  • Patent number: 8934659
    Abstract: The invention relates to a moving part for an electro-dynamic transducer, including at least one mandrel supporting a winding of at least one coiled wire. The mandrel includes at least one first element rigidly connected inside at least one second element for guiding the moving part inside the transducer. The first element has a winding support for the coiled wire so that the coil is located inside the mandrel, as well as vibration transmitter, such as a diaphragm, the vibration being generated by the movement of the coil induced by the flow of current in the coil wire. The invention also relates to an electro-dynamic transducer including such a moving part.

  • Patent number: 8055010
    Abstract: A magnetic structure generating a magnetic field for an ironless motor of an electrodynamic loudspeaker having a mobile coil, wherein the magnetic structure generates a magnetic field in a gap in which the coil is arranged. The magnetic structure includes of a stack of three magnets corresponding to one intermediate magnet and two top and bottom covering magnets, the magnets forming a straight gap border and being located side by side, the intermediate magnet having a radial magnetic polarization, the covering magnets having identical magnetic polarizations and remanent magnetizations. The covering magnets have a radial or axial magnetic polarization. When magnetic polarization of the covering magnets is radial, remanent magnetization of each covering magnet is higher than remanent magnetization of the intermediate magnet, and when magnetic polarization of the covering magnets is axial, remanent magnetization of each covering magnet is lower than remanent magnetization of the intermediate magnet.
