  In view of the above background, it is important to regenerate a signal from a television or the like as more powerful voice / sound and to improve the strength as a gantry. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gantry that can satisfy such a demand, and in particular, a gantry that can simultaneously expand the bass reproduction range as sound and improve the strength as a gantry.

As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have completed the present invention as follows.
(1) A pedestal having a pedestal on which an article can be placed. The pedestal has a plurality of speakers incorporated therein, and has at least two vertical support plates for partitioning the internal space of the pedestal. A pedestal with a speaker, wherein at least a part of the space partitioned by bisects constitutes a duct having an opening to the outside of the pedestal, and at least one speaker is incorporated into the pedestal and directed to the duct.
(2) The pedestal with a speaker according to (1), wherein the pedestal is partitioned into an upper region and a lower region, and one side surface of the upper region is configured by a panel in which a plurality of speakers are incorporated, and the support plate is provided in the lower region.
(3) The speaker-equipped pedestal according to (2), wherein a speaker incorporated in the pedestal is in an upper region and is directed vertically downward.
(4) The speaker-equipped pedestal according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein the speaker incorporated in the pedestal is a subwoofer.
(5) The pedestal with a speaker according to any one of (1) to (4) for mounting a television.

  According to the present invention, since the partition wall of the front duct of at least one speaker also plays a role of supporting the weight of the article placed on the gantry, it is possible to improve the strength of the gantry and increase the volume of the front duct. it can. As a result, there is also an effect of expanding the voice / sound band reproduced from the speaker. In particular, when a subwoofer is incorporated inside the pedestal, the bass reproduction range is expanded, so that powerful sounds can be reproduced.

It is a schematic diagram of the mount frame of this invention. FIG. 1A is a front view, and an X-X ′ sectional view thereof is FIG. It is a schematic cross section of the gantry of the present invention. It is a schematic cross section of the gantry of the present invention. It is a model front view of the mount frame of this invention. It is a model front view of the conventional mount frame. It is a model front view of the conventional mount frame.

  According to the present invention, the gantry has a pedestal, and a plurality of speakers are incorporated in the pedestal, at least one of which is incorporated in the pedestal. A specific form of duct is formed on the pedestal, and the speaker built into the pedestal is directed to the duct. Such a duct to which the speaker is directed is called a front duct. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a gantry according to the present invention. FIG. 1A is a front view, and an X-X ′ sectional view thereof is FIG. In the drawing, a leader line with an arrow indicates that there is a space, and a leader line without an arrow indicates that some member is present.

  The gantry 1 has a pedestal configured so that an article can be placed thereon. As in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the pedestal may be supported by casters 31. The pedestal is generally rectangular parallelepiped, but is not particularly limited. There is usually a top plate 27 on the top of the pedestal, and an article such as a television is placed on the top plate. Four speakers are incorporated in the gantry 1 shown in FIG. Among them, the three speakers 21, 22, and 23 are incorporated in the front surface of the pedestal so as to face the outside of the gantry 1. The other speaker 26 is not exposed to the outside of the gantry 1 but is disposed inside the pedestal. The speaker 26 is directed to the duct 100 vertically below. In this specification, “directing the speaker” means arranging the speaker so that the sound / audio output from the speaker is directed in a specific direction.

  The pedestal is provided with a plurality of vertical support plates. If the support plate has a structure that supports the weight of an article such as a television set on the pedestal, it does not have to extend over the entire vertical direction of the pedestal. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, support plates 11, 12, 13, and 14 are provided, and these are present only in the lower region 10 of the pedestal. The support plates 13 and 14 also serve as side surfaces of the gantry 1. The region sandwiched between the support plate 11 and the support plate 12 constitutes a duct 100 that opens toward the front of the gantry. Here, the duct refers to a space portion that communicates from the inside of the pedestal to the outside of the pedestal. The region also serves as the front duct 100 of the speaker 26. In other words, the speaker 26 is provided about half of the gantry 1 in the depth direction from the front, and the sound pressure emitted from the speaker 26 is resonated inside the duct 100 to be enhanced and emitted from the front opening. It is done.

