Waved/corrugated and stepped surface design for speaker box, and method of standardization of speaker box assemblies for television of different screen sizes

摘要

A speaker bracket, speaker baffle, speaker cover, and a method for standardizing speaker box assemblies for television sets having different sized speakers using the bracket, baffle, and cover. A speaker box assembly is provided that includes a speaker cover having a stepped inverted surface. A speaker bracket is also provided. The speaker bracket is then installed onto the speaker cover using a securing member. Then, a surface of the speaker bracket is mated with a speaker bore disposed on a cover of the television set. The method can also include the step of installing the speaker baffle. The speaker bracket can have a stepped inclined surface that is sized to closely fit inside the stepped inverted surface of the speaker cover. If so, the step of installing the speaker bracket onto the speaker cover includes fitting the stepped inclined surface of the bracket with the stepped inverted surface of the speaker cover. To make a close fit, the stepped inverted surface of the bracket is a semi-frustum shaped surface, and the stepped inverted surface of the speaker cover is also a semi-frustum shaped surface. The speaker bracket used in the method can also have a stepped inverted surface. If so, the step of mating a surface of the speaker bracket with a speaker bore includes mating the stepped inverted surface of the speaker bracket with the speaker bore. The speaker cover has an elliptical frustum surface having steps that create an increasing circumference at fixed intervals along a length of the speaker box. The speaker cover further includes grooves that run along the length of the speaker box, perpendicular to the steps. The speaker baffle has a corrugated surface, where corrugations are formed along a length of the surface.
