Abstract

A speaker includes an annular base frame (1), a speaker body (2) mounted on the annular base frame (1) and having a ball socket (22), and a tweeter (3) coupled to the ball socket (22) by a spherical connector (11) and capable of being turned to change its angular position relative to the speaker body.

Description

SPEAKER WITH DIRECTION ADJUSTABLE TWEETER BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to speakers, and more particularly to such a speaker which has a tweeter that can be conveniently adjusted to change its angular position.
In a regular speaker with a tweeter, the tweeter is fixedly mounted at the center of a speaker body and supported on an annular base frame. Because the tweeter is fixedly secured to the speaker body, its angular position is not adjustable. Because the sound wave of high pitch from the tweeter transmits in a linear direction, the user cannot well catch the sound of the tweeter if the tweeter is not aimed at the user.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a speaker with a tweeter which allows the user to adjust the angular position of the tweeter. According to the present invention, the speaker comprises an annular base frame, a speaker body mounted on the annular base frame and having a ball socket, and a tweeter mounted on the speaker body and having a spherical connector at its bottom side forced into engagement with the ball socket and turned therein for permitting the tweeter to be moved to change its angular position relative to the speaker body.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 shows a speaker according to the present invention; Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the present invention; Fig. 3 is a sectional assembly view of the present invention; Fig. 4 is similar to Figure 3 but showing the angular position of the tweeter adjusted; and Fig. 5 is an applied view of the present invention, showing the speaker installed in a motor vehicle, the angular position of the tweeter adjusted.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to Figures from 1 to 3, a speaker in accordance with the present invention comprises an annular base frame 1 having a plurality of equiangularly spaced mounting holes 11, a speaker body 2 mounted on the annular base frame 1, and a tweeter 3 mounted on the speaker body 2 at the center. The speaker body 2 comprises a plurality of equiangularly spaced peripheral lugs 21 with a respective mounting hole 211 respectively fastened to the mounting holes 11 of the annular base frame 1, and a ball socket 22 at the center. The tweeter 3 has a stem 31 downwardly extended from the center of its bottom side and terminating in a spherical connector 11. The spherical connector 11 is forced into engagement with the ball socket 22.
Referring to Figure 4, when the spherical connector 11 is coupled to the ball socket 22, it can be turned with the stem 31 in the ball socket 22 to change the angular position of the tweeter 3 relative to the ball socket 22.
Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 4 again, when the speaker is installed in a motor vehicle, the tweeter 3 can be adjusted to the desired direction. Because the spherical connector 311 fits the ball socket 22, the tweeter 3 is firmly retained in position after each adjustment.
While only one embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be understood that various modifications and changes could be made thereunto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention disclosed.
