Abstract
A simple structure will achieve dissipation of heat from the area inside a voice-coil bobbin and a diaphragm without a reduction in sound quality, in which a process for assembling a speaker device with high accuracy is performed in a simple operation. A speaker device comprises a recess-shaped frame 5 which supports, through an edge 9, a vibration system member 68 provided with a diaphragm 8 coupled to a voice-coil bobbin 6, and a magnetic circuit 4 which comprises an approximately ring-shaped magnet 2 and an approximately ring-shaped plate 3 which are mounted on a yoke 1 disposed in the frame 5, and a magnet gap 4g in which a voice coil 7 wound on a voice-coil bobbin 6 is disposed. In the magnetic circuit 4 a through hole 45 extending in the vibration direction of the diaphragm is fitted over a center boss 51 of a shape protruding from the bottom of the frame 5 in the direction of the sound emission, so that the magnetic circuit 4 is positioned and fixed with respect to the frame 5. An air passage 85 is formed along the center boss 51 fitted into the through hole 45 of the magnetic circuit 4 to establish communication between the inside of the voice-coil bobbin 6 and the outside of the frame.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
