DE1052488B - Electric sound reproduction device, especially radio or television receiver or combination device - Google Patents

Description

GERMAN

The invention relates to electrical sound reproduction devices, in particular radio or television receivers or combinations of these devices with a record player or magnetic recorder, and aims, if possible to hide all the features that give the device a technical appearance to the sound player to give the character of a harmoniously self-contained piece of furniture.

It is already known to give radio sets or television receivers a more pleasing appearance confer that they can be fitted with doors that may have any patterned covering and depending on Need before the technical part of the device, d. H. so in front of the scale and control buttons, pushed can be provided. Furthermore, it has already been proposed for housings for radio receivers with built-in loudspeaker, the sound outlet opening of which is covered by a covering and whose tuning scale and operating elements can optionally be covered in a sound-permeable manner, the speaker covering for optional additional cover of the tuning scale and, if necessary of controls of the receiver in the vertical direction and in the form of a Form a rollable web of material with a grip strip guided on both sides by spring-loaded rollers is provided. The invention now avoids rolling up the covering on a roller or cylinder and is characterized in that the baffle covering along the inside of the Housing remaining edge on the housing is resiliently held in such a way that the suspension is pulled out the covering from the housing over the front or part of the front of the housing allowed with one edge. The suspension can also be achieved in that the covering or cladding of the baffle is designed to be resilient in itself, for example by being made from elastic material.

Further details of the invention are based on the drawings, the exemplary embodiments of the inventive concept show, explained in more detail.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a device in which the movable covering or cladding the baffle is shown in the usual position so that scale and control buttons exposure;

Fig. 2 shows the same device in the closed position of the covering. The entire front of the The radio is covered, including the control buttons and scale;

Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of an electrical sound reproduction device (radio), in which the control buttons in the lower part of the electrical sound reproduction device,
in particular radio or television receiver or combination device

Housing frame are attached so that they are also in the drawn closed position of the movable Covering are accessible.

In Fig. 1, 1 is the housing of a radio receiver, 2 is the operating dial with the push button device 3, while 4 denotes the baffle covering. This scarf wall covering or cladding 4 is movable or displaceable by pulling it out of the housing such that scale and Control devices can be covered by means of this baffle. The one on one edge of the Baffle 4 attached bar 5 can be by hand in the groove 6 on both sides of the covering is attached to move forward, whereby this covering 4 down and out of the housing at the same time is pulled out and thus covers the front of the device. This locking position is shown in FIG shown. In both figures, the attachment or the mechanism of the movable baffle is dashed 4 indicated. By means of the spring 7, the other end of the baffle is attached to the housing, and at the same time the covering 4 itself is guided over a roller 8, which is seated at the top under the cover plate of the housing. So it can be easily moved over the baffle cover 4 when moving the bar 5 in the groove 6 pull this roller 8 and at the same time bring it into the closed position .. In this closed position an easily releasable lock can come into action, causing the baffle to move back unintentionally Prevents the reason for the existing spring balancer.

In Fig. 3 is another embodiment for a radio device with the movable according to the invention Baffle covering 4 shown. The closed state of the device is shown; the scale and the pointers are obscured by the movable

Baffle, however, the operating elements of the device 9 to 13 arranged in the lower part of the housing frame, which are designed as knurled wheels, for example, are also accessible in this closed state of the device, which is already known per se. The device can also be operated when the baffle covering is in the closed position. The baffle covering is advantageously dimensioned so that it coincides as closely as possible with the cutout to be covered in the front of the device. It is also possible to bring about a lighting effect by means of the movable baffle covering, for example in that when this baffle covering is in the closed position, lighting preferably takes place from the inside. This lighting can, for. B. be actuated in the closed position of the baffle covering, by an additional switching mechanism. In this way, when the front panel is in the closed position and when the device is in operation, the covering square can be illuminated. The embodiment according to FIG. 3 is particularly interesting in terms of avoiding a technical appearance insofar as the device only has operating elements which are designed as pinions in a manner known per se and only protrude from the housing with a small part of their circumference, namely only as far as this is sufficient for operation from the front. The previously usual button-shaped operating handles are completely avoided, whereby the device is given the appearance of a piece of furniture even more than that of a technical device. Patent claims: 1. Electrical sound reproduction device, especially radio or television receiver or Combination device, with movable baffle or loudspeaker covering guided in or on the housing for covering the tuning scale and possibly also the operating elements, characterized in that the covering is longitudinal the edge remaining within the housing is held resiliently on the housing in such a way that the Suspension pulling the covering out of the housing over the front or a Part of the front of the case with an edge is permitted. 2. Electrical sound reproduction device according to claim 1, characterized in that the covering or cladding of the baffle or the loudspeaker opening designed to be resilient, is made for example of elastic material. 3. Electrical sound reproducing device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the Display means, in particular main and secondary scales with associated display devices, can be covered by the movable covering of the baffle or the loudspeaker opening, while the operating means remain freely accessible. 4. Electrical sound reproducing device according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that the covering of the baffle or the loudspeaker opening is guided over one or more guide rollers or rollers. 5. Electrical sound reproduction device according to one or more of claims 1 to 4, characterized characterized in that the covering of the baffle or the loudspeaker opening in order to achieve a lighting effect, preferably can be illuminated from the inside. 6. Electrical sound player according to claim 5, characterized in that the lighting actuated by the movement of the covering, preferably with the front panel closed will. 7. Electrical sound reproduction device according to one or more of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that that the device has only pinion as controls with a low Part of their circumference protrude from the housing.
