Title: Improvements in Upright Piano-actions.
Inventor: GUILD GEORGE MORSE
Filed: 1902-09-20
Granted: 1902-11-13
Abstract: 20,585. Guild, G. M. Sept. 20. Pianofortes, actions for. The jack 27 is pivoted near its lower end to a lever 30 carried by an adjustable rail 32, and is arranged so that the lower end is thrown outwards when the key is struck. At its upper end, the jack has a spring 28 connected to the hammer butt 17 by a tie 29. At an intermediate point it rests against a lever 38, and the outward movement of its lower end causes it to turn round the end of the lever 38 as a point of support, and press its upper end inwards under the hammer butt during the greater part of its movement. The set-off is effected by a projection 39 on the lever 38 engaging with an adjustable button 40 on the jack. The lever 38 is moved by the jack, in order to effect the set-off, by a pin 42, which, during the earlier stages of the stroke, engages with the outer end of the lever, the movement of which is therefore comparatively slow. Later on it engages with it at a point nearer its fulcrum, causing it to move rapidly and effect the set-off suddenly. Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate this point of the invention. The hammer check engages with a projection 46 of the jack. The damper is operated from the lever 38 by a pin 50. In place of the ordinary soft-pedal action, the pedal raises a rail 52 which lifts the inner ends of the keys, and brings the hammers closer to the strings, thus reducing their travel.
