RADIO REC IVER CONTROL Filed July 11, 1956 I E i L000 s am m Mfll/IVIED L i E wm/m HOUSING ATTORN EY Patented Aug. 30, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE RADIO RECEIVER CONTROL Paul Peeck, Benno Johannesson, and
Eduard Germany Application July 11, 1936, Serial No. 90,062 In Germany August 14, 1935 1 Claim.
In the hitherto known receivers, the apparatus has been usually placed on a table or stand. This has various disadvantages, for instance, the receivers are readily exposed to damage (for 5 instance when cleaning the room etc.) or interfere when there is insuificient room available, furthermore the handling is rendered inconvenient in that the hearer has diificulties in reaching the apparatus from his seat in order to tune it.
It is the purpose of the invention to eliminate the said disadvantages and to provide a receiver not exposed to exterior damage, requiring a small space, and which can still be conveniently tuned by the hearer while placed at an acoustically favorable place in the room. This is accomplished in accordance with the invention, in that the apparatus is suspended i. e. mounted underneath the ceiling or at another suitable place.
The figure of the drawing shows the receiver combined for instance with an overhead illumination fixture. The actual housing I may consist of wood or artistically designed from another suitable material. The illumination means 2 may for instance be arranged at the sides thereof, while in the interior of the housing for instance at 3, the actual receiver chassis is mounted. This may for instance be so arranged that the shafts for the operating knobs extend vertically downwards, while being adapted to be lengthened by means of suspended rods 4. In this way, it is possible to operate the apparatus by means of the rotatable knobs 5 provided at the lower ends of the rods. In order that the suspended rods when pushed upwards.
not in use be not in the way and do not require space, it is proposed to arrange them in the manner of a telescope whereby they can be The loudspeaker of the receiver is likewise disposed within the housing I. In this way, a favorable sound distribution is obtained in that for instance the apparatus may be arranged at an acoustically favorable place underneath the ceiling, whereby the chair placed underneath may serve for seating the hearer.
The control of the operating means of the apparatus may also be carried out in various other ways, such as using a flexible shaft extending directly downwards, or laterally or concealed 15 in the masonry, and brought to the readily accessible place of control.
Having described our invention, what we claim as novel and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A radio installation comprising the combina- 20 tion of a housing having a flat base adapted for securing to the ceiling of a room, a loudspeaker mounted in said housing, a radio chassis having rotatable control elements, a rotatable operating member connected to and depending from each of said control elements the lower ends of said operating members being accessible to an operator on the floor of the room and a plurality of sources of illumination in the walls of said housing for illuminating said housing and operating mem- 3O bers.
