DESIGN FOR A VIOLIN-CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 35,833, dated April 1, 1902.

Application filed February 5, 1902. Serial No. 92.751. Term of patent 14 years.

To ctZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NELSON E. KENNEDY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented and produced a new and original Design for Violin-Cases; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a side elevation, Fig. 2 is a plan, and Fig. 3 is an end View, of my newly-designed case.

As shown in the accompanying drawings, the leading or material feature of my design consists in the outlines as follows: In side elevation the longitudinal center of the top extends upward from the top edges a of the larger part b, on an approximately straight line a, for a short distance, when it gradually merges into a convex outline d at the center of the larger part b. Thence the outline changes very gradually from a convex to a slightly-concave outline e, which extends to near the extremityfof the small part 9 of the case. At said small part the outline rounds downward, as at 7t, to the bottom of the case, where the lower edge of the small part, at its extremity, is rounded ate. Thence the outline c" proceeds at the said bottom at an inclination to the central horizontal plane of the device, (represented by the joint or linej,) the inclined line i being slightly concave, to a convex outline lat about the center of the bottom of said smaller part g. From the downward convexityl the bottom takes an upward course, as at m, the convexity gradually merging into a concave bottom outline n, which proceeds to about the center of the case-b0ttom, when the outlines again gradually change to a downward and long convexity 0, reaching to the extremity of the large part b, where the lines take an upward course 19 to the place of beginning, the edges being rounded at op in Fig. 1.

In plan the case, at the extremity of itslarger part b, is convex at 10, the convexity changing toward the opposite sides of the case, so that the curved lines at 11 11 are formed on shorter radii. From the convex curves 11 11 the opposite side outlines at 12 12 merge into concave outlines, the curves being formed on very long radii and the said curved outlines being somewhat inclined one to the other, so that the width of the wider part b of the case is somewhat reduced at the inner end of said wider part. At said inner end of said wider part the concaved lines merge into convex lines at 13 13 at opposite sides of the case, and these in turn again change into concave lines 14 14, lying at the connection of the wide and narrow parts I) g of the case. Proceeding toward the end of the small or narrow part g of the case the opposite concavities 14C 14 change to opposite convex lines 15 15, formed on long radii, and these convex lines gradually merge into slightly-concave lines 17 17 to near the end of the case, where the opposite lines are joined by a convex outline 18.

In end view the rounded opposite outlines on the central longitudinal vertical plane of the case at the top and bottom of the case appear as curving convergently toward the longitudinal side edges 19 19 20 20.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is The design fora violin-case as herein shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 28th day of January, 1902.

NELSON E. KENNEDY.
