  • Suspension for acoustic device
    Patent number: 9253576
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a suspension element coupling a first rigid element to a second rigid element such that the first rigid element is movable in a reciprocating manner relative to the second rigid element. The suspension element includes radial features, some of which may have radial segments of opposite concavity. The segments with opposite concavity provide added stiffness in the primary axis of vibration and may contribute to a more symmetrical force-deflection relationship.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2013
    Date of Patent: February 2, 2016
    Assignee: Bose Corporation
    Inventors: Zachariah E. Tripp, Daniel J. Sheehan, Timothy Benjamin Stonelake
