ACOUSTIGAL INSTRUMENT. APPLICATION FILED JULY 5. 1904. I
' To all ivltom it may concern- UNITED STATES PATENT onnron.
PHILIPP SEILER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO .RQSE CONNETT, OF UPPER MON TGLAIR, NEW JERSEY? ACOUSTIGAL INSTRUMENT.
Be it known that I, PHILIPP SEILER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinols, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Acoustical Instruments, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain im rovementsin acoustical instruments, as or instance .toy horns and has forits object to provide a device of this character of a simple and inexpensive .nature and of animproved construction which shall present certain-features of novelty whereby sounds of, different natures are adapted to be pro-.
duced, so -that the use of the device ,is calculated to afford greater amusement to children and other persons.
The invention consists broadly in an acoustical instrument in the form of a conical, elongated hollow body, one end of which is resonant and-provided with a clapper and the other end is provided with a reed.
It also consists in certain novelfeatures of the construction, combination and arrange-,
merit. of the several parts ofthe instrument, whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device is rendered simpler, cheaper and "otherwise better adapted and more convenient for use, all as will be hereinafter fully set forth.
- The novel features of the invention will be In thea'ccompanying drawings which serve to illustrat'e the inventionFigure 1 is a perspective view showing a toy horn embodying -my improvements, andFig. 2 is an axial section taken through the device and showing certain features of construction.
In the drawings I have shown my invention in the form of a 'toy horn in which 1' indicates the body portion of the horn which is formed from sheet metal in a well. known conical form having at its larger end an opening 2 and having at its smaller end 2 a diagonal or beveled reed opening over which Patented Feb. 25, 3.908.
over theend of the body portion 1 so as to lessen in any way the vibrations of the device in sounding. I
The conical body portion of the horn is adapted to serve asa bell and in it is arranged a clapper or striker '6 held on a'w'ire or rod 7,
the body portion and secured thereto by means of solder orthe like. The clapper or striker 6 is adjacent to the larger end of the tapered horn and is adapted, when the de-. vice is swung to and fro, to strike upon the wall of the horn adjacent to its largerend.
In the use of the instrument,'it may beused either as an ordinary horn, the mouth piece bein applied to the lips so that the orn may be own or sounded in the usual way, or it may be used as a bell, the tube 4 and mouth iece 5 being grasped in the hand so that the evice may be swung to cause the loosely mounted clapper or striker to swing back and forth'so as to strike the'walls of the body portion so that a sound somewhat similar to that ofla cow-bell is produced, or the outer end maybe swung back and forth while it is being blown, thus producing a minglingof the two sounds.
'An instrument constructed as above described is of an extremely simple and inexensive nature and is'especially well adapted or use since it permits of being employed to produce either the sound of an ordinary toy horn or of a hell, or both, so that the device is especially welladapted foruse in celebrations of various kinds, as for example, political gatherings and the like.
It will also be obvious from the above descriptionthat the instrument is ca able of some modification without materia departure from theprinciples and spirit of the invention, and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise' form and arrangement, of the several partsof'the device'herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice.
Having thus v described my invention, I
'claim- 1. An acoustical instrument comprising a conical, elongated, hollow body, the larger end of which is resonant and provided with a clapper and'the smaller-end is provided with e reed. I
2. acoustical instrument soul-prising a conical, elongated, hollow body, the larger end of which islesonant and the smaller end is provided with e reed, a support interme dint/e the ends of the body, and s'eieppei' ieosely connected With the support in position to strike the inner wells of the resonant end.
3. A horn, having a, body, a striker tongue suspended Within the body of the horn and adopted to strike the some, whereby the body and said tongue foi'm heli.
4. A horn provided with e fleeingbody portion, and s striking tongue suspended Within the flared body and edented to strike eompi'ises beli.
,5. A horn having a, body, a rod. suspended Within the body of the horn, and provided -With s striker adapted to strike the inside of the horn. body,
e. A horn having a resonant body, and a :striker having means for supporting it in relation to said body and adapted to strike the the some, whereby. the body and said tonguestrikes. f
lil homes; at mouthpiece portion and e flaring extension t refrain, a, fiexihie rod or wire secured to the inside of the horn intermediate the mouthpiece and end of said flexing extension, a striker on the end of flexible rod or wire adapted to strike the inside of said extension. I v
having a mouthpiece portion 2 extension therefrom, a striker ing within said extension and 0 thereof, and means for flexibiy supporting said striker within the horn and from. s, g L-int between seid mouthpiece end the end of said extension.
A horn having a resonant body, and e striker ineiosed therein, whereby the reso nent body and said striker form bell.
v In testimony whereof I hereunto have signed my name in presence of two subsoribing witnesses at Ghioago, Illinois, this 29th day of June, 1904.
