- reference numeral 1 indicates a cantilever arm carrying at one end a stylus 2 and fixed at the other end to a flat armature 3 magnetized with north and south magnetic poles in the direction of its thickness.
- the armature 3 is designed so that its center of gravity lies centrally of its center axis 2-2, and is shaped in such a configuration as to be symmetrical relative to two assumed straight lines X--X and Y- Y intersecting with the center axis Z.--Z and each other at right angles and relative to an assumed line O--O crossing the lines X---)( and YY at an angle of 45 thereto and intersecting with the center axis 2-2.

- the cantilever arm I is mounted on the armature 3 at such a location that the center axis Z--Z of the armature 3 in the direction of its thickness is substantially in agreement with the axis of the cantilever arm 1 in its lengthwise direction, that the center G of gravity of the armature 3 lies at or near the center of vibration of a vibration system and that the line O-O runs in substantially the same direction as that of the stylus 2.
- a pair of magnetic cores 4R and 41.. are disposed on the extensions of the lines X-X and YY symmetrically relative to the line O--O in opposing relation to the peripheral surface of the armature 3.
- the magnetic cores 41R and 4L are positioned under the armature 3.
- the magnetic cores 4R and 4L are, for example, the socalled E-shaped cores, as exemplified in FIG. 3, which have three platelike magnetic poles P P and P equally spaced from adjacent ones and interconnected at one end with one another.
- the relative position of each of the magnetic cores 4R and 4L to the armature 3 is such that where the stylus 2 is not subjected to vibration, namely in its stationary condition, the central magnetic pole P lies on a line L-L passing the center of gravity of the armature 3, namely the center G of vibration of the vibration system and intersecting with the center axis Z-Z of the cantilever arm 1 at right angles thereto.

If the displacement of the armature 3 from its full-line position to the cantilever side is defined to be minus displacement, upper corners 3C and 3D of the square-shaped armature 3 are displaced by +A and the lower comers 3A and 3B are displaced by ---A.
- the vector R causes the comer 3A of the ar mature 3 to be displaced by .2A from its neutral position and the corner 3C to be displaced by +2A from its neutral position. While, the displacements of the corners 3B and 3D by the vertical and horizontal components Ry and R,., are opposite in direction, so that the displacements are cancelled and the corners 3B and 3D are not displaced.
- the armature 3 With the vertical component Ry of the vector -R, the armature 3 is displaced as indicated by broken lines in FIG. 4A, namely the comers 3A and 3B of the armature 3 are displaced by +A and the corners 3C and 3D are displaced by -A. With the horizontal component R, of the vector -R, the armature 3 is, in turn, displaced as shown by broken lines in FIG. 5A. Namely, the displacements of the corners 3B and 3C are A, while those of the corners 3A and 30 are +A. Thus, the vector -R provides displacement of the corners 3A and 3C by +2A and 2A from their neutral positions respectively.
- the corners 3A and 3C vibrate as described above.
- the corners 3A and 3B are respectively disposed opposite to the magnetic cores 4R and 4L, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3.
- the corner 3A (or 3B) of the armature 3 assumes a position opposite to the central magnetic pole P of the magnetic core 4R (or 4L), as depicted in FIG. 3B.
- a magnetic flux 1 starting from the armature 3, passing through the magnetic poles P, and P and returning to the armature 3 and a magnetic flux 1 starting from the armature 3, passing through the magnetic poles P, and P and returning to the armature 3 are equal in magnitude in the central magnetic pole P, but is opposite in direction. Therefore, no electromotive force is generated in the winding SR (or 5L) wound on the central magnetic pole P,.
- the magnetic flux 1 reaches its greatest value. This introduces variations in the magnetic flux of the central magnetic pole P providing an electromotive force in the winding 5R.
- the armature 3 Having returned to its initial position such as depicted in FIG. 3B, the armature 3stands opposite to the central magnetic pole P Under such conditions, the magnetic fluxes b, and 9, are equal in magnitude in the central magnetic pole P, and is opposite in direction, so that these magnetic fluxes are cancelled. As a result of this, no magnetic flux flows through the central magnetic pole P and a magnetic flux flows from the magnetic pole P, to the magnetic pole P, as a whole. Therefore, no electromotive force is generated in the winding 5R.
