<p>A transducer is comprised of a piezoelectric ceramic cylindrical vibrator vibrating radially, and a sheet provided on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical vibrator and including a fiber reinforced composite material with fibers oriented only in the direction of central axis of the cylindrical vibrator. Non-piezoelectric cylinder consisting of A l alloy or Mg alloy may be usable instead of the sheet. Another type of transducer includes a cylindrical piezo-transducer vibrating radially, a cylindrical sound radiator with the central axis coincident with the cylindrical piezo-transducer, and a bending coupler provided at a predetermined interval on end surfaces of the two cylinders and coupling the cylindrical piezo-transducer and the cylindrical sound radiator. Other type of transducer is comprised of a cylindrical piezo-transducer vibrating radially, an outside cylindrical sound radiator with its central axis coincident with the central axis of the cylindrical piezo-transducer which contains the piezo-transducer therein, and a coupler extending radially from an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical piezo-transducer to an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical sound radiator, thereby coupling both the two.</p> |
