Case for Perforated Music Sheets for Mu-
sical Instruments. Timothy B. Powers, New
York, assignor to the Magnetic Piano Co.,
New Jersey. Patent No. 682,272.
This invention has reference to improve-
ments in the class of instruments or attach-
ments for playing pianos, organs, or other
musical instruments; and the invention re-
lates more particularly to a novel construc-
tion of metallic music-sheet which is provided
with suitable perforations and its novel ar-
rangement in a metallic or other shell or
casing.
The principal object of this invention is to
provide a perforated music sheet or roll made
entirely of metal, preferably sheet-brass,
which can be reeled upon and from the wind-
ing-rolls of the apparatus and which sheet
is not subject to the varying conditions of the
weather, especially dampness, which causes
the perforated paper sheets heretofore used
to swell or buckle, whereby the contact-mak-
ing parts of the contact-making apparatus
are thrown out of alinement with the perfo-
rations in the music sheet or roll, whereas in
the metallic music-sheet the perforations are
at all times and under varying conditions of
temperature and weather in direct alinement
with the contact-making parts of the contact
making and breaking apparatus with which
the present invention is to be employed.
A further object of this invention is to
provide, in combination with a music sheet
or roll, a metal or other suitable shell or
casing in which the music sheet or roll is
operatively arranged, such shell or casing
being extremely simple in its construction,
durable in operation, inexpensive in its man-
ufacture, and providing a great protection
to the perforated music sheet or roll.
