Definitions

  • the invention was suggested by the necessity for telephoning in or from airplanes, where the noise of the engines interferes seriously with the operation of ordinary telephone transmitters, and by observation of the entire or partial failure of methods and devices intended to overcome this difiiculty.
  • the invention therefore comprises a method and means for substantially eliminating objectionable noises which are present in an airplane or other noisy places, while properly transmitting desired sounds, usually the human voice.
  • the object of the invention is to accomplish the clear and satisfactory telephonic transmission of certain sounds with the substantial elimination of other sounds.
  • the method of accomplishing this object consists in causing the sound-responsive element, such as a diaphragm, to respond to sound vibrations from a source relatively near and substantially opposite one face of the diaphragm, and causing it to be substantially unresponsive to sound vibrations proceeding from sources relatively distant, wherever located, or those from a source relatively nearly in line with the plane of the diaphragm, whethor near or distant from the diaphragm.
  • the sound-responsive element such as a diaphragm
  • the method consists in causing or permitting sound vibrations which it is desired to transmit, and which may therefore be identified as desired sounds, to impress themselves effectively on one side of the diaphragm so that the resulting vibrations of the diaphragm may be converted into electrical vlbrations for transmission, while causing or permitting sound vibrations which are not desired for transmission, and may be identified as undesired sounds, to exert equalizing or neutralizing effects on the two sides of the diaphragm so that the diaphragm is in effect substantially inert or unresponsive to such s0un $till more particularly the method consists in permitting equalizing access to the diaphragm of sounds of the second class from any relatively distant source and any direction, and in some cases positioning the plane of the diaphragm to produce or increase an equalizing effect with respect to sounds proceeding from certain sources, whether near or distant.
  • the apparatus for accomplishing the desired object consists in a diaphragm exposed on both sides to contact by air pressure variations caused by sound vibrations and substantially balanced with respect to undesired sounds, while unbalanced with respect to desired sounds, and also substantially balanced with respect to sounds proceeding from directions approximately in line with its plane, without regard to their classification as desired or undesired sound; and suitable co-operating means for converting the vibrations of the diaphragm into electrical vibrations for transmission.
  • the operative principle of my invention is such, as more particularly explained hereinafter, that when sounds of diflerent characters proceed from a point located at any given distance from a face of the diaphragm, such distance being substantially greater than the distance at which a sound source is to be placed with the purpose of reproduction, the extent to which the diaphragm is unaffected (or in other words, the de ree to which elimination of such sounds is e ected) depends upon the rate of pressure variation in the diiferent sound waves; and factors which determine this rate include pitch, amplitude, and specific Wave form.

  • Fig. 14 is a front elevation of the same
  • Fig. 15 is a vertical section of a modified form of transmitter.
  • .it is these ressure variations, which might be describe as definite pressure impacts (in some cases negative as well as positive), which cause the movement of the responsive medium, such as a tele hone transmitter diaphragm.
  • the wave ont form defined by a circle whose center is the sound source will evidently have a difierentcurvature in comparison with any definite datum at differeiit distances from the source, so that for descriptive purpgses the wave front form may be said to relatively sharply curved near the source and relatively straight or flat at points far removed from the source.
  • a diaphragm d forms substantially the flat side of a closed hemisphere of which the s herical part is the casing 0.
  • this transmitter is placed with relation to a sound source, air pressure variations are impressed upon all parts of its surface and become efiective upon the flexible diaphragm by bending it in and out as shown graphically in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the depression of' the diaphragm (Fig. 1) is caused by positive external air pressure
  • the bulging or outward curve (Fig. 2) is caused by a negative pressure or one below the pressure of the air within the casing.
  • 1 and 2 show the diaphragm arranged in dilferent positions with respect to the parallel lines which represent the approximately straight wave front form of sounds coming from a considerable distance, and whose relative proximity to each other indicates the relative intensity of pressure. It is shown graphically in these figures that the diaphragm responds to the pressure variations regardless whether its plane is parallel to the sound 'wave front or in any other position. Such a diaphragm will respond to the sound of the voice roceeding from a point opposite to it and ro m a distance of only 2 or 3 inches, and 1t will also respond to any sound of suflicient intensity proceeding from any direction and from any distance. There is no selective capacity and any considerable extraneous sounds are transmitted along with the desired sound which is usual y that of the speaking voice.
  • This flattening of the wave front reduces the responsiveness of the diaphragm to the sound vibrations, and conversely produces an equalizing effect upon the two sides of the diaphragm when the ring 0" is of suitable thinness, until at a certain distance which may be only two, three or four feet or a great variety of sounds of moderate intensity, the diaphragm is practically unresponsive to their vibrations.
  • This equal-- izing action due to the flattening of the wave front can best be understood by considering an ideal representation of the cross-sectional form of a certain sound wave, as shown in Fig. 6.
  • the elevation of different points of the curve a above the base line 7; indicate the degree of pressure at that point of the curve.
