Apparatus for constructing a speaker enclosure

Claim 2

A portable speaker enclosure for installation into a corner defined by two walls and a floor, said enclosure comprising a speaker panel and a horn duct panel, said speaker panel having tapered sides and being angularly positioned into said corner with the bottom edge thereof resting on said floor and the tapered sides thereof abutting said walls, said horn duct panel having its sides tapered at an angular relationship to each other so that, upon being slid downwardly while being maintained in engagement with the upper edge of said speaker panel, said horn duct panel fits snugly into the corner with the tapered sides thereof abutting the walls to define, together with said speaker panel, a unitary speaker enclosure.

Claim 3

A portable speaker enclosure with a horn duct portion for installation into a corner defined by two vertical wall panels and a horizontal floor panel, said enclosure comprising a speaker panel with a speaker opening and a horn duct panel, said speaker panel having tapered sides and one horizontally extending edge longer than the other horizontally extending edge, said speaker panel being angularly positioned into said corner so that said tapered sides are in abutment with the wall panels and said longer horizontally extending edge is resting on said floor panel thereby defining an upper opening between said wall panels and said other shorter horizontally extending edge, said horn duct panel having tapered sides at an angular relationship to each other so that, upon being slid downwardly at an angle into said upper opening while being maintained in engagement with said other shorter, horizontally extending edge of said speaker panel, said horn duct panel fits snugly into said corner with the tapered sides along their entire lengths in abutment with the vertical wall panels to define, together with said speaker panel, a unitary speAker enclosure having a horn duct at the upper side and closed off on the other three sides.

Claim 4

A portable speaker enclosure with a horn duct portion for installation into a corner defined by two vertical wall panels and a horizontal floor panel, said enclosure comprising a speaker panel with a speaker opening and a horn duct panel, said speaker panel having tapered sides and one horizontally extending edge longer than the other horizontally extending edge, said speaker panel being angularly positioned into said corner so that said tapered sides are in abutment with the wall panels and said longer horizontally extending edge is resting on said floor panel thereby defining an upper opening between said wall panels and said other shorter horizontally extending edge, said horn duct panel having tapered sides at an angular relationship to each other so that, upon being slid downwardly at an angle into said upper opening while being maintained in engagement with said other shorter, horizontally extending edge of said speaker panel, said horn duct panel fits snugly into said corner with the tapered sides along their entire lengths in abutment with the vertical wall panels to define, together with said speaker panel, a unitary speAker enclosure having a horn duct at the upper side and closed off on the other three sides.

Claim 5

The speaker enclosure of claim 2 and which is further characterized in that a speaker is mounted in said speaker opening of said speaker panel so as to be positioned within said enclosure.

Claim 6

The speaker enclosure of claim 2 and which is further characterized in that said speaker panel and said horn duct panel are of an isosceles trapezoidal configuration.

Claim 7

The speaker enclosure of claim 3 and which is further characterized in that the lower portion of said horn duct panel terminates behind said speaker to define an aperture between the bottom edge of said horn duct panel and said wall panels to provide for a reversal in phase for the sound emanating from the rear of said speaker.

Claim 8

The portable speaker enclosure of claim 2 and which is further characterized in that a slipproof means is attached to said one longer horizontally extending edge of said speaker panel.
