図6は、図5に示す剛体部材330とは支持部材120に対する向きが異なる円錐台形状の剛体部材430を説明するための斜視図である。図6では、本発明のスピーカにおける音源部110、支持部材120、および剛体部材430のみを示している。
さらに、実施形態1のスピーカ10はヘッドホン、補聴器などにおいて利用可能であり、実施形態2では、実施形態1のスピーカ10を用いたヘッドホンを説明する。
図9は、図7に示す実施形態2の変形例のヘッドホン1のスピーカ部分100cを説明するための断面図である。図7に示す実施形態2のヘッドホン1のスピーカ部分100a、100bと比べて、スピーカ100cは、剛体部材130の外側のスペースがカバー部材の内周面との間に形成されている点が異なっている。
図10は、本発明の実施形態3によるスピーカ30を説明するための図であり、実施形態1によるスピーカ10の変形例であるスピーカ30を示している。図10(a)は、スピーカ30の断面図である。
また、上述したスピーカ30の構成は、図7~図9で説明したヘッドホン1のスピーカ部分100b~100cに用いることができる。
図12は、本発明の実施形態5によるヘッドホンのスピーカ部分を説明するための断面図であり、このヘッドホンに採用されている、平板状の蓋部材170を備えたスピーカ100eを示す。このスピーカ部分100eは、図8(b)に示す実施形態2のヘッドホン1を構成するスピーカ部分100aにおいて、耳当て部材140上に蓋部材および追加の耳当て部材を積層したものであり、その他の構成は、実施形態2で説明したスピーカ部分100aにおけるものと同一である。すなわち、図12に示すスピーカ部分100eは、図8に示す実施形態2のスピーカ部分100aにおける1つの耳当て部材140に代えて、積層した2つの耳当て部材140aおよび140bを備え、音源部110側の耳当て部材140aと音源部110と反対側の耳当て部材140bとの間にリング状平板からなる蓋部材170を配置したものである。この平板からなる蓋部材170の中央開口170aは、音源部110で発生した音が剛体部材130の内側および外側を通って耳介に向けて通過する通路となっている。
