Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to an improved sound reproducer and more particularly to an improved phonograph pick-up device of the magnetic type for use in reproducing stereophonic or binaural sound from the groove of a phonograph record.
  • Stereophonic or binaural reproduction of sound consists in the use of at least two speakers spaced from one another so that upon activation of the speakers the listener will receive the impression of sound being emitted from two different locations.
  • a phonograph record When a phonograph record is used as the information storage unit, it must be specially grooved for such a stereophonic system since the system is actually a two-channel system and information from a single record groove is fed to two individual speakers with the system determining which portion of the information will be fed to each of the speakers.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawings herein is a diagrammatic representation of the V-groove. Rectangular coordinates having axis labeled A and B are superimposed on the groove in FIG. 1 and each of these axis is at a 45 degree angle with the vertical and perpendicular to one side of the groove and parallel to the other groove side.
  • the position of the stylus is interpreted by the sound reproducer, usually by mechanical means situated in the pick-up head, to actuate one of the speakers in accordance with the component of stylus movement along the A axis toward or away from side A; and the other speaker in accordance with the component of stylus movement along the B axis.
  • a second system in use today for reproduction of stereophonic sound utilizes a record cut with a groove which is substantially V-shaped with the information embodied therein on axes, such as A and B discussed above.
  • the axis A is perpendicular to the vertical and the axis B is perpen dicular to the horizontal.
  • the axes are shifted or rotated 45 degrees about the zero point.
  • the information in the record is sensed in the same manner as the first system mentioned above except that the movements of the stylus which is sensed is vertical and horizontal.
  • the present invention is concerned primarily with the first system discussed above which will be referred to as Re. 25,662 Reissued Oct. 13, 1964 ice the i-groove system.
  • the improved phonograph pick-up which is the subject of this invention can be modified for use in the second system discussed above, which will be referred to as the lateral-vertical system, or any like system wherein the coordinates of the record groove are shifted or rotated.
  • the invention herein disclosed has for its principal object the provision of a stereophonic pick-up device which will give uniform and accurate response over a wide frequency band, will produce a minimum of [crosstalk] crosstalk and will allow for considerable amplification of the signal at the pick-up head While substantially eliminating detection of extraneous signals.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a stereophonic pick-up device which can be employed with a binaural system utilizing [pronograph] phonograph records having informatilon in V-grooves and which can be easily modified for utilization with phonograph records having information in lateral-vertical grooves, or which can be modified to detect information in phonograph rec- 0rd grooves utilizing other rotated axis systems.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a stereophonic pick-up device employing improved mounting of the stylus supporting armature which allows movement of the armature with a minimum of effort in all necessary directions and maintains the armature in a neutral position when it is not in use, and which employs an improved magnetic coupling member whereby an armature of very low mass can be utilized so that a minimum of record wear results.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a stereophonic pick-up device which is relatively simple, rugged, of strong construction and economical to manufacture and which will provide satisfactory service over long periods of time.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a stereophonic pick-up having a replaceable stylus assembly which permits the stylus and its associated parts to be replaced when it is worn or damaged and which has most of the expensive and close tolerance parts incorporated in the body of the pick-up so that the replaceable stylus assembly can be relatively simple and inexpensive to replace.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a molded plastic stereophonic pick-up with the magnetic source, pole pieces and coils molded therein so that there can be no relative motion or vibration therebetween and the wiring connections can be molded integrally in the pick-up at the time of manufacture with the result that the electrical connections and circuits are effectively protected from moisture and corrosion while the moving parts which are subject to wear are mounted upon a replaceable stylus assembly, thereby providing a substantially permanent portion of the pick-up and a replaceable portion.

