ABSTRACT:
A simplified sound-reproducing device including a constant-torque spiral spring for driving a turntable on which a phonograph record is irreplaceably mounted. The spiral spring is unwound as a manual pull is exerted on a string extending out of the device, and upon release of the string, is rewound to its initial configuration, thereby causing the turntable to rotate in a predetermined direction. A reproducing stylus on a pivotal pickup arm rides in the groove on the record, and the vibrations set up in the stylus and pickup arm during record rotation are directly transmitted to a diaphragm to cause the same to emanate audible sound. Measures are taken against diaphragm deformation due to heat or shock which may be caused through the pickup arm.