- the magnetic core is not provided with the right-hand magnetic pole P and hence is composed of the left-hand magnetic pole P, and the central magnetic pole P, in the form of a U.
- the magnetic flux 4 is at its maximum value when the corner 3A of the armature 3 lies at the center between the magnetic poles P, and P,, as depicted in FIG. 3A, and the magnetic flux I gradually decreases as the corner 3A moves from the central position.
- FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C illustrate the relationship between the magnitude of the magnetic flux I and the relative position of the corner 3A of the armature 3 to the magnetic core, in which the ordinate represents the magnitude of the magnetic flux I and the abscissa the position of the armature 3 relative to the magnetic core.
- a curve 9 indicates the magnetic flux l points a, b and c on the abscissa indicating the positions of the armature 3 depicted in FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C.

- the magnetic flux D reaches its maximum value when the armature 3 lies at the center between the magnetic poles P and P and the magnetic flux I gradually decreases as the armature 3 leaves the central position.
- the characteristics of the magnetic flux b is as indicated by a curve 10 in FIG. 6.
- a magnetic flux D flowing through the central magnetic pole P, having wound thereon the winding 5R(5L) is composed of the magnetic fluxes Q, and D which is indicated by a full-line curve 11 in FIG. 6. That is, the magnetic flux flowing through the central magnetic pole P is zero when the armature 3 assumes a position opposite to the central magnetic pole P, as shown in FIG. 3B.
- the magnetic flux I flowing through the central magnetic pole P varies linearly about the point b close the points a and c where the magnetic fluxes b, and D, reach their maximum values. Consequently, the magnetic flux I is in direct proportion to the displacement of the armature 3 to ensure that a distortionless output voltage is obtained from the winding wound on the central magnetic pole P, through which the magnetic flux I flows.
- the pickup of this invention exhibits excellent performance as a pickup for use with stereo records.
- the use of flat armature 3 and positioning the vibration center of the vibration system on or above the center G of gravity of the armature 3 reduces the mechanical impedance from the stylus 2 and eliminate distortion and crosstalk in the reproduced sound.
- the flat armature is magnetized in the direction of its thickness, the magnetization can readily be effected to enhance efiiciency of manufacturing operations.
- the magnetic cores 4R and 4L are disposed opposite to the underside of the armature 3 in the foregoing example, it is also possible to arrange the magnetic cores 4R and 4L above the armature 3 on the lines X-)( and Y-Y in the same relation as that described above, as shown in FIG. 7, or to dispose four magnetic cores 4R, 41R and dL, 4L opposite to all the corners of the armature 3 respectively in the same relation as the above-described one.
- windings SR and SR wound on central magnetic poles P of the magnetic cores 4R and lR'are connected in series to each other, and windings 5L and 51. wound on the magnetic cores ll. and All. are similarly connected in series to each other. Further, these windings are connected together in such a manner that their outputs are added together to provide a large output.
- the foregoing example employs the platelike E-shaped magnetic core 4 having the magnetic poles P P and P but it will be apparent that the top end portions of the magnetic poles P, and P can be bent inwardly as shown in FIG. 9.
- the E-shaped magnetic core may also be formed in the shape of a cylinder with the poles P and P forming the outer walls of a cylinder and with a center pole 1P extending upwardly at the center of the cylinder.
- winding is wound on the central magnetic pole P of the magnetic core d for leading out an electrical signal.
- windings 15R and llSL and 15R, 151. are wound on the magnetic poles P, and P of the magnetic core ll as illustrated in FIG. and in this case the windings R and 115R are connected in series to each other and the windings ISL and llSL' are similarly connected in series to each other.
- the turning directions of the windings and their connections are selected so that when the armature 3 stands opposite to the central magnetic pole P, outputs induced in the windings 15R and 15R, 15!. and 15L by the magnetic fluxes l and D produced in the magnetic poles I, and P may be cancelled by each other.
- the armature 3 is mounted on the cantilever arm 1 in such a manner that the lines X-X and Y-Y respectively form an angle of approximately 45 with the plane including the extension of the stylus 2 and the axial direction of the cantilever arm 1. It is preferred in practice to position the armature 3 as close to the magnetic cores 4 R and 41.. as possible.

