  • Loudspeaker cone protector
    Patent number: 6651772
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a protector for a loudspeaker cone. The loudspeaker protector (25) comprises: a sheet of flexible material (26), the sheet being bounded by an edge (28); one or more mounting points (36) on the sheet (26), each mounting point (36) being adapted to receive a fixing member (38) through the sheet (26) and being positioned in a peripheral region (56) of the sheet (26); and one or more lines of weakness (50) in the sheet, the sheet (26) being thereby adapted to tear or break preferentially along the lines of weakness (50); in which the lines of weakness (50) separate the peripheral region (56) at each mounting point (36) from a central area (52) of the sheet (26), so that the central area (52) of the sheet may be torn from the peripheral regions (56) after the mounting points (36) have been held down by said fixing members (38).
