  • Panel mount speaker support system
    Patent number: 5400412
    Abstract: A wall panel mounting speaker unit and bracket therefor, the bracket including a pair of beams for bridging a blind opening of the panel, the beams being connected by screws to a housing of the speaker unit for clamping the panel against a bezel flange of the speaker unit. A pair of foot members are tiltably attached to each beam, the foot members making level contact with the panel regardless of bending deflections of the beams due to clamping forces produced by the screws.

  • Method and apparatus for intermittently depositing particulate material in a substrate and article made therewith
    Patent number: 5156902
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming a zoned distribution of particulate material within a fibrous web includes a conveying mechanism for providing a gas entrained supply of the particulate material and a segregating mechanism for centrifugally directing at least a portion of the particulate material into an accumulation region of the apparatus. A transferring mechanism selectively directs particulate material from the accumulation region into a delivery gas stream to provide an intermittent flow volume of a selected quantity of particulate material from the accumulation region through a delivery conduit and into a web forming chamber. A fiberizing mechanism provides a flow of a selected fibrous material into the web forming chamber, and a directing mechanism controls the intermittent flow of particulate material from the delivery conduit into the forming chamber.
