Abstract

A flangeless mounting system, suitable for in-wall speakers and other components, includes a panel that is finished to provide at least a superficially continuous junction between the edges of the panel and the surrounding wall, ceiling, or other structure. A rim advantageously extends outwardly from a first surface of the panel by a small distance, which in currently preferred embodiments is about 1/16th inch to 1/8th inch. A collar is preferably installed about the inner edge of the opening, and a receiver is attached to the collar or directly to the panel. Magnetic, threaded, detent, and frictional means are contemplated for maintaining the component in position relative to the receiver.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 18 October 2008 (18.10.08).
] . (currently amended) A method, of flush-mounting a component to a substantially flat structure of a building, comprising: providing an assembly having a panel with un opening that extends from a front side to a back side, and a receiver coupled to the panel; approximating an edge of the assembly-panel to an edge of the structure, and establishing an at least superficially continuous junction between the edges; inserting the component into the opening from the front side; and seating the component to the assembly,
2 (previously presented) The method of claim 1, wherein the structure is selected from the group consisting of a fibcrboard wall and a plasterboard wall.
3. (previously presented) The method of claim I, wherein the structure comprises a masonry wall.
4. (previously presented) The method of claim ] , wherein the structure comprises a ceiling.
5. (previously presented) The method of claim 1 , wherein the structure comprises a ceiling tile.
6. (previously presented) The method of claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises a materia] having a composition similar to that of the structure.
7. (currently amended) The method of claim 1, wherein the panel comprises at least one of a polymer, a plaster, and a wood.
H. (previously presented) The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of finishing comprises at least one of taping and plastering over the junction.
9. (previously presented) The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of .seating compr ises positioning a detent relative to a biasing member.
10. (previously presented) The method of claim 1, wherein the step of scaling comprises manipulating a threaded member.
11. (previously presented) The method of claim 1, wherein the step of seating comprises establishing a magnetic attraction between the component and the receiver.
12. (previously presented )The method of claim 1, wherein the step of sealing comprises establishing a frictional relationship between the component and the receiver.
