Patent number: 10924832Abstract: A combined light and loudspeaker driver device comprising a housing supporting a loudspeaker driver, a heat removal element, electronic components and a light source. The heat removal element includes a column extending along a central longitudinal axis to a base of the housing, to meet a heat sink formed around the central longitudinal axis to the rear of the housing. The light source provides task lighting and is a heat source. It is mounted on a front end of the column distal from the heat sink at the base of the housing, to optimize conduction of heat away from the light source. The housing is generally cup shaped and has side walls. The interior of the side walls is parallel with the central longitudinal axis of the housing over the majority of the rearward depth thereof resulting in a large void behind the loudspeaker diaphragm, leading to improved sound.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Zuma Array LimitedInventors: Susan Cook, Steve Kelly, Morten Warren, Sam James, Seongmin Hwang

Publication number: 20190149902Abstract: A combined light and loudspeaker driver device 10 is suitable for mounting in, for example, a ceiling void. It comprises a housing 15 that supports a loudspeaker driver 20, a heat removal element 120, electronic components 25 and a light source 110. The heat removal element 120 includes a column 120a extending along a central longitudinal axis of the housing 15 to a base of the housing 15, where it meets a heat sink 40 formed around the central longitudinal axis to the rear of the housing 15. The light source 110 provides task lighting and is a source of heat. It is mounted on a front end of the column distal from the heat sink 40 at the base of the housing 15, so as to optimise conduction of heat away from the light source 110. The light source 110 is also positioned radially inwardly of a speaker diaphragm 130 also centred around the central longitudinal axis of the housing 15. The housing 15 is generally cup shaped and has side walls 15a.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: May 16, 2019Inventors: Susan COOK, Steve KELLY, Morten WARREN, Sam Emrys JAMES, Seongmin HWANG
