Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIGE.
ROGERS A. ABBOTT, OF VVOROESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND GUSTAVUS IV. INGALLS, OE SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN REEDS FOR MELODEONS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 82,268, dated September 22, 1868.
To all lwhom it may concern:
B it known that I, ROGERS A. ABBOTT, of the city and county of Vlforcester, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Reeds for Melodeons, or other instruments of like nature; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l is a top View; Fig. 2, longitudinal section of a reed-socket plate and its reed as provided with my invention. Fig. 3 is an edge view of the reed preparatory to being riveted to the socket-plate.
The head, or that part of the reed which is fastened to the socket-plate, has, prior to my invention, been made with a plane-surfaced bottom. In consequence of this it has been found that after the head has been riveted to the socketplate, such head was sprung or bent down, so as to throw its edges more or less up from the plate. Then this is the ease a vibration of such edge or edges on the plate is apt to ensue during sounding of the reed, the
same being detrimental to its tone, and often productive of an unpleasant sound. As a remedy for the evil, I arch or curve the head of the reed-plate before it is riveted to the soeketplate.
In the drawings, the reed is shown at A, a being its rectangular head, and b its tongue. The soeketplate is shown at B. The head a, is also exhibited as crowned or arched a little lengthwise where it rests on the plate B, the same causing it to be supported on the plate at the extremes ofthe arch. The head is thus caused to rest on the plate, in or about in two lines only, and when riveted thereto, in which ease no vibration of the head on the plate can take place when the reed is sounded.
The improved reed, as made with an arched head, as and for the purpose specified.
ROGERS A. ABBOTT.
