Spider with lead wires sandwiched
View Patent ↗An annular spider with lead wires sandwiched is provided. The improved structure of the spider allows the lead wires to be sandwiched in between two surface linings. The annular spider that serves to have the voice coil held in concentric position is formed by a negative shaped press mould with two halves, where each half has at least one half-circle slot on the mould surface, so that at least one tunnel is formed when two complementary slots on opposite mould halves are combined, through which the lead wire is fixed between two surface linings. The complementary slots of the two mould halves can prevent damage or deformation to the lead wires in the spider forming process.
1. A spider, comprising:
an upper surface lining which is a sheet of cloth or other fabric material formed with multiple upper ribs each having a half circle shape;
a lower surface lining which is a sheet of cloth or other fabric material formed with multiple lower ribs each having a half circle shape; and multiple tunnels formed radially by bonding the upper and lower surface linings together with the upper and lower ribs aligned;
wherein multiple lead wires respectively pass through the tunnels from an inner rim to an outer rim of the bonded surface linings.
2. The spider as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spider is press formed using a negative shaped mould with two halves each having multiple half-circle slots on the surface of the mould so that multiple tunnels are created and arranged radially when complementary slots on the two mould halves are combined.
