Joseph R Rich

US Patent:

42152496, Jul 29, 1980

Filed:

Apr 25, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/900016

Inventors:

John M. Reynard - Framingham MA
Thomas N. Carignan - Danvers MA
Richard Paglia - Carlisle MA
Joseph F. Rich - Danvers MA

Assignee:

Polaroid Corporation - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

H04R 714
H04R 1900

US Classification:

179111R

Abstract:

A method and device for significantly improving the efficiency and sensitivity of an electroacoustical transducer. A relatively inelastic vibratile diaphragm is preformed to the shape of a mating backplate prior to the time it is actually mated to said backplate. By such preforming, the efficiency and sensitivity reducing effects from a wrinkled transducer diaphragm are minimized in that said wrinkles move to a diaphragm region where they have no effect on transducer sensitivity when the backplate is subsequently mated to said diaphragm.
