  • Publication number: 20170149321
    Abstract: The vibration electricity generation device comprises a fixed unit and a movable unit supported on the fixed unit via a coil spring. The movable unit is configured to vibrate against resilient force of the coil spring thereby generating induced electromotive force. The coil spring is coupled to the movable unit in a position apart from the center position of the movable unit with respect to the vibration direction toward the opposite side of the position where the coil spring is coupled to the fixed unit. Even in the case the vibration electricity generation device is reduced in size with respect to the vibration direction, the length of the coil spring can be extended, thereby enhancing selection freedom of vibration frequency.

  • Publication number: 20030202673
    Abstract: A dynamic electroacoustic transducer adapted to be surface-mounted on a printed circuit board comprises a diaphragm, a synthetic resin frame for supporting the diaphragm at the periphery thereof, a surface-mounting terminal member mounted on the frame, and a synthetic resin cover with a sound emitting hole fixed to the frame so as to cover the diaphragm. Since the frame and the cover are made of synthetic resin of lower heat conductivity, the electroacoustic transducer is allowed to be subject to reflow soldering when it is surface-mounted on a printed circuit board without a damage to the diaphragm and the magnet.
