  • Patent number: 8965034
    Abstract: [Problems] To provide a multifunction vibration actuator which has flat rising and falling frequency characteristic at the time of generation of bodily sensation vibration and which is stable for an input signal. [Means for Solving Problems] Flat frequency characteristics can be obtained by using a two-fold rotational symmetry frame type suspension, and miniaturization of the whole multifunction vibration actuator can be made by the user of the frame type suspension. With regard to the frame type suspension, use of protruded configuration of corner parts ensures the effect of absorption of deflection of the suspension.

  • Publication number: 20140185839
    Abstract: Provided is a multi-functional type vibration actuator capable of stabilizing a vibration characteristic and improving variation in a resonance frequency by matching vibration waveforms when increasing/reducing an input signal frequency, by using a frame-shaped suspension of a polygonal shape. A spring characteristic of the frame-shaped suspension may be improved by forming J-shaped structures which is formed by connecting an extension portion and an arc, on all corner portions of the frame-shaped suspension of the polygonal shape, whereby reducing variation in a vibration waveform and a resonance frequency when sensible vibration is generated.
