To a?! whom it may cmwcrn:

ie it. known that I, CYRUS C. SHIGLEY,'ZI citizen of the United States, residing at the cityof Grand Rapids, county of Kent, State .of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Imprm'ements in Phonographs, of

- which the following is a specification.

enacting parts.

This invention relates to improvements in The main objects of this invention ares to provide in a phonograph an improved record magazine. Fifth, to provide in a phonograph an improved magazine lock and adpisting mechanism therefor. Sixth, to provide an improved magazine phonograph,

which is simple and compact in structure and easily operated. and, further, one which is not likely to be broken by an unskilled operator or to get out of repair in use.

Further objects, and objects relating to structural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification.

The structure described constitutes one effective embodiment of my invention. Other embodiments would be readily'devised by those skilled in the art.

The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure constituting an effective and preferred embodiment of the features of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which:

' Figure I is a detail front elevation of a structure embodying the features of my invention, the operating parts on the outside of the casing only being shown." Fig. II

is a rear elevation of the magazine and operating mechanism of my improved phonograph. F III is a horizontal section, taken on a line corresponding to line 33 of Fig. II, the control lever being omitted.

Fig. IV is adetail vertical section, taken on a. line-corresponding to line ;ll of Fig. III, showing details of the sound-box ear riage, Fig. V is a detail vertical seet-ion, taken on a line corresponding to line. 5-5 of Fig. III. tion, taken on a line correspondingto line G of Fig. V, showing details of the control mechanism. Fig. VII is adetail section, taken on a line corresponding to line 77 of Fig. VI. Fig. VIII is a detail view partially in section, showing structural details of the carriage (i. Fig. IX is an enlarged detail section taken on a line corresponding to line 9.S) of Fig, I showing details of the index. y

In the drawings, similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, I illustrate only parts of the casing to show the supports for the operating mechanism. The' casing and frame shownv comprise a frontwall 1 side walls 2, rear \ifall '3, and horizontallydisposed pieces 4t. and The sound-box carriage 6 is provided with a way and control mechanlsm, preferably consisting of the rod 7 on which is mounted, for longitudinal and rocking movement, a control member 8. The carriage (i is slidably mounted onthis member 8. The feed screw 9 is arranged parallel with the carriage way, the carriage being provided with a screwengaging member 6'. The control member 8 is adapted to'be rocked on the rod 7 to lift the carriage from engagement with the screw. This lifting means consists of arms 10 and 11 on the sleeve by which the rod 12 is carried, the rod being arranged to engage the under side of the carriage,see Figs. III

with an engagin p rtion adapted to env r so, the arm '1 1o and i no catch 1'? is release-o by the carriage when it reachesthe end of its inoreinenn and, when released member, and, as 5 up on the inclined mbor 14. rocks the con trol member and lifts the carriage from the feed sor v and also the sonnd bmc from. the

record.

The records. as 19. are supported and driven in proper relation to the mprmtncer loymeans of a pair of mandrel members 20 and 21. which are adapted to engage the ends of the cylindrical records, as clearly illustrated in the d 'awingrs. The n andrel member '20 is a driven member. its shaftor spindle being mounted in a suitable beaninp; bracket on thrfraine piece 5. @n the shaft. or spindle 252 is a belt pulley for the motor belt- 25. The feed screw 9 is connected to the shaft by means of the gears 26 and 27. The mandrel member is mounted for longitudinal adjustment. The hearing L8 for the'shaft of spindle of the mandrel member 21. is slidably moimted in the bearing bracket so. mounted on the plate or frame piece 5. l tearing is pi 2rahly sleeve-like or in nlar. and provuiled with a longitudinal groove with which the screw Iii) engages to yn'evont its turning.

To hold the mandrel member ylcldingly in (*ngnp'mrrmrzi with the record under spring tension. l provide a coiled the spring 15 shifts the control .ted, the arm 13, rutling spring 4.0, the arm it of which is connected to the pin 4.2 on the collar 43, while the other arm 1 of the spring is connected to the stud on the frame. 'lf'he spring, thus supported and connected, serves to hold the mandrel member 31 in both positions,that is, the spring is thrown past the center by means of the control member 8, and, when thus shifted, acts in both directions.

To insure the disenga ing of the record from the mandrel member JO, ll preferably provided a tappet all), adapted to engage the :Jtrord supported by the mandrel when the control member 8 is returned.

The magazine illustrated consists of the wheel 47, carried by the shaft l-S, mounted in suitable hangers 49 depending" from the frami yiinco tn sce Fig. IV. The magazine provided with a plurality of record holders 50, which are preferably formed ina series of cylindrical loops, the holders boingropen at their ends to allow the records to be picked up by the mandrel member, and being open on their outer sides to permit the records being engaged by the soundbox stylus, as it is carried along by the carriage. The holders support the records loosely, so that they can be shifted longi tudinally therein and picked upand driven by the mandrels without engaging the walls of the holders while being so driven.

