Definitions

  • This invention relates to a quick connection for loudspeakers, constituted substantially by an annular cylindrical body, either integral with or mountest on to the heavier back part constituting the magnet unit of loudspeakers, bayonet-engageable into a moulded seat which is obtained either directly on the plate of the doors or other suitable parts of the body, or on plastic details of support parts, such as for instance car parts or the like for car radio systems. It is provided with peripheral slanted or spiral flanges having the function of hooking its bayonet connection on said moulded seats.
  • the annular body which engages with the magnet unit of loudspeakers, is applicable to said moulded seat thanks to an axial insertion movement followed by a rotation, which may be performed by hand or with mechanical tools and/or arms. No fasteners such as screws or the like are required.
  • this invention comprises also connections that, once the whole is assembled, ensure a perfect and stable permanence in their correct position, and a perfect realization of electric connections.
  • the annular cylindrical body may be also provided with a front part constituted by a peripheral band, with a free lower edge, on which band the front band of the diffusion cone of the loudspeaker engages.
  • the lower edge of said peripheral band is free and participates in the connection getting in pressure relation with the peripheral zone adjoining the hole where said annular body is engaged.
  • the configuration of present loudspeakers includes front structures peripherally arranged reatively to the outlet mouths of the diffusion cones, on which mouths coupling holes are provided for screws, rivets, bolts and the like. Thanks to these devices, the loudspeakers are connected to the spaces where they belong.
  • the invention solves the problem by means of a quick connection for loudspeakers through which the following results are achieved: the connection of loudspeakers to the supporting structures is applied on the heavier back part, opposite to the diffusion cones and corresponding to the magnet unit; the front part of loudspeakers, i.e. the diffusion cones, is free from rigid connections; the coupling of fasteneres with the related and corresponding seats is by axial insertion and following rotation with bayonet-closing, followed by a final connection and by the closing of electric contacts.
  • both parts may integrate a special electric connection: the quick connection is preferably made from plastic material or any other material having antivibration damping characteristics; the whole houses the coupled loudspeaker completely; the quick connection is bayonet-assembleable, either by hand or automatically, with no need for other tools.
  • the advantages achieved by this invention lie essentially in that the connection of loudspeakers with their seats is obtained in a simple, quick, economical and safe way, the diffusion cones are not required to perform as supports; the freedom of the diffusion cones ensures the optimum operation both from the strictly mechanical point of view and from the more important acoustic point of view.
  • the quick connection may be of the universal type, utilizable for corresponding types of loudspeakers and standardized holes to be obtained on the prepared walls of vehicles in general; the connection can be easily fastened in the corresponding spaces by simple alignment and bayonet-hooking rotation, while the possible lower edge gets in touch and pressure relation, with antivibration function, on the peripheral surface adjoining the coupling holes realizable on said prepared walls; the whole operation is quick, simple and economical.
  • said quick connection is substantially constituted by an annular body (1) so realized as to be assembleable to or substantially integral with the back part (2) and (2') of loudspeaker (7); more specifically, with the back magnet unit and possibly with the lower edge of the restraint basket of the acoustic diffusion cone.
  • the annular body (1) in its non integral version, is realized according to the concept of a preferably but not limitedly plastic anchoring joint. With a suitable sizing, it allows to transform or to adapt even the traditional loudspeakers provided with a metal basket, not designed in view of an automatic assembly, into the type of quick connection wich is the subject matter of this invention.
  • the annular body (1) is provided along its peripheral edge with slanted or spiral flanges (3) which, during the assembly, get first in alignment relation with as many openings (4) obtained along edge (33) of the through hole (5) of seat (6) constituting the housing of a loudspeaker (7), and get afterwards in an engagement relation with parts (8) of the same seat, through a partial rotation of the same annular body (1).
  • a loudspeaker (7) provided with its own annular body (1), either integral or rigidly mounted, gets in engagement and connection relation with a seat (6) by means of an axial coupling of flanges (3) with the corresponding openings (4) and a following partial rotation which causes said flanges to bayonet-fit into the walls of edge (8) of said seat.
  • Seat (6), prepared to house loudspeaker (7) may be, for instance, either integral with or mounted on the car plates, such as those constituting the structure of the doors or other parts, or the parts from plastic material or the like constituting the accessory pockets or the back parts.
  • Such seat (6) is preferably so shaped as to create a tile (9) acting as a water-barrier, preventing in this way the need of adding an external element to the structures.
  • connection system has been so designed as to allow an automatic assembly, with no need for screws or other additional fasteners, which may be carried out either by hand by an operator, or mechanically through a robot (10).
  • the mechanized connection system may be provided with dedicated assembly fitting means obtained on the front protection cover (11), which is removed by the same manipulator at the end of the assembly operation. This does not prevent the system from having one or several suitable assembly fitting means at any other point of the above component.
  • connection assures a perfect flushness of the front part (42) of loudspeaker (7), thanks to the uniformity of the bearing on the fixed peripheral annular body (12), possibly realized from elastic material, the traction force being uniformly distributed across the bearing outer area, because of the absence of screws or the like, which, on the contrary, concentrate big stresses on individual points.
