Loudspeaker Mounting Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
7731130, Jun 8, 2010
Filed:
Jul 31, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/632433
Inventors:
William Andrew Decanio - Castaic CA, US
Paul Nelson Adley - Agoura Hills CA, US
Bernard Hawkins - Long Beach CA, US
Assignee:
Harman International Industries, Incorporated - Northridge CA
International Classification:
G12B 9/00
US Classification:
248 273, 381386
Abstract:
This invention provides a spring loaded mounting mechanism for easily mounting and removing a loudspeaker housing within an opening in a surface. The mounting mechanism includes a shaft connected to the loudspeaker housing. Attached to the shaft is a spring actuated arm. The actuated arm is compressed inward toward the housing by the side walls of the surface surrounding the opening when the housing is being positioned within the opening. At a certain point when the housing is inserted far enough into the opening, the actuated arm will lose contact with the side walls of the surface surrounding the opening and will expand to its open position. In its open position, the arm is positioned just behind or against the back face of the surface surrounding the opening, locking the housing into the opening in the surface. The invention further allows for the spring actuated arm to be tightened against or moved away from the back face of the surface by adjusting the positioning of the shaft. To remove the housing from the opening, the spring actuated arm may be moved away from the back face of the surface surrounding the opening by compressing the arm inward toward the housing.

US Patent:
7953239, May 31, 2011
Filed:
Feb 16, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/676201
Inventors:
William Andrew Decanio - Castaic CA, US
Assignee:
Harman International Industries, Incorporated - Northridge CA
International Classification:
H04R 25/00
US Classification:
381349, 381345, 381348
Abstract:
A speaker system with an enclosure having at least six sides. At least two active transducers are mounted inside the enclosure. Each active transducer is oriented to project from one of the sides. At least four passive radiators are mounted inside the enclosure. Each passive radiator is oriented to project from one of the sides. The number of active transducers and passive radiators equals the number of sides on the enclosure.

Loudspeaker Baffle Isolation System

View page
US Patent:
20040084243, May 6, 2004
Filed:
Jul 31, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/632452
Inventors:
William Decanio - Castaic CA, US
Paul Adley - Agoura Hills CA, US
Robert Tice - Canyon Drive CA, US
International Classification:
H05K005/00
US Classification:
181/150000
Abstract:
This invention provides a baffle isolation system for isolating a baffle from a housing in a loudspeaker mounting system. The isolation system may include an isolation mechanism that insulates the baffle from the speaker housing. The isolation mechanism may include a bumper member coupled to a hollow shaft. In another embodiment, the bumper member may also include at least two resistant members located on either side of the bumper and coupled to the hollow shaft. These resistant members act to acoustically reduce sound penetration through the isolation system. Radial isolation may be achieved by the bumper acting to reduce the transmission of vibrations from the baffle to the housing, while longitudinal isolation may be achieved by the resistant members. Ideally, the bumper and the resistant members may be manufactured out of an elastomeric material and may be designed as separate members or as one unitary member.

Acoustic Filter For Omnidirectional Loudspeaker

View page
US Patent:
20170094403, Mar 30, 2017
Filed:
Apr 28, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/141594
Inventors:
- Suwon-si, KR
Allan Devantier - Newhall CA, US
William Decanio - Valencia CA, US
Andri Bezzola - Pasadena CA, US
International Classification:
H04R 1/24
H04R 1/32
H04R 1/02
H04R 1/28
Abstract:
One embodiment provides an omnidirectional loudspeaker comprising a phase plug and an acoustic resonator within the phase plug. The acoustic resonator comprises acoustic damping material.

Loudspeaker For Eliminating A Frequency Response Dip

View page
US Patent:
20140334659, Nov 13, 2014
Filed:
May 10, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/891495
Inventors:
- Stamford CT, US
William Decanio - Castaic CA, US
Assignee:
Harman International Industries, Inc. - Stamford CT
International Classification:
H04R 1/02
US Classification:
381386
Abstract:
In at least one embodiment, a speaker system is provided. The speaker system includes a speaker enclosure having a front end, a rear end, and a first transducer. The front end is arranged to face a listening area. The rear end is arranged for being mounted to a mounting surface. The first transducer is positioned within the speaker enclosure for facing into the mounting surface such that the first loudspeaker transmits acoustic energy from the rear end towards the mounting surface to prevent a frequency response dip with the transmitted acoustic energy.
