Patent ID: 8174345

Claim:
A vibration generator, comprising: a coil fixed to a plate member at one end thereof in a central axis direction of the coil; a mover which faces the coil from another end of the coil, and which is vibratable in the central axis direction, the mover comprising a magnet and a yoke; a spring elastically supporting the mover to allow the mover to vibrate in the central axis direction, the spring being arranged on an outside of the coil in a radial direction thereof and extending along the radial direction, and the spring comprising an outer end portion and an inner end portion in the radial direction, and an elastic deformation section connecting the outer end portion and the inner end portion to each other; and a housing which houses the coil, the mover, and the spring therein, wherein: an outer circumferential part of the yoke is arranged on the outside of the coil in the radial direction; the outer end portion of the spring is nipped by two parts in the central axis direction to be fixed to the housing, and the inner end portion of the spring is fixed to the outer circumferential part of the yoke; and the outer end portion includes projecting parts formed to project from the elastic deformation section into two directions along the central axis.
