Abstract
Abstract An audio current pick-up device for use with an electric wire 6 carrying an electric current containing audio information comprises a pair of substantially identical magnetic induction coil assemblies 26, 27 disposed in parallel to each other with an axial deviation and orthogonally to the wire, each coil means including a magnetic core in the form of rod 30, 38 and a pair of induction coils 32A, 32B, 39A, 39B wound in opposite directions on respective halves of its core rod. An output of either of the induction coils is phase-shifted by a preset amount and composited with an output of the other magnetic induction coil to form a sound pick-up signal from which a sound output signal is derived.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
An audio current pick-up device comprising a first magnetic induction coil means including at least one induction coil, a second magnetic induction coil means including at least one induction coil, said first and said second magnetic induction coil means being arranged in parallel to each other with an axial positional deviation of said induction coil of said first magnetic induction coil means with respect to that of said second magnetic induction coil means by a predetermined amount, and circuit means for combining output signals of said first and said second magnetic induction coil means to form a sound output signal, wherein said first and said second magnetic induction coil means include magnetic rod cores, respectively, and wherein a pair of coils are wound in opposite directions on respective halves of each of said magnetic rod cores, said pair of coils being connected in parallel to each other, and said output signals being derived from said coil pairs.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
157 words
An audio current pick-up device comprising a first magnetic induction coil means including at least one induction coil, a second magnetic induction coil means including at least one induction coil, said first and said second magnetic induction coil means being arranged in parallel to each other with an axial positional deviation of said induction coil of said first magnetic induction coil means with respect to that of said second magnetic induction coil means by a predetermined amount, and circuit means for combining output signals of said first and said second magnetic induction coil means to form a sound output signal, wherein said first and said second magnetic induction coil means include magnetic rod cores, respectively, and wherein a pair of coils are wound in opposite directions on respective halves of each of said magnetic rod cores, said pair of coils being connected in parallel to each other, and said output signals being derived from said coil pairs.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
