Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements electrically-operated vibratory devices and more particularly to sound transmitting, reproducing or recording devices of the type 5 in which one member isvcaused to vibrate relatively to another member under the influence of electrically generated forces acting between adjacent surfaces on the respective members or in which electrical oscillations are generated by the relative vibration of two members.
  • the surface on which the reed is anchored has been parallel with the upper surfaces of the magnet pole tips and suitable adjusting means has been provided for moving said pole tips vertically, so that the normal air gap between the armature portion of the reed and the pole tips can be adjusted to the desired height.
  • the magnetic pull will only be uniformly distributed over the surface of the armature when the latter is parallel to the pole surfaces. If the tip of the armature is closer to the pole surface than the heel (or the end of the armature portion of the reed nearer the anchorage) the magnetic lines of force will tend to concentrate toward the tip and, conse-.
  • the point of action of the resultant magnetic force will be closer to the tip than to the heel of the armature.
  • a simple reed obeys Hooks law over the small displacements met with in sound reproduction, that is to say, there is a linear relation between the displacement of a point on the reed and the mechanical force applied at'that point.
  • the magnetic pull changes too rapidly close to the magnet, compared with the changes which take place further from the poles, to be balanced by a simple spring and, in addition to this, whenthe tlp of the armature is allowed to approach closer to the poles than the heel, the arm or radius about which the magnetic pull acts also increases as the armature approaches the poles. Since the displacement of the armature is dependent, not upon the magnetic pull, but on the moment of this pull, the relation between the current passed around the coils, surrounding the pole tips and the resulting displacement will be far from linear.
  • One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an electro-magnetic vibratory device of simple form, in which substantially maximum sensitivity is obtained while the relation between applied current.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an electro-magnetic vibratory device which has the desired qualities of sensitivity and linearity, and in which the mechanical restoring force applied to the armature is in the form of simple spring, that is to say, a construction which will obey Hooks law.
  • Figure 1 is a plan of an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section substantially on the line 22 of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is an elevation of the parts shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • Figure 4 is a transverse vertical section similar to Figure 2, but showing the relation of the parts when the magnetic force is at zero and when the magnet poles are retracted from the position shown in Fig. 2 into a working position.
  • Figure 5 is a diagrammatic View.
  • Figures 6 and 7 are, respectively, a plan and vertical cross section (similar to Figures 1 and 2) of a different embodiment.
  • a designates a pillar rising from a base I) and having a flat upper surface 0 to which is secured, as by screws (Z, a reed n.
  • the reed n projects forward from its support a over the pole pieces 9 of a U-shaped permanent magnet f.
  • the pole pieces 9 are of lam inated form and separated by an air gap 70, which, as shown in Figure 3, is beneath the reed a.
  • Each pole g is surrounded by an electric coil h.
  • portion of the vibratory member or reed n which lies over and cooperates with the magnet pole or poles 9 will be referred to as the armature, and the end of such armature nearest the support a will be designated the heel thereof, while the other, or free end is termed the toe or tip.
  • the magnet f is supported between arms 2' that extend rearward and support pivot screws j having suitable bearin s in lugs e projecting forward from the reed supporting pillar a.
  • the magnet is thus pivotally supported to rock about the axis of the bearings of the screws on the base or supporting member and an adjusting screw Z is provided for moving the magnet bodily about such axis.
  • a rod or stem 00 To the armature portion of the reed n is secured a rod or stem 00, the other end of which is connected to a diaphragm, not shown, as is customary.
  • the parts are so related that normally, or when the magnet is deenergized, the air gap between the armature and pole pieces 9 will be of angular form. That is, the cooperating surfaces of the armature and pole pieces will be out of parallelism, being spaced further adjacent the tip or toe of the armature than adjacent the heel thereof.
  • this axis 0 is substantially coincident with the axis about which the magnet is adjustable, as before described, and located between the rear edges of the pole pieces 9 and the reed support 0.
  • the length of he surface of the pole pieces g, which cooperate with the armature portion of the reed n measured in a direction radial to the axis is preferably at least as as the distance between the heel of the armature (the right hand edge of the pole pieces 9 in Figures 2 and 4) and the axis 0 so that the change in distribution of magnetic force in the air gap which is produced by change in the relative inclination and distance between the cooperating surfaces of the magnet poles and the armature may be effective in producing a substantially linear relation between applied current and resulting displacement of the armature.
  • the vibrating member projects at right angles from a cross bar, which is preferably of rectangular cross section.
  • the cross bar When the armature is in position in the magnetic field the cross bar is subjected to torsion and this provides the requisite restoring force.
  • the axis of rotation of the armature is on a line passing through the centre of the cross bar and the magnets are pivoted for adjustment purposes about an axis situated substantially at the same distance from the nearer edge of their pole surfaces as the axis of rotation of the armature.
  • the armature or vibrating member t which is connected with the diaphragm actuating rod :0, projects at substantially right angles from a cross bar u, which is enlarged at its ends and secured by suitable screws o to pillars on the supporting frame.
