To all whont it Hui/y concern:

Be it known that I, Ronnn'r Horn-Jonas, a citizen of Great Britain, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Organs, of which the following is a full, clear, and. exact specification.

This invention relates to an improved economical and convenient method of controlling stops and couplers in pipe-organs. object is to provide means whereby in drawing on the stops or couplers in one department of the organ a stop or stops forming a suitable accompaniment thereto may also be drawn on in another department of the organ. sults are obtained may be pneumatic, electric, or electropneumatic.

Although this invention may be used in connection with any two departments of the organ, it finds its most frequent use in con nection with the pedaldepartmcnt in providing a suitable bass for whatever stops are drawn upon any of the manual-departments,

and it is therefore described herein in connec- "tion with the pedal-department of the organ,

although itwill be understood that its use is not limited thereto.

Figure'l of the drawings is a front vlew of a portion of the console of a two-manual or gan. Fig. 2 is a side view in section through the line 22 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrow. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view of a portion of the console in section through the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view showing the arrangement and relation of the parts when connected and controlled by electric devices. In this View there is shown only a portion of the stop and coupler tablets of each department of the organ, and the tablets and suitable bass rods are shown at right angles to their true position relative to their connectedparts in order to show in a single view the relation of the parts. Fig. 5 is a similar view showing one method of connecting and controlling the parts by pneumatic devices. Fig. 6 is a side view, and Fig. 7 a front view, of a pair of associated composition pedals.

In securing the automatic action of the pedal stops and couplers so that they may at will provide the desired suitable bass a set ofsmall motors is provided for drawing all pedal stops or couplers into their oil posi- E-ipecification of Letters Patent.

pedals affecting the stopsand couplers ofthe manual-department of the organ subsidiary' c on mosition pedals are provided and,con-. nected by electric, pneumatic, or electropneumatic means with the stops and couplers of the pedal-department of the organ. These subsidiary composition pedals, or those parts of them which are engaged by the foot'of the organist,-are preferably placed below the or- Z dinary composition pedals, so that after a certain amount of movementof the upper pedal the lower pedal will also be operated,

Referring to the drawings, the console 11 has two rows of manual-keys 12 and 13, the' upper one, 12, representing the swellorganand the lower one, 13, the great organ. The console 11 is provided in its upper portion with" a series of actions comprising stop keysor tab- 1 lets which control the stops and couplers of the organ, the series beginning with 102 representing the tablets affecting the pedal-departs" ment, while those beginning with 126 and, 123 represent those affectingthe great and. swell manual -departments, respectively. The i outer ends of the tablets project through the casing of the console to within convenientreach of the organist. Each of tlie tablets, as 105, 18 provided with a contact-plate 111,-, Fig. 2, and a pair of contacts 112 and .113, soft that the movement of the tablct'on the pivot 106 will close the circuit through one or the Below each manual is a suitable bass pushtion, and a set of larger motors, is provided 1 button or

The circuit closed by the collar 28 serves to throw to the oil position any'of the pedal stops or couplers which may be on at the time the circuit is closed. The circuit of the collar 29 serves to couple the great keys to those of the pedal-organ".

The three insulated collars 28, '29, and 30 could obviously be combined in one, with the contacts suitably arranged around its periphery. For the sa'ke of 'cle arness, however, they have been drawn separately. The circuit of the fourth colla'lffal is for use when the sivell-orgsn is coupled to the great organ, as will be more fully explained hereinafter.

The wire 40 of the circuit of the collar leads by means of

branch wires

135, 136, and

any of the great-organ tablets "a and 4, and

137, ig. 4, to contact-points in the vicinity of each of the great-organ tablets 126, 83c. A contact-plate 132 133 134 is provided on the: inner end of each tablet 126 127 128, Figs.

closes the circuit across the contact-points of the

wires

135 and 138, 136 and 139, 137 and 140 when the tablet is moved to its on position. Each wire 138 139 140, 50., leads to the electropneumatic valve which controls that motor of the series 96 ii 94, &c., which will throw on the tablet 2 103 104, &c., of a pedal-stop suitable to company the manuahstop of the tablet 1;.3 127 128,&c., to which the wire 138 139 141, &c., is connected. More than one pedalstop may be connected with any one of the manual-stops by providing additional contact-points tor the tablet 127 and connecting them as above described.