- a support rod R is fixed on the support 7 and a hole H for supporting the rod R fitted therein is formed in the support 5. Insertion of the rod R into the hole H leads to supporting of the support 7 and consequently the stereo pickup on the support S.

- a plurality of cylindrical members 1 1 can be mounted about the cantilever arm ll, as shown in FIG. 2 by dotted line in a manner to gradually increase its diameter as the fixed portion of the cantilever arm l to the armature 3 is approached.

MOVING MAGNET TYPE STEREO PICKUP BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a novel stereo pickup for use with 45-45 stereo records and more particularly refers to a moving msving-magnet'type stereo pickup.
2. Description of the Prior Art In a conventional moving-magnet-type stereo pickup a cantilever arm is mounted on one end of a bar magnet, a stylus is fixedly mounted on one end of the cantilever arm and the bar magnet is supported by a damper in a casing of a substantially square cross section. With such a construction, when the stylus vibrates in sound grooves during playing a record the fulcrum of the vibration is likely to shift to introduce distortion in the reproduced sound.
A moving-coil type, namely Ortofon-type stereo pickup has been proposed as an improvement of the aforementioned moving-magnet-type pickup. In this moving-coil-type pickup, its center of vibration is definitely settled in the vicinity of the center of gravity of the armature to thereby eliminate one of the problems encountered in the moving-magnet-type pickup. However, this moving-coil-type pickup has great mass which is a disadvantage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention is to provide a novel stereo pickup which is free from the drawbacks experienced in the prior art, and in which a vibration system consists of a flat armature magnet magnetized in the direction of its thickness and a cantilever arm having a stylus and secured to the armature magnet, the center of vibration is settled in the vicinity of the center of gravity of the armature magnet and specific signal-generating means are provided in relation to the armature magnet, thereby reducing mechanical impedance relative to the stylus, minimizing crosstalk and distortion and facilitating the manu facture and replacement of the stylus.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIGS. I and 2 reference numeral 1 indicates a cantilever arm carrying at one end a stylus 2 and fixed at the other end to a flat armature 3 magnetized with north and south magnetic poles in the direction of its thickness. The armature 3 is designed so that its center of gravity lies centrally of its center axis 2-2, and is shaped in such a configuration as to be symmetrical relative to two assumed straight lines X--X and Y- Y intersecting with the center axis Z.--Z and each other at right angles and relative to an assumed line O--O crossing the lines X---)( and YY at an angle of 45 thereto and intersecting with the center axis 2-2. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the armature 3 may be made in the form of a plate having a thickness of, for example, approximately 0.5 mm. and a square cross section measuring 2 mm. by 2 mm.
The cantilever arm I is mounted on the armature 3 at such a location that the center axis Z--Z of the armature 3 in the direction of its thickness is substantially in agreement with the axis of the cantilever arm 1 in its lengthwise direction, that the center G of gravity of the armature 3 lies at or near the center of vibration of a vibration system and that the line O-O runs in substantially the same direction as that of the stylus 2.
A pair of magnetic cores 4R and 41.. are disposed on the extensions of the lines X-X and YY symmetrically relative to the line O--O in opposing relation to the peripheral surface of the armature 3. In the illustrated example the magnetic cores 41R and 4L are positioned under the armature 3.
The magnetic cores 4R and 4L are, for example, the socalled E-shaped cores, as exemplified in FIG. 3, which have three platelike magnetic poles P P and P equally spaced from adjacent ones and interconnected at one end with one another. The relative position of each of the magnetic cores 4R and 4L to the armature 3 is such that where the stylus 2 is not subjected to vibration, namely in its stationary condition, the central magnetic pole P lies on a line L-L passing the center of gravity of the armature 3, namely the center G of vibration of the vibration system and intersecting with the center axis Z-Z of the cantilever arm 1 at right angles thereto. The central magnetic poles P have wound thereon windings SR and SL respectively.
In the absence of the core wire 6 in the vibration system of the above construction, when recorded signals on the record become large the damper 8 is shifted in the axial direction of the cantilever arm 1, namely in the direction of the line 2-2. As a result of this, the center of vibration of the vibration system is also caused to shift in the direction of the line 2-2.
