Loudspeaker having an interlocking magnet structure
First Claim
1. A loudspeaker having a magnet structure, comprising:
- a magnet having a first surface and a second surface;
a core cap mounted on the first surface of the magnet; and
a shell pot configured to receive the magnet and the core cap in a hollow interior, where the second surface of the magnet contacts a base surface of the shell pot; and
where the magnet, the core cap and the shell pot are configured to interlock to fixedly position the magnet with respect to the core cap and the shell pot.

Abstract
A magnet structure for use with a loudspeaker may have an interlocking mechanism. The magnet structure may include a magnet, a shell pot and a core cap. The shell pot may contain the magnet in its hollow interior. The magnet may be a single magnet or double magnets. The core cap has two surfaces. For a single magnet, one surface of the core cap may face a magnet. For double magnets, the core cap may be vertically disposed between the two magnets. The magnet, the core cap and the shell pot may interlock with one another such that a position of the magnet relative to the core cap and the shell pot may be rigidly preserved. The magnet may be configured to be, for example, overlapped, inserted, staked and/or engaged with at least one of the shell pot or the core cap.
