Abstract
Apparatus, systems and methods for use in imparting linear tonearm tracking for a record player are provided. The systems can include a joint member having three separate movable connections to a tonearm, guiding slot and slidable pivot base, wherein a rear pivot location of the tonearm is on the slidable pivot base. A movement of the tonearm can cause the joint member to adjust a position of the slidable pivot base, as a function of a configuration of the guiding slot, and this combination of interactions is combined to impart substantial linear tracking for the tonearm.
Claims20
A tonearm tracking system for use in playing a record comprising:
- a tonearm;
- and
- a joint member movably connected to the tonearm and movably connected to a track having a nonlinear guiding slot for guiding a guide member of the joint member, the joint member also being connected by a hitch member to a slidable pivot base to which the tonearm is pivotably connected at a rear pivot location.
A method of guiding a tonearm to track in a linear manner comprising:
- applying pressure against a stylus of the tonearm;
- and
- moving a joint member as a result of the pressure, the joint member being movably connected to a guiding slot having a nonlinear configuration and the joint member being movably connected to a slidable pivot base to which the tonearm is pivotably connected.
