UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PATRICK SHAUGHNESSY ODONNELL, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.
SOUND-REPRODUCING APPARATUS.
Application filed March 19, 1926, Serial No. 96,009, and in Great Britain September 30, 1925.
This invention relates to, and has for its the diamond 4 and the middle of the armaobject the provision of improvements in, sound reproducing apparatus, of the kind described and claimed in my copending application for Letters Patent of the United States Serial No. 96,008.
The invention consists broadly of a loud speaker, particularly for use in connnection with wireless apparatus, of the kind in which a sound emitting diaphragm is adapted to be vibrated by means of the armature of an elcctromagnet, wherein other diaphragms or membranes are provided for the purpose of rendering the sound more mellow and pure.
One embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings and the same will now be described, it being understood that the particular construction and arrangement illustrated are susceptible of variousmodifications without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
In these drawings Figure 1 isa side elevation of a loud speaker (particularly for use in connection with wireless apparatus) in accordance with the invention, the casing thereof and certain other parts being shown in section.
Figure 2 is an end elevation of the same looking from the left of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a similar end elevation of all those parts to the right of line XX of Figure 1, certain of the parts being shown in chain dotted lines.
Figure 4 is a side elevation of a detail.
Referring to the drawings the loud speaker therein illustrated comprises an electromagnet 1 the armature 2 of which is adapted to vibrate in accordance with the vibrations of the sound to be reproduced. The vibrations of this eleotromagnet are adapted .to be transmitted to a diaphragm 3 of conical shell formation through the medium of a transmission device which comprises two diamonds 4 and 5 which .are in simple contact with one another and which are in rigid relationship respectively with said armature 2 and said diaphragm 3.
Thus the diaphragm 3 is rigidly and co- .axially mounted to a rod 6 extending outwardly from its apex, and this rod carries at its remote extremity the diamond 5. The armature 2 carries a cup 7 which contains the other diamond 4. The rod 6 is reeiprocably mounted in a sleeve 8 carried by a bracket 9 ,so that the axis .of saidrod passes through ture. 2. A spring 6 is provided. for biasing said rod with respect to said sleeve in such a way that the diamond 5 is pressed down upon the diamond 4.
The vibrations of the armature 2 are adapt ed to take place in a sense at right angles to the rod 6 and thus the'diamonds 4 and 5 tend to rub one another in a sense at right angles to the direction of the pressure between them. In practice the irregularity of form of the two diamonds resultsin an engagement between them such that the rod (3 together with the diaphragm 3 is vibrated. Sound waves are therefore emitted from said diaphragm.
The bracket 9 and the clectromagnct 1 are both supported from a common base 10 which consists of a glass disc and is supported in spaced relation from the back 11 of the loud speaker casing by means of four supporting feet 12 spaced around its circumferential periphery. The electromagnet is mounted to this base in the neighbourhood of its centre and the bracket 9 is made in the form of a bridge which straddles said elcctromagnet with its columns mount-ed to said base and its bridging member carrying the aforesaid sleeve 8.
The loudv speaker casing is of cylindrical formation the back 11 thereof thus being disc shape. The front thereof is open and has mounted thcrewithin at spaced intervals around the circumferential wall of said casing a number of tuned gongs 13 each of which represents a definite musi al note. These gongs are of spiral type and are located as shown in radial planes with respect to the cylindrical casing and with their mounting points nearest the open end of the casing. They are mounted to an annular base l-l extending around the inner periphery of the casing as shown. The gongs are partly isolated from one another by means of battle plates 15 also arranged in radial planes. These baffle plates come between the outer halves only of each pair of the gongs (i. e. the halves nearest the open end of the casing) and are formed so that they become narrower as they approach the centre of the casing near to which they terminate. They also are mounted to said. base 15 and at their inner ends carry an annulus 15.
Rigidly and coaxially mounted upon an extension of the sleeve 8 and betweenthe diaphragm 3 and the bracket 9 are a number of, say four, auxiliary diaphragms 16. These to the diaphragm 3.
CPI
the bracket 9.
