Serial No. 447,390.
(GRANTED UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1883, AS AMENDED APRIL 20, 1928; 370 O. G. 757) The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes, without the payment to me of any royalty thereon.
This invention relates to sound reproducers but more particularly to diaphragms for radio loud speakers and the like.
The invention has for its object to improve the tonal qualities of the reproduced sound,
first by improving the shape and arrangement of the diaphragm, and secondly, by the use of a diaphragm material such as celluloid.
In diaphragms of the general type to which this invention relates, in which the diaphragm material is flexed in a roll or rolls into one or more substantially semi-circular forms, the rear portions of the diaphragm form partial- 1y enclosed recesses which have the tendency to create an objectionable resonance.
It is one of the purposes of this invention to correct such condition by flexing the diaphragm material in substantially quarter circle formations, so that the planes of the outer edges of the diaphragm are substantially at right angles to the planes of the central meeting edges of the diaphragm.
I have found that such a form of diaphragm lends itself more perfectly to cabinet installation than the semi-circular form, in that it permits the outer edges of the diaphragm to lie in the same plane with and directly behind and against the front of the cabinet, which front then forms an. eflicient baffle for the side edges of the diaphragm.
I have also found that such a form of diaphragm lends itself to be effectively baffled at its top and bottom edges, as will hereinafter more fully appear.
I am aware that celluloid has been used for small flat telephone receiver and phonograph reproducers or the like, but I lay no claim to flat or conical shaped diaphragms, or to any diaphragms whatsoever, in which the celluloid is not flexed in roll formation.
I have found that celluloid when used in such roll formation presents a maximum amount of elasticity at the central meeting edges, and that by reason of such maximum elasticity, the central meeting edges of the diaphragm follow the pulsations of the actuating unit or units and respond to such pulsations more perfectly than does any other material with which I am familiar.
I have also found that while such maximum amount of elasticity is present in such flexed celluloid diaphragm formation, this material by reason of its dense and homogeneous nature appears to resist the tendency to ripple or take on parasitic vibrations.
In consequence of all of these characteristics. the efficiency of such a diaphragm is high. There is an absence of objectionable or unnatural resonance, while the tonal quality of the reproduced sound is pure and natural.
Referring to the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of the diaphragm in top plan.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation illustrating the diaphragm in a cabinet installation.
Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 33 of Fig. 2, and
Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 44l of Fig. 2.
Like numerals of reference indicate the same parts throughout the several figures, in which :-l indicates the diaphragm, and 2 indicates a cabinet of any design, the same having a front 3, and sides 4. The front 3 has an opening 5, behind which the diaphragm 1 is mounted.
The diaphragm 1 is preferably constructed of two sheets of celluloid or material having like characteristics, though not necessarily limited thereto, having their central meeting edges 6 spaced apart by a strip 7 of sound damping material such as felt. This strip 7 separates the adjacent edges of the two celluloid sheets so that they do not touch each other and vibrate independently of each other.
In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the length of the diaphragm is in 6X- cess of the width, and the two meeting edges 6 are preferably of the same or substantially any suitable manner to the meeting edges 6 of the diaphragm 1.
Each sheet of the diaphragm is flexed into substantially a quarter circle as shown in Fig. 1, and the outer edges are inserted under the clamping strips 9 which are tightly screwed down upon the edges of the diaphragm.
Before placing the diaphragm in this position, and before flexing the sheets, I apply to the top and bottom edges of the diaphragm a strip of soft dense but pliable material 9' such as chamois skin, so that this material projects slightly beyond the top and bottom edges of the diaphragm. The diaphragm with these applied strips thereon is then flexed and clamped in place as just described. The extending portions of the chamois skin are then laid fiat against the adjacent horizontal partitions l0 and are secured in such position by pieces 11 of thin stiff material by suitable fastenings 12. These strips of soft pliable material which are applied, as by cement, to the top and bottom edges of the diaphragm and are also fastened flat against the adjacent horizontal partitions 10 of the cabinet provide a substantially air-tight but flexible connection between the diaphragm and the adjacent horizontal partitions 10 and effectively prevent the vibratory waves from passing from the front of the diaphragm t0 the rear of the diaphragm to create aninterference harmful to the audibility of the low frequency vibrations, and thus cause the cabinet to act as a bafiie. WVhile these soft, dense and pliable strips function in'that manner, they at the same time do not restrain the free and elastic movement of the diaphragm under the influence of the actuating unit or units.
Having thus described one embodiment of the invention, I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the specific construction shown and described, but consider myself clearly entitled to all such changes and modifications as fall within the limit and scope of the appended claims:
