Abstract
Abstract A body-sensible acoustic device which can be readily mounted on and detached from a seat of an automobile. A drive unit driven by acousto-electrical signals is mounted on a vibration transmitting member. A pair of clamping members are provided which are coupled to the vibration transmitting member in such a manner as to be slidable with respect thereto and swingable in a plane including the vibration transmitting member. Each clamping member has an arm for a holding a side frame provided in the seat body.
