Patent number: 7210213Abstract: A speaker collective substrate with component insertion hole sections and electrode sections has a plurality of speaker forming areas. An electrical speaker section, which comprises a magnetic circuit section and a vibration section, is inserted into each of the component insertion hole sections. Then, a collective lid, in which a plurality of lids have been formed for sealing the electrical speaker sections, is attached onto the speaker collective substrate. After that, the speaker collective substrate and the collective lid are divided into individual speaker forming areas along partition lines extending in the directions of the X and Y axes to form individual dynamic speakers. Thus, it is possible to mass-produce dynamic speakers with uniform quality through a collectively manufacturing process.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2004Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Citizen Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazumi Miyamoto, Naoki Miura
