Patent number: 6492899Abstract: An electromagnetic converter in which a mobile magnetic pole body supported by a thin spring is driven by an exciting coil. A restricting member limits movement of the spring so the spring is not deformed beyond a stress limit when the spring receives an impact. The electromagnetic converter produces a large vibration using a simple structure which can withstand an impact without increasing the strength of the spring so the weight of a mobile magnetic pole member can be increased. The restricting member is a soft elastic member and arranged either on the spring or at a location opposite the spring.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2000Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: Tokyo Parts Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tadao Yamaguchi