  • This solution ensures less operation criticity and the anchoring of the loudspeakers in the heaviest point, corresponding to zone (2) of the magnet unit, ensuring the absence of projecting weights.
  • This last condition is very important for the absorbtion and/or capacity of supporting shocks, even violent, as happens when one closes the doors, or the like.
  • lid (11) if not removed, prevents the assembly of the finishing cover of the loudspeaker, as special interference zones have been created between the two parts on said lid.
  • the elastic tangs (13) can be frontally unhooked from their seats (21) to allow the possible disassembly operations.
  • the annular body (13) besides the already expounded characteristics, comprises a periferal end piece (14) on which a stirrup (15) engages which comprises the electric contacts (16) of loudspeaker (7).
  • stirrup (15) is caused to enter the central hole (5) of seat (6); after which, in the sequential closing rotation (15), also stirrup (15) rotates until it gets in adherence relation with a second stirrup (18) located on an end piece (19) which originates from the surface of seat (6).
  • Electric contacts (20) are provided also on stirrup (18), which connect with the wires of the radio system.
  • the adherence between stirrups (15) and (18) causes also the adherence of the electric contacts (16) and (20), which close the whole circuit.
  • the floating contact connection is suitable to accept the two movements which take place during the assembly operation.
  • an additional contact is provided for the end-of-assembly electric functional control, by which it is possible to test directly the correctness of the assembly-electric connection operation.
  • the quick connection for loudspeakers comprises, besides the above cylindrical annular body (1), a continuous peripheral front band (23).
  • the annular body (1) and the peripheral band (23) are integral to one another and connect coaxially through an intermediate truncated-cone-shaped structure (24), which can substantially replace the restraint basket of the acoustic diffusion cone utilized by the current art.
  • annular body (1) connects, as said, to the back part (2) of a loudspeaker (7)
  • the front peripheral part (27) of said band (23) engages with the front strip (28) of the diffusion cone (29) of said loudspeaker (7).
  • the peripheral slanted or spiral flanges (3) are always present, and said body configurated as described above constitutes always the real loadbearing structure of all the parts contituting the loudspeaker (7) and the means by which said loudspeaker is connectable to a structure (110).
  • the spiral flanges (3) get in alignment relation with as many openings (4), which afterwards get in engagement and connection relation with walls (8) of edge (33) of hole (5) by a partial rotation of the basket.
  • the spiral of flanges (3) produces a pressure-closing of the bayonet-fitting type.
  • the connecting flanges or teeth (3) may be obtained directly on the peripheral part of the magnet unit (2).
  • the configuration of the central body (1) will be obviously without the annular part supporting teeth (3), being limited to the part connected to the magnet unit (2).
  • the corresponding coupling hole (5) obtained on structure (110) will be adequate to the configuration of said magnet unit provided with teeth (3).
  • the lower edge (26) may be flat or blade-beveled or also it may comprise an elastic gasket (38).
  • the lower edge (26), with or without gasket (38) engages along all of its development against said wall (27) of support (110), and constitutes an elastic lock of the quick connection.
  • Said lock prevents the onset of possible vibrations and/or the so-called acoustic short-circuits; namely, it prevents the air stressed by the back part of the membrane from interferring with the air stressed by the front part of the same, avoiding phenomena of cancellation of the acoustic signals generated or the formation of interferences that might alterate said signals.
  • the continuous peripheral front band (23) with the associated lower edge (26) has also the function of protecting the membrane of loudspeaker (7), the diffusion cone (29) and the electric contacts (16) (20), which are preferably, but not limitatively, obtained on stirrups (30) and (31) located, respectively, on the middle structure (24) of the quick connection and on wall (27) of the fixed support (110).
  • contacts (16) (20) get in touch and engage with one another, connecting electrically and allowing the system to operate.
  • loudspeaker (7) as a whole is completed by a front cover (32), which engages, through peripheral teeth (33), along the circumferential front seat (34) of the peripheral band (23). Also the connection of cover (32) with band (23) is substantially of the bayonet type, with axial alignment and subsequent rotation.
  • cover (32) is removable by counter-rotation and axial slipping off.
  • a finishing trim or grid (32') may be applied in the same seat and with the same rotation system, which trim or grid has a diameter greater than the system, forming a ledge relatively to the door panel of vehicles or the like.
  • Such grid is integral with the system or applied subsequently.
  • the quick connection has a further advantage in that loudspeaker (7) inside it is more uniformely supported, both in the front and the back part, contrary to the present configurations.
  • the quick connection may be of the universal type with respect to holes (5) to be made in the structure.
  • said holes may be standardized, simplifying the moulding operations of supports (110), such as the doors of vehicles or the like.
  • the back part of the connection is realized with standard external dimensions, while the middle and front part are realized with dimensions suitable for the restraint of the various models and/or types of loudspeakers.
  • the so designed quick connection comprising the small pin (13) and the electric connections (16), ensures a perfect and quick assembly of the whole, excluding possible human errors during the assembly stages.
