The talking machine world (Jan-Dec 1906)

THE TALKING MACmNE WORLD. 27 novel form of mechanism for automatically operating the motor-brake after the sound-box has entirely completed the reproduction of the record. The object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive and efficient device of this character which will automatically apply the brake to the motor, and thereby positively stop the latter when the machine has finished playing a record. A further object of the invention is to provide a trip-lever adapted to be engaged by the reproducer arm to automatically apply the brake, said trip-lever being provided with a longitudinallyadjustable pin or screw whereby the device may be set for stopping the actuating motor at any predetermined time. In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Pig. 1 is a perspective view of a phonograph, showing this improved brakeapplying device applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device detached. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the same, and Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the connecting-link and a portion of the rod detached. Folding Phokogbaph Horn. Martin L. Munsou, New York, N. Y. Patent No. 813,814. This invention relates to horns such as are attached to phonographs or similar instruments for intensifying sound and throwing it in any desired direction. The object of the invention is to produce a horn of simple construction which may be folded so as to occupy a small space, enabling the horn to be conveniently carrried or packed for transportation. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the horn, representing the same in its open or expanded condition. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the horn when expanded as in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the horn in a folded or collapsed condition. Folding Phonograph Horn. James T. Brown, New York, N. Y. Patent No. 811,900. This invention relates to a horn especially adapted for use with phonographs or similar devices; and the objects are to provide a simple and durable form of collapsible horn which can be conveniently adjusted and which will be held rigidly in its expanded position. Referring to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, and in which similar reference symbols indicate corresponding parts in the several views. Figure 1 is a side elevation illustrating one embodiment of my invention in its expanded position. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section, showing the collapsible portion of the horn in folded position. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view illustrating a pre Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view, on a larger scale, taken on a line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view, on a larger scale, illustrating a modification in which the collapsible portion is provided with interior guard-rails. Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view, on a large scale, taken on the line of 5 5 of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view, on an enlarged scale, showing one ferred form of latch for locking the two portions of the horn together. Phonogbaph-Horn. James T. Brown, New York, N. Y. Patent No. 813,999. . This invention relates to an improved horn especially adapted for use with phonographs or similar devices; and relates especially to the type of collapsible horn described in pending appli cation, Serial No. 239.241, filed December 24, 1904, of which this is a divisional application. An object of the invention is to provide a horn which will eliminate the harsh and metallic sounds occurring with existing types of horns when applied to sound-reproducing devices. A further object is to provide a simple and compact form of collapsible horn which will be more dur able than existing constructions and which can be conveniently adjusted and rigidly held in its expanded position. Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation illustrating one embodiment of the invention in its expanded position. form of latch for locking together the mouthpiece and collapsible trumpet portion of the horn. Fig. 7 is a side elevation partly in section, showing the collapsible trumpet portion of the horn in folded position. Fig. 8 is a sectional view illustrating a modification in which the mouthpiece is formed of leather. Fig. 9 is a side elevation of the mouthpiece shown in Fig. 8; and Fig. 10 is a sectional view on the line 10 10 of Fig. 9, illustrating the manner of joining the leather blank of the mouthpiece. Horn for Phonographs, Bar-Trumpets, Etc. Gustave H. Villy, Manchester, Eng., assignor to United States Horn Co., New York, N. Y. Patent No. 12,442. This invention relates to improvements in connection with horns or trumpet-like sound distributors or collectors for use upon phonographs, gramophones, and other like instruments, and also for ear-trumpets, fog-horns, and other sound distributing and collecting devices, the object being to provide a horn or trumpet-like device whicn can be folded when not in use, so as to be capable of ready transportation and for placing within the case of the phonograph or in the pocket of the user when it is to be applied to an ear instrument or the like. Another important patent for phonograph horn (No. 811,877) has been granted to C. A. Senne, of New York, which we are unable to illustrate in this issue. We understand that he is prepared to receive offers for this patent. A Line That Goes Well With Talking Machines Write /or Catalogue and Prices J A C O T Music Box Co. 39 Union Sq., New York
