Patent number: 10638232Abstract: An electro-acoustic driver includes a diaphragm formed of a compliant material, a bobbin configured to hold a winding of an electrical conductor and a housing having a housing axis that is substantially coaxial with the bobbin. The diaphragm is fixed to one end of the housing and has a substantially planar shape when the diaphragm is at rest. A stiffening element is fixed to an inner region of a surface of the diaphragm. A motion of the bobbin along a bobbin axis generates a movement of the inner region of the diaphragm to thereby generate an acoustic signal that propagates from the diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Adam Sears, Christopher A. Pare, Brock N. Jacobites, Andrew D. Munro, Thomas Landemaine, Nicholas John Joseph, Marek Kawka, Prateek Nath

Patent number: 10595130Abstract: A speaker includes spacers that are disposed between a front end portion of a top yoke, which serves as a first member, and a back end portion of a back portion of a frame, which serves as a second member, to form a gap that defines an air passage. When a bobbin and a vibrating plate vibrate in a front-back direction, an airflow through the air passage, which faces a voice coil, is formed between the space around a magnetic gap and the outside. Accordingly, the voice coil is cooled over the entire circumference thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: ALPINE ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventor: Kei Tanabe
