Remotely controlled sound system

Claim 1

A REMOTELY CONTROLLED SOUND SYSTEM COMPRISING: A RECORDED SOUND REPRODUCING MACHINE HAVING A REPRODUCTION START ACTUATOR, A REPRODUCTION STOP ACTUATOR, AND A PAIR OF SIGNAL OUTPUT LINES; A FIRST ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICE COUPLED TO SAID START ACTUATOR; A SECOND ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICE COUPLED TO SAID STOP ACTUATOR; A SOURCE OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY; A SWITCHING NETWORK COUPLED BETWEEN SAID SOURCE AND SAID DEVICES AND COMPRISING A START SWITCH IN FIRST CIRCUIT WITH THE FIRST DEVICE AND SAID ENERGY SOURCE TO ENERGIZE SAID DEVICE UPON CLOSURE OF SAID SWITCH TO OPERATE SAID START ACTUATOR, A TIME DELAY RELAY HAVING AN OPERATOR AND HAVING NORMALLY OPEN CONTACTS IN A SECOND CIRCUIT WITH SAID SECOND DEVICE AND SAID ENERGY SOURCE, A STOP SWITCH IN A THIRD CIRCUIT WITH SAID FIRST DEVICE TO OPERATE SAID START ACTUATOR AND IN A FOURTH CIRCUIT WITH THE OPERATOR OF SAID TIME DELAY RELAY TO ENERGIZE SAID OPERATOR AND THEREUPON CLOSE SAID SECOND CIRCUIT TO OPERATE SAID STOP ACTUATOR AT A PREDETERMINED DELAY TIME AFTER OPERATION OF THE STOP SWITCH HAS OPERATED THE START ACTUATOR; AN AMPLIFIER HAVING A PAIR OF SIGNAL AMPLIFYING CHANNELS, EACH COUPLED TO ONE OF SAID SIGNAL OUTPUT LINES AND SAID AMPLIFIER HAVING OUTPUT MEANS FOR EACH CHANEL; A SOUND CONTROL UNIT HAVING A PAIR OF SIGNAL TRANSMITTING CHANNELS COUPLED TO SAID AMPLIFIER OUTPUT MEANS, EACH OF SAID CHANNELS HAVING A VOLUME CONTROL MEANS AND A BALANCE CONTROL MEANS, THE BALANCE CONTROL MEANS OF THE TWO CHANNLES BEING MECHANICALLY INTERLOCKED FOR OPERATION THEREOF IN UNISON TO INCREASE SIGNAL TRANSLATION THROUGH ONE OF SAID CHANNELS OF SAID UNIT AND SIMULTANEOUSLY DECREASE SIGNAL TRANSLATION THROUGH THE OTHER OF SAID CHANNELS OF SAID UNIT; A TRANSFORMER PRIMARY WINDING COUPLED TO EACH OF SAID CHANNELS OF SAID SOUND CONTROL UNIT; A TRANSFORMER SECONDARY WINDING COUPLED TO EACH OF SAID PRIMARY WINDING; AN EARPHONE CONNECTED ACROSS EACH SECONDARY WINDING TO RECEIVE A SIGNAL FROM ITS RESPECTIVE CHANNEL; AND CONDUCTING MEANS COUPLED BETWEEN TAP POINTS IN SAID SECONDARY WINDINGS, TO PRODUCE A MIXTURE OF SIGNALS FROM BOTH CHANNELS IN EACH EARPHONE.
