Abstract
Abstract A low-leakage pot magnet system for moving-coil loudspeakers having two permanent magnets of opposite polarity is accomplished by spacing the lower permanent magnet away from the bottom of the screen pot by an appropriate support which includes a disk or plate of nonmagnetic material arranged between the lower permanent magnet body and the bottom of the screen pot.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
In a low-leakage pot magnet system for moving-coil loudspeakers of the type wherein two permanent magnet systems of opposite polarity are arranged, one above the other, within a screen pot enclosure made of a ferromagnetic material such as soft iron, the upper magnet system comprising an annular permanent magnet body concentrically surrounding an axial pole core and including upper and lower radially extending pole plates, the lower magnet system comprising an annular, or disk-shaped, permanent magnet body of opposite polarity to that of the upper magnet system and separated therefrom by said lower pole plate, the improvement which comprises spacer means to position the lower magnet system axially away from the bottom of the screen pot enclosure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
In a low-leakage pot magnet system for moving-coil loudspeakers of the type wherein two permanent magnet systems of opposite polarity are arranged, one above the other, within a screen pot enclosure made of a ferromagnetic material such as soft iron, the upper magnet system comprising an annular permanent magnet body concentrically surrounding an axial pole core and including upper and lower radially extending pole plates, the lower magnet system comprising an annular, or disk-shaped, permanent magnet body of opposite polarity to that of the upper magnet system and separated therefrom by said lower pole plate, the improvement which comprises spacer means to position the lower magnet system axially away from the bottom of the screen pot enclosure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
Low-leakage pot magnet system according to claim 1, wherein said spacer means comprises an element made of nonmagnetic material disposed between said lower magnet system and the bottom of the screen pot.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
Low-leakage pot magnet system according to claim 2, wherein the element comprising said spacer means is a plate or disk.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
Low-leakage pot magnet system according to claim 2, wherein the element comprising said spacer means is ring-shaped.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
Low-leakage pot magnet system according to any one of claims 2, 3 or 4 wherein said nonmagnetic material comprises cardboard, plastic or brass.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
Low-leakage pot magnet system according to claim 1, wherein said spacer means comprises an inwardly directed protuberance formed in the cylindrical wall of the screen pot.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
Low-leakage pot magnet system according to claim 6, wherein said protuberance extends in an annular direction along at least a portion of circumferance of said wall.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
50 words
Low-leakage pot magnet system according to any one of claims 1, 2 or 3, wherein the upper pole plate of the upper magnet system includes at least two radially outwardly directed lobes for bayonet-type detachable supporting engagement of the pot magnet system with the diaphragm supporting mechanism of a loudspeaker.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
34 words
Low-leakage pot magnet system according to claim 8, wherein said lobes project outwardly beyond the outer periphery of the cylindrical wall of said screen pot through complementary recesses provided in the upper margin thereof.