The

wires

41 and 42 of the collar 31 are provided for the purpose of forming a circuit which will enable the tablets 123, &c., of the swell-organ to operate their respective suitable bass stops whenever the great and the swell organs are coupled together. The tablet 128, Fig. 4, represents the great-to-swell coupler and is seen to be provided with three contact-points, so that the current passing through the wire 137 passes to the wire 41 as well as to the wire 140; The latter operates the swell-to-pedal motor 94, described above in connection with the motor 93. The wire 41 is connected, by means of the collar 31, to the wire 42, leading to the contact-points of the swell-organ tablets 123, &c. When one of these tablets is thrown on, it will therefore throw on at the same time its own suitable bass stop. The wire 41 could be joined directly to the wire 42 without the intervention of the collar 31 and still perform its function properly so far as the great organ is con cerned; but when the swell-organ suitable.

bass rod is pushed in the direct joining of these two Wires would permit the current to ass through the contactlate 134, Fig. 4, 1f the tablet 128 happens to be on at the moment, to the contact-plates 132, &c., of which also happened to be on, thus causing their connected suitable bass stops to be thrown on, and

these stops would be unsuitable for the stops of theiswell-organ. The circuit is therefore carried through the collar 31, so that the circuitfjwill be opened when the suitable bass rod 25 of the great organ is pushed. off by the pushing on of the swell-rod 15.

The mode of operation of these devices is their oil' positions as long as the suitable bass as follows: When the suitable bass rod 25 of the great organ is pushed in, the

collars

28, 29, and 30 join the

wires

38, 39, and 40 to the battery through the contacts 32 33 34 36 and the battery-wire 43, the

wires

41 and 42 being at the same time joined by the collar 31-. The current immediately passes over the

wires

38 and 30. The former energizes the magnet 51, Fig. '2, causing it to lift the valve-disk 52 from its seat in the recess thereby operating, as above described, to expand all the motors 68 which are connected by the pipe or tube 71, and thus throwing oil such of the tablets 102,- &c., as are in the on position.

This upper series of motors therefore tends to hold all the pedal stops and couplers in rod 25 remains pushed in. The current also passes immediately over the wire 30 as soon as the rod 25 is pushed in. The magnet 76 is therefore energized and causes one oi the larger motors Q3 of the lower series to expand, thereby throwing on the great-topedal coupler by means of the tablet 105 overcoming the resistance of the upper motor This is the position of the parts shown in Fig. 2, both.

motors

68 and 93 being in communication with. the chambers 63 and I 38, and therefore containing air under pressure. The pushing in of the stop-rod 25 may not immediately cause the current to pass over the wire -10, as the circuit may be open at other points. Let us now suppose that the

tablets

126 and 127 oi the great or gun (represented in Fig. 4) are those 01 the open diapason and the Hold-flute stops, that the tablet 123 is that of the s\\ 'ellto-great lets 127the i'lohl fluteoe thrown on, the

current will pass from the wire 40 through the branch 136 and. the contact-piece 133 to the wire 139. The magnet 74, controlling the large motor 95, will be energized and cause that motor to expand and throw on the pedal Bourdon stop by means 01' its tablet 1.03, this action also taking piacc against the resistance of the corresponding smaller motors 63, this being the position of the parts I shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4. Similarly, if the open diapason-tablet 126 be thrown on the current will pass and operate the motor 96 and throw on the open diapason pedalstop. it will also be seen that two or more pcdahstops may be thrown on by the o eration of one of the manual-stops by supp ying the latter with additional contact-points. 11 now the great-organ tablet 128, the swellto-great coupler, be operated, the current will pass from the branch 137 to the

wires

140 and 41. The former wire will throw on the pedal-tablet 104, and thereby operate the swell-to-pedalcoupler. The latter wire establishes u circuit through the insulated collar 31 to the wire 42, which leads by bmnches 120, Hi, and 122 to each oi the contactplates ol' the stop and coupler tablets F23, F24, and 125 ol the s\\'ell-or;1'an, thus permitting each one ol' them to opei its suitable bass stop by means l' one of the wires H7, similarly as described tor the {great organ. When any one ol' the table 126, 530., is thrown again to its oil the pressure in its connected large motor is exhausted, thus pern'iittiue the correspo2m-- ing small motor, which is always supplied ls position,

with pressure while the rod '25 is pushed in, to act and throw oil its pedal-stop When the suitable buss rod 15 ol the swell-organ is pushed in, the current passes over the wire 141 to the Wire 38 and throws oli' all the pedal-stops as ljicl'ore, while the current overthe wire 142 passes to the wire I40 and throws on the swell-to-pedal coupler. The current may also now pass over the wire 14 3 to the Wire 42 and its branches as. soon any of the swcll tublets are tl bringing on suitable pedal-stops tl'zrtuigh the wires H7, as already described. It collar corresponding to the collar 31 is unnecesszzrv on the suitable bass rod 15 of the swelluiirgan, as the great organ is never played from the swell-organ. By means of the mecha-i'iism referred to in connection with the latchboard 21 only one oi the

suitable bass rods

15 or 25 can be in its pushed-in position at the same moment. The circuit over the wires "11 and 42 through the collar 31 is there fore broken as soon as the swell-rod 15 is pushed in, thus pret outing the ein'rent from passing through the contact-piece tit t of the swell-t0-great coupler-tsblet 128 in case it irown on, thus happens to be on, and thereby preventing the drawing on of the suitable pedal-stops o'l such. of the great-organ stops as also happen to be on at the moment.

