| 20100027833 | SPEAKER UNIT - In the speaker device, a casing and a magnetic circuit are arranged to confront each other, and a vibration body is arranged between them. The outer circumferential part of the vibration body is supported by the casing. A supporting member passes through the inside of the vibrating body and extends from the casing to the magnetic circuit. Since the supporting member for supporting the magnetic circuit passes the inside of the vibration body, it is not necessary to provide a member such as a frame for supporting the magnetic circuit from outside of the vibration body. Therefore, there is no obstacle such as a frame in a propagating direction of the sound wave generated by the vibration body, and hence the non-directivity can be ensured. | 02-04-2010 |

The speaker device includes a vibration body including a damper and a voice coil bobbin (bobbin), and a magnetic circuit having a plate. The damper has a first member arranged opposite the plate, and a second member projecting on a side of the plate from the first member. The first member has a movable part elastically supporting the bobbin. The movable part is a flat plate, and behaves with respect to a bent part provided between the movable part and the second member with movement of the bobbin in an acoustic radiation direction and reverse. Therefore, when a constant force is given to the damper via the voice coil, a displacement of the damper with respect to a rest position can be substantially similar in such a case that the damper behaves in the acoustic radiation direction and the reverse. | 03-04-2010 |
