Details
Inventors: Fresard, Marcel;
Assignee: Multiphonie S.A. (Geneva, CH)
Primary Examiner: Rubinson; Gene Z.
Assistant Examiner: Schroeder; L. C.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Groff, Jr.; Emory L.

The electroacoustic transducer comprises an oscillating element (6, 7) holding a coil (8), the oscillating element (6, 7) being connected to a magnet frame (11-17) by an elastomer ring (10'). The magnet frame (11-17) has two magnets (14, 15) and constitutes an inertial mass. The oscillating element (6, 7) is intended to be attached rigidly by its base plate (6) to a panel (1) so that the sound waves are transmitted to the latter (1) which thus plays the role of a speaker diaphragm. Adjusting screws (27) make it possible to modify the characteristics of the elastomer (10') as a function of the mounting condition and the desired sound diffusion effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An electroacoustic transducer (5) comprising a magnetic frame (11-17) provided with a circular cylindrical air gap and including a bell shaped member (11), an oscillating element including a metal base plate (6), a cylindrical part (7) and a coil (8), said coil (8) mounted on said cylindrical part (7) and disposed in said air gap, said metal plate (6) provided with holes (20) to permit attachment of said oscillating element to a panel (1) by screw means, said magnetic frame (11-17) constituting an inertial mass and connected to said base plate by means of an elastomer member (10), characterized in that said elastomer member (10) comprises a ring which is connected in an air tight, dust free manner to said magnetic frame and to said metal plate (6), said ring including a pair of annular ribs (18,19), one of said ribs (18) engaged in a peripheral groove in said magnetic frame (11-17), the other said rib (19) supporting the lower edge of said bell shaped member (11), said base plate having a groove (21) therein, the base of said ring engaged in said last mentioned groove, means (22-24) for exerting force on said elastomer member (10) in such a manner as to modify its characteristics of elasticity, in said means for exerting force on said elastomer member (10) comprising a screw (22) coaxial with said coil (8), said screw connecting said magnetic frame (11-17) to said oscillating element (6-8), the cylindrical part (7) of said oscillating element having a recess (25) therein, an elastic sleeve (24) in said recess, one end of said sleeve abutting an end wall of said recess, the head of said screw engaging the other end of said sleeve, the other end of said screw threadedly engaged in a magnet (12) of said magnetic frame, whereby adjustment of said screw increases or decreases the force on said elastic sleeve to obtain optimum conditions of diffusion of sound waves.




Description:
This invention has as its object an electroacoustic transducer comprising a magnetic frame with a circular cylindrical air gap and an oscillating element holding a coil placed in this air gap
