Bracket for mounting speaker

Abstract

The present invention provides a bracket for mounting a speaker that allows a speaker to be easily mounted and removed without impairing the acoustic characteristics of the speaker used for a specific use such as car audio equipment, and that can reduce the possibility of the speaker being damaged during mounting or removal. The bracket of the present invention includes a base plate; and a holding portion that is provided on one face of the base plate and can accommodate a part of an edge of a speaker frame of a speaker in a sliding manner.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A bracket for mounting a speaker comprising: 
 a base plate; and    a holding portion that is provided on one face of the base plate and can accommodate a part of an edge of a speaker frame of a speaker in a sliding manner.    
     
     
         2 . The bracket according to  claim 1 , wherein the base plate further comprises at least one hook that can be engaged with a portion of the edge of the speaker frame that is not accommodated in the holding portion.  
     
     
         3 . The bracket according to  claim 1 , wherein the bracket has one or two or more holding portions, and the holding portion can accommodate a continuous portion of at most a half of a circumference of the edge of the speaker frame in a sliding manner.  
     
     
         4 . The bracket according to  claim 1 , wherein the holding portion can accommodate a continuous portion of at least a half of a circumference of the edge of the speaker frame in a sliding manner.  
     
     
         5 . The bracket according to  claim 1 , wherein the base plate further comprises a hole for fixing.  
     
     
         6 . The bracket according to  claim 1 , wherein the speaker is selected from the group consisting of a cone-shaped speaker, a flat panel shaped loudspeaker system and a transducer speaker.  
     
     
         7 . The bracket according to  claim 6 , wherein the cone-shaped speaker is selected from the group consisting of a curved cone-shaped speaker, a flat cone-shaped speaker, a double cone-shaped speaker, an opry cone-shaped speaker and a parabolic cone-shaped speaker.  
     
     
         8 . The bracket according to  claim 6 , wherein the flat panel shaped loudspeaker system is selected from the group consisting of a Brat Harrah shaped speaker, a Gamuzon shaped speaker and a single Gamuzon shaped speaker.  
     
     
         9 . A method for mounting a speaker on a mounting member comprising: 
 fixing a bracket, which has a base plate and a holding portion, on the mounting member so that the base plate can contact with the mounting member; and    sliding an edge of a speaker frame of the speaker in between the base plate and the holding portion.    
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the base plate further comprises at least one hook that can be engaged with a portion of the edge of the speaker frame that is not accommodated in the holding portion.  
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the bracket has one or two or more holding portions, and the holding portion can accommodate a continuous portion of at most a half of a circumference of the edge of the speaker frame in a sliding manner.  
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the holding portion can accommodate a continuous portion of at least a half of a circumference of the edge of the speaker frame in a sliding manner.  
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the base plate further comprises a hole for fixing.  
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the speaker is selected from the group consisting of a cone-shaped speaker, a flat panel shaped loudspeaker system and a transducer speaker.  
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 14 , wherein the cone-shaped speaker is selected from the group consisting of a curved cone-shaped speaker, a flat cone-shaped speaker, a double cone-shaped speaker, an opry cone-shaped speaker and a parabolic cone-shaped speaker.  
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 14 , wherein the flat panel shaped loudspeaker system is selected from the group consisting of a Brat Harrah shaped speaker, a Gamuzon shaped speaker and a single Gamuzon shaped speaker.
