  • Patent number: 8520882
    Abstract: A speaker terminal mount structure has a frame having a slit, and a terminal supported by the frame when inserted into the slit. The slit has a shape including two first side support sections, and at least one second side support section abutting on a second surface and positioned on an inner side of a region sandwiched between the two first side support sections when viewed from a direction in which the terminal is inserted. Assuming that a first virtual straight line is formed by connecting the two first side support sections, and a second virtual straight line extends in parallel to the first straight line at a distance smaller than a thickness of the terminal from the first straight line in a first direction, the second side support section is positioned in a second direction with respect to the second straight line.

  • Patent number: 8130976
    Abstract: A sound system which has, for example, a radio, a cassette and a CD player is usually already installed in cars as standard or as an option. In addition, a better sound system includes a box system which has a tweeter and a woofer. In order to provide a speaker box which is suitable particularly for dispensing frequencies below 150 Hz and at the same time has neat pulses accompanied at the same time by little distortion, pulse dynamics and is highly effective, a sound transducer (10) is introduced into the supporting structure of the vehicle. This takes place in such a manner that subcompartments which are separated from each other adjoin each of its two membrane sides. In this case, the two subcompartments of the speaker box are formed by at least two elements (2, 3, 4) of the supporting structure of the vehicle (1).

  • Publication number: 20110182462
    Abstract: An electromagnetically-shielded speaker (or microphone) system for generating acoustic sounds (or electric signals) based upon electric signals (or acoustic sounds) supplied thereto while minimizing irradiation of undesirable electromagnetic waves. While Various speaker systems can be used, each system has at least one source for emitting the undesirable waves and at least one counter member for emitting counter electromagnetic waves capable of canceling at least a substantial portion of the undesirable waves due to their phase characteristics. The system has at least one electric and/or magnetic shields capable of shielding and/or terminating electric waves and magnetic waves of the undesirable waves, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20040005072
    Abstract: A bulb type speaker structure mainly comprises a speaker, a circuit board, and a case body. Said circuit board is lodged inside of a housing of said case body. Leads connect an inside conductor and an outside one of a joint of said case body to an AD adaptor of said circuit board respectively. Said speaker is set in the remaining space inside said housing and connected to an amplification circuit of said circuit board with leads. A safeguard combined to the opening of said housing can seal and form the bulb type speaker structure. Such bulb type speaker can be easily connected with a bulb holder through the joint of said case body so as to perform its facility and maneuverability of installation without additional stands.
