CORPORATION OF NEW YORK v TELEPHONE RECEIVER Application filed November 24, 1925. Serial No. 71,251.
This invention relates totelephone receivers and consists in a novel construct1on and mounting of the rec'elver diaphragm.
As is well known in the art, the diaphragm of the ordinary telephone receiver is a thin iron disc clamped tightly between the brass receiver case and the hard rubber cap and lying 0 posite the pole pieces of the magnetic unit. ith this construction and arrangement of the diaphragm, there are certain undesirable eifects of temperature changes and also the likelihood of acoustic shock. F urthermore, there are undesirable resonance effects, due to the sharply defined natural pcriod of vibration of the diaphragm.
Applicants invention has as its principal objects the elimination of the effects of 'temperature changes, the elimination, or at least the minimization, of the resonance effects, and the elimination of acoustic shock. In addition to the advantages found inthe attainment of these objects, the improved receiver has other advantages which will be disclosed and discussed below. v In order to attain the objects named above applicants provide a floating diaphragm of novel construction and design.
- This diaphragm structure and the arrangement of its mounting will be more clearly understood when the following detailed description is read with reference to the acc' mpanying drawing. Figure 1 of the drawing shows in cross-section the referred form of applicants receiver, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged 5- cross-sectional View of the diaphragm and the mounting therefor. It is to be understood that the form and proportions of the diaphragm and the spacing are greatly exaggerated, for purpose of clear descri tion. Like numerals of reference in the two gures of the drawing designate corresponding parts ofthe device. 7
With reference to the details of the drawing, the receiver case 1, the receiver cap 2, and the electromagnets Sand 4, with their pole ieces 5 and 6, respectively, are parts found in the ordinary receiver. v
The diaphragm structure comprises two members, the diaphragm proper 7 and the magnetic diaphragm or armature 8. The
The member 8 must be constructed of a. material which has the characteristics of higher initial permeability than iron and a lower value of magnetization at saturation. Permalloy is the most desirable material known to the applicants, and a suitable variety of permalloy is a composition of nickel and iron, in which the nickel component predominates. In certain cases it may be desirable, for reasons other than those relating directly to this invention, that ingredients other than nickel and iron be added to the composition. The
plified description and discussion of permalloy and its production, reference may be had to the disclosure found in the United States the following ad- I A 1. The diaphra structure, bein of very li htwei htanda ihg air-damped virtue o the p' es of washers between WhlQh' it is mounted, will act, not as a vibrating diaphragm, but as a plunger, and will have a.
very slight or no natural period. The greatly reduced mass of moving parts produces an 7 improved match of acoustic impedance becase, changes of temperature do not distort the diaphragm and alter: the separation between t at structure and the pole' pieces of the magnetic device, but, on the contrary,
- receiver having a there is a practically constant separation overuently a wide range of temperature. 00 a much smaller initial se aration may vided, with the result 0 greater eflicieucy.
3. The use of the small magnetic diaphragm with a sharp maggetic saturation point, combined with and sudden increase in volume, owever,
flux will. cut the duralumin diap seteddy' currents, which will eavily dam t e moving system and thus reduce the resu tant displacement to a point at which it will not be 0 jectionable.
vIt is thus seen that applicants provide a ter motor efliciency than is the case wit the ordinary receiver, since a much smaller separation can be maintained betweenthe pole pieces and the dia-' phragm structure without danger of freezing. Again, the improved receiver will be more leasant'to use than theordinary receiver ause of. the reduction of the resonance efiects and the elimination of acoustic shock. Furthermore, applicants" receiver can be ad- -vantageously' used on a hand set, since the response is not so marked as it is in the ordinary receiver, and consequently of howlin is materially reduced.
While t e invention has been disclosed in one s ecific embodiment which is deemed desirab c, it is to be understood that it is capable vmember fixedly mounted being ed to a diaphragm of low' specific resistance, as disclosed, will eliminate, reduce, acoustic shock."
