Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the obtaining of a vibrator array in which fine vibrators are arranged with the formation of a precise pitch and gap by cutting a sheet of a piezoelectric material flat. CONSTITUTION:A sheet of a piezo-electric material is cut with the formation of a certain gap at a certain pitch as fixed on a supporting plate. After the cutting, the surface opposite to the surface bonded on the supporting plate is bonded along the cylindrical surface 15 of a sound absorbing material as fixed on the supporting plate. After adhesive layer 15 is hardened, the adhesive layer 13 is heated entirely until it melts to remove the supporting plate 12 from the sheet of piezo-electric material or a vibration array. A vibrator array so arranged to form a cylindrical surface of a required radius with the formation of a certain gap at a certain pitch is set on the sound absorbing material to obtain a vibrator assembly.
