Electromagnetic induction coil antenna
First Claim
1. An electromagnetic induction coil device for cooperating with a primary induction coil system, comprising:
- an electromagnetic coil assembly including four coils each having a first end connected to the first end of each of the four coils at a center junction and a second end, each coil having the same winding direction and extending outwardly from said center junction along the lines from the center of a regular tetrahedron to each of the four apexes thereof to be uniformly spatially arranged;
a phase selector including a regular tetrahedron shaped insulating block having four conduits cut therethrough along the lines from the center junction of the regular tetrahedron thereof to the four apexes thereof;
a quantity of electrically conductive liquid within said conduits;
four insulating covers sealing the ends of said conduits, each cover having two terminals therethrough to cause such terminals to be shorted together by contact with the electrically conductive liquid when such terminals are below said insulating block center junction, said conduits being positioned so that each conduit thereof extends in parallel with a corresponding coil of said coil assembly;
means connecting the ends of each coil to the terminals of the correspondingly extending one of said conduits; and
a pair of output terminals connected across the coil assembly for providing as an output signal positive phase component output signals induced in at least one of said coils.

Abstract
The invention relates to an electromagnetic induction coil or antenna device embedded in hearing aids or radio sets for receiving sound signals or carrier signals generated by a primary electromagnetic induction coil which is laid down in the room. A plurality of coils each one end of which is commonly connected and each other end of which extends outwardly from the one end so as to be uniformly arranged in a space and a phase selector connected to the coils operates, as a mercury switch, to pick up positive phase component output signals which are induced in at least any of the coils. The coils and the phase selector are fixedly built in the body of a hearing aid, etc. so that the corresponding coil and conduit in which a suitable quantity of mercury is charged may be paralleled to each other and so on, thereby to obtain a constant output sound pressure irrespective of the posture of a person wearing a hearing aid or enjoying television.
