FISH-HORN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 28, 1908.

Application filed June 29. 1907. Serial No. 381513.

Horns, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in fish-horns by which they can be manufactured at a lower price, and the invention consists of a fish-horn in which the vibrating tongue'formed at the end of the tubular body is made integral with said body so as to dispense with the soldering on of the tongue and produce a cheaper and more durable fish-horn than those heretofore. in use.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side-elevation of my improved fish-horn, Fig. 2 is a vertical central section through the mouthpiece, showing the sounding-end of the horn in side-elevation, Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on line 3, 3, Fig. 2, Fig. 4 is a transverse section on line 4, 4, Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged plan-view of the blank from which the conically flaring body of the fish-horn is made.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several fig ures.

Referring to the drawings, (it represents the conically flaring body of my improved fishhorn and b the wooden or other mouthpiece used with the same. The tubular body is made of one piece of sheet-metal and sol dered or otherwise connected at the overlapping meeting edges. The sounding-end is out off obliquely to the axis of the tubular body and slightly curved at its edge, as shown in Fig. 3. The tongue (1 is made in one piece with the end of the conically flaring body out from the blank, as shown in Fig. 5, it being then bent over the curved edge of the sounding-end of the conically flaring body a, as shown in Fig. 3. By making the tongue integral with the body a not only a more durable fish-horn is obtained as the soldering of the piece and the consequent loosening of the tongue is prevented, but also the work of soldering on the tongue is dispensed with. The fish-horn can thereby be made at a smaller cost than the fish-horns used heretofore, while by making the tongue integral with the end of the conically flaring body a stronger and more durable connection of the tongue with the body, and thereby a stronger horn, is obtained.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

A fish-horn the body of which is cut off obliquely to its axis at its sounding-end and provided with a tongue made integral with said body.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name inpresence of two subscribing witnesses.

DAVID HEYMAN.
