Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one arrangement, a vibration system includes a vibratable plate, a support member surrounding the vibratable plate, and a vibration-inducing member surrounding the support member. The vibration-inducing member is configured to radially expand and contract against the support member so as to produce axial vibration of the vibratable plate. In another arrangement, the vibratable plate has an outer circumference; a tubular member is concentrically disposed about the outer circumference of the plate, and an annular vibration-inducing member is concentrically disposed about the outer circumference of the tubular member. The vibration-inducing member is preferably a piezoelectric ring that is radially expandable and contractable against the wall of the tubular member to cause the plate to vibrate in the axial direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I claim: 1. A vibration system comprising: a circular vibratable plate having an outer circumference; a tubular member concentrically disposed about and in contact with the outer circumference of the plate, the tubular member aligning the circular vibratable plate, wherein the tubular member has an outer circumference; a mounting structure disposed inside the tubular member, the mounting structure supporting the circular vibratable plate; and an annular vibration-inducing me…
