  • Patent number: 8422722
    Abstract: An audio speaker assembly is provided with a grill which twist locks with the speaker housing for assembly and disassembly. The housing includes a perimeter edge with a plurality of slots and tab retainers. The grill includes a perimeter edge with a plurality of tabs. The tabs of the grill align with the slots of the housing, and the grill is then rotated so that the tabs under lay the tab retainers so as to lock the grill into securement with the speaker housing. The grill is rotated in the opposite direction to unlock the grill for disassembly.

  • Patent number: 8259980
    Abstract: An adjustable tweeter assembly is provided to allow a tweeter to be directionally oriented to a selected position. The assembly includes a base, a bowl, and a cup, which are nested together so that the bowl is sandwiched between the base and the cup for movement therebetween. The tweeter is mounted in the bowl which can be rotated and pivoted relative to the cup and to the base. A fastener extends through the cup, the bowl, and the base, and through a leaf spring so as to provide a compressive or clamping force between the base, the bowl, and the cup. The tweeter is rotatable 360° and pivotal approximately 90°.

  • Patent number: 8229155
    Abstract: An improved audio speaker assembly is provided for directional adjustability of the woofer or driver. The assembly includes a housing comprising a baffle, a swivel, a swivel cup, and a retainer. The driver is mounted in the swivel. The swivel and swivel cup are mounted between the baffle and the retainer. The swivel is pivotal approximately 60° relative to the swivel cup, and is rotatable 360° relative to the baffle, thereby selectively positioning the driver in a desired direction. A pair of screws extend through the baffle and into the retainer, and can be tightened so as to lock or clamp the swivel and driver in the selected position, and preclude directional movement due to vibrations, temperature, and humidity.
