  • Patent number: 8608177
    Abstract: A sealing system is provided which is intended to achieve an improvement in durability. A dust seal is composed of a first dust seal (100) and a second dust seal (200) which is arranged at a location nearer to an atmospheric air side than the first dust seal (100), wherein each of the first dust seal (100) and the second dust seal (200) has a seal lip formed so as to be slidable with respect to an outer peripheral surface of the shaft. The first dust seal (100) has seal lips (121, 122) made of urethane rubber, and the second dust seal (200) has only a single seal lip (221) which is made of a rubber higher in flexibility than urethane rubber, and which extends toward the atmospheric air side.

  • Patent number: 8428283
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a paper making part for a loudspeaker has freedom of adjusting a characteristic and a sound quality, and has a higher productivity. Accordingly, a fibrillating step of a paper making material is achieved by an explosive crushing step. Alternatively, the step is achieved by a mixing step of a paper making material and a liquid, a material micro-fabricating step of applying a pressure to a mixed solution obtained by the mixing step so as to pass through an orifice and thereafter run into a device wall, and a paper making step including the micro-fabricated material.

  • Patent number: 8343313
    Abstract: The production equipment of paper-made components for loudspeakers includes a mixing device, a fining device, a paper-making device, and a shape processing device. The mixing device mixes material of a paper-made component for a loudspeaker into liquid to generate mixed liquid. The fining device includes a pressure unit, an orifice, and an inner wall. The pressure unit applies pressure on the mixed liquid to cause the mixed liquid to pass through the orifice, and the mixed liquid collides against the inner wall to cause the fining device to generate fined material. The paper-making device paper-makes the fined material to generate a paper-made component. The shape processing device processes the shape of the paper-made component. This structure provides production equipment of the paper-made components for loudspeakers, which prepares material for paper-making in a short time and reduces producing time.

  • Patent number: 8199964
    Abstract: A loudspeaker of high sound quality is achieved by improving rigidity of a material used for a diaphragm, a dust cap and a sub-cone. The diaphragm, the dust cap and the sub-cone of the loudspeaker are made of a paper beaten with the material containing bamboo fibers obtained from a bamboo tree aged one year or older, of which the fibers are finely beaten to an extent of micro-fibrillated form. The diaphragm and the dust cap are also made with a beaten paper containing at least 2 wt % of “A fibers” having stems of no greater than 30 ?m in diameter, and surfaces of the stems are fibrillated into shaggy branches having diameters of 1 ?m or less.
