n In the development .of the electrodynamic type of sound reproducer ofthe class shown Kolster andxSigurd A.1Sollie, I have 'found y v that the efficiency of the soundreproducer maybe substantially `increased kby the provision of afmultiple winding on fthe movable element ofV the electrodynamic sound V,reproducer- By providing independent paths from theoutput systemthrough-each of the f windings on the movableieleln@Tnt I am able y to secure uniform response over a relatively widerange of frequencies for improving lthe" reproduction of sound.

- have found that by dividing the path of the current through the moving coil into 'a `plu-a and; thereby rendery the reproduction of soun 80 uniform overga -widelfrequency range..v lprolwhich housesthe electrodynamic; operating y mechanism which includes the rcentral pole "9 member 2 on which is disposed the electromagnetic winding 8. A plate member 4 is secured to the front of the casing 1 and is provided with a central annular aperture 5 through which the pole member 2 projects. The conical shaped sound reproducing diaphragm is supported by means of a flexible annular web member 6 which is secured to the surface of the conical shaped sound reproducing diaphragm 7 in a position intermediate the apex 8 and peripheral edge 9. The peripheral edge 9 is connected to a flexible web 2S which is supported in an annular `frame structure composed of channel shaped members 24-25 riveted one to the other. The channel shaped members are supported in predetermined relation tothe lelectrodynamic system by means of arms 26. The
web 6 is suitably secured to the ring structure 10 which is carried by the plate 4. A tubular member 11 of insulating material is connected by means of metallic member 12-with the conical shaped sound reproducing diaphragm 7. The tubular member 11 carries a multiplicity of independent windings. For the purpose of illustrating the principle of my invention I have shown two 'such windings disposed one upon the other,
the winding in one layer being designated as voice coil 14, and the winding in the other layer being designated as voice coil 15. The
f windings all operate within a common mag- Yiietic field provided by the electiomagnetic winding 3 vand the lines of force which pass throughv the annular gap formed in aperture 5 between front plate 4 and pole member 2. rIhe pole member 2 is cut away at the front Y thereof, as indicated at 16, to receive the apex V8 of the conical shaped sound reproducing diaphragm 7 in a position free for vibratory motion.
Independent paths Vare provided through the voice coils from the output system of the power amplifier. In Figure 1 I have designated electron tube 17 as constituting the last stage of power amplification in an electric phonograph system or in a radio receiving apparatus. The output circuit of the power amplifier system includes an output transformer designated at 18 having a secondary winding 19 which connects to the common point 2() of the ends of the voice coils 14 and 15. The opposite ends of the Vvoice coils 14 and 15 connect through diEerent branch circuits with tlie opposite side of the secondary winding 19. I have illustrated condenser 21 in series with voice coil 15.
in series with voice coil 14 and condenser 22 These condensers have that capacity necessary to tune the branches to particular ranges of audiofrequencies according to the characteristic curves illustrated in Fig. 3. The frequency response curve of voice'coil 14 drops off at a point where the frequency response curve of voice coil 15 rises by virtue of the differently tuned branch circuits, giving as a result the combined effect of voice coils 14 and 15 or a response curve which is substantially uniform over a wide range of frequencies. While I have illustrated two voice coils in two separate branch circuits, it will be understood that a multiplicity of voice coils may be provided for securing efficient reproduction over a broad frequency range.
Thile I have described my invention in a certain preferred embodiment, I desire that it be understood that modifications may be made and that no limitations upon my invention are intended other than are imposed by the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim asnew and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:
