VALANCE FOR VIOLIN-CASES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 467,724, dated January 26, 1892.
Application filed October 17, 1891.
To r//Z'Z whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, HUGO KLEINEICK, a citi- Essex county, New Jersey, have invented certain newanduseful Improvementsin Valances for Violin-Cases, fully described and represented in the following specification and the accompanyingdrawings, forminga part of the same.
The object of this invention is to furnish an improved valance or protector for the joint between the body and lid of a violin-case; and the invention consists in a particular construction and arrangement for the valance-strip and its covering.
The invention will be understood by reference to the annexed drawings, in which Figure l shows the body of the case in elevation with the lid opened. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the case on line :t in Fig. l with the lid closed, and Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating the process of applying the valance and its covering.
A is the body of the case, and B the lid, hinged together at h in any convenient manner.
d indicates the Valance upon the lid in Fig. 1, adapted to fit over the joint when the lid is closed upon the body A.
The body and lid have a curved outline, as shown upon the lid in Fig. l, and are preferably made at first all in one piece and then sawed apart upon the line of their joint j in Fig. 2. Bythis method of construction the surfaces are flush upon the inside and outside ofthe joint, and if acovering-strip of uniform thickness be attached to the lid it would t equally close against the lid and body of the case. The valance has been thus applied heretotore, and a covering of leather or similar material then secured over the outside of the lid and folded over the outer and inner edges of the valance, thus thickening the same upon the inner side and preventing it from closing upon the body of the case unless the edge of the body be beveled. Such bevel weakens and defaces the edge of the body, and the principal object of the present invention is to avoid such beveling and to provide a valance properly covered, which will tit snugly upon the outside of the body without beveling the Serial No. l109,007. (No model.)
same. These objects are effected, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, by first finishing the outside of the case with its proper coveringc of leather or other suitable material, then preparing a piece cl of leather or other covering materia-l of suitable length and width to envelop the valance-strip e, and secure it within the edge of the lid. One edge of this strip is then glued to the outside of the lid in close proximity to its edge, as shown in Fig. 3, and the upper edge of the strip c is lapped upon the same and secured to the lid by nails, screws, or rivets c. The inner side of the covering (l is then moistened with glue or paste, and it is then wrapped over the heads of the nails or fastenings e and folded over the lower edge of the strip c and glued securely thereto and to the edge of the lid and iinally upon the inner side of the Same,-as shown in Fig. 2.
In Figs. 2 and 3 the thickness of the valance and its covering is exaggerated to clearly illustrate the construction; but the dimensions of such parts may obviously be varied as desired.
By first gluing the edge of the covering d between the valance-strip c and the lid the strip is obviously set out from the lid a suitable dist-ance to admit the covering d between the strip and the body A, and the valance thus fits snugly upon the edge of the body without any necessity to bevel or deface the same. By irst gluing the edge ot' the coveringd to the outer side of the lid the joint between the valance and lid is made entirely water-tight, so that when the lid is closed rain or moisture is prevented from penetrating within the joint, and as the.'covering d is wholly outside of the nails or fastenings for the valance the appearance of the latter is much improved and the fastenings are protected from accidental derangement 4or loosening by the penetration of moisture.
It will thus be seen that my method of construction secures a number of very desirable results: iirst, a water-tight joint between the valance and the lid; second, the covering of the fastening by which the valance-strip is secured to the lid, and, thirdly, a close contact of the valance with the body of the case without beveling or trimming the latter in any manner. v
I do not claim the mere attachment of a IOO valance to the outside of the lid after the lid 1s provided with its oWn covering, as in such case the heads of the fastenngs would be eX- posed.
VVhat is new in my construction is the above-described method of connecting the valance-strip and its covering with the lid, by which the strip eis set out from the lid a distance equal to the thickness of the covering d, so that the said covering may serve to conceal the heads of the fastenings and may be folded over the edge of the strip and finally secured upon the edge and inner side of the 11d Without causing any interference of the Valance-covering With the body of the case so as to require the beveling of the latter.
My invention produces a neater finish upon the lid and upon the body of the case than the construction heretofore employed,` While it is more water-tight than aloose valance secured upon the lid by screws or rivets.
To produce the best finish upon the inner side of the lid,the covering c', which is glued upon the wood or other material, is preferably cutY short sufficient to meet the edge of the covering d Where it is secured upon the inner side of the lid. The covering c and d thus form en even surface Where they meet, and the covering of the valance (3o-operates with the inner covering of the lid to form a smooth finish inside the same.
Having thus set forth the nature of my invention, what I claim herein is- In a violin-case, the combination, with the body A and lid B, made with their outer sides Hush, of the valance-strip e, having the covering d, with its edge inserted between the strip and the lid and secured to the latter, the festenings e', inserted through the valance and edge of the covering into thelid, and the covering Wrapped over such fastenings and folded over the edge of the strip @and secured upon the edge and inner side of the lid, substantially as herein set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in `the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
HUGO KLEINEICK.
