Patent ID: 8687837

Claim:
An electroacoustic transducer comprising: a frame which has a first plane and a second plane opposite to said first plane and a side plane connecting said first and second planes, and a notch having an opening at said side plane to connect said first and second planes; a diaphragm which is vibratably attached to said frame at said first plane; a voice coil which is attached to said diaphragm; a terminal which is attached to said frame at said second plane; and a lead which is connected to said voice coil, drawn from said first plane to said second plane through said notch, and connected to said terminal, wherein when said frame is seen in a direction in which said first and second planes are opposite to each other, said frame intervenes between said lead in said notch and one of intersection points at which a normal to said side plane that passes through a position of said lead in said notch and said side plane intersect, said one of said intersection points being closest to said opening one of said intersection points being closest to said opening, wherein said side plane covers planes of said frame not covered by said first and second planes, and another one of said intersection points is located on said normal to said side plane in an opposite side of said side plane, said another one of said intersection points not being said one of said intersection points.
