Figure 1. The cochleoid (pdf)

A plane transcendental curve whose equation in polar coordinates is \begin{equation} \rho = a\frac{\sin\varphi}{\varphi}. \end{equation}

The cochleoid has infinitely many spirals, passing through its pole and touching the polar axis (see Fig.). The pole is a singular point of infinite multiplicity. Any straight line through the pole $O$ intersects the cochleoid; the tangents to the cochleoid at these intersection points pass through the same point.

The inverse of the cochleoid with respect to the origin is the quadratrix of Hippias.
