  • Patent number: 11496818
    Abstract: A mount, mount assembly, and speaker mount. That includes: a mount body with flange; a tower assembly including: a trigger, a dog; a bias member biasing the dog towards the mount body; a path guide guiding the dog along the tower assembly. The path guide allows/forces the dog to be oriented according to: a first orientation wherein the foot is pointed directly towards the mount body and substantially aligned with the tower assembly, and a second orientation wherein the foot is not so pointed and aligned such that the toot does interfere with travel of the mount through an aperture when the dog is in a second position that is spaced closer to the mount body than the first position. The dog changes between positions by operation of the bias member and not by a screw.

  • Patent number: 11425478
    Abstract: There is a speaker mount, comprising: a flange; a support member coupled to the flange and having an elevated region spaced therefrom and a closer region closer to the flange than the elevated region, the closer region including a mating structure; and a tab assembly movably coupled to the support member. The tab assembly including: a tab; a coupling member that couples to the mating structure of the support member; and a spacing mechanism coupled to each of the tab and the coupling member that selectably changes an effective spacing between the tab and the coupling member such that the change in effective spacing results in a change in effective distance between the tab and the flange.
