Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to ink recording and more particularly relates to novel method and apparatus for ink recording as in a direct-writing oscillograph or facsimile systems.
  • Oscillograph recording by prior art techniques has generally been limited to a frequency response of between 100 and 200 cps. While higher frequency responses can be obtained with recorders using light reflected from a galvanometer onto light-sensitive paper, the light-sensitive paper is expensive and there is a time delay in developing the trace. Moreover, the traces also have a low contrast and cannot readily be produced in different colors.
  • ink manufactured to contain within it magnetic particles, for example, a suspension of ferrite particles in a liquid, is formed into a fine stream, about 10O0th of an inch in diameter, by a nozzle which is supplied with the ink under pressure.
  • the ink stream is directed at and strikes a moving chart an inch or two from the nozzle, thereby producing a permanent visual record.
  • the ink is brought under the influence of two separate and distinct magnetic fields, one a fixed magnetic field and the other a variable magnetic field whose variations correspond to the input signal to be recorded. After the ink emerges from the nozzle, surface-tension forces cause the jet to break up into drops.
  • the polarizing magnetic field is generated by means of an electrical current that flows through a pair of coils respectively wound about a pair of magnetic pole pieces positioned on either side of the path taken by the drops.
  • the deflecting magnetic field must also be a non-uniform field. Consequently, one of the two pole pieces of the latter is shaped differently than the other.
  • oscillographs and facsimile recorders are superior in a number of respects to similar type devices of the prior art.
  • the present invention operat ing as an oscillograph, a considerably higher frequency response limit is obtained, it can operate at higher speeds, and it can provide traces in different colors.
  • a magnetic ink is utilized, either the oscillographic trace or the facsimile recording can in turn be fed directly to magnetic scanning devices for subsequent electrical readout, a step that was not heretofore possible.
  • FIGURE 1 illustrates the basic combination of elements in one embodiment of an oscillograph according to the present invention
  • FIGURE 2 shows a modification of the FIG. I arrangement to adapt it for a specific use
  • FIGURE 3 illustrates the basic construction of another embodiment of an oscillograph according to the present invention
  • FIGURE 4 illustrates a variation of the embodiment of FIG. 1 as adapted for facsimile recording
  • FIGURE 5 illustrates a variation of the embodiment of FIG. 3 as adapted for facsimile recording.
  • the ink is supplied under pressure at one end of a nozzle wherein it flows through a very narrow passageway running along the center of the nozzle until it emerges from the orifice at the other end as a fine jet or stream of ink which, in the figure, is designated 11.
  • a diameter of approximately a 1000th of an inch is preferred for the stream of ink and, therefore, the diameter of the passageway through the nozzle and of the orifice at its forward end must be substantially the same.
  • the pressure applied to the ink to force it through the nozzle may, for example, be about 50 p.s.i.
  • the ink stream is directed toward and ultimately strikes a moving chart or reel of recording paper 12 positioned an inch or two from the nozzle.
  • the ink itself includes as an important part thereof particles of a magnetic nature in order that the ink, after it has formed into droplets, may be magnetically polarized. Inks of this sort are well known and, therefore, need not be described with any further detail.
  • the ink is in the form of a column as it emerges from the nozzle but very shortly thereafter, due to surfacetension forces, the jet is caused to break up into tiny drops 11a.
  • These forces may be and preferably are synchronized by vibrating nozzle 10 at a high frequency, for example 120 kilocycles, and for this purpose a vibrator device, generally designated 13, is linked to the nozzle.
  • a vibrator device generally designated 13
  • the device shown in the figure is based on magnetostrictive principles and, therefore, includes a nickel magnetostrictive transducer 13a about which a coil 13b is wound.
  • element 13a has the configuration of a rectangular plate and has a hole through it at one end through which the nozzle snugly fits.
  • Coil 13b is wound about the other end of element 13a and, in order to produce the vibrations, the 120 kilocycle signal is applied to it at its terminals 13c. In response to this signal, the length of element 13a periodically increases and decreases and this, in turn, forces the nozzle to vibrate at the same frequency. These forced vibrations of the nozzle are desirable because they set the exact distance from the nozzle at which the drops form and, in addition, they make the drop size and spacing uniform.
  • the ink-drops form After the ink-drops form, they pass midway between a pair of magnetic pole pieces 14a and 14! about which a pair of coils 15a and 15b are respectively wound.
  • the current, constituting the input signal from a source 18 is applied between terminals 15c, with the result that the current flows through the coils to produce a strong modulated magnetic field between the pole pieces which, as may be seen from the figure, are shaped to enhance the strength of the magnetic field.
  • the ink droplets pass between the faces of pole pieces 14a and 14b and, therefore, pass directly through this modulated magnetic field.
  • each droplet is magnetically polarized as it passes through this field to become, in effect, a tiny magnet of a magnitude and polarity determined by the instantaneous magnetic field in the gap at the time of passage of the droplet through it.
  • acicular Fe O (iron oxide) particles 0.5 micron long and 0.08 micron in diameter were dispersed in a droplet of pharmaceutical mineral oil 0.02 inch across or in diameter. Under a microscope, prior to the application of the magnetizing field, the particles were seen to be randomly oriented throughout the droplet. After application of the magnetizing field to magnetize the particles, long parallel threads, directionally oriented similarly, were seen in the droplet.
  • Pole pieces 16a and 16b are designed to produce both a strong DC. or fixed magnetic field as well as a nonuniform field and, for this reason, one of the pole pieces, namely, pole piece 16a in FIG. 1, is shaped differently from the other pole piece. Because this field is nonuniform, the attractive or repulsive forces applied to the droplets as they enter the field midway between the pole pieces are unequal and, therefore, are deflected in a direction that is transverse to the direction in which paper 12 is moving. The extent to which each droplet is deflected is determined by the magnitude or degree of its magnetization, with the result that, upon striking the paper, an oscillographic trace of the input signal is recorded on the paper.
