Abstract

568,128. Stethoscopes. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. April 1, 1943, No. 5239. Convention date, April 1, 1942. [Class 81 (ii)] A stethoscope has a body-contacting member 1 having an acoustic impedance substantially equal to that of the area of the body being examined, ear-pieces 21 having an impedance different from that of the member 1 and connecting tubes 15, 17, 19 having a passageway 23, 25, 27 of gradually-varying cross-section and with the acoustic impedances of its ends matching the impedances of the member 1 and ear-pieces 21 respectively. The member 1 comprises a supporting plate 2 having a hollowstem 3 fitted on to the flexible tubing 15 and with a bore 5 communicating with the hollow stem. A backing-member 7, e.g. of rubber, is secured to the front face of the plate with an opening 9 in communication with the bore 5 and a number of pyramidal projections 11 extending forwards from its front face while a diaphragm, e.g. of thin sheet rubber, is secured over the front face of the member 7. The tubing 15 is also connected to a Y connector 17 carrying a pair of ear tubes 19 terminating in ear-pieces 21.
