ABSTRACT:
The horn comprises a magnetically permeable housing with an electromagnet mounted therein and a diaphragm attached thereto. The electromagnet core may have an inclined bearing surface at one end thereof. A striker is disposed between the electromagnet bearing surface and the diaphragm for movement away from and strikingly against the diaphragm, the striker being coupled to the housing by a flexible carrier member which is so mounted that when the striker is moving away from the diaphragm there is imparted to the carrier member a predetermined curvature to increase the potential energy thereof. In one form of the invention a control member, either integral with or attached to the housing, has a curved surface engageable with the carrier member to impart the predetermined curvature thereto. The control member may also have a stepped configuration which simulates a curved surface. In still another form of the invention the carrier member rests loosely upon a sloping control surface of the housing.
