Patent number: 7711131Abstract: An electric-acoustic transducer/housing assembly includes an electric-acoustic transducer and a housing within which the electric-acoustic transducer is arranged. The electric-acoustic transducer includes a casing, a first and second vibratory plates transversely mounted within the casing, and an exciter disposed between the first and second vibratory plates and operated to vibrate the first and second vibratory plates. The first vibratory plate cooperates with the exciter to define a first inner chamber therebetween. A sound pipe extends outwardly from the casing and is adapted to allow the first inner chamber to be communicated with the outside of the housing. The second vibratory plate cooperates with the exciter to define a second inner chamber therebetween. The casing has a through sound hole through which the second inner chamber is communicated with the outside of the casing. The sound pipe is kept out of communication with the through sound hole.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2005Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Citizen Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masahito Furuya

Publication number: 20090003644Abstract: An electroacoustic transducer includes a magnetic circuit unit that forms a magnetic gap, a voice coil inserted into the magnetic gap, and a diaphragm to which the voice coil is connected. The diaphragm has a central portion having an outer peripheral edge and an annular portion disposed underneath the central portion. The annular portion has an outer peripheral edge corresponding to the outer peripheral edge of the central portion, and an inner peripheral edge secured to the magnetic circuit unit. The diaphragm further has a joint portion formed at the outer peripheral edges of the central and annular portions, and the outer peripheral edges are joined together. The voice coil is disposed underneath the central portion of the diaphragm and joined to the joint portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2008Publication date: January 1, 2009Inventor: Masahito Furuya

Publication number: 20060159296Abstract: A stereo speaker system includes a pair of speakers. Each of the speakers includes a frame, a yoke, a diaphragm and a printed circuit board. At least one of the frame, the yoke, the diaphragm and the printed circuit board of one of the speakers is unitarily interconnected to at least corresponding one of the frame, the yoke, the diaphragm and the printed circuit board of the other speaker. This unitary structure reduces the number of required parts and facilitates assembly of the stereo speaker system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2005Publication date: July 20, 2006Inventors: Takashi Kobayashi, Masahito Furuya