  • the pole structure consists essentially of a substantially square main plate 31 having an undersurface 31a to which the upper ends of cores 32, 33, 34, and 35 are attached.
  • the cores are attached to the main plate undersurface in such manner that each of the four corners of the main plate has a core extending downwardly therefrom.
  • the main plate and cores are formed of a material of high mag netic permeability, such as soft iron or a nickel iron alloy or any other suitable magnetic material, and each of the cores, which is solid and cylindrical in configuration, forms the core of a surrounding electric coil. Electric coils 36, 37, 38, and 39 are shown surrounding cores 32, 33, 34, and 35 respectively.
  • each of the cores is formed with a pole face which is inclined at a 45 degree angle from the horizontal.
  • cores 32, 33, 34, and 35 have formed at their lower ends pole faces 32a, 33a, 34a and 35a respectively which are inclined so that the planes of faces 32a and 33a intersect at a right angle above the faces as do the planes of pole faces 34a and 35a.
  • Permanent magnet 40 of solid cylindrical shape is disposed with its upper end adjacent undersurface 31a of the main plate and extends downwardly so that its lowermost end is approximately the same distance from undersurface 31a as the lower ends of the coils.
  • Mounting member 41 which has its uppermost surface adjacent the lower end of permanent magnet 40, is provided with cylindrical opening 41a in its center so that armature 42 which extends therethrough is disposed within the field of the permanent magnet and between opposite pole faces. End 42a of the armature from which stylus 43 extends is disposed between faces [34b] 34a and 'E35b] 35a while end 42b of the armature is disposed between faces [32b] 32a and [33b] 33a.
  • Mounting member 41 is formed from any substantially rigid non-magnetic material and diaphragm 44 which is formed of any soft pliable material, such as rubber, is fastened to the side walls of the cylindrical opening and surrounds a portion of the armature to support it and prevent it from butting against the mounting member.
  • the armature is free to move within opening 41a without touching the mounting member and the diaphragm prevents unwanted oscillations of the armature by providing damping.
  • Armature 42 which is a hollow cylindrical member, is mounted so that its ends 42a and 42b extend for equal lengths from the diaphragm.
  • the armature is formed from a magnetic iron which is of high permeability and low reluctance in order that there will be the least magnetic drop in the armature from its center to either end.
  • the stylus can be a jewel needle or any other suitable material which is used for this purpose.
  • Mounting member 41 and diaphragm 44 normally maintain armature 42 in a neutral position when no force is being applied to stylus 43.
  • armature end 42a In the neutral position armature end 42a is equally distant from faces [34b] 34a and [35b] 35a and armature end 42b is equally distant from faces [32b] 32a and [33b] 33a.
  • This assembly has four distinct magnetic paths.
  • One magnetic path is composed of the upper end of permanent magnet 40, main plate 31, coil core 35, pole face 35a, armature end 42a, and the lower end of the permanent magnet.

  • Each of the magnetic paths has flux flowing therethrough which is developed by the permanent magnet and each path contains an air gap between the armature and the respective pole face. Since an air gap presents a very high reluctance to the flow of magnetic flux, any change in the air gap in any of these magnetic paths will result in a substantial change in the amount of flux flowing in that path.
  • Movement of armature 42 normal to pole faces 35a and 32a cannot affect the third and fourth magnetic paths since such movement is parallel to pole faces 33a and 34a and cannot change the air gaps in those paths. Likewise movement of armature 42 normal to pole faces 33a and 34a cannot affect the flux flowing in the first and second magnetic paths.

  • the signals generated in coils 38 and 37 respectively can be combined at any convenient point.
  • the signals generated in these coils are indicated diagrammatically by the numerals 49 and 50 being fed into amplifier 51 so that the [some] sum of their amplitudes can be applied to speaker 52.
  • any change in position of side B in FIGS. 1 and 2 along the B axis would result in movement of stylus 43 and armature 42 toward or away from pole faces 35a and 32a, which would be detected by coils 39 and 36 and result in an audio signal applied to speaker 48, and any change in position of side A in FIGS. 1 and 2 along the A axis would result in movement of stylus 43 and armature 42 toward or away from pole faces 34a and 33a, which would be detected by coils [39] 38 and [36] 37 and result in an audio signal applied to speaker 52.

Movement of armature 63 toward or away from pole faces [54] 54a and 55a will generate signals-in coils 58 and 59 of opposite polarity whose amplitudes are added and fed through suitable amplification to a speaker. Also coils 60 and 61 form a coil pair and are connected in the same manner.
