  • Patent number: 10477290
    Abstract: A loudspeaker device includes a loudspeaker unit and an enclosure. The loudspeaker unit outputs sounds mainly in a first direction, upon receiving an electric signal. The enclosure is configured with at least a part of an interior member of a movable-body device, and secures and accommodates the loudspeaker unit in the inside of the enclosure. The interior member includes a body part, and an accommodation part that accommodates the loudspeaker unit therein and is formed integrally with the body part. The accommodation part is larger in dimension along the first direction than the body part.

  • Patent number: 10375478
    Abstract: A loudspeaker diaphragm includes a cone having a curved surface from the outer to the inner periphery, and an annular edge of which inner peripheral part is bonded to the front side of the outer peripheral part of the cone. When seen from the front, the outer periphery of the cone is defined by smooth connection of three larger-diameter parts tangent to a first circle with a larger diameter, and three smaller-diameter parts each located between adjacent two of the three larger-diameter parts and tangent to a second circle with a smaller diameter. In the cone, a shape defined by connecting together points at the same position on the central axis is more circular as the points approach the inner periphery from the outer periphery. The inner periphery of the edge has a smaller radius than the second circle.

  • Patent number: 9438997
    Abstract: A diaphragm includes a paper layer and a skin layer. The paper layer includes natural fibers and synthetic fibers formed of thermoplastic resin. The paper layer is formed by mixing the natural fibers and the synthetic fibers in water, and thinly spreading a resultant mixture on a mesh. The skin layer is formed on one surface of the paper layer. Note here that the skin layer is formed of the same resin as that of the synthetic fibers.

  • Patent number: 9173036
    Abstract: After beaten, pulp is mixed with a filler to obtain a mixture of the pulp and the filler. Additives are added to the mixture, which is made into pater and then hot-pressed. The filler content of the mixture is in the range of 20 wt % to 80 wt %. After the additives are added, a polymeric viscosity improver with high viscosity is added to produce a narrow diaphragm or a thin compact diaphragm with high aspect ratio. These diaphragms have high rigidity and a wide reproduction frequency range.

  • Patent number: 8855357
    Abstract: A diaphragm is formed of paper manufactured from a first fiber material and a second fiber material. The first fiber material is beaten to have a given freeness, and the second fiber material is made by carbonizing bamboo fiber that has been fibrillated into a microfibril state. This structure allows the second fiber material to increase a rigidity of the diaphragm and also increase an internal loss, so that sound quality of the speaker that employs this diaphragm can be improved.
