Abstract
An electro-acoustic signalling horn of the type comprising a case containing an electromagnetic excitation system, a diaphragm subjected to the action of said system, and a sound amplifying box extending a labyrinth chamber. Said box is in a single moulded piece and has a lateral opening opening into said chamber and adapted to receive the diaphragm and the case. Said diaphragm and said case are rendered integral by a metal plate having an edge portion formed over onto a peripheral portion of the diaphragm and the case, the assembly comprising the case, the diaphragm and the plate being maintained in said opening by adhesion of the plate to the adjacent portion of the labyrinth chamber and cooperation of the formed-over peripheral portion of the plate with the edge of the opening.
Claims7
An electro-acoustic signalling horn comprising a case containing an electromagnetic excitation system and having an open front face, a diaphragm subjected to the action of said system and extending across said front face, a closure plate disposed at the front of said casing and having an edge portion folded over a corresponding peripheral edge portion of said case and said diaphragm to unite said case and diaphragm into an assembly, a sound box comprising a unitary element having a base wall and scroll-like wall means upstanding therefrom, a continuous edge of said wall means remote from said base wall secured to said closure plate by an adhesive, said base wall, wall means and closure plate together defining a labyrinthine passage, said sound box having a peripheral edge configuration cooperating with said edge portion of said plate.
