Abstract

A transducer comprising: a flat strip of metal formed into a closed metal loop with two substantially parallel sides and rounded corners, a solenoid fixed to a surface on a first parallel side, and fixed magnets attached to an opposite parallel side of the trapezoidal shape to bring the fixed magnets into proximity with the solenoid, wherein at least one lateral side of the trapezoidal shape coupling said parallel sides has a continuously varying width, resulting in the transducer being able to resonate with high fidelity over a range of frequencies in response to reception of a signal comprising varying frequencies.

Claims (14)

1. A support clip for holding a vibrating transducer against a body of a wearer, the support clip comprising a U shaped open loop having a ventral end that presses on a torso of the wearer, and a dorsal end that presses on a back of the wearer, such that said vibrating transducer is attached to one of said ventral and dorsal ends, said vibrating transducer comprising, a coil and an array of magnets arranged around an axis of the coil, and distanced from the coil, a frame comprising a flat strip of metal formed into a symmetrical trapezoidal shaped closed metal loop having rounded corners, the coil fixed to a first parallel side of the frame, and the array of magnets coupled to an opposite parallel side of the frame a frame, wherein an alternating current in the coil causes the array of magnets to wiggle in a plane about the axis, substantially perpendicular to the axis of the solenoid.

2. The support clip of claim 1 wherein said vibrating transducer is attached to the ventral end of the U shaped open loop.

3. The support clip of claim 1 wherein said vibrating transducer is attached to the dorsal end of the U shaped open loop.

4. The support clip of claim 1 wherein a non-slip pad is attached to the dorsal end of the U shaped open loop.

5. The support clip of claim 1 wherein the U shaped open loop comprises a strip of steel.

6. The support clip of claim 1 wherein said vibrating transducer is configured to provide a bass sensation to music listeners.

7. The support clip of claim 4 wherein the non-slip pad comprises a pad of a hook and loop fastener fabric.

8. The support clip of claim 5 wherein the strip of steel is less than 1 mm thick and less than 20 mm wide.

9. The support clip of claim 5 wherein the strip of steel comprises a 300 Series stainless steel.

10. The support clip of claim 5 wherein the strip of steel comprises SS 302 or SS 310.

11. The support clip of claim 6 wherein said vibrating transducer is configured to provide a directional tugging.

12. The support clip of claim 6 wherein said vibrating transducer is configured to provide infrasound to gamers.

13. The support clip of claim 6 wherein said vibrating transducer supports multimedia.

14. The support clip of claim 6 comprising sections that are joined to each other by hinges, such that when said sections are opened out, ends of adjacent sections are aligned and in contact so that vibrations are transmitted along the support.