In loading the magazine, the records are simply slipped into the holders, the only care required being to make sure that they are in right end to. Guards 5]. formed of curved wires, are preferably provided for the ends of the holders. These guards hang from the frame piece 5. and are posit ioned so that the .hoiders revolve between them as the magazine is revolved.

The magazine is provided with an index dial arranged on the front of the casing, as illusti' atod. hand 55' is eormretrd by the chain 56 and the sprrmlzet wheels 57 and 58 to the shaft 48 on the i'na r5azine,- so that. as the magazine is f 1 simple driving means permitting slippage in {no event that the crank should be turned while the mggazinc is looked so that no injury results.

The magazine is locked in playing position. and is preferably brought into proper playing position. relative to the sound-box, by means of a locking" member 6. The member 62 is substantially t l-shaped, it being provided with a pair of diverging arms (33 and 64, adapted to engage the pins 65 on The shaft 54 of the indexthe magahine. These pins 65 are placed at uniform distances around the magazine, there being a pin for each record holder. The distance between the points of the arms (33 and U-l is slightly less than the distance or space between the pins,so, that, it is impossible for the locking plates to engage two pins at the same time. The arm (34 is preferably provided with an inclined pinengaging surface 66, which, should it engage one of thcpins, is adapted to shift. the magazines slightly, so as to bring one of its pins betweenthe arms. The arm 6-} is somewhat longer. than the arm (53. As the distance between the outer end of this inclined pin-engaging surface and the point of the other arm is greater than the distance between the pins, the lock is always sure to engage one pin and to swing the magazine into operative position. A

The locking member (32 is preferably provided witha slot G7 at the apex, adapted to receive a pin, and, when .a pin engaged in this slot, the magazine is locked in position. The locking member (32 is mounted on the. longitudinally movable rod 68, carried by the bearing members (if) and TO. A spring, which is preferably arranged on the rod between the bearing member (39 and the member (32. shifts the locking member to its inoperative position. The rod (Z-S'is providedwith anarm 72, having a catch thereon coacting with the catch 74. on the control member 8. \Vhen the control member is in the position shown in the drawings, the catches T3 and'Td engage and the locking plate is retained in position. \Vhen the control member is rocked to disengage the carriage, these catches are disengaged and the locking member released and is returned to its inoperative position by means of the spring 71.

The locking member is shifted to its loclo ing or engaging position on the setting of the carriage. The carriage is set or shifted, and also the control member is shifted to ,the position shown 'in the drawings, by means of the actuating lever 75, one end of which projects through the slot 76 in the front wall of the casing. This lever is mounted in a bearing 77 and provided with a downwardly-projecting arm 78, adapted to engage theproje'ction 179 on the carriage, so. that, when the lever is thrown downwardly, the carriage is thrown over to its starting position, and also the control member isshifted and the locking plate 62 actuated, the arm 72 of the locking plate being.

- positioned to be engagedby the arm of the carriage. The control member 8 also serves to control the motor 80, which s shown mainly in conventional form. The motor is preferably mounted on the upper frame piece 4. The motor control dog. 81, shown in its disengaged position-in Fig. 2, eoacts 'with the stop wheel 82. having a stop'pin S?) thereon. The dog 81 is connected by the rod 84: to the arm 11 on the control member' I 8, so that, when the control memb r actuated tobringthe carriage to itsphrvin'g position, themotor is released, and, at the end of the movement of the carriage, the motor is stopped automatically. The motor crank 85 is yn'eferably arranged on the front wall of the casing, as shown in'lfig. I.

Only a portion of the horn ,Sti is illustrated, as it forms no part of this invention. It. is connected by a suitable flexible connectiongas 87, to the sound-box.

The setting or actuating lever 75 is provided witlra coin control mechanism, the details of which are not described as claims to such features have been withdrawn from this application. I will now describe the operation of my in'iprovcd machine.

The machine is first adjusted to bring the desired record into playing position and this is indicated by the index described. The actuating lever 75 is then forced downwardly and the arm 78 thereof engages the projection 79 onthe carriage (3 and sets the carriage. This same movement through the connections described actuates the magazine locking member (32, bringing the record to the exact reproducing position, as well as locking the magazine in that position. This movement also, through the connections described, namely, the tappet members on the carriage control member and the coacting tappet member on themovable mandrel member, engages the mandrels with the record. picking the record up from the magazine. The control member is actuated against the tension of the spring 15 and is engaged in its set position by the catch 17. The control member is shifted to its set position by the setting of the carriage which engages the left-hand end of the control member toward the end of the setting stroke. As the control member is moved forward, the arm 18 thereonsliding on the inclined pinld rocks the control member control member, carries it to its initial po 'sition. During this movement, the arm 13 sliding on the pin 14 rocks the control member rearwardly to disengage the carriage,

and. through the 'tappet connection de scribed, the record is releasedas well as the forwardly and permits the carriage to enlocking member; a return spring therefor; an arm connected to said locking-member adapted to be engaged by said carriage whereby the locking member is engaged by the; setting of said carriage; and catches on said carriage control member and on said arm adapted to engage when the control member is in its set position and to be disengaged when said control member is rocked to disengage the carriage from the feed screw.
