  • Patent number: 6724904
    Abstract: A mounting assembly for removably supporting a microphone in an operative position and in a manner which will protect the microphone against attenuating high impact phonetic peaks. A plurality of support assemblies are selectively attachable to one another to assume a variety of predetermined individually selectable configurations, wherein each of the predetermined configurations are determinative of a preferred operative orientation of the microphone. The plurality of support assemblies include a microphone support structured, to suspend the microphone in a predetermined orientation; a filter support structured, to adjustably support a filter in a substantially aligned, protective relation to the microphone; and an auxiliary support, structured to be removably and adjustably attached in supporting relation to at least one of said filter or microphone supports.

  • Patent number: 6604602
    Abstract: A novel speaker box system for a deep bass amplification consists of a front trumpet horned speaker cover box and a rear speaker box. The rear speaker box consists of a cylindrical box and a speaker installed at one end of the cylinder. The other side of the speaker box has a hole for electrical wires to the speaker. The front trumpet horned speaker cover box consists of a cylindrical box and a trumpet. The trumpet is attached to one end of the cylindrical box. The center of the trumpet has an air port connecting the inner side of the trumpet box and the open air. The trumpet horned speaker cover box and the speaker box of this invention are assembled in one set by, including but not limited to, a male thread screw carved on the outside of the speaker box and a female thread screw inside of the trumpet box. Those boxes are assembled in one set for a hip-hop or a rap, which needs a deep bass sound.

  • Publication number: 20020014368
    Abstract: A loudspeaker system containing wave-shaping sound chambers with approximately rectangular inlets and outlets of substantially the same size that are used to flatten or control the curvature of the acoustic wavefronts contained within system waveguides. Control of the degree of curvature of the wavefront enables the development of a wide variety of multi-waveguide arrays. The sound chambers are placed between a waveguides and a flattened conical horns of secondary waveguides. The sound chambers transform the curvature of the typical fan shaped wavefront that results from a conical horn throat into a wavefront that approximates a planar or curved rectangular ribbon of sound.

  • Patent number: 5179255
    Abstract: A baseball bat having the functions of resonators and microphones is designed to be hollow and has a receiver cup disposed at its inner top end in such a manner that a spring may be hooked to its bottom while the other end of the spring is hooked to a tuning bar fixed at an end cap fittedly adhered to the bottom end of the bat. Besides, a plurality of sound-amplifying holes are formed on the surface of the bat at proper positions. Whenever the bat is vibrated by external force, the spring inside it shall vibrate accordingly and the sound-wave so produced resonates within the hollow bat which serves as a resonance box. When the sound-wave passes through the sound-amplifying holes on the surface of the bat, a special striking tone shall be produced. Such special tone can be produced either when the bat stikes a ball or when the bat is purposely vibrated or waved. When speaking into the receiver cup, the wave of voice may be amplified through the resonance effect of the hollow bat.

  • Patent number: 5094317
    Abstract: A two-piece megaphone assembly having a conically-shaped member and an ornamental headpiece which attaches by means of interlocking attachment lugs to the large diameter end of the conically-shaped member. The headpiece is comprised of two symmetrical halves which fold clamshell-like around the conically-shaped member and snap into place. The headpiece may resemble, for example, an animal or human face having an open mouth.

  • Patent number: 5004067
    Abstract: A cinema sound system for unperforated screens includes for each stereophonic channel a floor positioned direct radiator bass speaker unit radiating into quarter space and an upper frequency speaker unit mounted above the screen. Each upper frequency speaker unit includes a middle frequency driver mounted in a sealed rear enclosure which is attached to the throat of a middle frequency horn. A constant directivity high frequency horn with a high frequency driver attached to a rear end is mounted coaxially in the middle frequency horn. Sharp cutoff active crossover filters divide the input signal into low, middle, and high frequency band signals which are separately power amplified. The middle frequency horn is adapted to function as a direct radiator at a lower end of the middle band and as a sectoral horn above an unloading frequency of the middle frequency horn.

  • Patent number: 4967684
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a warning apparatus with respect to a ski-pole. The warning apparatus is comprised of a device for signaling that does not require the ski-pole to be seen in order for a signal provided by the signaling device to be noticed. The signaling device is in juxtaposition with the ski-pole. Additionally, the warning apparatus is comprised of a device for activating the signaling device. The activating device is in communication with the signaling device. In a preferred embodiment, the activating device includes a device for powering the signaling device and a device for actuating the powering device so the signaling device receives power to produce a signal.

  • Patent number: 4878561
    Abstract: An omnidirectional sound emitter with separate sound sources (1, 2), each comprising a funnel-shaped horn (4), is characterized in that the sound sources (1, 2) are mutually arranged such that the acoustic main axes (6) of the horns (4) lie in essentially one and the same plane (7) and the sound-emitting open ends (8) of the horns are directed towards the central portion of the sound emitter and located at a distance (B.sub.S ; B.sub.D) from one another. Slot-shaped openings (9) are so arranged between the open ends (8) of adjacent horns (4) that sound emitted by the horns is caused to pass in a direction from the sound emitter through the slot-shaped openings (9), thereby to be dispersed through 360.degree. in the said plane (7) such that the sound representation from the sound emitter corresponds to the sound representation from a line source perpendicular to said plane (7).

  • Patent number: 4390078
    Abstract: A loudspeaker horn which provides constant coverage angles in both the horizontal and vertical planes and affords proper driver loading and a smooth impedance curve down to the lowest frequencies of operation. The throat entrance of the horn is round, to match the driver exit hole, and the throat section expands exponentially, with substantially straight and divergent top and bottom walls and curved side walls. The throat section joins to a transition section in which the side walls expand outward at a more rapid rate and a central vane is introduced top to bottom that both maintains an exponential flare rate and divides the transition section into two vertical slits. The length and width of the transition section are determined by the upper limits of the frequency range and the horizontal coverage angle. The transition section joins to the wave guide section which has a substantially planar side walls forming a conical expansion wave guide with side angle equal to the coverage angles of the horn.

  • Patent number: 4187926
    Abstract: A loudspeaker horn has a throat section with a rectangular cross section to which the driver unit is coupled. The throat section has substantially parallel side walls joined together by diverging top and bottom walls. The horn has a rectangular mouth which is formed by a bell section which runs between the throat section and the mouth with an angular divergence corresponding to the desired horn dispersion pattern. If the mouth is made square, equal horizontal and vertical low frequency directivity roll off can be provided. On the other hand, with the speaker of the present invention, various relative horizontal and vertical directivity control can be obtained with different aspect ratios for the mouth. The walls of the bell section may be additionally flared outwardly at a portion thereof near the mouth to provide improved midrange directivity control. The use of planar sides between the throat section and the mouth also makes for an improved directivity pattern.