  The speaker installed inside the pedestal is preferably oriented outside the pedestal. In the aspect of FIG. 1, the speaker 26 does not face the outside of the gantry 1 but faces the front duct 100. By doing so, resonance in the internal space of the front duct 100 is likely to occur, and sound enhancement becomes more effective. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 1B, a rear bass reflex duct 103 is provided on the back side of the gantry 1.

  The internal space (duct 100) to which the speaker 26 is directed is partitioned by the support plates 11 and 12 partitioning the internal space of the pedestal. The support plates 11 and 12 simultaneously support the pedestal in the vertical direction. With such a configuration, the structural strength of the gantry 1 can be improved, and at the same time, the sound from the speaker 26 incorporated in the gantry 1 can be enhanced.

  It is not necessary to arrange the speakers in all the spaces defined by the plurality of support plates. For example, in the aspect of FIG. 1, between the support | pillar board 13 and the support | pillar board 11 is the accommodating part 101, and the speaker is not integrated. The storage unit may be further partitioned by a shelf board 15 or the like.

  The speaker installed inside the pedestal is preferably a subwoofer. A subwoofer is a speaker that mainly handles the low frequency range that the main speaker cannot reproduce sufficiently. The subwoofer is preferably responsible for reproducing sound of 20 Hz to 200 Hz, especially 20 Hz to 150 Hz. As for the bass, it is expected to emit a more powerful bass by resonating in the internal space described above.

  Preferably, the gantry 1 is partitioned into an upper region 20 and a lower region 10. The upper region is mainly a region for incorporating speakers, and one side surface thereof (usually the front side) is constituted by a panel incorporating a plurality of speakers. Preferably, the speaker incorporated in the panel faces the outside of the gantry 1. In the embodiment of FIG. 1A, the front surface of the upper region 20 is constituted by a panel 24 in which three speakers 21, 22, and 23 are incorporated.

  The lower area 10 is an area mainly used as a storage space. The lower column 10 is provided with the above-described support plate in the vertical direction. The duct formed by the internal space partitioned by the support plates is also preferably in the lower region. In the aspect of FIG. 1, an opening of the front duct 100 is provided in front of the lower region, and an opening of the storage unit 101 is also provided.

  Preferably, the speaker incorporated within the pedestal is incorporated within the upper region of the pedestal. Preferably, the speaker incorporated in the pedestal is directed vertically downward. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the speaker 26 incorporated in the internal space is in the upper region 20 and faces downward. As a result, the volume of the lower region 10 with a large space can be effectively used to achieve voice / sound resonance, and a powerful sound output can be created.

  According to another embodiment of the present invention, the opening of the bass reflex duct may be in front of the pedestal. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a gantry according to another embodiment of the present invention. The left side of the page is the front direction of this mount. In this form, there is a bass reflex duct 103 that continues from the back side of a speaker 26 (preferably a subwoofer) incorporated in the upper region 20 of the pedestal, through the lower region 10 to the opening in the front of the pedestal. Also in this embodiment, the speaker 26 inside the pedestal is directed to the duct 100 configured by a space portion partitioned by a support plate (not shown).

  According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, the duct facing the speaker built into the pedestal may have openings on both the front and back of the pedestal. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a gantry according to still another embodiment of the present invention. The left side of the page is the front direction of this mount. In this embodiment, a speaker 26 (preferably a subwoofer) built into the pedestal is in the upper region 20 and faces vertically downward. In the lower region 10, an internal space partitioned by a column plate (not shown) forms a duct, and the duct has an opening 104 on the front side of the gantry and an opening 105 on the back surface. Since the speaker 26 is directed to this duct, this duct is a front duct.

  There may be a plurality of speakers built into the pedestal. There may be a plurality of front ducts formed by the space defined by the support plates. FIG. 4 is a schematic front view of a gantry according to still another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, there are two speakers (not shown) attached to the inside of the pedestal, and are in the upper region 20 near the left and right ends when viewed from the front. A front duct 100 corresponding to these two speakers is configured, and openings are present at both left and right ends of the front surface of the gantry 2.

  According to the present invention, it is mainly assumed that a device for sound / sound reproduction is placed on the gantry, and is particularly preferably used as a TV stand.
