Abstract

A leader line of a voice coil from a conductive wire part is drawn out from a part between a diaphragm coupling part and a part disposed in the magnetic gap toward a frame in a non-contact state with a diaphragm. One end side of the second edge made of an elastic body is coupled to a part between a drawing part of the leader line on the voice coil and a part of the voice coil disposed in the magnetic gap. The other end side of the second edge is coupled to the frame. A suspension holder is integrated with the proximity of a coupling part of the second edge to the voice coil. The suspension holder is stuck to the voice coil using an adhesive. The disturbance of the movement of the voice coil can be reduced.

Claims (15)

1. A loudspeaker comprising:

a magnetic circuit having a magnetic gap;

a voice coil whose conductive wire part is disposed movably in the magnetic gap of the magnetic circuit;

a diaphragm whose part is coupled to a part of the voice coil outside the magnetic gap; and

a first edge for holding a part, which is other than a coupling part of the diaphragm to the voice coil, of the diaphragm to a frame,

wherein a leader line of the voice coil from the conductive wire part is drawn out from a part between the coupling part of the voice coil to the diaphragm and a part of the voice coil disposed in the magnetic gap toward the frame in a non-contact state with the diaphragm,

wherein one end side of a second edge made of an elastic body is coupled to a part between a drawing part of the leader line of the voice coil and the part of the voice coil disposed in the magnetic gap, and the other end side of the second edge is coupled to the frame,

wherein the second edge and the first edge have shapes projecting in opposite directions,

wherein a suspension holder is integrated with a surface on the diaphragm side near a coupling part of the second edge to the voice coil, and

wherein the suspension holder is stuck to the voice coil using an adhesive.

2. The loudspeaker of claim 1 , wherein

the coupling part of the second edge to the voice coil is thinner than a coupling part of the second edge to the frame.

3. The loudspeaker of claim 1 , wherein

the inner diameter of second edge is smaller than outer diameter of the voice coil in the coupling part in a state of free from force, and

the diameter of suspension holder is larger than the outer diameter of conductive wire of the voice coil in the magnetic gap of the magnetic circuit.
