Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A speaker includes a vibrating body having an annular valley portion recessed rearward and a diffuser having an annular or arcuate base part, which is positioned so that an end of the base part on the side of the vibrating body is opposed to the valley portion. The base part is provided, at the end on the side of the vibrating body, with one or more recessed parts from which distance to the vibrating body is larger than a distance of the other portion of the end to the vibrating body , each of the recessed parts being formed in any one of a sine-wave shape, a triangular-wave shape and an arc shape.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A speaker, comprising: a vibrating body having an annular valley portion recessed rearward; and a diffuser having an annular or arcuate base part, the diffuser being positioned so that an end of the base part on the side of the vibrating body is opposed to the valley portion, wherein the base part is provided, at the end on the side of the vibrating body, with one or more first recessed parts from which distance to the vibrating body is larger than a distance of the other portion of the end to the vibrating body, each of the first recessed parts being formed in any one of a sine-wave shape, a triangular-wave shape and an arc shape. 2 . The speaker of claim 1 , wherein the base part is provided, at an end thereof in a sound emission direction, with one or more second recessed parts, each of the second recessed parts being formed in any one of a sine-wave shape, a triangular-wave shape and an arc shape. 3 . A speaker system, comprising: a speaker comprising a vibrating body having an annular valley portion recessed rearward, a diffuser having an annular or arcuate base part, the diffuser being positioned so that an end of the base part on the side of the vibrating body is opposed to the valley portion, and the base part provided, at the end on the side of the vibrating body, with one or more first recessed parts from which distance to the vibrating body is larger than a distance of the other portion of the end to the vibrating body, each of the first recessed parts being formed in any one of a sine-wave shape, a triangular-wave shape and an arc shape; and an enclosure on which the speaker is mounted, wherein in a usage posture of the speaker system, one of the first recessed parts is located above an axis of the diffuser.
