  • Publication number: 20120207321
    Abstract: A speaker device includes a static part, a driving part and a vibrating body. The vibrating body includes a plurality of diaphragms supported by the static part. A vibration direction converter part is provided between a first diaphragm and a second diaphragm facing each other in a plurality of the diaphragms, and connects the first diaphragm with the second diaphragm such that the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm synchronously move toward and away from each other. A part of the vibration direction converter part disposed in the proximity of the static part is supported by the static part, and a part of the vibration direction converter part disposed in the proximity of the driving part is supported by the driving part.

  • Publication number: 20120051557
    Abstract: To provide a thin speaker device a voice coil itself is made thin and vibration of the voice coil is efficiently transmitted to a diaphragm. The voice coil is used for a speaker device in which the vibration in one axial direction of the voice coil is transmitted to the diaphragm via a rigid vibration direction converter part, and the diaphragm is vibrated in a direction different from the one axial direction. The voice coil is formed with planarly and annularly wound conducting member and has rigidity at least in the vibration direction along the planar direction.

  • Publication number: 20110305355
    Abstract: A vibration direction converter part for speaker device direction converting a vibration of a voice coil supporting part supporting a voice coil, and vibrating a diaphragm in the direction different from the direction of the vibration of the voice coil supporting part, has a rigid link part angle-variably and obliquely disposed between the voice coil supporting part and the diaphragm, and hinge parts formed at both end parts of the link part. The hinge part is formed with a bendable continuous member continuing between both side parts across the hinge part.
