Abstract:
A diaphragm of a loudspeaker is composed of a plate-shaped diaphragm body and a ring-shaped reinforcing part, both of which are bonded to each other. The reinforcing part is provided with a groove that is recessed from a joint surface of the reinforcing part, and the joint surface is joined to the diaphragm body. The groove causes an inner periphery of the reinforcing part to communicate with an outer periphery of the reinforcing part. A connecting wire passes through the groove to electrically couple a voice coil and a terminal disposed to the frame together. The voice coil is attached to the back surface of the diaphragm body.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of manufacturing a loudspeaker, the method comprising:\n coupling an outer periphery of a ring-shaped first edge and a frame together, the first edge being located in a hollow part of the frame; setting, in a jig body, both a ring-shaped reinforcing part and a voice coil body, the jig body being set in the hollow part of the frame, the reinforcing part having an opening and configuring a part of a diaphragm, the voice coil body including a voice coil wound in a vicinity of a first end of the voice coil body; electrically coupling the voice coil of the voice coil body to a terminal disposed in the frame, by using a connecting wire passing through a groove of the reinforcing part having a joint surface, the groove being opened in the joint surface, the groove causing an inner periphery of the reinforcing part to communicate with an outer periphery of the reinforcing part; bonding both the reinforcing part and a second end of the voice coil body to a plate-shaped diaphragm body, while the diaphragm body is placed on the joint surface of the reinforcing part so as to cover the opening of the reinforcing part, the diaphragm body configuring a part of the diaphragm; coupling an outer periphery of the diaphragm body and an outer periphery of the frame together, by using a second edge; removing the jig body from the frame; and attaching a magnetic circuit to the frame such that the voice coil of the voice coil body is located in a magnetic gap disposed in the magnetic circuit.
