OSCILLATION DETECTOR. y
Applcation filed April 4,
T0 @ZZ whom t may concern.:
Be it known that I, ALBERT 7VV. BowMAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of IVinthi-op, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented 'a new and useful Improvement in Oscillation Detectors, of which the following is a specifica tion.
My invention relates to oscillation detectors ofI the crystal type, and its object is to provide a detector which, although enclosed within a cartridge or envelope, may be readily adjustable, both as to the point of contact between the usual small-aread member and the crystal, and as to the pressure of such contact.
Vith this object in view my invention embodies a member of insulation material provided with a bore, one end of which is co-unterbored to receive the crystal, a` metallic plug preferably threaded to the counterbored end of said member to maintain the crystal in position and to afford means for electrically connecting it to one terminal of the detector, a rod of conducting material to the inner end of which the small-aread contact is connected, resilient means for maintaining the small-aread member in contact with the crystal, means for varying the pressure by said resilient means, and means for rotating said rod to vary the point of contact between the small-aread member and the crystal.
One embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is an elevation of a detector embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section;
F ig. 3 is a central longitudinal section of the envelope and terminal caps, the remaining parts being shown in elevation; and
Fig. 4 is an end view showing the detector held in a spring clip which is connected to one terminal of the receiving circuit.
In the particular drawings selected for more Afully disclosing my invention, 10 represents a member of insulation material herein shown as a rod provided with a central longitudinal bore 11, both ends of which arecounterbored and threaded. Located in 1923. Serial No. 629,802.
one of the counterbored ends of the member 10 is a crystal 12 held in position by the plug 13 which has threaded engagement with the counterbore and is locked in position by the nut 14.
A rod 15 oli' conducting material is arranged for longitudinal and rotary movement in the bore of the member 10, one end of a spiral of line wire 16 being secured to the inner end of said rod, andthe other end 17 being arranged eccentric to the axis of the spiral and in contact with the crystal near the outer` edge of the exposed surface thereof. The outer end of the rod is provided with a head 18 whereby it may be rotated to change. the point of contact of the small-aread contact member 17y with the crystal.
Preferably the spiral 16 is of such diameter as to closely fit the bore 11 of the crystal-supporting member.
While various ways may be devised for supporting the rod 15, and for maintaining the fine wire in contact with the crystal under adjustable pressure, I prefer to employ a metallic stud 19 arranged co-aXially with the member l0, said stud having a bore through which the rod passes and being connected to the member by a nipple 2O having` threaded engagement with said member and said stud.
A nut 21 ,threaded to said nipple andv bearing against the member 10 may be enr ployed to lock these two elements together.
A spiral spring 22 is interposed between the shoulder 23 on said rod and the end. ol the counterbored portion of the bore of the Astud 19, whereby the end of the fine wire 17 terial,- and in such case said envelope is closed at one end by the metallic cap 26 connected electrically and 'mechanically by the screw 27 to the plug 13, thereby constituting one terminal of the detector.
The other end ofthe envelope is closed by a similar cap 29 shown in the prese-nt instance as threaded to the projecting end of the stud and held in position by the lock nut 30.
It has been found that a detector constructed as above described maintains its sensitiveness for a relatively long period of time, and as will be understood, when the crystal inally loses its sensitiveness, it may readily be removed by simply taking oli the cap 26 and unscrewing the nut 14 and plug 13, and a new crystal substituted therefor.
It Will be obvious that a very slight movement ol the nut 2a will suffice to vary the pressure of the Contact between. the point and crystal, and that by slightly turning the head when the sensitiveness oi: the detector disappears another point close by the insensitive point Will be lLt'ound so that practically the entire outer edge of thel eX- posed crystalline surface may be used before the crystal need be discarded.
lt ivill be apparent also that by means of my invention a very small piece of crystal only need be used.
The detector may conveniently be connected to, the receiving circuit by means of spring clips 31 which receive the metallic caps 26,. 29..
Having thus described an illustrative embodiment of my invention Without however limiting the same therete, what claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. An oscillation detector comprising a member of insulation material, said member having a central longitudinal bore counterbored'at one end, a crystal arranged in the counterbored end of said member, a plug of conducting material in threaded engagement With the counterbored end of said member and clamping said crystal against the. bottom of the counterb-ore, rod of conducting material longitudinally and rotarily movable in the opposite end of said nre-mber, a spiral of line Wire having one. end secured to the inner end of said rod .and its other end arranged eccentric to. the axis of said spiral and in contact With said crystal near the outer edge of its exposed surface, said spiral closely fitting the central longitudinal bore in said member, and a head on the outer end of said rod whereby said rod may be. rotated to change the point or" contact of said Wire with said crystal.
