Abstract

A multi-layer block to be developed into a disk having a honeycomb construction is initially developed into a columnar block, and then the bottom of the columnar block is radially developed for obtaining a core of a speaker diaphragm. A suitable circular thin layer is attached to the top and bottom of the core to complete a diaphragm. The columnar block may be developed by means of a cone-shaped tool into a truncated cone, and this truncated cone may be further developed into a flat disk by applying a force to the top thereof. Since the forces on development are applied to the block uniformly, the density of hexagonal sections of the honeycomb construction is uniform throughout the entire circumference of the core providing superior speaker characteristics.
