Abstract

A production method for an electroacoustic transducer diaphragm includes producing an adhered sheet by adhering a sheet member on a surface of a wooden sheet having a thickness of from 0.01 mm to 3 mm, and the sheet member being made of a material different from the wooden sheet, immersing the adhered sheet into one of a solution including 0.01-1 wt % of a penetrating agent and a solution including 0.01-1 wt % of penetrating agent and 0.01-20 wt % of a wetting agent, and molding the adhered sheet obtained by the immersing step so that the immersed adhered sheet has a predetermined shape of the electroacoustic transducer diaphragm.

Claims (17)

1. A production method for an electroacoustic transducer diaphragm, comprising:

a producing step of producing an adhered sheet by adhering a sheet member on a surface of a wooden sheet having a thickness of from 0.01 mm to 3 mm, and the sheet member being made of a material different from the wooden sheet;

an immersing step of immersing the adhered sheet into one of a solution including 0.01-1 wt % of a penetrating agent and a solution including 0.01-1 wt % of the penetrating agent and 0.01-20 wt % of a wetting agent; and

a first hot press molding step of molding an adhered sheet obtained by the immersing step so that the immersed adhered sheet has a predetermined shape of the electroacoustic transducer diaphragm, wherein

the penetrating agent is one of sodium butyl naphthalene sulfonate, sodium di(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, sodium lauryl sulfate, and a combination thereof;

the wetting agent is one of a of monovalent alcohol, dihydric alcohol, triatomic alcohol, ethylene glycol, butyl glycol, propyl glycol, sugars, mucopolysaccharides, sugar alcohols, water-soluble proteins and a combination thereof; and

the solution contains 0.05-0.1 wt % of sodium di(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solution further contains 5 wt % of ethylene glycol.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solution further contains 10 wt % of ethyl alcohol.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solution further contains 5 wt % of glucose.

5. A production method for an electroacoustic transducer diaphragm, comprising:

a producing step of producing an adhered sheet by adhering a sheet member on a surface of a wooden sheet having a thickness of from 0.01 mm to 3 mm, and the sheet member being made of a material different from the wooden sheet;

an immersing step of immersing the adhered sheet into one of a solution including 0.01-1 wt % of a penetrating agent and a solution including 0.01-1 wt % of the penetrating agent and 0.01-20 wt % of a wetting agent; and

a first hot press molding step of molding an adhered sheet obtained by the immersing step so that the immersed adhered sheet has a predetermined shape of the electroacoustic transducer diaphragm, wherein

the penetrating agent is one of sodium butyl naphthalene sulfonate, sodium di(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, sodium lauryl sulfate, and a combination thereof;

the wetting agent is one of a of monovalent alcohol, dihydric alcohol, triatomic alcohol, ethylene glycol, butyl glycol, propyl glycol, sugars, mucopolysaccharides, sugar alcohols, water-soluble proteins and a combination thereof; and

the solution contains 0.02 wt % of sodium lauryl sulfate and 5 wt % of glucose.
