Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 51 words
Acoustic device comprising: a main body having a magnet attached thereto, a vibrating means disposed to cooperate with the magnet of said main body for converting an electrical vibration into a mechanical vibration or vice versa, and a means for floating up said vibrating means to disengage with said main body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 51 words
Acoustic device comprising: a main body having a magnet attached thereto, a vibrating means disposed to cooperate with the magnet of said main body for converting an electrical vibration into a mechanical vibration or vice versa, and a means for floating up said vibrating means to disengage with said main body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 73 words
Acoustic device as defined in claim 1 wherein said device is an acoustic speaker and wherein said vibrating means includes a cone-shaped vibrating plate floated up from said main body by the action of said floating means and a voice coil means mounted on said vibrating plate for cooperating with the magnet of said main body to convert an electrical vibration in said magnet into a mechanical vibration in said cone-shaped vibrating plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 87 words
Acoustic device as defined in claim 1 wherein said device is a microphone, and wherein said vibrating means includes: a movable member floated up from said main body by the action of said floating means, said movable member being adapted to effect the vibratory movement thereof as it is impinged by any sound in the air, and means on said movable member for cooperating with the magnet of said main body to convert the vibratory movement of said movable member into an electrical vibration in said magnet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 87 words
Acoustic device as defined in claim 1 wherein said device is a cartridge for electric gramophones and wherein said vibrating means includes: a movable member floated up from said main body by the action of said floating means, a needle attached to said movable member, and means on said movable member for cooperating with the magnet of said main body to convert a mechanical vibration in said movable member which is transmitted thereto from said needle into an electrical vibration in the magnet of said main body,
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 57 words
Acoustic device as defined in claim 2 wherein said cone-shaped vibrating plate has at its apex a cylindrical hollow portion and wherein said floating means includes means for supplying a uniform flow of air into said hollow portion to hold said vibrating plate away from said main body under the action of said uniform flow of air.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 31 words
. Acoustic device as defined in claim 2 wherein said floating means includes magnet means for holding said vibrating plate away from said main body under the influence of magnetic force.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 51 words
Acoustic device as defined in claim 3 wherein said movable member is a cylindrical hollow tube and wherein said floating means includes means for supplying a uniform flow of air into said cylindrical hollow tube to hold it away from said main body under the influence of said flow of air.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 41 words
Acoustic device as defined in claim 3 wherein said movable member is a cylindrical hollow tube and wherein said floating means includes magnet means for holding said cylindrical hollow tube away from said main body under the influence of magnetic force.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 51 words
Acoustic device as defined in claim 4 wherein said movable member is a cylindrical hollow tube and wherein said floating means includes means for supplying a uniform flow of air into said cylindrical hollow tube to hold it away from said main body under the influence of said flow of air.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 30 words
Acoustic device as defined in claim 4 wherein said floating means includes magnet means for holding said movable member away from said main body under the influence of magnetic force.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 43 words
Acoustic device as defined in claim 1 wherein said device is an acoustic speaker and wherein Said vibrating means includes a sound-producing vibrating plate floated up from said main body by the compressed air generated by the movement of the above vibrating device.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 96 words
12 . Acoustic device as defined in claim 1 wherein said device is an acoustic speaker and wherein said vibrating means includes a sound-producing vibrating plate floated up from said main body by the action of a vibrating member made from such a material that it is oscillated when a high frequency is applied thereto, whereby a compressed air film layer (the squeezed film) is formed to separate the vibrating plate from the vibrating member in order to float said vibrating plate when it is oscillated by the high frequency voltage applied to the vibrating member.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 56 words
An electro-mechanical transducer including a main body having a magnet (8) attached thereto, a vibrating means (1, 2, 3) disposed to cooperate with the magnet for converting an electrical vibration into a mechanical vibration or vice versa, and a force means (7) arranged to floatingly support said vibrating means out of contact from said main body.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 56 words
An electro-mechanical transducer including a main body having a magnet (8) attached thereto, a vibrating means (1, 2, 3) disposed to cooperate with the magnet for converting an electrical vibration into a mechanical vibration or vice versa, and a force means (7) arranged to floatingly support said vibrating means out of contact from said main body.