In the present invention, however, since the core wire 6 is secured at both ends to the cantilever arm I and the support 7 respectively, as previously described, shifting of the vibration system in the direction of the line 2-2 such as mentioned above is prevented. However, the core wire 6 is flexible and fine, and hence it does not obstruct vibrations of all directions about the center of vibration of the vibration system except that of the direction of the line Z-Z.
The principle of generation of the present invention pickup of the above construction will hereinafter be described in detail. Let it be assumed that the stylus 2 is subjected to vibrating forces proportional to right and left signals from directions at an angle of 45 to the vertical axis O-O passing the center axis of the armature 3, namely on the lines X-X and Y-Y. The vector R of the right signal applied to the stylus 2 on the line X-X is decomposed into a horizontal component R and a vertical component R, The vector -R is likewise decomposed into R,, and -R,.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5, a description will be given in connection with the manner in which the armature 3 is displ ed x thqxeqw an r ithoth yprtigaleqaizonent R, of the vector R, the armature 3 and the cantilever arm 1 are displaced as shown by dotted lines in FIG. 4A. If the displacement of the armature 3 from its full-line position to the cantilever side is defined to be minus displacement, upper corners 3C and 3D of the square-shaped armature 3 are displaced by +A and the lower comers 3A and 3B are displaced by ---A. With the horizontal component R,, of the vector R, the armature 3 and the cantilever arm I are respectively displaced as indicated by dotted lines in FIG. A. In this case the displacements of the corners 3B and 3C of the armature 3 are +A, while the displacements of the comers 3A and 3D are A.
Accordingly, the vector R causes the comer 3A of the ar mature 3 to be displaced by .2A from its neutral position and the corner 3C to be displaced by +2A from its neutral position. While, the displacements of the corners 3B and 3D by the vertical and horizontal components Ry and R,., are opposite in direction, so that the displacements are cancelled and the corners 3B and 3D are not displaced.
With the vertical component Ry of the vector -R, the armature 3 is displaced as indicated by broken lines in FIG. 4A, namely the comers 3A and 3B of the armature 3 are displaced by +A and the corners 3C and 3D are displaced by -A. With the horizontal component R,, of the vector -R, the armature 3 is, in turn, displaced as shown by broken lines in FIG. 5A. Namely, the displacements of the corners 3B and 3C are A, while those of the corners 3A and 30 are +A. Thus, the vector -R provides displacement of the corners 3A and 3C by +2A and 2A from their neutral positions respectively.
Briefly stated, when a force vibrating in the direction of the line X-X is applied to the armature 3, its corners lying on the line XX are vibrated but the corners on the line Y-Y are not vibrated. In other words, the force vibrating in the direction of the line X--X causes the annature 3 to vibrate about the line Y-Y. 7
It will readily be understood that when a force vibrating in the direction of the line Y-Y, namely a vector L of the left signal is applied to the pickup, the corners of the armature 3 lying on the line YY are vibrated about the line X-X.
When a force is exerted to the armature 3 in the direction of the line X-X, the corners 3A and 3C vibrate as described above. The corners 3A and 3B are respectively disposed opposite to the magnetic cores 4R and 4L, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3.
When the armature 3 is in its stationary condition, the corner 3A (or 3B) of the armature 3 assumes a position opposite to the central magnetic pole P of the magnetic core 4R (or 4L), as depicted in FIG. 3B. In this case, a magnetic flux 1 starting from the armature 3, passing through the magnetic poles P, and P and returning to the armature 3 and a magnetic flux 1 starting from the armature 3, passing through the magnetic poles P, and P and returning to the armature 3 are equal in magnitude in the central magnetic pole P, but is opposite in direction. Therefore, no electromotive force is generated in the winding SR (or 5L) wound on the central magnetic pole P,.
