Abstract:
Described is a loudspeaker enclosure arrangement that reduces, by a large degree, internal acoustic reflections, enclosure vibrations, and diffraction off the surfaces and edges of the loudspeaker enclosure. The loudspeaker exterior surfaces and edges are covered with acoustic damping foam. The enclosure is shaped to dissipate sound waves within the enclosure, rather than allowing the sound waves to reflect off its walls. To achieve the objects set forth above, the design comprises a loudspeaker in which the exterior of the side walls are prevented from communicating interfering sound by the placement of exterior sound-damping foam blocks. The design also comprises a loudspeaker enclosure that has a triangular horizontal cross section. Internal sound waves diminish toward the distal point of the enclosure and are not reflected forwardly.
Abstract:
A container for storing disc-like storage media is disclosed. The container for storing disc-like storage media includes a back cover and a turntable. The back cover has a front opening. The turntable has a substantially planar front side and a fan-shaped back side. The fan-shaped back side includes multiple storage grooves radially distributed around the fan-shaped back side. Each of the storage grooves is capable of receiving a substantially planar storage medium. The turntable is rotatable from a concealed position in which the fan-shaped back side is concealed within the back cover to an exposed position in which the fan-shaped back side is at least partially extends outside of the back cover.
Abstract:
A mounting system for mounting an object includes a plurality of framing members having a body portion and depending side walls, with at least one continuous slot running along the length of the framing member. A plurality of connecting pieces connect adjacent framing members. The connecting pieces each have a first and second portion interconnected at an angle and in sliding relationship to adjacent framing members. A plurality of inner cornerpieces each having a first and second section at angles to each other have an inner non-slip surface. A corner cover connects to adjacent framing members to cover an underlying connecting piece. A cable extends through slots in the framing member to contract the frame securely and firmly about a mounted object.
Abstract:
A portable utility stand for computer equipment and the like is disclosed which comprises a cabinet having a front, rear, and sides. A main compartment is disposed in a lower part of the cabinet and an auxiliary compartment is disposed in an upper part of the cabinet above the main compartment. A support tray assembly is carried in the auxiliary compartment which includes a slidable base. A utility tray for supporting a keyboard rotatably is carried by the slidable base so that the tray rotates on the base. The utility tray has a stored position wherein the tray and base are generally longitudinally aligned and are received longitudinally in the auxiliary compartment, and an operational position wherein the tray is withdrawn from the compartment and oriented at a desired angle relative to the base for keyboard operation.
Abstract:
A storage unit for disks includes a first end member, a second end member disposed in a parallel relationship with respect to the first end member. An extension mechanism having a series of interconnected members is connected between the first and second end members and co-operates with them to maintain the parallel interrelationship as the members are moved toward or away from one another. A connected array of pockets extends between the end members. Opposite end ones of the pockets are attached to a respective one of the end members. Each pocket is adapted to receive at least a portion of a disk. There are more pockets than there are interconnected members in the extension mechanism.
Abstract:
In the case where the cabinet has many long segments, it takes a long period of time until they are cooled in a die. In addition, looseness was produced between the board and the guide rail due to a presence of pulling taper and this looseness became a cause of generating vibrating sound. There are constituted integral molded guide rails integrally molded with the casing to support the front end of the board when the board is stored in a casing along a predetermined wall surface, and a board holder constituted as a separate component from the integral molded guide rail, capable of sliding the board and inserting it. Accordingly, it is not necessary to oppositely face a long rail having the substantial same length as that of the board as the integral molded guide rail and so a speed in which the molded product is cooled in a die is made fast. Further, since the board holder is a separate component element, looseness between the board and the guide rail can be easily reduced.
Abstract:
A computer enclosure includes a cage (10), a small drive bracket (30), and a cover (80). The cage includes a front panel (12) and a side panel (14). The front panel is rearwardly stamped to integrally form a vertical plate (122) opposing the side panel. The vertical plate and the side panel each form two locking members (132, 142). The small drive bracket includes two flanges (40, 46), each defining two locking cutouts (42, 48). A horizontal plate (60) is secured on the small drive bracket. The combined small drive bracket and horizontal plate is attached within the cage, with the locking members engaging in the corresponding locking cutouts. The horizontal plate is connected between a bottom portion of the vertical plate and the side panel. The combined vertical plate, side panel and horizontal plate cooperatively constitute a large drive bracket (70). The cover is attached to the cage.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to loudspeaker cabinets composed of a moldable wood material and a method for making the same. In particular, the present invention relates to loudspeaker cabinets composed of a compression molded cellulose (CMC) material resulting in a cabinet for loudspeakers with improved acoustic and physical properties. In accordance with the present invention, a compression molded cellulose material, and a process for the mixing, extrusion, and compression molding of the compression molded cellulose material has been developed. Cabinet designs with rounded forms are made possible using the compression molded cellulose material and process. The characteristics of the compression molded cellulose material in combination with the unique shape of each cabinet is designed to enhance the fidelity of the sound produced by the loudspeaker mounted in the cabinet.
Abstract:
CD player apparatus comprising a case having a front opening and side walls, and a slider in the case to carry a CD or DVD, and forwardly movable toward and partly through the front opening; a release at one side wall to be actuated to release the slider for forward movement relative to the front opening; an arm at the outer side of the side wall and supported to pivot toward and away from the release; and an actuator carried by the arm to be manually moved to pivot the arm toward the release to activate the release, whereby the slider can then move forward relative to the front opening.
Abstract:
An improved structure of speaker cabinet comprising a housing opened on one side thereof, and comprising a front panel, wherein, a plurality of intermediate speakers can be held firm and get increased connecting strength when the front panel is integrally connected with the housing to thereby offset the frontward and rearward thrusts of the speakers. Moreover, a plurality of hollow posts located at the positions in correspondence with those of the connecting areas of the speakers to the cabinet can be filled therein with vibration absorbing material in order to reduce vibration at the earliest time. Such a design not only can reduce volume and weight of the cabinet, but also can improve sound quality and provide a hidden port to improve beauty and waterproofing effect of the cabinet.
