Patent number: 8422722Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2009Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Three Amigos LLCInventors: Ronald D. Maurer, Sean P. McDermott, Richard P. Apgar

Patent number: 8259980Abstract: 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°.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2008Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Three Amigos LLCInventors: Ronald D. Maurer, Sean P.

Patent number: 8229155Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2009Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Three Amigos LLCInventors: Ronald D. Maurer, Sean P. McDermott, Richard P. Apgar

Patent number: 5221069Abstract: A telescoping support bracket for providing convenient installation of wall mounted speakers and the like comprises a body attachable to an architectural structure such as a wall or ceiling and a telescoping member slidably movable relative to the body to which a bezel may be attached. The bezel is configured to receive and attach the desired component. Movement of the telescoping member relative to the body provides depth adjustment to compensate for varying wall covering thickness such that a desired surface of the component may be mounted flush with the outside surface of the architectural structure. Thus, a speaker, for example, may be quickly mounted with the grill flush to the outside surface of a wall. The telescoping mount bracket of the present invention thereby eliminates the need to perform a custom installation wherein custom brackets and/or other fixtures must typically be fabricated.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1992Date of Patent: June 22, 1993Assignee: Dana InnovationsInventors: Scott Struthers, William J.
