This invention relates to phonograph translating devices having a torsional drive rod. 'Ihe invention is applicable to either a recorder or reproducer and certain features of the invention are of general application to a torsion rod drive. An important feature however. concerns itself with the use of a relatively still translating means per se in connection with a torsion drive rod.
A torsion drive rod for lateral record grooves utilizes a needle or stylus extending generally transversely-to the rod axis. In such a construction, it is desirable from a theoretical angle to endow the drive rod with only one degree of movement; i. e. torsional about its longitudinal axis. Longitudinal and lateral rod movement are ordinarily to be avoided.
As is well known, the width of lateral cut grooves is constantly varying. Where the groove width decreases, a vertical component of 'force is created tending to raise the needle, assuming the needle is above a 'horizontal record. This is known as the pinch ellect and should be considered as a substantial factor. In practice therefore, it is highly desirable to provide for some transverse rod travel in a direction perpendicular to the record under normal operating conditions.
It follows that there should be ,a controlled elasticity for needle movements tending to vibrate the drive rod perpendicularly to vvthe record. Sincethe rotational elasticity of the drive rod is highly important in regard to characteristic control, it is clear that these two elasticities should preferably be independent. This has not heretofore been true of prior devices. In general the mechanical construction interlinked these two elasticities so that independent control of each was impossible. As a rule, the final characteristics were a compromise between conicting tendencres. l
In a torsion drive device, there must be some physical means for connecting the drive rod with the translator per se; i. e. with the element where energy conversion takes place. If a translator has a greater stiffness than is desirable to project to the needle point, a coupling must be used so that the needle may be deflected more easily.
As is well known, the moment of inertia of a rotary part is a function of the square of the radius. By keeping down the radius to a minimum value the moment of inertia is' reduced. However, mechanical coupling details require relatively largerfand smaller parts, particularly if manual adjustments are to be provided. In
his application March 73 in the translator portion of the system: Thus advantagevof reducedvibration amplitude in the translator is taken to keep the inertia of the entire `device at a minimum value. Between the two, a flexible coupling may be provided which functions to change large vibrations of a flexible element to smaller vibrations of a stiffer element.
Referring now tothe drawing:
Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a translating device, with the top casing member removed;
Fig. 2 is a section on 2--2 of Fig. 1 but with the top casing member in place;
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a translating dev1ce;
Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of the torsion rod bearing shown in Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of amodified torsion rod bearing;
Fig. 6 is a sectional elevation of a modied translator and clamp combined; and
Fig. 'I is a section on 1 1 of Fig. 6.
The translating device as a whole includes a pair of complementary case members I0 and II. Both members are generally similar and may be of stamped aluminum, sheet iron, die cast or may even be of a suitable plastic material. Both case members are generally dished to provide a comparatively large compartment I2 formed by wall portions I3 and I 4. Rear edges I5 and I6 of the case may be inturned and tted against an insulating terminal block I1.
The front portion of the case is shaped to provide a pair of journals I8 and I9, the metal being pushed inwardly to form the journals. The free edges 20 and 2| of the two casing shells meet along the case sides' and front. The two shells may be maintained tightly in position by bolts passing through apertures 22, 23 and 24. l Journal I8 and preferably also journal I9 are not circular, as might be expected buthave an elongated shape with the long dimension being perpendicular to the general casing plane. As seen in Figs. 3 and 4, the vertical dimension is somewhat longer than the horizontal one. The difference need not be great and in practiceneed only amount to about a hundredth of an inch or such case, I dispose the smaller parts in the drive so. The drawing obviously shows the elongation exaggerated.
Disposed within the forepart of the casing is a torsion drive rod 26 having a generally circular section and a male coupling element as a ilat tail piece 21. Drive rod 26 may have an axial threaded channel 28 into which a thumb screw 29 may be disposed. A generally transverse needle receiving of the rod mounting rod and into this may be disposed a needle 3|. This needle may be either a conventional reproducing needle or a jewel or may be a. cutting stylus for recording. 'I'he needle is clamped by screw 29 and preferably extendsI forward of the device. as shown in Fig. 2. A suitable aperture 32 in casingvmember.` is provided ior clearing the needle. A tubular lguard 33 is carried by casing member and extends around needle. 3| for a distance so that only the tip` of the needle clears.
' slot 3|) is provided at an intermediate part of .the

bearing for axially directed forces. Theends -of the sleeves are thus iirmlyretained against long'itudinal force. A somewhat similar thrust bear-y ing action may be obtained by sleeve 36 on reduced portion 34. f
Both sleeves 36 and 31 are just thick enough V -Thus the `sleeve material stretches out on both ends' of the' bearing portion and effectively forms athrust or both bearing jounals may be suificient to provide open regions 38 and 39 ,above and belo'w the sleeves. It is understood.that-.substantially the same result may be obtained by varying the sleeve thickness and having round bearings or by having uniform sleeves in round journals andflattening the drive rod at the top and bottom as shown in Fig. 5 for example. The thickest part vof the variable sleeve would be at the horizontal axis and this would be most compressed.
