Abstract

Abstract An electrodynamic loudspeaker having a cone diaphragm within which there is arranged a centrally located body which influences the acoustic radiation. This body is formed by an extension of the magnet core of the moving coil which extension is enlarged in the region of the mouth of the cone to form a partial covering of the cone chamber up to about half of the diameter of the cone mouth. The central part of the covering is approximately equal to one and a half times the diameter of the magnet core and forms a closed surface. In the remaining edge area of the covering there are axially arranged passages, the cross-sections of which occupy approximately one-half of this edge area. An electrodynamic loudspeaker with a cone diaphragm also has a support of the moving coil which extends beyond its point of attachment to the diaphragm up into the space within the cone diaphragm and with the end of this extension dips into a cap-shaped part which is secured fixedly to the loudspeaker while retaining a slight radial clearance therebetween.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 135 words
An electrodynamic loudspeaker with a cone diaphragm and a body arranged concentrically within the cone diaphragm in order to influence the acoustic radiation, the cone diaphragm defining a cone opening, said body comprises a disc-shaped covering which is arranged in the vicinity of a plane of the edge of the loudspeaker, the covering having a diameter equal to about one-half of the diameter of the cone opening, said covering has: a central part of a size equal to approximately one and a half times the diameter of the magnet core of the moving coil, said central part forms a closed surface; and an edge area, constituting the rest of said covering other than said said central part, being formed with axially disposed passages, the cross-sections of said passages occupying approximately one-half of said edge area.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 135 words
An electrodynamic loudspeaker with a cone diaphragm and a body arranged concentrically within the cone diaphragm in order to influence the acoustic radiation, the cone diaphragm defining a cone opening, said body comprises a disc-shaped covering which is arranged in the vicinity of a plane of the edge of the loudspeaker, the covering having a diameter equal to about one-half of the diameter of the cone opening, said covering has: a central part of a size equal to approximately one and a half times the diameter of the magnet core of the moving coil, said central part forms a closed surface; and an edge area, constituting the rest of said covering other than said said central part, being formed with axially disposed passages, the cross-sections of said passages occupying approximately one-half of said edge area.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 175 words
An electrodynamic loudspeaker having a cone diaphragm disposed around a magnetic core of a moving coil and a body arranged concentrically in the inside of the cone diaphragm in order to influence the acoustic radiation, the cone diaphragm defining a cone opening and a cone space, said body comprising an extension of the magnet core of the moving coil, said extension extends up into the vicinity of a plane of the edge of the loudspeaker, said extension is enlarged at an end in disc shape forming a partial covering of the cone space up to a size equal to approximately one-half of the diameter of the cone opening, said covering has: a central part of a size equal to approximately one and a half times the diameter of the magnet core of the moving coil, said central part forms a closed surface; and an edge area, constituting the rest of said covering other than said central part, being formed with axially disposed passages, the cross-sections of said passages occupying approximately one-half of said edge area.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 175 words
An electrodynamic loudspeaker having a cone diaphragm disposed around a magnetic core of a moving coil and a body arranged concentrically in the inside of the cone diaphragm in order to influence the acoustic radiation, the cone diaphragm defining a cone opening and a cone space, said body comprising an extension of the magnet core of the moving coil, said extension extends up into the vicinity of a plane of the edge of the loudspeaker, said extension is enlarged at an end in disc shape forming a partial covering of the cone space up to a size equal to approximately one-half of the diameter of the cone opening, said covering has: a central part of a size equal to approximately one and a half times the diameter of the magnet core of the moving coil, said central part forms a closed surface; and an edge area, constituting the rest of said covering other than said central part, being formed with axially disposed passages, the cross-sections of said passages occupying approximately one-half of said edge area.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 38 words
The electrodynamic loudspeaker according to claim 2, wherein said extension means forms a pot-shaped part, a moving coil support extends towards a front into said pot-shaped part yet slightly spaced from said pot-shaped part defining a clearance therebetween.
