Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a loud speaker system, and more particularly, the utilization of space to the utmost of efficiency for the reproduction of sound. The single unit of a loud speaker apparatus is most effectively mounted at the 90° intersection of adjacent walls and ceiling, cater-corner across the ceiling to another single unit. The single unit application is limited in that a square corner is necessary to transmit the horn properly throughout the listening chamber, yet by using multi-unit configurations with a plurality of the loud speaker apparatuses, the invention will also conform to two adjacent walls, or a flat surface, or to be suspended within the listening enclosure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A loud speaker apparatus adapted to be mounted at the intersection of three mutually perpendicular walls, comprising: (a) a housing means having a speaker means mounted therein; (b) said housing means including a housing assembly, a baffle assembly connected to said housing assembly, and said housing means having an opening between said housing assembly and said baffle assembly; (c) said baffle assembly including a corner connector assembly having three interconnected reflector plate members perpendicular to each other and mounted about the intersection of three mutually perpendicular walls, each of said reflector plate members to form a separate corner in conjunction with two adjacent ones of the perpendicular walls; and (d) said speaker means having a first speaker mounted in said housing assembly and directed through said opening toward said baffle assembly and said corners; whereby the sound waves from said first speaker are radiated from each of said corners from said corner connector assembly and the perpendicular walls producing balanced sound throughout the room.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A loud speaker apparatus adapted to be mounted at the intersection of three mutually perpendicular walls, comprising: (a) a housing means having a speaker means mounted therein; (b) said housing means including a housing assembly, a baffle assembly connected to said housing assembly, and said housing means having an opening between said housing assembly and said baffle assembly; (c) said baffle assembly including a corner connector assembly having three interconnected reflector plate members perpendicular to each other and mounted about the intersection of three mutually perpendicular walls, each of said reflector plate members to form a separate corner in conjunction with two adjacent ones of the perpendicular walls; and (d) said speaker means having a first speaker mounted in said housing assembly and directed through said opening toward said baffle assembly and said corners; whereby the sound waves from said first speaker are radiated from each of said corners from said corner connector assembly and the perpendicular walls producing balanced sound throughout the room.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
A loud speaker apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein: (a) said corner connector assembly having said three reflector plate members secured to each other in perpendicular planes to form a connector corner therebetween; and (b) said reflector plates secured against the perpendicular walls to form a cube therewith having said connector corner inside the cube.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
A loud speaker apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein: (a) said housing assembly including a plurality of interconnected primary sidewalls and secondary sidewalls of conical shape having a base with a large opening adjacent the perpendicular walls and a smaller opening at the opposite end; and (b) said speaker means having a second speaker directed outwardly of the perpendicular walls.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A loud speaker apparatus as described in claim 3, wherein: (a) said first speaker is a full range driver speaker; and (b) said second speaker is a high range tweeter speaker.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
91 words
A loud speaker apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein: (a) said housing assembly of generally conical shape having a tapered central cavity; (b) said housing means including a housing door secured to said housing assembly at a base of said cavity; (c) said housing door having said opening divided into a plurality of speaker openings each cooperating with one of said separate corners of said corner connector assembly; and (d) said first speaker mounted adjacent said housing door about said speaker openings to direct sound waves toward said baffle assembly.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A loud speaker apparatus as described in claim 5, wherein: (a) said speaker means having a second speaker mounted in said housing assembly adjacent a small opening of said cavity to direct sound waves outwardly therefrom.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
74 words
A loud speaker apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein: (a) said housing assembly of generally conical shape having a central tapered cavity; and (b) said housing means including a speaker mount plate secured to the inside of said housing assembly having said first speaker secured thereto to direct sound waves toward a housing door having said opening therein and secured to said housing assembly between said speaker mount plate and said baffle assembly.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
77 words
A loud speaker apparatus as described in claim 7, wherein: (a) said housing door having said opening divided into a plurality of speaker openings; (b) each of said speaker openings cooperating with a respective one of said separate corners of said corner connector assembly to achieve maximum sound resonance; and (c) said speaker mount plate having outer peripheral portions spaced inwardly of said housing assembly to form openings for movement of sound waves from said first speaker.