  • a mask or ink collector can be provided for the arrangement in FIG. 1 for the purpose of intercepting all ink droplets except those which pass through the system undeflected.
  • a straight-line trace can be produced on the paper whose intensity or density can be controlled by the input signal since the application of such a signal serves to cut off the flow of ink droplets which can arrive at the paper.
  • FIG. 2 A modification of the FIG. 1 arrangement along the lines mentioned is shown in FIG. 2 wherein the mask or ink collector, designated 17, is interposed between paper 12 and pole pieces 16.
  • Member 17 has an opening 17a through it which is located so as to be midway between the pole pieces, that is to say, it is located so that in the absence of an input signal, the unpolarized and, therefore, undeflected ink droplets will pass through it to the center-line of the paper.
  • member 17 may be dome-shaped and formed into a trough along its edge to direct the ink collected to an outlet port 17b from which the ink can be drained.
  • FIG. 3 Another embodiment of a magnetic ink-droplet oscillograph is illustrated in FIG. 3, and as shown therein, a standard rectangular-shaped magnet 20 is used in used in this embodiment to provide a uniform D.C. magnetic field between its pole faces 20a and 20b. Also, in this case, nozzle 10 is made of a magnetic material and is mounted so that ink column 11 emerging from its orifice extends directly into the air gap between the poles of the magnet. Finally, a coil 15 is wound around nozzle 10 and the signal to be recorded is applied to its ends 150.
  • the nozzle is now made of a magnetic material, a magnetic field is induced in it by the current flowing through the surrounding coil, with the result that ink column 11 becomes magnetized and may from a practical point of view, be said to be a flexible bar magnet. That is, since the fluid containing the magnetic particles fills the center of nozzle 10, the nozzle to all intents and purposes is a solid mangetic material. When current is applied to coil 15, the magnetic field induced thereby is distributed with substantial uniformity throughout the entire nozzle interior including its axial center containing the fluid with the magnetic particles.
  • the former is preferred for the nozzle to provide a greater field intensity in the fluid. Consequently, the ink column is attracted to one or the other of the pole faces and as the strength and direction of its polarization varies with the input signal, the column, as well as the droplets that become detached from it, swing back and forth to provide the permanent visual image of the signal on the recording medium 12.
  • the apparatus previously described for oscillograph use in FIG. 1, is herein adapted to be used for facsimile recording.
  • the ink is magnetically divided generally into two distinct trajectories, one of which records by deposition onto a recording surface and the other of which is intercepted for return to the system.
  • the voltage applied to the coils 15a and 15b will in its simplest form be a fixed voltage which may be turned off or on in accordance with intelligence signals emanating from information source 18, which may be a facsimile transmitter or the like and transmitted through appropriate gating and shaping circuits (not shown).
  • information source 18 which may be a facsimile transmitter or the like and transmitted through appropriate gating and shaping circuits (not shown).
  • each droplet after passing between pole pieces 14a and 14b will either be mag netically polarized or unpolarized depending on whether the voltage generated by the intelligence signal was on or off when that droplet passed between the magnetic poles.
  • the effect is analogous to that described above in connection with FIG. 2.
  • the coils 15a and 15b may be switched by appropriate circuitry between two distinct non-zero voltages.
  • the droplets polarized with the first voltage applied to the coils will have one magnetic intensity while those droplets polarized with the other voltage will have a second and different magnetic intensity.
  • the droplets differentiated selectively will then as before, pass between deflecting pole pieces 16a and 16b to be deflected into their respective trajectories.
  • a web sheet 12 can be fed from a supply roll as before.
  • the recording sheet 12 is 4 wrapped onto the periphery of a uniformly rotating drum 21.
  • the magnetic components In order to advance the magnetic components relative to the surface of sheet 12 they, along with nozzle 10, are integrally mounted in a fixed relation to each other and to the sheet surface.
  • a lead screw or the like By means of a lead screw or the like (not shown) they are advanced axially parallel to the drum so that the ink trajectory can incrementally charge relative to the recording surface.
  • the recording sheet moves at a rate proportional to the nan rate.
  • those droplets unpolarized or polarized to a different magnetic intensity are deflected by means of the deflection field into an ink draining channel 23 formed by an interception plate 24.
  • the magnetic state of those droplets not subject to the signal pulse is not critical so long as it is sufficient to cause the droplets to be intercepted under the influence of the applied field.
  • Those ink droplets intercepted by channel 23 are then funneled via a hose connection 25 to an ink reservoir 26.
  • a pump 37 operated by a float control (not shown) in reservoir 36 returns the surplus ink via conduit 28 to the source of ink supply.
  • FIG. there is an apparatus embodiment similarly adapted for facsimile recording but less acutely responsive than the embodiment of FIG. 4. That is, in this embodiment the signal from coil is applied to the fluid mass in contrast to the individual droplets of the previous embodiment, such that the discreteness of droplet defiection and as a result the reproduction quality, while satisfactory is of lower quality than that obtained 6 by the apparatus of FIG. 4.

  • a method of recording wit-h liquid ink comprising the steps of: forming a droplet stream of liquid ink including therein a distribution of a magnetic polarizable component; selectively polarizing the droplets in said stream by means of an applied magnetic field responsive to a signal of information intelligence; and, applying a second magnetic field to said droplets after said last recited step to deflect at least some of said droplets relative to a surface on which droplets deposit to record said information.
