Abstract

In a piezoelectric vibrator used for acoustic equipment, a vibration control piece composed of an elastomer is attached to the peripheral section of the piezoelectric plate of the vibrator. The shape of the vibration control plate is decided so that the distance between an axial line which is perpendicular to the straight line connecting the center of the piezoelectric plate to the center of gravity of the vibration control piece and passing through the center of the plate and the center-of-mass line of the vibration control plate can change along the axial line, or the masses of the cut pieces of the vibration control plate cut along a plurality of straight lines parallel to the straight line connecting to the center of the piezoelectric plate to the center of gravity of the vibration control piece can change along the axial line which is perpendicular to the straight line and passes through the center of the piezoelectric plate.
