Abstract
An easily assembled, portable sound booth comprised of ½″ metal conduit pipe, ¾″ polymer “tees”, ¾″ polymer 3-way “elbows”, ½″ nylon bushings, fastened together using conventional screws, bolts, and lock washers.
Description
- This invention relates to a sound booth that is easily assembled, and also the method in which it is assembled. A sound booth made with ½″ metal conduit, ¾″ polymer “tees”, ¾″ polymer 3-way “elbows”, and ½″ nylon bushings makes up its frame. Fastened together using 6-32×2″ machine screws, 6-32 hex nuts, and #6 lock washers. Lined with a layer of sound foam to control sound waves, and a sound blanket with plastic window to make up its front door.
- Sound booths are used to control sound in an enclosed environment thus creating a more pure and clear sound and eliminating background noises for the user. Until now, sound booths rarely existed in the home. They were always considered to be strictly an item found in large expensive recording studios, and the few sound booths that are available are very expensive and difficult to assemble. These facts made it almost impossible for the average consumer to have the luxury of owning their very own sound booth.
- Prior sound booths patented include the Wasserman, Oppenhiem Sound booth U.S. Pat. No. 3,611,907. This sound booth is described as a Ventilated Portable Structure. Its purpose is to create a portable room where one could work in isolation, and not be distracted by surrounding noises. The problem with this particular apparatus is that it was not designed to record sound, it could not record sound properly because it was not completely enclosed with sound-deadening material and contained multiple windows which would allow sound waves to enter and escape was recording was in progress.
- The Thomas B. White 111 Knock-down Sound Attenuating System U.S. Pat. No. 5,123,874 is an extremely complex system and requires many straps, hinges, nuts, bolts, and coupling gaskets to complete. Also the panels of this structure are made up of more than four types of different materials. The Walter R. Foltz Soundproof Booth U.S. Pat. No. 1,966,288 also contains multiple materials such as wood and padding, each in different sizes and specifications. This booth was designed as a Telephone Booth, and not to record sound, which would be extremely difficult due to its small size.
- In contrast to these previously patented sound structures, my Sound booth invention allows for easy assembly by using conventional ½″ metal conduit, polymer fittings and connectors, ½″ nylon bushings, a layer of soundfoam, and a soundblanket with plastic window for it's front door. All these materials are easily obtainable and affordable making it possible for the average consumer to own their own Sound booth.
- This easy to assemble portable Sound booth consists of a frame constructed of ½″ metal conduit, ¾″ polymer “tees”, ¾″ polymer 3-way “elbows”, ½″ nylon bushings, for it's framework, fastened together by using size 6-32×2″ machine screws, size 6-32 hex nuts, #6 steel lock washers. This Sound booth would have a complete layer of sound-deadening foam on its two side and back panels. And a single sound blanket with plastic window would make up it's front door entrance way.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention and it's simplicity will be apparent from the from the written description and the photos in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the sound booths frame in accordance with the present invention; - FIG. A is an exploded view of how the ¾″ polymer “tees” are used and fastened to the sound booth's frame.
- FIG. B is a partial prospective of how the ¾″ polymer 3-way “elbows” are used and fastened to the sound booth's frame.
- Referring to the photo of
FIG. 1 , an easily assembled portable sound booth that is constructed of ½″ metal conduit (1). The metal conduit (1) is held together by a series of polymer fittings, ¾″ “tees” (2), and ¾″ 3-way “elbows” (3), which are bolted in place with machine screws, hex bolts, and lock washers (4). ½″ nylon bushings are used to ensure a snug fit for connectors when attached to the ½″ metal conduit (5).
Claims (2)
1. An easily assembled, portable sound booth comprised of a frame made up of ½″ metal conduit pipe, ¾″ polymer “tees”, ¾″ polymer 3-way “elbows” ½″ nylon bushings, size 6-32×2″ machine screws, size 6-32 hex nuts, and size #6 steel lock washers.
2. The ability to manufacture the sound booth's in any size, including:
78″ height×48″ width×48″ depth
78″ height×78″ width×48″ depth, and
78″ height×78″ width×78″ depth sizes.
