  • Patent number: 10448169
    Abstract: A sound producing device includes a diaphragm, an armature extending parallel to the diaphragm, a coil having a wire wound around the armature in multiple turns, multiple magnets facing the armature, a yoke supporting the multiple magnets, a transmitting body configured to transmit a vibration of the armature to the diaphragm, a driving-side frame on which the armature, the coil, and the yoke supporting the multiple magnets are mounted, and a vibration-side frame including an opening in which the diaphragm is vibratably supported. The driving-side frame and the vibration-side frame are placed one over the other.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180184210
    Abstract: A magnetic field generation unit, including an upper yoke, a lower yoke, and side yokes, is mounted on a frame. An upper magnet is fixed to the upper yoke, and a lower magnet is fixed to the lower yoke. The magnetic field generation unit is fixed by being butted against a driving end mounting surface of the frame. An armature has a folded part and a base end part, and the base end part is fixed to the driving end mounting surface. By assembling each member on the frame, mutual positional relationships can be determined with a high accuracy.
