Referring now to the drawing wherein .like reference characters denote'correspond'ing parts the protected loud speaker unit of vthis invent'iiry includes a housing having a lvfrort section Il'lif'a base section l2; anda frame I'fltv'vth'which'f a conventional speaker cone 4l 6 having 'aprotc'tirig coneY I8 spaced froni` the outer surface is mounted in thehousing. Thesections of thefhosingfare secured .together with screws "or bolts l2|] which are threadedinto lues 22, and the-frangia' Wiring diagrani the secured in the housing with b'olts`24. 1 Y
Thefront ofthe housing is provided with h lzntally 'disposed slots 26 which arepositioned between louvers 2,8 which areinclined outwardly to preventrain; snow and the like 'entering thev interior of the-cone opening.- L Y 'L' They frame I4 is 'provided with'v a vilange '3,11 through '-Whichthe -bolts 2'4`y extend f and17 insidev v42 whichV forms a hinge and expansion grooves 44 are formed in the intermediate part. A similar hinge ridge 46 is provided in the cone I8 and spaced expansion' groovesl in the intermediateT part are positioned to correspond'with the grooves 44 of the cone I6 whereby a sympathetic series of vibrations are provided in the cone i8 which are responsive. to vibrations yoi? the cone I6.
A sleeve 50, extended from the center of the y cone I6, is positioned over aniron core-552 of the speaker mechanism which ismounted in a frame 54 that is C-shape in cross section, and that is carried by the frame' I4. The core 52 extends from a permanent magnet 56, and a wire coil 58, which forms the voice coil, is positioned over the sleeve 56 to which it is secured by shellac orfthe like. The core52 and magneti 56 are'.se cured in the frame-54 with acollar v6Ilfwhi'ch is'iZ-'shaped in cross section and-the bodyportion of this collar vextendsover the inner end of the voice coilfas shown. vI'he collar 6i) is of'nonmagnetic materialand oneend abuts 'an-annular rim62'1of the-:magneti56 with the lopposite end against-theinnerend wall' of the frame 54.
'S'Ihesleeve 50; which extends fromlthecone I6, is retained in spaced relation to the' frames I4 andlwith apaper pulp washer/64 having a corrugated contour and cross section to permit sliding movement of the :sleeve in relationl 4tot the frame, andthe washer is secured' in an annular recessl infa hubl 'in'theiframe' I4, asshown. ff
The inner edge' Yof-v the washer is secured, preferably by cementing, tothe sleeve,v andthe outer edge is secured in a similar manner in the hub 66 of the iframev I4. The waslierili isconventional, being used inspeakers of this type'where a single cone'is'used.
The opening at'thecenter of the coneV i6 is closedby a'disc 68 that may be integral with' the cone-or secured to the cone by suitable means. and this disc vis spacedv from and parallel to ailat surfacel at'the center'of the cone i8. Thelarea betweerrthe cones is sealed'providingadead air space, however, with the cone IB held only by the ring 40,' this 4cone may readily be" removed' and replaced.
AS illustrated inigure` 4, thevoicecoil 58 is connected bya Wire'IZ toa rheostat switch' 14, the opposite terminal of which is connected'by a wire 16 toithe secondary winding 16 of a transformenand the opposite endV of the winding 1B is connected to the coil 'wi'tha wire 86. TheV primary winding of the Vtransformer is connected bywires 84'and`86 to'a suitable source of modulatedelectrical' energy as"`desired and ina conventionalmanner.
:In: operation; the conventional speaker cone' i6 lsfvibrated by 'signals' or impulsesl from the voice coil andrnagn'et and these vibrations areitrans-v ferred or transmitted'to' thefprotecting cone-I8 through the dead air space' causing' .sound to Vbe em'itted'in the usual manner. The cone I6 being formed` of wood pulp or compressedpaper pulp is susceptible to absorbing moisture andcontinuous moistening .and drying out resultsv distortion which. causes .the voice :coil to Hbe :moved-out of axial alignment with respect to the axis of the core 52 with the result that imperfect sound Waves are produced thereby. With the cone I6 protected by the cone I8, it is not subjected to atmospheric changes and substantially perfect alignment of the voice coil wit-h the core is maintained. Distortion of the outer cone, which is not connected to the core is not so important. however, as the outer cone is not directly connected to the voice coil and magnet, it may readily be removed and replaced without taking the 4'entire speakerunit apart.
'From' theforegoing description it is thought to be obvious that an electrically actuated speaker lconstructed in accordance with my invention is :particularly-well' adapted for use by reason of the :convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated, and it will also be obvious thatmyinvention is susceptible of some change and .modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof, and for this rea- ;.son;12do not wishto be understood as limiting myself. to the precise arrangement and formation of' the several parts herein shown in carrying out r my invention in practice, except as claimed. l,
