Abstract: A speaker device includes a vibration system having a frame and a magnetic circuit. The frame has a magnetic circuit housing unit, an outer peripheral portion having an annular shape arranged on the outer side thereof, and multiple arm parts connecting the magnetic circuit housing unit and outer peripheral portion. Plural flat surfaces to which a cushion is attached are formed on an upper surface of the outer peripheral portion and a lower surface thereof. Each of the flat surfaces on the upper surface of the outer peripheral portion and each of the flat surfaces on the lower surfaces are connected by a corresponding connecting part. The plural flat surfaces to which the cushion member is attached are formed between the outer peripheral wall of the outer peripheral portion and the inner peripheral wall thereof, rather than the outer side of the outer peripheral wall of the outer peripheral portion.

Abstract: Method of manufacturing a metal gasket including a base plate having at least fluid passage holes and circular beads surrounding the fluid passage holes, the base plate being formed by providing a rubber coating layer on a surface of a metal plate with a base coat and an adhesive interposed therebetween. A metal plate having low-temperature age-hardening characteristics is used as the metal plate of the base plate. After the base coat is applied to the metal plate and dried at a temperature lower than a low aging temperature of the metal plate, press-working of the circular beads is performed on the metal plate. Thereafter, the metal plate is age-hardened while burning the base coat at the low aging temperature of the metal plate. A metal gasket having excellent durability and circular beads which are hardly broken even when crushed, is obtained.

Abstract: A lawn mower comprises a power source for rotatably driving an output shaft, a housing having an interior space having a generally spiral-shaped portion, and a cutting blade disposed in the interior space of the housing and connected to the output shaft for rotation therewith to cut grass. The rotating cutting blade coacts with the spiral-shaped portion of the interior space to generate a swirling air flow that causes the cut grass to swirl within the interior space. A grass discharge passage communicates with the interior space of the housing and discharges therethrough grass cut by the cutting blade and swirling within the interior space of the housing. A pivotal shutter is pivoted about a generally vertical axis by manual operation of a control member to open and close the grass discharge passage. The pivotal shutter comprises a pivotal shaft and a unitary shutter member mounted on the pivotal shaft to undergo pivotal movement therewith for opening and closing the grass discharge passage.

Abstract: A speaker device includes a magnetic circuit system and a vibration system including a frame having a magnetic circuit housing unit, an annular-shaped outer peripheral portion, and plural arm parts connecting the magnetic circuit housing unit and outer peripheral portion. An outer peripheral portion of a damper is mounted of a damper mounting. A rib upwardly standing is provided at the outer peripheral portion of an upper surface of the damper mounting part. The height of the vicinity of the connecting part between the rib and the arm part is set larger than the height of the rib corresponding to an area other than the vicinity, and thus the height of the rib is partly different. By reflecting this, the part of the rib corresponding to the connecting part between the rib and the arm part is formed to have a mountain shape when observed from the side.
