Abstract

603,354. Sound emitting and receiving devices. TIBBETTS, G. C. Oct. 18, 1945, No. 27372. [Class 40 (iv)] [Also in Group XL (c)] A piezo-electric device comprises a slab which expands in one flatwise direction when subjected to electrostatic forces, a flexible member extending along one side of the device and means interconnecting the slab and member at the periphery of the slab, the member being arched in said direction so that it tends to straighten when the slab expands, The crystal element 1 comprises a plate of Rochelle salt cut with its major plane at right angles to the electric axis and the major edges parallel to the optic and mechanical axes. The element 1 thus expands and contracts along its diagonals. The element is provided on its major faces with electrode foils and lead extensions 3 and is then cemented at the periphery to two diaphragms 4 arranged on on each surface. The diaphragms are made of material having a good modulus of elasticity and a coefficient of expansion the same as Rochelle salt, such as synthetic resin with or without metal powder amber or special metallic alloy. Each diaphragm is thickened peripherally at the one pair of opposite corners 6 so that one diagonal of the diaphragm is arched away from the crystal plate and the other diagonal is arched towards the crystal, as shown in the two diagonal sections, Figs. 5 and 6. Since due to piezo-electric effect, one diagonal of the crystal expands when the other diagonal contracts, this form of diaphragm gives the desired mechanical coupling to the crystal. In the form shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the diaphragms are intended to move simultaneously towards or away from the crystal. In Fig. 9, the diaphragms 4 move simultaneously in the same direction, being connected to a rod. 7 passing through the crystal. Thus one of the diaphragms is turned through 90 degrees relative to the other so that they both operate on the crystal in the same sense. The rod 7 may be connected to a phonograph stylus, a microphone diaphragm or a sound reproducing diaphragm. The device is mounted on rubber feet 10. Fig. 11 shows a unit 1, 4 as in Fig. 5 mounted between two microphone diaphragms 9 and actuated by rods 11. Alternatively, the lower diaphragm 9 may be omitted in which case the unit is mounted between an upper diaphragm and the bottom of a cup-shaped casing, Figs. 12 and 13 (not shown). This modification may be used as a hearing aid. Fig. 17 shows two identical units 34 as in Fig. 5 turned through 90 degrees with respect to each other about the vertical axis, and supported from posts 32 by gauze rings 36. The units are connected so that the output voltages produced by sound waves are additive. Then voltages due to mechanical shocks tend to cancel out, The units may have a circular periphery, Figs. 14, 15 (not shown), and may be waterproofed by coating with cellulose nitrate and then with polystyrene.