  • these undesired sounds are the voices of other persons talking in the vicinity, even when such persons are located substantially opposite the diaphragm of the instrument at either front or back, and only two or three feet distant, the sound of their voices is largely or entirely eliminated. Many other sounds from similarly located sources are also eliminated.
  • sounds have certain characteristics, as later explained, which make their elimination es ecially difficult, and when these difiiculties are so great that the phenomenon of flattening of their wave front form in relation to the diaphragm is not suiiicient to produce an equalizing effect upon the diaphragm to eliminate such sounds, complete elimination may be accomplished by turning the instrument so that the plane of the diaphragm is more or less in line with the sound source, as previously explained.
  • a sound wave having a very pronounced peak formation when proceeding from a source opposite to the diaphragm, and even when the source is a considerable distance away from .the diaphragm, say five or six feet, may produce a sudden pressure on the front of the diaphragm before its speed of advancement has carried it to the other side and effected neutralization; and this may happen in spite of the fact that the wave front form in such a case is substantially flat, which would be suificient to cause neutralization in the case of a sound of less intense pressure variation. This ma occur, for instance, when the wave lengt is comparatively short in proportion to the thickness of the ring. This is shown gra hically in Fig.
  • w is the curve indicating variation in pressure due to the sound vibration
  • b is the base line of neutral or atmospheric ressure
  • Z is one-half of a wave length
  • amfp is a point in the pressure curve parallel with the front of the diaphragm.
  • the sound wave is su posed to strike the diaphra in substantially at the center so that in t e selected example the pressure point p is sup osed to be applied to the center of the iaphragm, but for greater convenience in applying reference characters the curve is shown at one side of the diaphragm.
  • the vertically arranged numerical ordinates indicate comparative pressures both positive and negative.
  • the point p designates a pressure point in the curve which has passed the diaphragm.
  • the dimension t indicates the thickness of the ring which is small in relation to the diameter of the diaphra m.
  • the dimension 2 indicates a distance 0 travel of the sound wave equal to twice the thickness of the ring, and this is the horizontal dimension between the front of the diaphragm and the point p of the curve.
  • the point 12 before its effective pressure can be exerted upon the back of the diaphragm must have travelled a distance equal to t in the direction of the arrow and an equal distance back again before it can become effective on the back of the diaphragm.
  • the not effective pressure upon the face of the diaphragm at the moment indicated in the diagram is therefore the difference between the pressure at p and that at p which, by consulting the numerical ordinates, is seen to be 8; that is, a positive sharp pressure impulse of an intensity equal to 8 in a total positive ressure range of 10 is impressed upon the iaphragm.
  • the part of the curve to the rear of the diaphragm may be of a negative pressure value, for example, and in this case, the pressure effect upon the face of the diaphragm will be much greater than the maximum sound value properly attributable to the sound curve in question.
  • the pressure variations impressed upon the two sides of the diaphragm may be thrown entirely out of phase so that an entirely false vibration will be set up in the diaphragm.
  • the ring 9- should be made as thin as is practicable.
  • substantial equalization is effected, according to the principles above explained, even by sounds having sharply-peaked curves described, within ranges of pitch and intensity usually encountered, when the sounds proceed from sources approximately opposite, and sufiiciently distant from the diaphragm so that the wave front form at the diaphragm is substantially flat.
  • a sound vibration of the character represented by the curve w, Fi 5 may be one which it is desired to repro uce, an in that case when the sound proceeds from a source such as the mouth of a speaker held opposite the diaphragm and near it, the sound will evidently be responded to correctly by the diaphragm because of the sharply curved front formation of the sound waves.
  • the same curve may also be representative of an undesired sound proceeding from a greater distance, and from a oint more or less nearly opposite a face 0 the diaphragm.
  • the flattening of the wave front caused "b removing the sound source to a greater istance, tends to cause equalization, and the distance at which equalization will be efiected for a sound of the characteristics described depends to a certain extent upon the sharpness of the sound curve, or in other words, upon the rate of sound pressure variation.
  • equalization is facilitated. as explained in connection with Fig. 5, by making the ring 7' as thin as reasonably possible.
  • the wave curve is of less pronounced form, such as a sinusoidal form shown in Fig. 6, where the wave is long in proportion to the thickness of the ring 7-, it will be evident that as the wave advances upon the diaphragm it will not produce any appreciable response because'the pressures upon both sides of the diaphragm become practically equalized with unappreciable delay.
  • a sound has a capacity to relatively easily efi'ect equalization of a diaphragm arranged according to my invention, and equalization of the diaphragm in respect to such sounds occurs when the diaphragm is removed only a relatively short distance from their source, even when the source is directly opposite a face of the diaphragm.
  • a sound represented by such a curve may be one of the voice sounds desired for transmission, proceeding from a source substantially opposite and near "the diaphragm. In that case equalization is undesirable, and is prevented by the sharply curved wave front formation due to the proximity of the sound source, or otherwise explained by the sound shadow efl'ect exemplified in Fig. 8.
