Patent number: 7570776Abstract: A speaker device has a connecting member on which a groove capable of accumulating a constant amount of adhesive is formed. The groove is in the vicinity of a lower end of an outer peripheral wall of a cylindrical portion, and is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion along a circumferential direction. A bottom surface of an inner peripheral edge portion of a conductive damper disposed on an upper side in plural dampers is fixed to the connecting member with adhesive applied to the groove. The adhesive is applied between the upper surface of the inner peripheral edge portion of the conductive damper and the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion. Thus, the conductive damper, which is sandwiched by the adhesive applied to the groove and the adhesive applied to the upper surface of the conductive damper, is fixed to the connecting member.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2005Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignees: Pioneer Corporation, Tohoku Pioneer CorporationInventor: Tomoyuki Watanabe

Patent number: 7538897Abstract: A print control device including an acquisition unit for acquiring print conditions in response to a print request, a fixing unit for fixing a frequency of determining a print cancel based on the print conditions acquired by the acquisition unit, and a determining unit for determining whether a print cancel command is issued as the data processing unit generates and/or transfers print data at the frequency fixed by the fixing unit. The print control device thus determines the presence or absence of a print cancel command at an appropriate frequency under an environment that permits no multitasking. A response process from the reception of the print cancel command to the execution of a cancel operation becomes uniform, resulting in unnecessary waiting time and useless printing actions.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2003Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Nobuo Onuma, Tomoyuki Watanabe

Patent number: 7515727Abstract: A speaker device includes a terminal member, a connecting member, a conductive damper and a diaphragm. The connecting member has a terminal mounting part. The terminal mounting part has a projecting part and a connecting part. The connecting member has a hole in its upper end portion and a fixing part at its lower end portion. The terminal member is mounted to the terminal mounting part. At this time, the projecting part is inserted into the hole, and the fixing part is inserted into a groove. Thereby, at positions of two spots, the terminal member is physically fixed to the connecting member. The connecting part is connected to the conductive member of the conductive damper. Thus, a soldering operation of the connecting part and the conductive member can be performed easily. Then soldering is performed for the terminal member, a lead wire of a voice coil and the conductive member.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2005Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignees: Pioneer Corporation, Tohoku Pioneer CorporationInventor: Tomoyuki Watanabe

Patent number: 7515729Abstract: A speaker device includes a terminal member, a connecting member and a voice coil. The connecting member has a terminal mounting part, a flat surface and a recessed portion. The terminal member is mounted to the terminal mounting part. On the flat surface, an inner peripheral edge portion of a diaphragm is mounted via an adhesive. A lead wire drawn from the voice coil is drawn along an outer peripheral wall of the voice coil bobbin and inside the recessed portion to be electrically connected to a connecting part of the terminal member. Thus, the lead wire is not sandwiched by the flat surface and the diaphragm. Thereby, at the time of driving the speaker device, pressure is not given to the lead wire drawn into the recessed portion from the diaphragm and the connecting member. The cut of the lead wire can be thus prevented.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2005Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignees: Pioneer Corporation, Tohoku Pioneer CorporationInventor: Tomoyuki Watanabe

Patent number: 7499563Abstract: In a speaker device, when an excessive driving signal larger than a withstand input is inputted to a voice coil, a voice coil bobbin moves with large magnitude. When the voice coil bobbin largely moves on a side opposite to a sound emitting side (downward), each component of the speaker device collides with each other and a large abnormal sound occurs. Therefore, a connecting member and a pot type yoke are designed to collide with each other via a buffer member in an area E1, for example, when the voice coil moves downward with the large magnitude. Namely, the buffer member is attached on a bottom surface of a bent portion of the connecting member, opposite to an upper surface of a cylindrical portion of the pot type yoke, in a circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2005Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignees: Pioneer Corporation, Tohoku Pioneer CorporationInventor: Tomoyuki Watanabe
