Abstract
The present invention provides an attachment for an ultrasonic-wave transmitter/receiver that can be used by changing directivity characteristics according to the situation, even if there is only one ultrasonic-wave transmitter/receiver. The attachmentto be attached to the ultrasonic-wave transmitter/receivercomprises an acoustic lens, a holding member, and horizontal maintenance means. The acoustic lenshas a flat surfaceand a convex surfacelocated on the opposite side. The holding memberholds the acoustic lenswith the flat surfacefacing upward as well as detachably holds the ultrasonic transducer, so as to acoustically connect the acoustic radiation surfaceto the flat surface. The horizontality-maintaining meanshorizontally maintains the ultrasonic-wave transmitter/receiveand the acoustic lens
