Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a speaker mounting member used for mounting an external speaker to an electronic device such as a television receiver or a personal computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some electronic devices, such as a television receiver and a personal computer, have an external speaker as an option. Conventionally, when an external speaker is attached to such an electronic device, the external speaker is directly mounted on the floor, or is mounted on a speaker mounting table for mounting the speaker mounted on the floor. The way has been taken.

[0003]

However, if an external speaker is mounted on the floor as it is, a floor area is required for the external speaker. In addition, in a television receiver mounted on a dedicated stand or the like, the height of the screen and the size of the speaker are reduced. In order to match the height, the speaker must be as tall as the height of the above-mentioned stand, and a speaker with a low height cannot be used.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to mount an external speaker of an electronic device such as a television receiver or a personal computer without increasing the floor area, and to mount an inexpensive speaker capable of reducing the size of the external speaker. It is to provide a member.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a speaker mounting member for mounting an external speaker to an electronic device, wherein the vertical portion extends substantially vertically, and a position above and below the vertical portion. And two support plates projecting in opposite directions from each other.

In this configuration, when an electronic device such as a television receiver or a personal computer is mounted on a lower support plate among support plates protruding in opposite directions from positions above and below the vertical portion, the television image is received. An external speaker can be mounted on a support plate positioned above the side surface of the machine so that the vertical portion is fitted. In this case, when using a table on which the electronic device is to be mounted, the lower support plate is sandwiched and fixed between the upper surface of the table and the bottom surface of the electronic device. It does not become unstable even if an external speaker is mounted. Even when a stand is not used, a support plate located below is sandwiched and fixed between the floor surface and the bottom surface of the electronic device. Therefore, even if there is no floor area for mounting the speaker or the speaker mounting table, an external speaker can be attached if there is a space of the size of the speaker on the side of the electronic device. Further, since the speaker is mounted on the support plate located above, a speaker having a low height can be used.

The present invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that one of the support plates has a concave portion or a hole at a tip end.

In this configuration, after the support plate located above the two speaker mounting members is placed on the upper surface of the electronic device and mounted on both sides thereof, the space between the concave portions or the holes is formed by elasticity such as a string or a rubber band. By connecting with a member having a certain height, the vertical portion can be stabilized by sandwiching the side surface of the electronic device, and there is no instability even when the external speaker is placed on the support plate located below. Further, the external speaker can be attached so as to hang on a support plate located below, and in this case, the external speaker does not become unstable.
