Patent ID: 8598997

Claim:
A vehicular annunciation device comprising: an electromagnetic alarm device being a single element, the electromagnetic alarm device including: a coil configured to generate a magnetism when supplied with an electricity; a current interrupter configured to interrupt an electricity supply circuit of the coil when the coil receives a direct current at a self-excited voltage greater than or equal to a threshold; a moving iron core configured to be driven by the magnetism generated by the coil; and a diaphragm joined with the moving iron core, wherein the current interrupter is configured to intermit the electricity supplied to the coil to oscillate the diaphragm with the moving iron core to generate a first alarm sound including a fundamental tone at a first predetermined frequency, when an alarm switch device is manipulated by an occupant to apply the self-excited voltage on the coil; and a vehicle proximity notification device including a parametric speaker configured to cause an ultrasonic speaker to emit a notification ultrasonic wave to an outside of the vehicle for notifying a pedestrian of proximity of the vehicle, according to a traveling state of the vehicle and/or when a sensor detects a pedestrian, the notification ultrasonic wave being generated by implementing ultrasonic modulation on a proximity notification sound, which is different from an alarm sound, wherein the vehicle proximity notification device is configured to cause the ultrasonic speaker to emit an alarm ultrasonic wave when the alarm switch device is manipulated, the alarm ultrasonic wave being generated by implementing ultrasonic modulation on a second alarm sound including a fundamental tone at a second frequency, which is different from the first frequency.