Between the cup 7 and the armature 2 and in rigid relation with both is a glass disc 17. Extending between the disc shape base 10 and the annular base 14 are four wooden rods 18. These rods are mounted to said base 10 by means or blocks 18* cemented to, and overhanging the circumferential periphery of, said base, and are bolted to the base 14 as shown. 7
In operation the vibrations are transmitted as described by means or the diamond con tact transmission device from the armature 2 Sound waves are thus emitted from said diaphragm and pass out through the open end or the casing past the gongs 13. The purity of the sound thus pro duced is enhanced on account of the said transmission device and also as a result of the gongs 13.
making the vibrations of the diaphragm 3 more nearly simple harmonic vibrations than are the vibrations of the armature 2 but this is not certain. The gongs operate to break down echoes and false vibrations and to enhance the true notes. Each gong responds to its own proper note and tends to swamp false notes. The auxiliary diaphragms 16 and the disc 17 have the effect or" further increasing the mellowness and purity of the tone produced. The scientific explanation of this is not however quite clear. The connection between the base 10 and the base 14 by means of the rods 18 has the effect of increasing the sensitiveness of the gongs. Very slight vibrations are transmitted from said base 10 to said base 14 and thus the gongs themselves are maintained in a slightly tremulous state in which they are more read ily susceptible of sympathetic response to their proper notes than when they are in a state of rest.
Describing now certain constructional dc tails of the device, the clectromagnet 1 consists of a core 1? having energizable pole pieces 1 arranged one each side of the armature 2 and adapted alternately to attract and repel the same. The armature 2 is mounted to a somewhat resilient bridging piece 2 one end of which is rigidly mounted to the base 1 to which the core 1 is mounted and the other end of which is mounted to said base in such a way as to be adjustable with respect thereto in a vertical sense. adapted to be effected by means of an adjusting knob 2 underneath the glass base 10. the adjusting column passing through a hole in said 10. The base 1 is secured to the base 10 by means o a suitable cement.
The cup 7 is made in one unit with the disc The transmission through the contacting diamonds probably has the eitect oi Such adjustment is 17 and with a suitable screw 19 by which said unit is screwed to sai l arm; turc 2. A Washer 20 say or" ebonitc is in erposed between said screw 19 and the armature 2.
The diaphragm 3 and also the auxiliary diaphragms 16 are made or" silk. The silk may be mounted on a light frame-work and coated with a very thin solution of celluloid followed by thin coating of sairit mastic varnish, or it may be self supporting being stiitcned by means of a suitable stiffening solution. In the particular construction illustrated the former method is adopted and the frame members of the diaphragm 3 are shown in Fig. 2 at 8 In this figure the bafiic plates 15 are shown superimposed over the radial frame members 3 This is purely tortuitous and should not cause confusion.
The diaphragm 3 is provided with a boss 3 by which it is screwed onto the end of the rod (3 and said diaphragm is also supported from eriphery by means of strings 3 secured o tne inner periphery of the casing. oi" phragms 16 are formed with bosses whereby hey are spaced apart as shown.
The tour supporting feet 12 are provided with grooves as shown in which the edge of the 10 fits. These grooves are provided The with rubber or like pads12 above and below the edge of said base.
No claim is made in this specification to a loud speaker comprising a diaphragm for producing sound waves and a plurality of tuned gongs in the path whichsaid sound waves are adapted to take and battle plates located between adjacent pairs of said gongs, as such a loud speaker is described and claimed in my copending application for'Letters Patent of the United States for sound amplifying devices for sound reproducing Serial No. 96,010.
What I claim and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is l. Aloud speaker comprising a sound emitting diaphragm having an unclamped edge and a nonresonant'damping diaphragm also having an unclamped edge located behind said sound emitting diaphragm.
2. A loud speaker comprising a sound emit-ting diaphra m havin an unclamped g and pluralityof nonresonant damping diaphragms also having unclamped edges 10- eated behind said sound emitting diaphragm.
3. A loud speaker comprising a sound emitting diaphragm having an unclamped edge and a plurality of nonresonant damping diaphragms, also having unclamped edges located coaxially with, and behind, said sound emitting diaphragm.
4. A loud speaker comprising a sound emitting diaphragm having an unclamped edge and a plurality of nonresonant damping diaphragms of smaller diameter than said sound emitting diaphragm, also having unclamped edges, located behind said sound emitting diaphragm.
5. A loud speaker comprising a sound emitting diaphragm, a rod supporting said sound emitting diaphragm and adapted to transmit vibrations thereto, a support for reciprocably supporting said rod and a plurality of nonresonant damping diaphragms mounted on said support.
6. A loud speaker comprising a sound emitting diaphragm having an unolamped edge and a plurality of nonresonant damping diaphragms of smaller diameter than said sound emitting diaphragm, also having unclamped edges, located behind said sound eiui'tlin diaphragm, said nonresonant damping diaphragms being of progressively varying diameters, the largest being closest to said sound emitting diaphragm.
In Witness whereof I aflix my signature.
