Patents by Inventor Teruo Yoshinari

Teruo Yoshinari has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6954016
    Abstract: An improved vibrating actuator for notifying the user of a call upon signal arrival by any of a buzzer, a speech and a vibration, and a power supply mechanism thereof. The device has high impact resistance by a magnetic yoke having a flange, a damper material is provided between an oscillation plate and a cover to prevent generation of noise, and a hole is provided in the cover to change acoustic characteristics as required within the same frequency band. As a power supply mechanism for ensuring electrical connection, a projecting electrical connection terminal is provided on the actuator side, and a conductive material touching with the electrical connection terminal is provided as a power supply terminal electrically connected to a power supply section of a circuit board.

  • Patent number: 6917270
    Abstract: An improved electromagnetic actuator having a coil (10) on which a current is impressed, a magnet (20) that forms a magnetic circuit across a magnetic gap (G) with a magnet yoke (21), and having a diaphragm (11) that vibrates when a high-frequency current is impressed, and a vibration plate (22) that vibrates when a low-frequency current is impressed, with these parts enclosed within a basket (3) and the coil (10) placed within the magnetic gap (G). As one invention, a radial array of magnets, a vibration plate with a double-suspension structure, and a bottom plate of magnetic shielding material are placed in the basket to suppress the leakage of magnetic flux.
