Abstract
An ultrasonic horn includes a generally cylindrical input section having an energy input end, a generally cylindrical output section having an energy output end, and a throat section disposed between the input section and the output section, the throat section being defined by a side wall having a continuous curve and having a diameter tapering down from a diameter generally equal to a diameter of the input section on a side connected to the input section, and tapering down from a diameter generally equal to a diameter of the output section on a side connected to the output section, to a minimum throat diameter. The minimum throat diameter is smaller than the diameter of the output section and the diameter of the output section is smaller than the diameter of the input section. The side wall of the throat section has a constant radius of curvature.