In Fig. 5 is shown in diagrammatic form one method of controlling and operating the automatic suitable has mutic means. The suitable bass knobs 14- und 24 and

rods

15 and 25 are arranged, before, within convenient reach of the organist and are provided with a similar mechanism, permitting only one of the rods to be inthe pushed-in position at the same time. When one of the rods as, for exain'iple, that of the great 0rgan--is pushed in, the wedge admitting pressure 153 lifts the valve ].)2 from the chamber 15] to the tubes 154. and From the latter it passes through the check-valve box 162 to the tube lfitipbeing prevented from entering the tube 188 to the swell-pressure chamber 189 by the checkvalve. 161, which may be oi. any we] -lno .vn f0rm.-.

pedaLt-oupler motor, and to the tube 190,

from which it reaches the duct -boxes 179, the valve 187 swinging over and preventing any pressure from passing through the tube 184 to the stop-actions, which should be-operated only from the great organ.

in 6 and 7 is illustrated a method oi arranging the compositionpedzils of the organ so that a. suitable bass may be easily and conveniently provided to: (ti-(fill. composition of stops. The compositioii-pedal 226 is of a. Well-known type, being pivoted at 227 and havinga spring 228 to return it, to its oil' position when released. Each of these pedals is connected to its particular combination oi manual stops and couplers by'any wellknown means, either electric, pneumatic, or electropneumatic. In Fig. 6 electric means are shown, in which 260 a contactpicce aptnirtenant to the pedal 226, 261 a wire leading to the battery, while a number of contacbpoints 262 and wires 263 lead to the dill'erent stops of the great (or swell) organ controlled by tl Adjacent to the pedal 2% andpivoted at 237 a subsidiary composition-pedal 236 the tube 166 to the A iis particular pedal.-

eraser connected by any well-known means with some stop or combination of stops and couplers 1n the pedal-organ which will form a suitable bass for the combination of stops controlled by its associated upper pedal 226. The means bywhich this pedal controls its connecting-steps are here also shown to be electric. Th 'contact-piece 270 is-appurtenant to the subsidiary pedal 236' and has a 1 wire 271 leading theretromto the battery,

wliile a number of contact-points 272 and 1 .wires2 73 lead to the difl'erent stops controlled by this particular pedal. The footiece239 lot the subsidiary pedal 236 is place just below and in front of the foot-piece 229 of A spring 238, preferably position when released. Both. pedals extend through an opening 248 in the console-frame 11, theytop 249 of the openii'ig serving as a sto forthe u Ward movement ot the upper pe al236, whole the bottom 250 of the opening serves as a stop for the downward movement of the lower edal 236. The upward movement of the atter is stopped by the rod 240,. The two

pedals

226 and 236, with their stops, are "so located relatively to each the parts is as follows: in bringing one of the g other that the foot of the organist will come in contact with the ioot-piece 239 of the lower pedal after the upper pedal has been moved a predetermined distance. This amoundot movement is more than enough to cause the first pedal to throw on its connected stops and couplers, and the increased resistance due to the compressing of both springs at the same time enables the organist to know just when the second pedal is put in operation. The lower pedal may also be operated independentlyof the up or one, and the diiierence in the stifl'ness ot the springs indicates to the organist which of the two pedals he has his foot on. The operation of composition-pedals 226 into play the organist puts his foot upon it in the usual manner, After the pedal has descended a short distance and has thrown on its own combine tion. of sto s and couplers the foot of the organist wil come in contact with the subsidiary composition-pedal 236, and if he ex erts an increased amount of ressure the subsidiary composition-pedal wi 1 also be operated and bring on the necessary pedal stops and couplers to form a'suitab'le bass to x the combination drawn onbythe associated upper composition-pedal 226.

It is obvious that the method of arranging may be arranged to contact upon the ower pedal, so as to push it downward without its foot-piece being engaged by the foot of the their respective tablets.

organist, or the pedals may be placed side by side, their pivots substantially in line, and the foot-pieces may be arranged to stand side by side during their common movement. It is obvious also that pairs of tablets. to be operated by the hand of the organist could be arranged to produce similar results.

An important feature of the suitable bass apparatus, as described abovein connection with the

suitable bass rods

15 and 25, is that it always operates the'pedal stop and coup ler tablets, as well as the stops and couplers themselves, thus indicating to the eye what stops or combinations of stops have been affected. The position of the organ-stops is therefore always indicated'to the organist in .the same way, whether the suitable bass is in operation or not.

The terms u per, lower, outer, and siini ar terms denoting relative position are herein used in their relative and not their absolute sense, inasmuch as the parts herein shown may be reversed, inverted, or transposed in many ways that will be obvious to the organ builder or designer. The actions, circuits, and connections herein shown and described may be modified in many obvious ways to suit difierent sizes of organs or to suit various conditions of space and service.
