Patent number: 9659580Abstract: A moving-magnet type pickup cartridge is disclosed, which includes a cantilever, a stylus chip attached to a front end part in a longitudinal direction of the cantilever, a damper disposed at a base end part in the longitudinal direction of the cantilever and configured to support the cantilever in a swingable manner, a magnet disposed in the longitudinal direction of the cantilever and immediately above the stylus chip at the front end part of the cantilever, and configured to vibrate with vibration of the stylus chip, and a yoke formed in a U-shape, having generating coils being wound thereon, and having magnetic poles at both leg parts thereof being disposed to face the magnet. With this configuration, there is provided a moving-magnet type pickup cartridge enables not only to ensure a large output signal but also to obtain a faithfully reproduced sound with little distortion.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA AUDIO-TECHNICAInventor: Mitsuo Miyata

Patent number: 9497548Abstract: Provided are a vibration unit which includes a pair of right and left coils that vibrate in response to vibration of a stylus attached to a cantilever and a magnetic circuit which includes a magnet and a pair of yokes and forms a magnetic path. The coils to be disposed in a gap between the pair of yokes are flat coils having perfect circular shapes, and V-shaped notches are formed on opposing surfaces, with the coils interposed therebetween, of the pair of yokes 4. An intersection angle of the V-shaped notch is set to be an angle to allow channel separation between right and left output signals to be obtained by the pair of coils to be equal to or larger than 20 db.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA AUDIO-TECHNICAInventor: Mitsuo Miyata

Patent number: 8098873Abstract: In headphones in which headphone units are worn on the head via a headband having a predetermined urging force, a substantially constant urging force is always obtained without being influenced by a difference in width and shape of the user's head. In headphones 100 including a headphone unit 200 in which an electroacoustic transducer is incorporated in a housing 210; and a head wearing means (for example, a headband 110) for supporting the headphone unit 200 via a hanger member, the headphone unit 200 being held at the ear position of the head in a state of being urged by the head wearing means, the hanger member is a support frame 120 arranged around the housing 210 of the headphone unit 200, and the headphone unit 200 is supported on the support frame 120 via a plurality of constant force spiral springs 130.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2007Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Audio-TechnicaInventors: Okitsugu Furuya, Yosuke Sato, Mitsuo Miyata

Patent number: 7418786Abstract: A marking device is disclosed which efficiently reduces damage affecting the gimbal mechanism even when such is used under sever conditions and is dropped from a high position. A marking device has a support mounted inside a housing, a light source unit holder swingably suspended by the support through a gimbal mechanism, and a light source unit mounted on the light source unit holder so as to diffuse a light flux only in a single direction to radiate a line of light. The support is coupled with said housing 1 through dampers with upper portion and lower portion formed of an impact absorber, and when outside impact is applied, the damper absorbs impact energy to prevent the impact force from being transmitting to the support.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2006Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Audio-TechnicaInventor: Mitsuo Miyata

Publication number: 20070113745Abstract: It is an object to provide a marking device which efficiently reduces damage affecting the gimbal mechanism even when it is used under sever conditions and it is dropped from the high location. A marking device has a support 2 mounted inside a housing 1, a light source unit holder swingably suspended by the support 2 through a gimbal mechanism 3, and a light source unit 5, 6 mounted on this light source unit holder 4 so as to diffuse a light flux only in a single direction to radiate line light. The support 2 is coupled with said housing 1 through dampers 7, 8 with upper portion and lower portion formed of impact absorber, and when outside impact is applied, the damper absorbs impact energy to prevent the impact force from transmitting to the support 2.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2006Publication date: May 24, 2007Applicant: Kabushiki Kaisha Audio-TechnicaInventor: Mitsuo Miyata
