Mechanical sonic vibration generator with frequency step-up characteristic

Claim 1

IN A SONIC VIBRATION SYSTEM, THE COMBINATION OF: AN ELASTICALLY VIBRATORY SYSTEM COMPRISED OF A RESONATOR HAVING A RESONANT FREQUENCY RANGE AND A PORTION FREE TO VIBRATE IN SAID RESONANT FREQUENCY RANGE, AND SONIC VIBRATION GENERATING MEANS FOR GENERATING VIBRATION IN SAID SYSTEM IN SAID RESONANT FREQUENCY RANGE COMPRISED OF A BEARING MEANS FIXED TO SAID FREE PORTION OF SAID ELASTICALLY VIBRATORY RESONATOR TO VIBRATE THEREWITH, AN INERTIA ROTOR GUIDED BY SAID BEARING MEANS FOR TURNING IN AN ORBITAL PATH IN ENGAGEMENT WITH SAID BEARING MEANS, SAID INERTIA ROTOR BEING DRIVABLE AROUND SAID PATH TO VIBRATE SAID RESONATOR AT A FREQUENCY IN THE REGION OF THE RESONANT FREQUENCY, SAID INERTIA ROTOR HAVING A BEARING SURFACE WHICH ROLLS AROUND A CLOSED PATH DEFINED BY SAID BEARING MEANS SO THAT THE PERIODIC FORCE REACTION OF SAID INERTIA ROTOR IN ITS ORBIT IS DELIVERED TO SAID ELASTICALLY VIBRATORY RESONATOR VIA SAID BEARING MEANS, THE RELATIVE CIRCUMFERENTIAL PATH DIMENSIONS OF SAID BEARING MEANS AND SAID BEARING SURFACE BEING DIFFERENT BUT OF SIMILAR ORDER OF MAGNITUDE SUCH THAT SAID INERTIA ROTOR DESCRIBES MORE THAN ONE CYCLE AROUND SAID BEARING MEANS WHILE SAID INERTIA ROTOR TURNS ONCE RELATIVE TO ITS OWN AXIS AND TO ROLL AROUND SAID BEARING SURFACE, AND A ROTATING DRIVE SHAFT MEANS FOR ROTATING SAID ROTOR RELATIVE TO ITS OWN AXIS, ALL IN SUCH MANNER THAT SAID ROTATING SHAFT MEANS CAUSES MORE THAN ONE REVOLUTION OF SAID INERTIA ROTOR AND A CORRESPONDING NUMBER OF ELASTIC VIBRATION CYCLES IN SAID ELASTICALLY VIBRATORY SYSTEM FOR EACH REVOLUTION OF SAID SHAFT MEANS, AND THEREBY ACCOMPLISHING A STEP-UP IN FREQUENCY FROM SAID SHAFT MEANS TO SAID VIBRATORY SYSTEM, WHEREBY SAID DRIVE MEANS EXPERIENCES REDUCED ANGULAR REACTION AND ENHANCED ROTATIONAL STABILITY IN RELATION TO TORQUE PULSES TRANSMITTED BY BACK REACTION FROM SAID ROTOR.
