  • Patent number: 10321212
    Abstract: A loudspeaker array suitable for use in both a compression suspension mode and a flying suspension mode, wherein each two adjacent loudspeakers housings are coupled to each other by coupling means comprising a stationary connection frame, a pivotable connection bar and a connection member; wherein one of the connection frame and bar is provided with a fly mode pulling connection member stop and a compression mode pushing connection member stop which each are arranged to receive and block movement of the connection member in two opposite directions, one being a fly mode direction and one being a compression mode direction, such that blocking the movement of said connection member in the fly mode direction causes the back sides of the loudspeaker housings to exert a pulling force on each other while maintaining a predetermined angle and blocking the movement of said connection member in the compression mode direction causes the back side of said loudspeaker housings to exert a pushing force on each other while

  • Publication number: 20120189420
    Abstract: A coupling system (10, 110) comprising coupling means (11, 111) for coupling at least two loudspeaker housings (2, 102) together, designed to couple the loudspeaker housing (2, 102) in such a manner that the loudspeaker housings (2, 102) will extend at a predetermined angle (3, 103) relative to each other in a hoisted position, further comprising setting means (12, 112) for setting said predetermined angle (3, 103), when the loudspeaker housings (2, 112) are in a non-hoisted, stretched position, wherein the coupling system (10, 110) is further designed for coupling the loudspeaker housings (2, 102) in such a manner that said loudspeaker housings (2, 102), upon being moved from the non-hoisted position to the hoisted position, will move under the influence of gravity from the stretched position to the position in which the loudspeaker housings (2, 102) extend at said pre-determined angle (3, 103).
