Abstract
A speaker system includes a speaker and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes a cleat and a clamp. The cleat is configured to be mounted to the speaker in a plurality of mounting positions. The clamp slidably engages the cleat among a plurality of positions. The clamp includes end portions and a connecting portion. The end portions are spaced apart from each other and engage the cleat. The connecting portion is disposed between the end portions and is configured to receive a support bar.
Claims20
A speaker system comprising:
- a speaker;
- and
- a mounting bracket comprising:
- a cleat configured to be mounted to the speaker in a plurality of mounting positions;
- and
- a clamp movable between a loose state and a tightened state, the clamp secured to the cleat and configured to slide relative to the cleat among a plurality of positions in the loose state, the clamp including end portions and a connecting portion, the end portions spaced apart from each other and engaging the cleat, the connecting portion disposed between the end portions and configured to receive a support bar.

A speaker system comprising:
- a speaker;
- and
- a pair of mounting brackets spaced apart from each other and configured to be mounted to the speaker, each mounting bracket of the pair of mounting brackets comprising:
- a cleat configured to rotate relative to the speaker and including an upper surface, a lower surface, and a slot, the slot located between the upper surface and the lower surface and extending along at least a portion of the cleat;
- and
- a clamp movable between a loose state and a tightened state, the clamp secured to the cleat and configured to slide relative to the cleat among a plurality of positions in the loose state, the clamp including end portions and a connecting portion, the end portions spaced apart from each other and engaging the cleat proximate the slot, the connecting portion disposed between the end portions and configured to receive a support bar.
3 more elements
A speaker system comprising:
- a speaker;
- and
- a pair of mounting brackets spaced apart from each other and mounted to an exterior surface of the speaker, each mounting bracket of the pair of mounting brackets comprising:
- a cleat including an upper surface, a lower surface, and a slot, the slot located between the upper surface and the lower surface and extending along at least a portion of the cleat;
- a clamp movable between a loose state and a tightened state, the clamp secured to the cleat and configured to slide relative to the cleat among a plurality of positions in the loose state, the clamp including end portions and a connecting portion, the end portions spaced apart from each other and engaging the cleat proximate the slot, the connecting portion disposed between the end portions and configured to receive a support bar;
- a pair of clamp fasteners, each clamp fastener extending through the end portions of the clamp of a respective mounting bracket of the pair of mounting brackets and through the slot of the cleat of the respective mounting bracket of the pair of mounting brackets, the clamp fastener engages the clamp in the loose state in which the clamp is slidable relative to the cleat and in the tightened state in which the clamp is inhibited from sliding relative to the cleat;
- and
- a pair of cleat fasteners, each cleat fastener extending through the cleat of a respective mounting bracket of the pair of mounting brackets and at least partially through the speaker, the cleat fastener engages the cleat in a loose position in which the cleat is rotatable relative to the speaker and in a tightened position in which the cleat is inhibited from rotating relative to the speaker, the pair of cleat fasteners extending perpendicular to the pair of clamp fasteners.
