Patent number: 8576687Abstract: The invention relates to tonearm tracking mechanisms in phonograph players and mechanical devices constructed for the purpose of reproducing or playing back recorded audio material previously impressed, in the form or grooves, onto a surface of a disk, which are commonly called phonograph players or turntables. Such disk is commonly called, among other similar words, a phonograph record or a vinyl disk. The present invention is a tangential tracking tonearm mechanism, wherein the tonearm bearing subassembly has two rotary bearings in the lateral plane and a coupling linkage built into a compact subassembly. The collective contribution of these elements, when properly configured and appropriately adjusted, make, during playback of audio material on a disk, reduced playback distortion over radial tracking mechanisms and closely mimics the conditions under which nearly all masters are made.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2012Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Inventor: Frank Schröder

Publication number: 20130278752Abstract: According to the invention, the construction measuring device has a functionality for modifying the orientation of the sighting unit in a manually controllable manner, within the framework of which the orientation of the sighting unit is dynamically modified by the first or second rotary drive, according to a current direction and a current distance from a defined central anchor display point to a currently marked display point. The respective current direction defines an orientation modifying direction and the respective current distance defines an orientation modifying speed for changing the orientation of the sighting unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2012Publication date: October 24, 2013Applicant: LEICA GEOSYSTEMS AGInventors: Christian Schorr, Frank Schroeder