A discussion will be made in connection with the case where the armature 3 is subjected to the aforementioned forces R(-R) and L(-L), in particular only R and -R for the sake of simplicity. Applying the force R or -R to the armature 3, the corners 3A and 3C are displaced by l2Al about their neutral position. Accordingly, in this case the relation between the corner 3A of the armature 3 and the magnetic core 4R varies as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3C. That is, when the corner 3A of the armature 3 is displaced toward the left-hand magnetic pole P, of the magnetic core 4R as illustrated in FIG. 3A, if the armature 3 is magnetized in the direction of its thickness with polarities indicated, the magnetic flux I increases and when the corner 3A lies midway between the magnetic pole P, and
. the central magnetic pole P, the magnetic flux 1 reaches its greatest value. This introduces variations in the magnetic flux of the central magnetic pole P providing an electromotive force in the winding 5R.
Having returned to its initial position such as depicted in FIG. 3B, the armature 3stands opposite to the central magnetic pole P Under such conditions, the magnetic fluxes b, and 9, are equal in magnitude in the central magnetic pole P, and is opposite in direction, so that these magnetic fluxes are cancelled. As a result of this, no magnetic flux flows through the central magnetic pole P and a magnetic flux flows from the magnetic pole P, to the magnetic pole P, as a whole. Therefore, no electromotive force is generated in the winding 5R.
Further, when the corner 3A of the armature 3 has shifted from its position in FIG. 33 to a position midway between the central magnetic pole P, and the right-hand magnetic pole P,,, as depicted in FIG. 3C, the magnetic flux d flowing from the central magnetic pole P, to the magnetic pole P reaches its maximum value. Electromotive forces is generated in the winding 5R in response to the variations in the magnetic flux passing through the central magnetic pole P,
The foregoing will be described in detail only in connection with the magnetic flux flowing from the magnetic pole P, to the central magnetic pole P,. Let it be assumed that the magnetic core is not provided with the right-hand magnetic pole P and hence is composed of the left-hand magnetic pole P, and the central magnetic pole P, in the form of a U. In this case, the magnetic flux 4 is at its maximum value when the corner 3A of the armature 3 lies at the center between the magnetic poles P, and P,, as depicted in FIG. 3A, and the magnetic flux I gradually decreases as the corner 3A moves from the central position. FIG. 6 illustrates the relationship between the magnitude of the magnetic flux I and the relative position of the corner 3A of the armature 3 to the magnetic core, in which the ordinate represents the magnitude of the magnetic flux I and the abscissa the position of the armature 3 relative to the magnetic core. In this graph a curve 9 indicates the magnetic flux l points a, b and c on the abscissa indicating the positions of the armature 3 depicted in FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C.
Now, the magnetic flux D flowing from the central magnetic pole P, to the right-hand magnetic pole P will be discussed similarly in connection with a U-shaped magnetic core consisting of the magnetic poles P and P The magnetic flux D reaches its maximum value when the armature 3 lies at the center between the magnetic poles P and P and the magnetic flux I gradually decreases as the armature 3 leaves the central position. The characteristics of the magnetic flux b, is as indicated by a curve 10 in FIG. 6.
In practice, since the magnetic core 4 is not U- but E- shaped, a magnetic flux D flowing through the central magnetic pole P, having wound thereon the winding 5R(5L) is composed of the magnetic fluxes Q, and D which is indicated by a full-line curve 11 in FIG. 6. That is, the magnetic flux flowing through the central magnetic pole P is zero when the armature 3 assumes a position opposite to the central magnetic pole P,, as shown in FIG. 3B. When the armature 3 is displaced from the above position toward the left-hand magnetic pole P, the magnetic flux flows through the central magnetic pole P, from the bottom to the top, and when the armature 3 is displaced from the central magnetic pole P, toward the right-hand magnetic pole P the magnetic flux I flows through the magnetic pole P, from the top to the bottom.
As indicated by the curve 11 in FIG. 6, the magnetic flux I flowing through the central magnetic pole P, varies linearly about the point b close the points a and c where the magnetic fluxes b, and D, reach their maximum values. Consequently, the magnetic flux I is in direct proportion to the displacement of the armature 3 to ensure that a distortionless output voltage is obtained from the winding wound on the central magnetic pole P, through which the magnetic flux I flows.
Further, when the stylus is subjected to a vibration of only one direction, the relative position between the magnetic core and the armature disposed vertically to the direction of the vibration is not altered, as described above. Accordingly, in this case no voltage is produced in the winding wound on the magnetic core, thus preventing crosstalk which is harmful to stereo sound. Therefore, the pickup of this invention exhibits excellent performance as a pickup for use with stereo records.
