Abstract

A loudspeaker includes a diaphragm, a frame, an attachment unit, and a fixing member. The frame has a front surface, a mounting surface disposed on a side opposite to the front surface, and a wall surface disposed in a standing manner from the mounting surface. And the frame holds an outer peripheral edge of the diaphragm. The attachment unit includes: a base portion having a top surface facing the mounting surface, a bottom surface on a side opposite to the top surface, a first side surface facing the wall surface, and a second side surface disposed on a side opposite to the first side surface; a first base rib projecting toward the wall surface from the first side surface; a second base rib projecting from the second side surface and extending to the top surface; and a locking portion disposed on a side near the bottom surface of the base portion. The fixing member penetrates the frame from the front surface to the mounting surface and is fixed to the base portion by screwing.

Claims (44)

1. A loudspeaker comprising:

a diaphragm;

a frame having a front surface, a mounting surface disposed on a side opposite to the front surface, and a wall surface disposed in a standing manner from the mounting surface, the frame holding an outer peripheral edge of the diaphragm;

an attachment unit including:

a base portion having a top surface facing the mounting surface, a bottom surface disposed on a side opposite to the top surface, a first side surface facing the wall surface, and a second side surface disposed on a side opposite to the first side surface;

a first base rib projecting toward the wall surface from the first side surface;

a second base rib projecting from the second side surface and extending to the top surface; and

a locking portion disposed on a side near the bottom surface of the base portion; and

a fixing member penetrating the frame from the front surface to the mounting surface, the fixing member being fixed to the base portion by screwing, wherein:

the first base rib is in contact with the wall surface, and

the second base rib is in contact with the mounting surface.

2. The loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein:

the attachment unit has a cylindrical portion disposed in a standing manner from the bottom surface, and

the locking portion projects from a side surface of the cylindrical portion.

3. The loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein

a projection amount of the second base rib is larger than a projection amount of the first base rib.

4. The loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein:

the wall surface has a wall surface rib, and

the wall surface rib projects toward the base portion.

5. The loudspeaker according to claim 4 , wherein

the wall surface rib is in contact with the base portion.

6. A loudspeaker structure comprising:

a diaphragm;

a frame having a front surface, a mounting surface disposed on a side opposite to the front surface, and a wall surface disposed in a standing manner from the mounting surface, the frame holding an outer peripheral edge of the diaphragm;

an attachment unit including:

a base portion having a top surface facing the mounting surface, a bottom surface disposed on a side opposite to the top surface, a first side surface facing the wall surface, and a second side surface disposed on a side opposite to the first side surface;

a first base rib projecting toward the wall surface from the first side surface;

a second base rib projecting from the second side surface and extending to the top surface; and

a locking portion disposed on a side near the bottom surface of the base portion;

a fixing member penetrating the frame from the front surface to the mounting surface, the fixing member being fixed to the base portion by screwing; and

a plate-shaped structural portion having an attachment hole into which the locking portion is inserted, wherein:

the first base rib is in contact with the wall surface, and

the second base rib is in contact with the mounting surface.

7. A loudspeaker comprising:

a diaphragm;

a frame having a front surface and a mounting surface disposed on a side opposite to the front surface, the frame holding an outer peripheral edge of the diaphragm; and

an attachment unit including:

a base portion having a top surface facing the mounting surface and a bottom surface disposed on a side opposite to the top surface;

a first locking portion disposed on a side near the top surface of the base portion; and

a second locking portion disposed on a side near the bottom surface of the base portion, wherein:

the attachment unit further includes:

a cylindrical portion disposed in a standing manner from the top surface; and

a connecting body disposed inside the cylindrical portion, and

the first locking portion projects from a side surface of the cylindrical portion, and a projection amount of the first locking portion is changeable by adjusting a position of the connecting body inside the cylindrical portion.
