  • Patent number: 8582800
    Abstract: A speaker includes a frame, a diaphragm disposed in a top end of the frame of the speaker and a bobbin disposed below the diaphragm. A voice coil is wound around a bottom end of the bobbin and a magnetic member, which has a groove in which the bottom end of the bobbin around which the voice coil is wound, is inserted and reciprocated in a straight line upward and downward. A central pillar is fixed to the magnetic member at a center of the bobbin and extends parallel to the movement of the bobbin. A damper supports an inner circumferential surface of the bobbin from the central pillar. The damper additionally supports an outer circumferential surface of the bobbin, from the frame, so as to allow the bobbin to reciprocate in a straight line. This results in minimization of wobble and distortion, so that accurate sound is generated.