In accordance with this invention the use of flat armature 3 and positioning the vibration center of the vibration system on or above the center G of gravity of the armature 3 reduces the mechanical impedance from the stylus 2 and eliminate distortion and crosstalk in the reproduced sound.
in addition, since the flat armature is magnetized in the direction of its thickness, the magnetization can readily be effected to enhance efiiciency of manufacturing operations.
Although the magnetic cores 4R and 4L are disposed opposite to the underside of the armature 3 in the foregoing example, it is also possible to arrange the magnetic cores 4R and 4L above the armature 3 on the lines X-)( and Y-Y in the same relation as that described above, as shown in FIG. 7, or to dispose four magnetic cores 4R, 41R and dL, 4L opposite to all the corners of the armature 3 respectively in the same relation as the above-described one. In the latter case, windings SR and SR wound on central magnetic poles P of the magnetic cores 4R and lR'are connected in series to each other, and windings 5L and 51. wound on the magnetic cores ll. and All. are similarly connected in series to each other. Further, these windings are connected together in such a manner that their outputs are added together to provide a large output.
The foregoing example employs the platelike E-shaped magnetic core 4 having the magnetic poles P P and P but it will be apparent that the top end portions of the magnetic poles P, and P can be bent inwardly as shown in FIG. 9. The E-shaped magnetic core may also be formed in the shape of a cylinder with the poles P and P forming the outer walls of a cylinder and with a center pole 1P extending upwardly at the center of the cylinder.
Further, in the above example the winding is wound on the central magnetic pole P of the magnetic core d for leading out an electrical signal. In some cases, however, windings 15R and llSL and 15R, 151. are wound on the magnetic poles P, and P of the magnetic core ll as illustrated in FIG. and in this case the windings R and 115R are connected in series to each other and the windings ISL and llSL' are similarly connected in series to each other. In this case the turning directions of the windings and their connections are selected so that when the armature 3 stands opposite to the central magnetic pole P, outputs induced in the windings 15R and 15R, 15!. and 15L by the magnetic fluxes l and D produced in the magnetic poles I, and P may be cancelled by each other. With such an arrangement, it is also possible to provide an output which is distortionless and free from crosstalk, as in the foregoing.
Although the foregoing examples employ the armature 3 of a square configuration, it is also possible to use circular, crossshaped, octagonal or like armatures so long as they are flat and magnetizable with north and south magnetic poles in the direction of its thickness, as depicted in FlGS. 11A, 11B and 11C. That is, the requirements imposed upon any of the armatures are such that its center of gravity lies on the central axis and that its shape is symmetrical relative to the two straight lines XX and Y-Y running in the direction of its plane and intersecting with each other at right angles. Further, in this case the armature 3 is mounted on the cantilever arm 1 in such a manner that the lines X-X and Y-Y respectively form an angle of approximately 45 with the plane including the extension of the stylus 2 and the axial direction of the cantilever arm 1. It is preferred in practice to position the armature 3 as close to the magnetic cores 4 R and 41.. as possible.
in P10. 12 there is illustrated one example ofa support S for supporting the pickup of this invention. As depicted in the figure, a support rod R is fixed on the support 7 and a hole H for supporting the rod R fitted therein is formed in the support 5. Insertion of the rod R into the hole H leads to supporting of the support 7 and consequently the stereo pickup on the support S. A groove conforming to the configuration of the support 7 is provided in the support S.
This facilitates attachment and detachment of the pickup of this invention and hence replacement of a damaged stylus with a new one is extremely simple.
It will be seen that reference to the exemplified shapes of the armature should not be construed as limiting this invention specifically thereto.
Further, a plurality of cylindrical members 1 1 can be mounted about the cantilever arm ll, as shown in FIG. 2 by dotted line in a manner to gradually increase its diameter as the fixed portion of the cantilever arm l to the armature 3 is approached. This prevents vibration of the cantilever arm I itself due to its slenderness and hence prevents generation of noise.
It will be apparent that many modifications and variations may be effected without departing from the scope of the novel concepts of this invention.
