Title: Speaker with hidden folding ring
Inventor: ZHI CHEN
IPC: H04R7/16
Filed: 2019-05-07
Abstract: The loudspeaker comprises a frame 1, a magnetic system 2 mounted on the frame, a voice coil disposed in a magnetic gap of the magnetic system and a concave diaphragm 31. The outer edge of the diaphragm is connected to an inner bracket 11 of the frame with a surround 33. The surround is located beneath or behind the diaphragm so that a cavity 6 is formed between the surround and the frame. A relatively small gap is present between the perimeter of the diaphragm and the frame. Sound absorbing material 7 may be located within the cavity 6. The surround 33 may be roll-shaped or corrugated (fig 4). The is said to increase the effective radiation area of the diaphragm, so obtaining an increased SPL.

Title: Switching device and method for operating a switching device
Inventor: KAI SCHROEDER
IPC: H01H73/04
Filed: 2021-05-27
Abstract: Switching device 10 has two fixed contacts 55,56 and two movable contacts 45,46 fixed to a contact bridge 40. A contact bridge carrier 30 is coupled to the contact bridge by at least one spring 31. A lever arm is connected to either the contact bridge or the bridge carrier and arranged to slow down the relative movement of the bridge and carrier in the case of a short circuit. The contact bridge (140 figure 2E) may perform a rotational movement in the event of a short circuit and a linear movement when the device transitions between an off-state to an on-state without a short circuit. The lever arm may be bent by the motion of the contact bridge to contact a high-friction contact area. The contact area may have a rough, toothed, ribbed, grooved, or rubber surface for increasing the friction. The switching device comprises a magnetic drive assembly 47 with an electric coil 41 and armature 20 that is coupled to the bridge carrier. The device is configured so that a short circuit causes movement of the contact bridge relative to the bridge carrier before the armature starts to move.
