Patent number: 11546696Abstract: A method of forming a device having a compliant member includes creating a membrane having one or more elastomeric layers which are at least partially cured. Another elastomeric layer is provided on the membrane in an uncured state. At least one of a bobbin and a housing are positioned so that an end of the bobbin or housing, or the ends of both the bobbin and housing, extend at least partially into the uncured elastomeric layer. The uncured elastomeric layer is then cured to secure it to the membrane and to the housing or bobbin, or both the housing and bobbin. The method substantially reduces or eliminates the formation of holes that can form during fabrication or use of the device.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2019Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Wit Bushko, Thomas Landemaine, Prateek Nath

Publication number: 20200213743Abstract: An electro-acoustic driver includes a diaphragm formed of a compliant material, a bobbin configured to hold a winding of an electrical conductor and a housing having a housing axis that is substantially coaxial with the bobbin. The diaphragm is fixed to one end of the housing and a stiffening element is fixed to an inner region of a surface of the diaphragm. A motion of the bobbin along a bobbin axis generates a movement of the inner region of the diaphragm to thereby generate an acoustic signal that propagates from the diaphragm.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2020Publication date: July 2, 2020Applicant: Bose CorporationInventors: Brock N. Jacobites, Marek Kawka, Thomas Landemaine, Nicholas John Joseph, Andrew D. Munro, Adam Sears, Prateek Nath, Christopher A. Pare
