page_text: I, JAMES JEPSON BINNS, of Hough Lane Bramley, near Leeds, Organ Builder, do
hereby declare the nature of this Invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and the following
statement:
The object of my invention is to provide the organist with means to set any given
combination of stops required; such combination to be interchangeable, and is a
further improvement upon my prior Patent No. 122149.
Fig. 2 is a plan of Fig. 1.
A is the rod in direct communication with stop knob, B is the adjustable poppet in
the slot of rod A, C is the moveable bar for setting the adjustment of poppet B, D ale
points of contact on moveable bar C; E, E', are points of contact on poppet B, F is
the spring for locking poppet on either side of its pivot, G G are pins for controlling
the distance of movement of the poppet, H is centre on which the poppet works or
pivots, J is rod for actuating the moveable bar C either by pedal, knob, or piston.
K are the grooves in which the bar C works, L is the framework of the action,
M and M' are the fans for working the combination set, N is the connecting rod from
fan levers or arms for reversing the action. O is the connecting rod from fan M to
piston, knob or pedal.
The rods A which are connected with the draw stop knobs, are provided with
a poppet B for each separate combination, the movement of the bar C is controlled
and actuated either by pedal, piston, or knobs as required.
The fans M and M² are actuated either by pedal or piston.
The action is as follows:-To set the desired combinations. Draw all the stops A
and their rods on (at the front) which are required on, and push all the stops and
rods A off which are required off, actuate the bar C by the rod J, and the points
D D will come into contact with points E or E¹ (according to the way A is set) and
will reverse the poppet.
The rods A (which are out) with their poppets will make contact with point D and
point El causing point E to rise and be ready for movement of fan M¹.
In the reverse; the stops A being off, when bar C is actuated will make contact
between the points D and E causing the poppet to rise at point E¹, thus making ready
for the movement of fan M.
When the rod O is pushed towards A, it causes the fan M to move forwards, and
actuates, by means of the connecting rod N, the fan M', the fans moving in opposite
directions whichever way the rod A is pulled.
Therefore when fans M¹ and M are set in motion if E¹ is up, the stop A will be
thrust in, and if E is up the stop A will be thrust out,

page_text: To set the poppet automatically in either of its positions, the spring F is provided,
its ends abutting in grooves T T and causing the necks B', to be thrust onto the
working pins G which registers the required movement.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In pneumatic or mechanical organs the rods A provided with pivotted
poppets B having springs F, bar C with rod J, fans M and M¹ connected by
rods N and O for obtaining the required combination as and for the purposes
substantially as shown and described.
2. In pneumatic or mechanical organs the pivotted spring poppets B in the rods A
as and for the purposes substantially as shown and described.
