Definitions

  • JOSEPH MASSOLLE F BERLIN-WILMERSDORF, GERMANY, ASSIGNOR TO TRI-ERGON A. G., OF ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, A CORPORATION OF SWITZERLAND.
  • the electrostatic telephones for transforming alternating electric currents with sound tlltlIiltl'OI'lFtlCzi lnl'O sound waves comprise a rigid capacity body and an elastic or resilient diaphragm located in close proximity to the former and consisting of a mica him or the like with a metallic coating thereon. If electric potentials are applied intermediate between the rigid capacity body and the metallic coating, the distance between the diaphragm and the capacity surface of the rigid body will vary according" to the degree of applied potential, due to electrostatic attraction and the movements of the. diaphragm will pro- -duce sound or acoustic vibrations in the surrounding air coupled therewith.
  • any ⁇ "lbrating diaphragm has a series of pronounced .resonance notes or tonality and the frequencies corresponding to such resonance notes involve or produce disproportionately wide amplitudes of the diaphragm and overrun considerably all of the other frequencies.
  • the object of this invention is to have the form of the curve correspond perfectly to the variations of the fluctuations of applied potential and with this object in view the distance between the capacity surface and the diaphragm is made essentially less near the periphery than at the centre so that the t llttlzllltlg'll'l will be influenced by the electrostatic forces with a power gradually increasing in the direction from the centre towards the periphery. 'In this way the diaphragm will be efliciently prevented 40 from swinging in pronounced resonance notes.
  • Figure 1 is a sec- 1929. Serial No. 341,548.
  • the diaphragm 1 is peripherally attached to and enclosed in a frame 2.
  • a rigid capacity body 3 of slightly concave, preferably conical, shape is provided and firmly connected with theframe 2 by means of screws or the like, as clearly shown.
  • thin sheetof insulating material such as nnca, having a conducting 'metallic coating; thereon.
  • the capacity body 3 If a constant electrical potential difference is provided intermediate between the capacity surface of the body 3 and the metallic coating of the diaphragm, the latter will be bent inwards, upon talking, from the position of rest, shown in dotted lines at 4, into the position 1 shown in full line.
  • the shape of the capacity body or of the active surface thereof involves that the distance between the capacity surface andthc diaphragm is substantially less near the periphery as at 5, than at a central point thereof, as at 6. Consequently the electrostatic forces are substantially more powerful near the periphery than near the centre of the diaphragm and the capacity surface, so that the diaphragm will be controlled or influenced with increasing intensity from the centre towards the periphery thereof.
  • the seat formed by the head 7 of a screw provided at the centre of .the body 3, serves the purpose of supporting the diaphragm centrally, in order to produce smaller distances between the diaphragm and the body 3 which are equivalent to or bring about an intensification of sound.
  • the capacity body 3 is provided with perforations 8 for the purpose of reducing the damping in the narrow space between the diaphragm and the body 3.
  • the damping is chiefly produced by or dependent upon the friction of the air fluctuating on and between the diaphragm 1 and the capacity surface, so that it will be possible to control the aerial friction and reduce the same to any desired degree by adequately dimensioning the perforations 8 or selecting the number and position thereof.
