Application filed March 9, 1908. Serial No. 419,862.

To altwhom it may concern:

. Be it'known that I, EDWIN A; HALL, of;

Hyde Park, in th'e county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain' new and'useful Improvements in Phonograph-Gabinets, of which the following This inventibn relates to a cabinet used for supporting a ing the, phonograph.

The invention has for its'object to enable the sound amplifying horn'of a phonograph. 1

tobe contained mainly: Within the said. cabinet, so that the entire outfit, including cabinet and the horn,

. will-.b e reduced' to compact-form, and the a construction and arrangement of disadvantage and inconvenience of; a hornprojecting outwardly above the phonograph will beiobviated. r

' The invention consists of an graph cabinet and a phonographhorn located in'saidcabinet-and its connection with the traveling diaphragm Of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this-specification,Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a phonograph cabinet "embodying my invent on} and --a phonograph supported thereon. ,resent's' an end elevation, {shown in section.- a v 4 The same letters f-reference indicate the I Fig. 2 rep same parts in all the figures.

here shown, the records are; supported. on slides'c .ha-vi-ng 'front end piecesof, which closeopeningsprovidedin the front of the: cabinet for the insertion and removal of slidesand. records. i n V In carrying out my invention I devote. a portion'of the'interior ofthe cabinet to the storage of" the sound amplifying born c,

he outfit as a whole, in-

appearance 'prethe horn and the cabinet, is therefore reduced 'to a compact form, and presents a much more desirable appearance than-an outfit'in which the horn projects above the phonograph, as usual.

, I'have- -here shown the horn located mid-1 'Way between the ends of the cabinet, the,

spaces between the sides of the horn and the ends of the cabinet bein .utilized to hold narrow record carrying s ides.

I have found that inpractice the horn 15-. cated in the cabinet as shown,

'.-I- claim: 7 phonograph cabinet having horn-receivmg openings in its top and'one side, a horn with an extended curved neck formed in one "piece, the main body of the horn being with- V emits-a'clearer, smoother and .more dlstlnct tone than an or- .1n the cabinet, with its mouth in the side opening,

N

whereof I have aflixed my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
