Abstract: 20,323. Smith, C. C. Jan. 4, 1915. Multiple; raising and lowering sound-boxes ; starting and stopping; brakes, arrangement of.- Records are contained in a vertical rack from which the selected record is removed and placed into position under the reproducer hy carriers controlled by hand-operated mechanism ; a counterweighted slide moving vertically and controlled by the hand-operated mechanism lowers the reproducer to the record and simultaneously closes the circuit of the driving electric motor ; at the conclusion of the piece, a projection on the surface of the record raises the reproducer and stops the motor. The apparatus may be used with or without coin-freed mechanism. The operator inserts a coin, if necessary, and then rotates a knob 5<b>, Fig. 1, in the clockwise direction, thereby withdrawing an arm 6 from engagement with a lever 20 linked to a spindle 22<a> extending across the machine, whereupon counterweighted levers 22<d> rotate this spindle, and, through links 22<b>, raise the pivoted extensions 17<a> of rails 17 on which travel the record-carriers 13. Simultaneously a guided slide 24, Fig. 3, counterbalanced by a weight 25<b> and connected to the spindle 22<a>, is raised, an arm 24<b> projecting from the slide lifting the reproducer 26 from the table 16. As the rotation of the knob 5<b> continues, the arm 6 raises a spring controlled rod 7, thereby, through levers and links, moving the carriers 13 along the rails 17 and transferring the record last played from the table 16 to the rack 15, Fig. 8. Each carrier bears arms 12<f>, 13<a> for gripping the record, the arms 12<f> being fixed to plates which are lifted during the movement of the carriers to clear the shelf of the magazine, and the spring-controlled arms 13<a> are pivoted to the plates and put into and out of engagement with the record by means of projections 17 , 17<d>. At the conclusion of the rotation of the knob 5<b> in the clockwise direction, a spring-controlled locking-catch 19, Fig. 5, snaps into a notch 5<d> in a disk 5 and frees a wheel 18, which can then be rotated by hand to raise or lower the rack and bring the selected record into position. The knob 5<b> is then rotated in the reverse direction, the arm 6 successively engaging the rod 7 and lever 20, whereupon the selected record is moved over the table 16, the rail extensions 17<a> are moved down, and the slide 24 is lowered permitting the stylus of the reproducer to drop on to the record. Simultaneously a spring- controlled trigger lever 27 pivoted to the slide closes the circuit of the driving-motor through contacts 28 and removes a brake lever 29 from engagement with the table 16. Finally, a projection 32 on the surface of the record raises the tone arm which trips a detent 33 permitting the trigger lever to turn and break the circuit and simultaneously apply the brake 29 to the table.
