Title: Improvements in Autopneumatic Piano Players.
Inventor: ALLISON CHARLES ARTHUR
Filed: 1901-05-16
Granted: 1902-04-10
Abstract: 10,153. Allison, C. A., [Engelhardt, F., and Roth, A. P.]. May 16. Automatic instruments.-The invention relates to improvements in automatic piano players, and comprises the following heads:-(1) The ducts leading from the tracker-board are provided with filtering screens to intercept dust. (2) The pedal - operating device consists of a rack g<7> hinged at g<8> and operated by a small pneumatic g<5>. It is caused to engage with a lever h, which operates the pedal, by a spring g<9>, and disengaged by the pneumatic. The bellows g, which distributes the vacuum to the pneumatic g<5>, is connected to the tracker-board by a duct i<1>, and the hole in the tune-sheet corresponding to i<1> is cut slightly in advance of a second hole which controls a duct g<1>. This second hole leads to a pneumatic i, which controls another pneumatic i<4> connected to the lever h. The effect is that the lever h is first released by the rack and then actuated by the pneumatic g<5>, after which it is re-engaged by the rack. In the case of the soft pedal, the lever h may be locked in more than one position, so as to obtain different degrees of softness. The pedals may also be operated by hand, and, to enable this to be done, provision is made for first closing by means of a hand-actuated valve the passage b<8>, which distributes the vacuum to the pneumatics above described. (3) In order to prevent the receiving-bellows from becoming too much exhausted, they are fitted with a flap with which a pin on the movable board engages when the receiver collapses. The flap is thus opened, and admits'wind to the receiver. The amount admitted may, however, be controlled by a valve operated by hand which obstructs the admission of air to the flap.
