Publication number: 20080018203Abstract: In order to simultaneously realize both improvements of the acoustic performance of a bimorph piezoelectric electroacoustic transducing device and the productivity, in a bimorph piezoelectric vibrator 10 in which a disk-like first piezoelectric element 12 is bonded to a first principal surface 11a of a metal plate 11, and a disk-like second piezoelectric element 13 is bonded to a second principal surface 11b of the metal plate 11, the diameter R1 of the first piezoelectric element 12 is different from the diameter R2 of the second piezoelectric element 13. Furthermore, the diameter R2 of the second piezoelectric element 13 is made smaller than the diameter R1 of the first disk-like piezoelectric element 12, and a lead-wire soldering portion 14 is ensured on the second principal surface 11b of the metal plate 11 which is in the periphery of the second piezoelectric element 13.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2007Publication date: January 24, 2008Applicant: Hosiden CorporationInventors: Satoru Fujiwara, Yuka Nagata

Publication number: 20060093165Abstract: A flat panel speaker has a construction in which an actuator 10 vibrates a panel to radiate sound, the panel being held at a peripheral portion thereof on a frame by gaskets, wherein the gasket provided at a position opposite from a position at which the actuator is placed has a higher hardness than that of the gasket provided at another position. The side on which the gasket having the higher hardness is placed is a substantially fixed end to facilitate vibration of the panel, thereby improving sound quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2005Publication date: May 4, 2006Inventors: Tomohiko Kamimura, Satoru Fujiwara, Eiki Fujii

Patent number: 6526635Abstract: A cord clip for fastening a cord attached to e.g. an earphone to an object such as a clothes is disclosed. The cord clip includes a clipping portion for clamping the object and a cord holding portion for holding the cord. The clipping portion is formed by a first annular portion having a discontinuity at a part thereof. The clipping portion is capable of clamping the object at a clamping portion thereof provided by a narrow gap formed by the discontinuity of the first annular portion by means of an elastic resilient force of the first annular portion. The cord holding portion is formed by a second annular portion having a discontinuity at a part thereof. The cord holding portion is capable of holding the cord therein by means of an elastic resilient force of the second annular portion. This elastic resilient force of the second annular portion is independent of that of the first annular portion. The first annular portion and the second annular portion are formed integrally in a single member.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2001Date of Patent: March 4, 2003Assignee: Hosiden CorporationInventors: Koji Nasu, Satoru Fujiwara
