  • Publication number: 20120281861
    Abstract: A vibration diaphragm for a speaker has a spherical bowl section, an annular intervening section and an annular outer section. The spherical bowl section has a top and a spherical cavity defined in the top. The annular intervening section is formed on and protrudes radially outward from the spherical bowl section. A bending line is formed on a boundary between the spherical bowl section and the annular intervening section. An annular outer section is formed on and protrudes radially from the annular intervening section and extends obliquely outward in a direction along which the cavity is sunk, wherein a bending line is formed on a boundary between the annular intervening section and the annular outer section, and an obtuse angle is defined between the annular intervening section and annular outer section.

  • Publication number: 20100166249
    Abstract: A dual loop speaker having a low profile is disclosed to include a bracket holding a magnet and a U-yoke around the magnet, a damper connected between the bracket and the U-yoke, a cone paper connected between the bracket and the damper and having an inside step, a dust cover bonded to the inside step of the cone paper, a sound coil mounted inside the dust cover and sleeved onto the magnet with the periphery thereof connected to the dust cover, and a tweeter mounted inside the sound coil. When electric current is connected to the sound coil to excite the magnet, the sound coil is cause to vibrate the cone paper and the damper, and the vibration of the cone paper causes sound. Because the sound coil is provided above the cone paper, the height of the speaker is minimized.
