VIOLIN SUPPORT.
APPLICATION FILED MAR. 30, 1909.
Patented June 22, 1909.
FRANK R. JOHNS, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
VIOLIN-SUPPORT.
Application filed March 30,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, Fnann R. dorms, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and j useful Improvements in Violin-Supports, of l which the following is a specification.
This invention designed to provide a device by which a violin may be supported in position for playing, with greater ease and facility; and to this end it consists in a novel. construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed. l
ln the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a per spective view of the holder. Fig. 2 is a perspective device showing the manner in which the holder operates to support the violin.
Referring more particularly to the drawing. 3 and l denote the jaws of a clamping member by which the holder is attached to ilieviolin, the jaw 3 engaging the back, and the jaw the belly. ltlach jaw is a strip of metal of suitable length to obtain a firm hold. The ends of the jaw 3 project a short distance beyond the edge of the back and from each of said ends rise threaded stems 1%. The ends of the jaw l extend in a like manner over the edge of the belly, and are formed with depending threaded stems d 'lhe stems 3 and P are in axial alinement, and on said stems are screwed nuts 2 to form a turn-buckle. The threads of the stems run in opposite directions, so that upon turning the nuts 2, the jaws may be caused to grip the violin with sufficient firmness to properly support the holder. Upon turning the nuts in the opposite direction, the jaws are released in an obvious manner. Between the stems l is mounted a plate 1 having its ends fl bent around said stems and thus secured thereto. To the face of this plate is pivotally mounted at T a channeled plate (3, which supports the holder proper. Said holder comprises a shank 5 held in the channel of the plate (3, a stem 5 projecting forwardly from the shank, and a downwardly extending tongue 5 at the outer end of the stem. The purpose of the stem is to properly space the tongue from the violin.
In use, the device is secured to the violin Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 22, 1909.
1909. Serial No. 86,756.
near the chin as shown in the drawings, and upon placing the violin in playing position, the tongue 5 is inserted. under the collar of the player as clearly shown in Fig. 2. l i ith the parts in this position, the violin can be easily held in playing position, and at the same time it is free to be turned to any angle by reason of the pivotal connection 7. F or the purpose of facilitating the turning of the nuts 2. they are provided with apertures 2 into which a suitable key or pin may be inserted.
I claim:
1. A support for violins comprising a clamping member engagcable with the violin, a stem projecting from said member, and a depending tongue at the outer end of the stem.
A support for violins comprising a' clamping member engageable with the violin, a stem projecting from said member, and pivotally mounted thereon, and a depending tongue at the outer end of the stem.
3. A, support for violins comprising a plate. a channeled plate pivotally mounted thereon. a shank supported in the channel of the plate, a stem projecting from the shank. and terminating in a depending tongue, and means for scan-ing the lirst-mentioned plate to the violin.
d. A support for violins comprising a clamping member engageable with the violin, a pivoted channeled plate carrier by said member. a shank supported in the channel of the plate, and a stem projecting from the shank, and terminating in a depending tongue.
5. A support for violins comprising clamp ing jaws engageable with the violin, threaded stems pro ectlng from the jaws,
nuts into which the stems screw, a plate carriel by the jaws, a channeled plate pivoted to said plate, a shank supported in the channel, a stem projecting from the shank, and a depending tongue at the outer end of the stem.
In testimony whereof I allix my signature, in presence ot two witnesses.
