Description

June 17, 1930. P. A. ROBBINS 1,754,120
SOUND REPRODUCING MECHANISM Filed May 20, 1929 7%]. E LWE 'INVEN'TDRQ Patented June 1,7, 1930 UNITE STATES- PATENT OFFICE PERCY A. ROBBINS, OF HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS souma nnrnonucme MECHANISM A1ip1icat ion filed May 20,
I attain my object by utilizing for thesound trace a coating of bismuthwhich may be applied in any convenient manner, as, for example, in t e form. of a self-drying paste or suspension Which;will ;produce an even coating when dry. The bismuth is hightly diamagnetic and the sound record so produced will when drawn through a magnetic field, so influence the field as to produce electro-magnetic disturbances which may be utilized'to reproduce as sound the "ariati'ons of the sound trace on the record. A record such as described may be used in connection with many different forms of electro-magnetic mechanism. I describe for that purpose two forms as shown in the accompanyi'ng drawings in which I Fig. 1 is a cross section, partly in elevation, of one form of the apparatus;-
Fig. 2 a side elvation of a' modified form of the apparatus; and 1 i Fig. 3 a plan viewof a flexible strip with a soundtrace formed thereon in accordance .with my invention, 85- 1 is the sound record which be formed of celluloid and which will, when .theapparatus is used in reproducing "sound in connection with moving pictures, bear the usual series of pictures thereon. 2 isthe sound trace. formed on the strip by'the apphcatlon of a coating of bismuth thereto,
will usually 1929. Serial No. 364,548.
sound trace passes through the magnetic field its varying width and position cause fluctuationsand disturbances in the flux flow and these variations in the field induce undulating currents of electricity in the coil.
In Fig. 2 a similar arrangement of the strip and electro-magnet is shown, but for the coil 4 there is substituted an armature 5 suspended from a stationary support .6"
in a state of stable equilibrium; This armature carries a mirror 7. The variations .in v
the positions of the lines of 'force in the magnetic field will necessarilyvibrate the armature and thus cause a beam of light from a source 8 to be directed towards. a
light-sensitive cell 9 included in an electric circuit. Variations of the illumination of the l-ight-s'ensitive'celldue to the vibrations of the mirror will thus'cause an undulatory current to flow in the circuit of the light sensitive cell, which current may be suitably amplified and converted into sound waves.
The sound trace 2 may have any form known to the art.
What I claim is:
1. A sound record formedas a fleicible" strip having a sound trace formed thereon of a highly diamagnetic material.
2. A sound record formed as afiexiblc strip having a sound trace formed thereon of bismuth.
. 3. A sound record having a sound trace formed thereon of a material highly diaina netic relative to the body of therecord.

as hereinbefore referred to. Beneath the 7 sound record strip is located an electro-magy '45 ing one side located close to the strip 1 so as to lie within the magnetic field produced net 3. Above the film -'I show a coiht havby the magnet 3. The turns of the coil may be crossways of the strip as shown or they e diamagne'tic
