APPARATUS FOR REPRODUCING SOUNS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 695,159, dated March 11, 1992. Application filed July 20, 1901. Serial No. 69,135. (No model.)
T0 @ZZ whom t 'may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS B. LAMBERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Reproducing Sounds, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of apparatus which is provided with elements on which sound-waves are recorded and which may be reproduced at will, and particularly to a class of apparatus that may be used in connection with toys, such as dolls and the like.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a simple, economical, and efficient apparatus for 1'eproducing sound-waves.
A further object is to provide simple, economical, and efficient apparatus for the reproduction of sound-Waves which may be used economicallyv and satisfactorily with toys, such as dolls and the like. Further objects will appear from an examination of the drawings and the following description and claims.
The invention consists principally in the combination of a vibratable element having a sound-record thereon and a vibratable body or diaphragm attached thereto.
The invention consists, further, in the combination of a vibratable strip having a soundrecord therein, a' vibratable diaphragm attached thereto, and means for causing both the recordbearing portion and the diaphragm to vibrate in unison.
The invention consists, further, in the combination of a vibratable element having a soundrecord thereon, a vibratable diaphragm attached thereto, and a stylus arranged to move thereon and contact the sound-record and vibrate it and the diaphragm in unison.
The invention consists,further and nally, in the features, combinations, and details of construction hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of one style of apparatus constructed in accordance with these improvements, and Fig. 2 a longitudinal sectional view of the same.
In the art to which this invention relates it is Well known that it has long been desirable in the manufacture of toy dolls and the like to obtain an economical, simple, and ef ficienttalking apparatus which might be used in combination therewith and so arranged that by simple manipulation sound -waves could be reproduced to cause the sounding of articulate speech, trite sayings, and the like.
The principal object of this invention,therefore, is to provide such an apparatus or instrument, as will more fully hereinafter appear.
In constructing an apparatus in accordance with these improvements I prefer to provide a cup-shaped sounding-box a and make it of any desired material, such as papiermache, though it may be made of any number of materials-such as common cardboard, tin, metal of all descriptions, Celluloid, alu minium, wood, or glass, depending upon the cost and facilities for producing such and the particular purposes for which they are adapted.
To reproduce the sound-waves, I provide what I term a sound-curve strip b, preferably rectangular in cross-section, and which is provided with a head portion c. This sound- ,Gurve strip is passed through a perforation in the head of the sound-boX, so that they are to all intents and purposes connected together. This sound-curve strip may be formed of any one of a variety of materials; but I prefer to form it of some plastic material, such as celluloid or rubber. It is prepared by iirst making it in strips and then preliminarily softening or heating it to a softened state and then engraving or indenting the sound -curve thereon by any desired mechanism, either by the direct operation of the stylus attached to a vibrating diaphragm of an ordinary phonograph or under a roll which has been previously engraved with a sound-curve. The strip is then permitted to harden, after which it can be inserted in position, as shown in the drawings.
To reproduce the sound-waves, I prefer to use a slide-block d and mount it upon the sound-curve, as sh own in the drawings. This sliding block is provided with a stylus e, secured to the sliding block by means of a spring f and in such position that the point of the stylus is always under the tension and in cngagement with the sound-curve.
By moving the stylus backwardly and for IOO . to vibrate.
I claim-- 1. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination of a vibratable strip having a sound-record thereon, a sound-curve, and a vibratable body attached thereto, substantially as described.
2. In an apparatus of the class described,
i the combination of a vibratable strip having a sound-record thereon, a sound-curve, and a vibratable body adapted to vibrate in unison therewith att-ached thereto, substantially as described.
3. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination of avibratable strip having a sound-record thereon, a sound-curve, a vibratable body attached thereto, and means for causing the record and vibratable body to vibrate in unison, substantially as described.
4t. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination of a vibratable strip having a sound-record thereon, a sound-curve, a vibratable diaphragm attached thereto, a sliding block slidingly mounted on the record, and a spring-stylus mounted on such block engaging the sound-curve, substantially as described.
5. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination of a cup-shaped soundingbox provided with a perforation in the head thereof, and a sound curve strip passed through such perforation, substantially as described.
6. In an apparatus of the class described,
the combination of a cup-shaped soundingbox having a perforation passed through its head portion, a sound curve strip passed through such perforation and provided with a head loosely engaging the head of the soundbox, and a slide on the sound-curve provided With a spring pressed stylus engaging the sound-curve, substantially as described.
7. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination of a vibratable strip having a sound-record thereon, and a body portion adapted to vibrate in unison therewith arranged at the end thereof, substantially as described.
8. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination of a vibratable resonant body portion,and a vibratable strip having a soundrecord thereon connected with and extending at an angle from the surface of such body portion, substantially as described.
9. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination of a vibratable strip having a sound-record thereon embodying a line of sound-record indentations, and a vibratable resonant body portion attached thereto at a point beyond the end of the line of indentations, substantially as described.
l0. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination of a vibratable strip having sound-record indentatious extending longitudinally thereof, and a vibratable body portion attached thereto and adapted to vibrate in unison therewith, substantially as described.
11. In an apparatus of the class described, a vibratable strip portion having sound-record indentations extending longitudinally thereof, and a resonant body portion adapted to vibrate in unison With the record portion, substantially as described.
