  • Patent number: 11361748
    Abstract: A speaker system includes a cushion body with which a person comes into contact when sitting therein, and a speaker, a front of which is covered by the cushion body. The cushion body includes: a three-dimensional mesh-like elastic part that is formed by a three-dimensionally entangled fiber and bears a load of the person; and a cover member that covers surroundings of the three-dimensional mesh-like elastic part. The cover member includes a first cover member that covers the part of the surroundings of the three-dimensional mesh-like elastic part located at the front of the speaker, and a second cover member that is a remainder of the cover member excluding the first cover member. The first cover member has a higher acoustic transmissivity than the second cover member.

  • Patent number: 9103443
    Abstract: A sealing structure for a cylindrical body has an O-ring holder in which a planar O-ring that provides a seal in the planar direction and a radial O-ring that provides a seal in the axial line direction of the cylindrical body are incorporated in the crossing direction provided at both end parts of the cylindrical body; a pressing means for pressing the O-ring holder in the axial line direction of the cylindrical body via a pressing lid; the O-ring holder is pressed against a tube sheet of the fluid chamber via the pressing lid by the pressing means to press the planar O-ring onto the tube sheet, whereby a fluid tight seal is provided between the fluid chamber and the outside; and the radial O-ring is pressed onto the outer periphery of the cylindrical body to provide a fluid tight seal between the fluid passage and the fluid chamber.

  • Patent number: 7079665
    Abstract: A loudspeaker has a magnetic circuit, a plastic frame to be coupled with the magnetic circuit, a voice coil disposed in a magnetic gap of the magnetic circuit, and a diaphragm connected with the voice coil. The frame and the magnetic circuit are coupled together by an elastic fastener provided on the frame. The frame and yoke are coupled together by fitting a plurality of elastic fasteners provided on a circle on a bottom surface of the frame with a yoke of the magnetic circuit. The elastic fastener can also be a clip section provided on a circle on the bottom surface of the frame. The frame and magnetic circuit are coupled together by the clip section and an extension provided along an outer circumference of the magnetic circuit.

  • Patent number: 6746490
    Abstract: Disclosed are a winding method and structure for stator coils in which each stator coil is wound in series around a plurality of ones of coil bobbins fitted onto each stator tooth, whereby the number of coil end portions coming out from the stator coils is reduced, thereby achieving an improvement in terms of operational efficiency and reliability. In the winding method and structure for the stator coils, each stator coil is wound continuously and in series around a plurality of ones of the coil bobbins to form a series winding stator coil body, with a pair of coil ending portions coming from the ends of the series winding stator coil body.

  • Patent number: 6710475
    Abstract: A projected board portion that is a part of a printed board is positioned externally to an outer diameter position of an annular stator, and can be connected to any of a connector and a lead wire even after resin scaling is performed. In a stator structure having a printed board according to the present invention, a projected board portion of a printed board provided to an insulating cover of an annular stator extends outward beyond an outer diameter position of the annular stator, and a connector or a lead wire can be freely selected and connected to the projected board portion.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, frame and yoke are coupled together by fitting a plurality of elastic fasteners provided on a circle on the bottom surface of the frame with a yoke of the magnetic circuit. In another exemplary embodiment, the elastic fastener is a clip section provided on a circle on the bottom surface of said frame. The frame and magnetic circuit are coupled together by the clip section and an extension provided along the outer circumference of the magnetic circuit. Despite a downsized magnetic circuit, the frame and the yoke can be coupled easily together in a loudspeaker in accordance with the present invention.

  • Patent number: 5705970
    Abstract: A motor having rotor has a good balance of inertia and a magnetic characteristic that match the specifications of the motor with which those rotors are to be used. A rare-earth containing iron-base resin-bonded magnet is molded from an iron-base magnetic powder containing a rare earth metal such as neodymium and praseodymium in powder, a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin and additive. A density and magnetic characteristic is proportionally changed by adjusting a mixing ratio of a filler powder. Specifically, when a mixing ratio of filler powder containing tungsten having a density 19.1 g/cm.sup.3 is in 13 vol % is injected, or a mixing ratio of alloy powder containing tungsten an nickel, or tungsten and chromium having a density 10.5 g/cm.sup.3 is compression-mold, its magnetic flux assume the same value as those of compression-molded Sm--Co magnets.
