  • Component for draining off water from the speakers of a waterproof electronic device
    Patent number: 11134323
    Abstract: A shaped component made of technical fabric for protection of the speakers of electronic devices with waterproofing characteristics of IPx7 degree or higher, which have water-tight speakers. In addition to the function of protection from solid particles, the invention is optimised for guaranteeing fast and efficient draining-off of the water that has penetrated into the water-tight speaker so as to recover as fast as possible the initial acoustic functionality, in an improved way as compared to the solutions currently available. The component according to the present invention comprises within it one or more openings covered by synthetic technical fabric with hydrophilic treatment, to guarantee rapid exit of the water that has entered the speaker module, and one or more openings covered by synthetic technical fabric with hydrophobic treatment, to favour entry of air into the volume in front of the speaker, thus ensuring proper emptying thereof.
