Multimedia-Monitor mit lösbar befestigbaren LautsprechernMultimedia monitor with detachable speakers
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Multimedia-Monitor nach den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a multimedia monitor according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
Multimedia bedeutet ein Systemkonzept der Informationstechnik, bei dem Informationen aus verschiedenen Medien, wie Standbild, bewegtes Bild, Toninformation und Text in einer integrierten Gerätekonfiguration erfaßt und bearbeitet werden können. Eine diesbezüglich typische Gerätekonfiguration ist ein sog. Multimedia-PC, der Informationen aus unterschiedlichen Quellen, z.B. aus einem Hifi-CD-Gerät, einem CD-ROM-Speicher oder auch aus einem Videorecorder zusammenträgt, bearbeitet, speichert und wiedergibt. Dazu ist es notwendig, den Multimedia-PC unter anderem mit einer sog. Sound-Karte, einem CD-ROM-Laufwerk und zusätzlichen Lautsprechern nachzurüsten. Die Wiedergabe der Videosignale erfolgt über den ohnehin vorhandenen Monitor des PC. Die zusätzlichen Lautsprecher werden dabei zweckmäßig nach Art von Stereo-Boxen zu beiden Seiten des Monitorgehäuses befestigt, um dem Benutzer eine möglichst gute Audio-Qualität zu liefern. Für die zusätzlichen Lautsprecher kommen grundsätzlich zwei Systerne in Betracht. Entweder aktive Lautsprechersysteme, wobei der dazu notwendige Verstärker in einer der beiden Boxen angeordnet ist und die zweite Box über eine Querverbindung versorgt wird; oder über übliche passive Lautsprechersysteme, wobei jede Box mit der Sound-Karte des PC verbunden werden muß. In beiden Fällen ist neben der mechanischen Befestigung der beiden Lautsprecherboden ein zusätzlicher Aufwand für die Monitor-externe elektrische Verdrahtung erforderlich.Multimedia is a system concept in information technology, in which information from various media, such as still images, moving images, sound information and text, can be recorded and processed in an integrated device configuration. A typical device configuration in this regard is a so-called multimedia PC, which collects, processes, saves and plays back information from various sources, e.g. from a hi-fi CD player, a CD-ROM memory or even a video recorder. To do this, it is necessary to retrofit the multimedia PC with a so-called sound card, a CD-ROM drive and additional loudspeakers. The video signals are played back via the PC's existing monitor. The additional loudspeakers are conveniently attached to both sides of the monitor housing in the manner of stereo speakers in order to provide the user with the best possible audio quality. There are basically two systems to consider for the additional loudspeakers. Either active loudspeaker systems, where the necessary amplifier is located in one of the two speakers and the second speaker is supplied via a cross connection; or via standard passive speaker systems, whereby each speaker must be connected to the PC's sound card. In both cases, in addition to the mechanical fastening of the two speaker bases, additional effort is required for the electrical wiring external to the monitor.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, für die Nachrüstung eines Multimedia-PC mit zusätzlichen Lautsprechern eine möglichst einfache und für jedermann leicht durchführbare Montage zu gewährleisten.The present invention is based on the task of ensuring that retrofitting a multimedia PC with additional loudspeakers is as simple as possible and easy for everyone to install.

Diese Aufgabe wird, ausgehend von einem Multimedia-Monitor der eingangs genannten Art, erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen angegeben. 5This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1, starting from a multimedia monitor of the type mentioned at the outset. Advantageous further developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims. 5
Im folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigenIn the following, an embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.
Figur 1 eine Monitoranordnung für einen Multimedia-PC mit lösbar befestigbaren Lautsprechern gemäß der Erfindung, Figur 2,3,4 eine Lautsprecheranordnung in Vorder-, Seiten- und Draufsicht.Figure 1 shows a monitor arrangement for a multimedia PC with detachably attachable loudspeakers according to the invention, Figures 2, 3, 4 show a loudspeaker arrangement in front, side and top view.
Die Figur 1 zeigt die Vorderansicht eines Multimedia-Monitors 1 mit zwei jeweils an den Seitenwänden des Monitorgehäuses angebrachten Lautsprecherboxen 2,3, die vorzugsweise im Wege der Nachrüstung am Monitor lösbar befestigt werden.Figure 1 shows the front view of a multimedia monitor 1 with two loudspeaker boxes 2, 3 each attached to the side walls of the monitor housing, which are preferably removably attached to the monitor by way of retrofitting.
Die Art und Weise der Befestigung ergibt sich aus den Figuren 2 bis 4. Die Figur 2 zeigt die Vorderansicht des linken Lautsprechers 2 {siehe Figur l) mit einer seitlichen Befestigungsleiste 4, an der zwei zapfenartige Befestigungselemente 5,6 vorgesehen sind. Diese Befestigungselemente 5,6 greifen Monitorgehäuse in eine Funktionsleiste bzw. in dort vorgesehene Gegenelemente (nicht dargestellt) ein. Mittels dieser Befestigungselemente 5,6 erfolgt nicht nur die mechanische Halterung der Lautsprecher am Monitorgehäuse, sondern auch der elektrische Kontakt, so daß sich eine zusätzliche Verdrahtung erübrigt. Die Befestigungselemente 5,6 und die entsprechenden Gegenelemente am Monitor können als Steckkontakt oder beispielsweise auch als Teile einer Schraubverbindung ausgebildet sein. Die entsprechende Schraube taucht dabei in eine Bohrung 7 im Lautsprechergehäuse 2 ein, bis sie mit einer im Monitorgehäuse integrierten Schraubenmutter in Eingriff kommt. Wie bereits erwähnt, stellen die Befestigungselemente und die zugehörigen Gegenelemente sowohl den mechanischen als auch den elektrischen Kontakt zwischen den Laut-The method of fastening is shown in Figures 2 to 4. Figure 2 shows the front view of the left loudspeaker 2 (see Figure 1) with a side fastening strip 4 on which two pin-like fastening elements 5, 6 are provided. These fastening elements 5, 6 engage the monitor housing in a function strip or in counter elements provided there (not shown). These fastening elements 5, 6 not only mechanically hold the loudspeakers on the monitor housing, but also provide electrical contact, so that additional wiring is not necessary. The fastening elements 5, 6 and the corresponding counter elements on the monitor can be designed as plug contacts or, for example, as parts of a screw connection. The corresponding screw is inserted into a hole 7 in the loudspeaker housing 2 until it engages with a screw nut integrated in the monitor housing. As already mentioned, the fastening elements and the associated counter elements provide both mechanical and electrical contact between the loudspeakers.

Schließkontaktes herstellen.speakers and the monitor. However, it is also possible that the fastening elements, after mechanical contact with the counter elements, make electrical contact on
indirectly by activating a closing contact provided in the monitor housing.
