elements or sections. Eleven such elements are shown in the drawings, consecutively numbered; but the number is immaterial.

I 'Each element has at one edge a channel I) and at the other a bead 0. Each element having its bead slid into a channel'of an adjoining element at one edge and the bead of this space pass the tail or narrow ends of the other elements 3 to 11 as they are slippedl or pushed into place. The ring d is flanged at its harmyi end, and. this flange has cuts, as

I seen atLfi Q' Fig. 3.

v A funnel-shaped tube g'has a suitable catch-as, for example, pins h. The tube is passed small end first into the large end or I mouth of the horn when built up: and through the rings, the pins h passing through cuts or. slits f, and a turn is. then given to lock the tube and horn on the plan of a bayonetjoint. These parts can thus be easily connected or disconnected. I

One of the element's-for example, 1 "-can have an eye or suspending rin 't, as generally applied for supporting the 'orn when in use.

The tube is shown With a flange or shoulder at which is a acking 7c,,such as a rubber ring. When this flan e sitsagainst ring e, the packing makes tight closure against the horn.1 to 11 or its innerside.

When the sections are pulled apart, they can be laid flat upon one another and packed into small compass.

At. each bead h the respective element or horn-section has a giiide m, which, according 1 to Fig. 6,might beapiece of wire; but, as seen in Fig. 7, the guide could also be formed by suitably pressing or bending part of the stock'or sheet-metal pieces composing the elements.

At the front or mouth end of the horn the sections are shown with steps or alinin laps 0, which when the parts are assemble or slipped together, arrest the parts in line or with the tail orinner end portions properly in place between the rings. These laps or stops 0 can be made of any desirable form or finish. I

. The horn when dismembered can be carried in a small compass, such as a narrow box with handle. ing for the tube can be used in place of the bayonet-joint shown. All such variations are included in the invention, such as varia tions of size, material, and the like.

What I claim as In invention, and desire to secure by Letters atent, is

1. A phonograph-horn comprising sections or elements ada ted to be slipped and form engagement wit the sections having concentric rings between which parts of the other sections can enter or sit. f

2. A phonograph-horn comprising sepa- Any suitable catch or fasten-- one another two of rable sections, a ring on the end portion of 1 one of the sections, and a tube adapted to be flange adapted to sit against one of the rings,

and having a stud or pin for engaging another of said rings.

' 5. A honograph-horn, comprising a plurality 0 elements adapted to detachably engage with one another and each of which is provided at one end with an alining stop, the stop carried by one element projecting over and engaging the adjacent element.

6. A phonograph-horn comprising a plu rality of interengaging detachable sections, each of said' sections provided at one side with a channel extending in the direction of the length thereof and further provided with a' guide in close proximity to the channels, and each of said sections further having its opposite side provided with a bead extending in the direction of the length thereof, said bead adapted to engage in the channel of an adjoining section.

7. A phonograplnhorn comprising a plurality of interengaging detachable sections, one of said sections having 'lixedl secured thereto and projecting from one on thereof a ring adapted to receive the corresponding ends of the other sections, and a tube adapted to be dctachably connected to the said ring.

8. A phonograph-horn comprising a pluone of said sections having fixedly secured thereto and projecting from one end thereof a ring, another of said sections having fixedly secured near one end thereof a ring arranged in advance of the other ring, forming therf-h; a space between the rings into which the ends of the other sections are positioned, and a tube adapted to be detachably connected to one of said rings and bearing against the other of said rings.

10. A phonograph-horn comprising a plurality of interengaging detachable sections, one of said sections having fixedly secured thereto and projecting from one end thereof a ring, another of said sections having fixedly secured near one end thereof a ringarranged in advance of the other ring, forming thereby a space between the rings into which the ends of the other section are positioned, and a tube provided with a flange carrying a packing, said tube adapted to be detachably eonnccted to one of. said rings, bearing against the other of said rings and having the packing cngaging the inner face of said sections.

In testimony whereof I havehcreunto set my hand in the presence ol two subscribing witnesses.
