Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a field of speaker system, and more particularly to a rotation joint for conjoining two stacked speakers of a satellite speaker system.
- A common multiple-slots audio system generally includes multiple loudspeakers. An example of a modern speaker suite is a multi-slot 5.1 slot speaker system comprising six separate speakers (or electroacoustic transducers) namely: a center speaker, front left speaker, front right speaker, rear left speaker, rear right speaker, and a subwoofer speaker. The center, front left, front right, rear left, and rear right speakers (commonly referred to as satellite speakers) of such systems generally provide moderate to high frequency sound waves, and the subwoofer provides low frequency sound waves.
- Recently, a rotation satellite speaker system is starting to be introduced into the audio industry for enhancing the sound field and surround effect. So-called rotation satellite speaker system includes two speakers, an upper and a lower speaker stacked together. For instance, Macally IceTune is such a rotation satellite speaker system which is compatible with many different audio systems, such as MP3, CD players, desktop computers and laptops, etc. The upper and lower speakers are coupled by a rotation joint to enable the two speakers to rotate about a common vertical axis with respective to the each other.
- Most of conventional rotation joints are composed of a bottom unit mounted on a top of the lower speaker, and a top unit mounted on a bottom of the upper speaker, The bottom unit of the lower speaker is rotatably coupled with the top unit of the upper speaker by means of various mechanism, such as some metal parts and/or screws etc. Due to the cosmetic and structure issue, the conventional rotation joints are usually expensive and difficult to manufacture. As the bottom and top units of the convention joint are not interchangeable, the upper and lower speakers are non-interchangeable either. Even the upper and lower speakers of the rotation satellite speaker system is detachable, some mechanical parts, such as metal parts and/or screw locking means are always difficult to be disassembled. These kinds of issues make the cosmetic design and production costs up a lot. It is also inconvenient to assemble/disassemble the two speakers using the conventional rotation joints.
- Therefore an improved speaker rotation joint is desirable to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks.
- One aspect of the present invention is to provide a rotation joint for conjoining two stacked speakers for rotational satellite speaker system, particularly to provide a joint which is easy to be assembled and disassembled with the speaker system and made at low cost.
- The rotation joint according to the present invention comprises a first base and a second base, the first base being integrally formed with a first fixing plate and a first connecting means, and the second base being integrally formed with a second fixing plate and a second connecting means, wherein the first and second fixing plates are extending parallelly in perpendicular to a common rotation axis of the joint and the satellite speaker system, the first connecting means are rotatably engaged with the second connecting means, which is characterized is that the first and second bases are respectively received in corresponding receiving spaces defined in upper and lower end surfaces of the two stacked speakers and, the first and second fixing plates are detachably inserted into corresponding fixing slots defined in side surfaces of the receiving spaces.
- Advantageously, the joint can be made in at cost, and assembled easily with the satellite speaker system, due to its single mold and simple structure.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, the first and second fixing plates inserted into the corresponding fixing slots of the two stacked speakers are retained in the corresponding fixing slots by first and second retaining means formed on the first and second bases in respective. The first and second retaining means are resilient plates having first ends connecting with the first and second bases and second ends extending parallelly outwards from the first and second bases, each one being formed with a locking stopper for preventing the base from escaping away from the corresponding receiving spaces.
- Advantageously, the joint can be retained by the retaining means when it is assembled, and easily disassembled by pressing inwardly free ends of the resilient retaining means so as to allow the first and second bases to be disassembled from the receiving spaces and the fixing slots.
- According to a further aspect of the present invention, the first fixing plate of the first base is formed in a shape identical to the shape of the second fixing plate of the second base, so that the first and second bases are interchangeable.
- According to yet another aspect of the present invention, the first connecting means forms a cylinder member extending downwardly from the first base and having multiple spaced fastening legs formed there-around, each fastening leg having a barb formed at a lower end thereof. The second connecting means has a hole defined in the centre thereof to receive the cylinder of the first connecting means to be rotatably fitted therein, and a flange formed around an internal side surface of the hole. Advantageously the barbs of the fastening legs of the first connecting means are retained by the flange in the hole of the second connecting means so as to prevent the second connecting means from escaping away from the first connecting means.
- According to still another aspect of the present invention, a cushion is provided outside around the cylinder member and sandwiched between the first base and second base, so as to advantageously benefit fitting stability and operation reliability of the speaker system conjoined by means of the inventive rotation joint.
