- I mount the crystal unit on a relatively light support of little weight and small inertia and utilize the reactive forces producedin the support by intensive vibration of the crystal vibrator unit for imparting corresponding vibrations to the acoustic load that is driven by the crystal unit.
- FIG. 1 of the drawings A simple small-size bone vibrator for a boneconduction hearing-aid device made in accordance with my invention is shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.
- the vibrator unit is in the form of a bender bar 20, made by uniting to each other two 45-X-cut Rochelle salt crystal bars 2
- To the outer faces of the bar 20 are secured electrode sheets 23, 24 and an intermediate electrode sheet 25 is provided at the junc tion of the two crystal surfaces, these electrode sheets being of thin metal and being intimately united with the faces of the crystal strips to consume only little of the potential drop available for producing an electric field through the crystal bars. Because of the requirement that the vibrator be inconspicuous, very small crystals are used in the vibrator unit, the size of the individual crystals being about 1 x x of aninch.
- a clamping member 26 comprising two metallic clamping blocks 21 and 28 secured to a mass of rigid insulating material such as Bakelite.
- a clamping cavity 29 is formed between the two metallic clamping members 21, 28 into which the lower flat end of the vibrator bar 20 is fitted, a clamping bar 30 held pressed to the blocks 21, 28- by means of free vibration thereof.
- a weight 40 of lead, for'instance, having an interior cavity providing a portion fitting tightly and attached to the end of the crystal bar and an additional projecting skirtlike portion for accommodating additional weight without clamping additional crystal surface, a free space 4
- the clamping member 26 has an upwardly extending projecting wall 45 having a slightly elevated contact portion 46 which may be applied to the bone structure of the head for transferring vibratory power thereto.
- a flat gripping member 41 connected to the end of a head band 48 by means of which the vibrator unit with its mounting may be held on the head of a person having impaired outer hearing organs, and pressed against the bone structure, such as the mastoid one.
- Figs. 1 and 2 While the vibrator unit shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is very convenient for observing and studying the reaction-type bender unit, I prefer to enclose it completely in a casing for practical use as a hearing-aid bone vibrator. This is greatly facilitated by the fact that are required between the vibratory portion of the vibrator unit and the bone structure.
- Such bone vibrator is shown in Figs. 3 to 5 in which the vibrating bender crystal bar 28 is clamped in the interior of a small casing 5
- the vibrating portion of the crystal vibrator unit 28 is weighted at the top, and its lower end is clamped in the same way as in the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, and the connection to its electrode sheets is made. by plug pins and cord likewise in the same way.
- the rear side of the casing has an opening 8
- the casing opening is closed by a sheet cover 62 which hasattached thereto a second sheet member 63 of the same size having formed in its lower portion a channel 64 for engaging the fiat end of a gripping member 66 connected to a head band 61 by means of which the unit is supported on the head and held pressed with its contact surface 53 against the bone structure, such as the mastoid bone, as shown in Fig. 6.
- the two cover sheets 82 and 53 are suitably secured to the casing, for instance, by screws 68 and completely enclose the vibrator unit so that the vibrator is protected against contact with the body of the perfrom the exterior.
- the vibrator unit may be supplied with electric sound-frequency oscillations either from the output circuit of an amplifier of a radio or phonograph instrument, or Home special sound transmitting apparatus as shown in Fig. '7.
- the apparatus comprises a transmitting microphone 18 connected through a cord II in the input circuit of an amplifying device no coupling connections additional weight is about 2 grams, and the total vibrator units with the casing weighs only about 16 grams.
- the completely assembled bone vibrator as shown in Figs. 3 to 5 is about 1%" long,
- the produced oscillations are l as long as the weight of the hearing-aid is small.
- Figs. 3 to 5 is particularly light and suitable for use with a lorgnette handle by inserting a fiat strip mounted on its upper end into the channel 84 provided for carrying it with t the head band.
- Figs. 8 and 9 my invention is shown applied to a telephone receiver. It comprises a diaphragm 8
- is connected to a coupling clamp 88 which embraces and clamps firmly the center portion of a crystal unit 89 like bender 28 shownin Figs. 1 to 5, but smaller in size.
- Thecrystal between two washers 82 unit 89 is preferably made of'Rochelle salt crystal strips and provided with electrode sheets and electrical connections therefrom to a lead 98 in a way similar to the bender shown in Figs.
- the clamp 88 shown in detail in Fig. 9, comprises a pair of clamping members 9
- One of the clamping members is connected by a coupling rod 84 to the center of the diaphragm 8
- An efiicient and simple telephone receiver is thus obtain-ed which gives a sound output having enough low as well as high frequency sound oscillations to permit good reproduction of speech and music.
- a piezo-electric crystal unit -bridge wall I06 extending between the frame portions I01 which rest on the nasal bone of the wearer of the spectacle, the clamp I05 being constructed like the receiver clamp 88.
- Bending vibrations are imparted to the two projecting weighted bender portions by supplying to their electrode sheets sound-frequencyoscillations through a cord I08 mounted in the spectacle frame. These vibrations arereactively transmitted through the coupling'member I05 and the lower bridge wall I06 to the contact portions I01 engaging the nasal bone.
- the vibratory energy of the pair of benders within the bridge chamber is thus transferred through the reaction forces acting on the coupling member to the bone structure of the spectacle wearer in a way similar to the action of the double bender in the telephone of Fig. 8.
- Fig. 11 shows a cone speaker driven by reactive coupling with a double bender in accordance with my invention.
- the speaker cone IIO has its front end supported on a. bracket I II which is attached to a casing II 2 having a relatively heavy support II3.
- Attached to the center of the cone IIO on the side facing the interior of easing I I2 is a clamp member I I4 similar to the clamp 88 of the telephone vibrator, but of suit- I able larger size, clamping the center portion of a relatively long bender unit I I5 having weights I I6 attached to its opposite vibrating ends. Additional flexible support is supplied to the junction of the cone center and to the bender coupled thereto by a flexible sheet H8.
- Fig. 12 there is shown another modification of the invention in which a somewhat smaller cone I has attached to its center portion a clamp IZI holding a double bender vibrator unit I22 like that of the structure of Fig. 11 and a light casing I23 enclosing the vibrator unit and its additional weight members I24. the weight of the vibrator unit being sufiiciently small not to place an excessive strain on the cone.
- the two weighted bender portions of the crystal unit I22 are set 4 by said vibratory chanical vibrations to a a layer of piezo-electric crystal substance, elecinto a synchronous vibration and the reactive forces exercised by the vibratory motion reacts through the coupling clamp I2I on the cone, imparting to it vibratory energy rich. in low frequencies.