  • the difliculty may be met in that case partially or entirely by angular positioning of the diaphragm.
  • Fig. 9 shows a simple magneto transmitter modified and adapted to embody my invention.
  • the diaphra m D is held in a relatively thin ring R which may of course for convenience in assembling consist of separate parts, namely, a rear member 1 and a front member 2 secured together in any convenient way.
  • Attached to the rear part 1 of the ring is a frame or s ider consisting of two or more arms 3 w ich' carry.
  • D may be entirely ,.unobstructed except or the very slight'marginal overlap of the ring member 2, and the rear face is substantially unobstructed since free access of air over a large area of the rear face is afiorded by the skeleton or open construction of the frame 3.
  • the freedom of access of vibrations to the rear of the diaphragm may be increased when it is considered desirable by makin the magnet-windings 6 relatively short an placing them toward the rear so that the pole-pieces 6 extend considerably from the front of the magnet, windings.
  • the relatively insignificant area of these pole-pieces adjacent to the diaphragm does not obstruct the latter in respect to sound vibrations to any. appreciable extent.
  • this effect may be counterbalanced or neutralized if desired by providing a shield or screen 2 which in Fig. 9 is in effect an inward extension of the outer flange of the ring 2, and this may have a central aperture 2 designed to more or less closely equal the exposed rear area of the diaphragm for balancing effect.
  • the vibratory responses of the diaphragm to the desired sounds are converted into electrical impulses for transmission by magnetic induction in the usual way, and since undesired sounds are not responded to by the diaphragm for the reasons explained, they will not be conve'ted into electrical impulses or transmitte Q

  • the frame 10 supports the variable carbon resistance device, which comprises as usual a cup-like receptacle 16, a back disk 17, a granular filling 18, and a button 19, the reduced central portion of which passes through a mica dia hragm 20.
  • the button 19 is connected to diaphragm D by a stem 21 and suitable securing devices. Binding posts 22 and other electrical connections are provided as usual.
  • a rear casing or housing 25 is provided. This is secured in any convenient way to the ring 9 and may preferably be provided with a lug or car 26 bored for connection to a. suitable standard.
  • the casing 25 is provided with a multiplicity of holes 27 to permit sufliciently free access of air pressure variations to the interior of the casing and so to the back of the diaphragm.
  • the front of the diaphragm might be entirely exposed except for the slight overlap of flange 28 of ring 9, but in an arrangement preferred in some cases, as in Fig. 10, this flange may be continued inward to provide a covering or screen 29 for the front of the diaphragm.
  • Such front covering or screen will be formed to permit the necessary free access of sound Vibrations to the diaphragm, as by being provided with a multiplicity of holes 30.
  • the number and arrangement and total area of the apertures in the front cover and the rear casing when these are employed may be proportioned to each other with sufficient accuracy to permit sufliciently free access of sound vibrations to both sides of the diaphragm to bring about the desired unresponsiveness of the diaphragm to certain sound vibrations, that is. those proceeding from a source relatively distant from the diaphragm or which are in the plane of the diaphragm, while leaving it fully responsive to vibrations from a source relatively near and substantially opposite the face of the diaphragm, such as words spoken to the transmitter in the usual way; this for the reasons previously explained.
  • the rear casing may be omitted and a support for the instrument may be provided at the central member of frame 10 or otherwise, and the front cover or screen 29 may also be omitted when desirable.
  • a carbon button transmitter comprising only the parts described above may in some cases respond to sound'vibrations having access to the rear of the diaphragm sufliciently to cause more or less disturbance. That is, such vibrations of the button itself will transmit sounds additional to those impressed upon the diaphra m or will neutralize the action of the diap ragm to some extent.
  • Fig. 12 shows one arrangement for this purpose in which a cylindrical housing 31 is screwed upon the front end of cup 16 forming a continuation of the carbon resistance supporting device. This housing contains an internal flange 32 provided with a central aperture fitting the stem 21 very closely but yet with suflicient clearance to avoid interfering with the reciprocations of the stem.
  • This flange substantially prevents passage of air. to and from the chamber within it so that air pressure variations are substantially prevented from having access to the button.
  • Other means for excluding air and air pressure variations may also be provided, as for example, a rubber disk 33, cemented or otherwise secured to the front face of housing 31 and secured at its center to the stem 21 by suitable holding devices.

  • the frame also comprises two or a small number of arms 41 connecting the center-piece with the annulus 36. These arms provide very wide and free spaces through which air pressure variations may reach the back of the diaphragmw.
  • the ring 37 may somewhat overlap the front edge of the diaphragm in order to hold it in position, but is usually provided with a large central opening 42, or in some cases may be provided with a center-piece 43 connected to the outer portion of the ring by arms 44, and the center-piece may be provided with perforations 45.
