  • Publication number: 20240114287
    Abstract: A device including a speaker and a housing, in which the speaker is configured to generate sound and includes a diaphragm and the housing encloses the speaker and includes a plurality of openings within one portion of the housing. The speaker is positioned within the housing to define a front chamber between the diaphragm and the one portion, and the plurality of openings are sized to collectively generate, with the front chamber, an increased output of the device within a frequency range of an output of the speaker corresponding to an alarm tone. Also provided are methods for assembling a device including a speaker and a housing.

  • Patent number: 11941973
    Abstract: A doorbell including a housing and mount that can be engaged such that the housing is pivotable or otherwise movable relative to the mount for engagement with the mount and/or for activation of a doorbell switch. A latch can secure the housing to the mount so the housing is secured to the mount. A switch located in a space defined by the housing and mount can be actuated based on movement of the housing relative to the mount.

  • Publication number: 20220270450
    Abstract: An illuminated indicator for a doorbell can be arranged to receive light along an optical axis (e.g., that is perpendicular to a front face of the doorbell housing) and emit the light from an output portion that defines a closed loop (e.g., that extends around the optical axis) and in a direction that is parallel to the optical axis. The illuminated indicator can include a light pipe that receives light along the optical axis and reflects the light to follow a radially outward and divergent path, e.g., that is perpendicular to the optical axis. The radially outward and divergent light can be reflected to follow a path that is parallel to the optical axis for emission at an output portion of the light pipe. The light pipe can be configured to transmit a doorbell switch activation force to other parts of the doorbell to cause actuation of the switch.
