Granted: 1909-10-04
Abstract: 20,831. Jenkinson, S. Oct. 2. Organs &c.-In an organ of the type wherein additional reeds b are provided which may be coupled with the reeds of the end octaves, means are provided whereby the pallets c of the end octaves may or may not operate the pallets h of the additional reeds, according to the position of a cranked-rod q which is controlled by a stop. With the rod q in its lower position, the pallet c pivots about the pin f, on the depression of the sticker d by the operation of a key, the stationary end of the pallet c being supported by the spring-pressed pallet h. When the coupler is in action, however, the rod q is raised to the position shown in full lines, so that, when the sticker d is depressed, the pallet c points about the pin e, causing the pallet h to open and sound the additional reed. Two modifications are described, in one of which the pallet h is normally supported by the pallet c and is adapted to fall by gravity on depression of the latter, while in the other, the keys either depress the stickers direct, or through cranked rods, thereby increasing the opening of the pallets c. Stops are provided for these pallets so that if they are depressed far enough, they pivot about these stops and open the pallets of the additional reeds.