Since the compression of the sleeves 36 land 3 1 controls the torsional flexibility of the 'drive rod, it is clear that this characteristic is independent of the vertical elasticity of the drive rodv mounting. vThe angular extent and depth of free bearing regions ,36 and 39 will determine the elasticity to vertical transverse forces. Hence the elastic properties of the drive rod mounting to torsional movement and vertical translation may be independently controlled.
As shown in Fig. 1, clamping members 42 and 43 are generally T-shaped with the bottom of the lT rpreferably engaging the tail piece 21. Other shapes ofclamping members are possible. Members 42 and 43 may be springy if desired.
Pads -4'9 and 4| and clamping members 42 and 43 with bolt`44 really 'form a transmission coupling with adjustable characteristics. Suitable apertures 45 in the casing give access to bolt 44 and permit adjustment after assembly. Flexible pads 46 and 41 at thecenter of the T may be provided to engage the casing wall. l Flexible pads 48 and 49 on opposite sides of the tail piece 21 may be also provided. l
Clamping members 42 and 43 are adapted to clamp any vibratable element of an energy translator between the head ends 50 and 5| The means clamped may be an amature of an electro magnetic device, a piezo crystal, a condenser y assembly'or any other suitable means. Thus as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a flat torsionally responsive crystal 52, suitably wrapped, may be gripped between clamping endsv 50 and 5|. The crystal may be braced at the faces and sides thereof by flexible pads 53 and 54. Wires 55 may be brought out to soldering terminals 56 carried by terminal block |1. I
The female clamp parts are more or less tightly coupled to the translator and both vibrate at an amplitude small in comparison to that of the drive rod. Thus the effective vinertia at the drive rod of the relatively massive female part of the coupling and the manual adjustment is small.
In Figs. 6 and- 7, a modification is shown where a condenser having movable plates is used as a translating device. In this form, an insulatingY frame consisting of at plates 6|! and 6| with spacers 62 and 63 is provided. Carried by plate 60 is a pair of * metal electrodes 65 and 66, these being long and narrow and preferably symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of plate 60. Plate 6| also carries similar plates 61 and 68. Spaced between these opposing elecftrodes" is a vibratable electrode plate 10 rigidly clamped at 1| and having formed integral therewith clamps 12 and 13. Suitable insulating means such as hard rubber pads 1 5 may be provided at 12. AObviously plates 65 and 69 as one pair and 66 and 61 as the other pair cooperate with movable plate 19 for translating action. A cross 66 and is'brought lout to a terminal 18. Similarly i wire 19 connects plates 66 and 61 and is broughtv out to a terminal 90. Wire 8| is connected to and strain, the compressibility and resistance depending upon` the initial compression. It is clear that by having pads 40 and 4| different, it is possible to control the vibratory characteristics of the entire coupling. Thus particularly desirable results have been secured by having one pad of.
a' material whose predominant-characteristic is.
elasticity, such as live rubber, and by having the other pad of viscous material IWhose predominant 4 characteristic is resistance, such as Viscoloid.
A pair of clamping members 42 and 43 engage the padded tail piece and the pressure of engagement may be controlled by'bolt 44 loosely passing 75l ymovable plate 10. Thus push-pull circuit action is obtained. It is understood that wire 8| and one of the remaining two terminals may be utilized in a conventional two wire system.
By virtue of the construction disclosed herein highly desirable characteristics are obtained. Thus the non-circular journals at I8 and I9 provideincreased elasticity to shock in the drive mounting perpendicular to the record. ThisA would occur in case they entire device were set .down too hard on the needle. Guard 32 of course protects the entire device against excessive shock. Also, the resilient mounting permits the needle to adjust itself in the record groove. wear in reproduction may be greatly reduced,
By having substantial resiliency, groove m The drive rod bearings also provide an end thrust protection and tend to hold the rod with some elasticity against longitudinal movement. This end -thrust provision does not impair the rotational flexibility of the mounting as is the case when the rubber supports are cemented to prevent longitudinal movement. The actual elastic structure is simplicity itself-merely some rubber tubing.
The provision of a simple flat tail piece 21 and the clamp construction also has highly desirable features. Thus the drive rod is made simple and light and has low rotational inertia. The clamp with its adjusting screw is separated from the drive rod by exible means here shown as pads 40 and 4I. Thus transmission characteristics between the drive rod and clamp may be controlled by pressure on the pads. 'I'he clamp and translating device are relatively tightly coupled. Because the clamp and bolt increase the rotational inertia of the vibratory system, it is desirable to couple it closely to the translator. y By controlling the clamp tension, the vibratory characteristics 'of the entire device may be controlled within wide limits.
One highly desirable advantage of the construction is the ready removabillty of the translating unit and replacement thereof. Thus any translating unit, crystal, electro-magnetic or condenser, may be replaced with another for any reason at all with a minimum of trouble.
It is clear that the assembly of the entire device may be accomplished with a minimum of equipment and skill. It 1s dlmcult to put anything together incorrectly and after assembly, the adjustment on the clamp is simple.
This application is a division of my copending application Serial No. 394,564, filed May 2l, 1941.
