Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
LEWIS E. CURTIS, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
PHONOGRAPH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 667,117, dated January 29, 1901.
Application filed March 25, 1898. Serial No. 675,095. {No model.)
To Ltl whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, LEWIS E. CURTIS, a citizen ol the United States, residing'in Chicago, in the county of Cook .and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Devices for Reproducing Sound, of which the following isa specification.
This improvement relates to devices for reproducing sounds.
The object of this invention is to improve the quality of the tone obtained in reproducing son 11d-vibrations byeliminating the fry and other foreign sounds. It has been devised more particularly for use in talkingmachines.
I have discovered that a full, clear, and sweet reproduction of sound-vibrations free from all foreign sounds can be obtained by substituting for the diaphragms now in use a non-resonant diaphragm of soft or semisoft material-for example, such as woven or felted cloth. The thickness of the diaphragm. may be varied from very thin material to one oft' considerable thickness. The diaphragm maybe made of any soft or semisoft material; but I prefer to use felt and to confine it in the diaphragm-holder without stretching or placing it under tension.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown a sectional View of a phonograph or talkingmachine, the reproducer and diaphragm being also in section.
In the drawing, A represents the ordinary cylinder carrying a sound-record, A its Inandrel, and A2 the feed-screw for carrying the reproducer B along the record-cylinder A. The reproducer or diaphragm-holder B is of the ordinary construction used in talking-machines in which myimproved diaphragm C is clamped by the screw-ring B.
D is the style, and the lever carrying the style and which is connected to the diaphragm, so that any vibration given to the style will be conveyed to the diaphragm and the sound reproduced.
E is the tip or nozzle for receiving the lis` tening horn or tubes.
What I claim is- 1. A non-resonant diaphragm for reproducing sound-vibrations made of soft or semisoft felted fabric, substantially as specified.
2. A non-resonant diaphragm for reproducing sound-vibrations composed of soft or semisoft material free from tension, substantially as specified.
