Claims6
A combination speaker and dome lamp adapted to be mounted to a roll bar of an automotive vehicle, the combined speaker and dome lamp comprising:
- a housing having a forward, side and bottom surfaces, the bottom surface mounting a cover for the speaker and a cover for the dome lamp, the side surface terminating in a flange portion having fastener receiving holes adapted to overlie mating holes in a side mounting surface of the vehicle, and the forward surface having a protrusion extending therefrom adapted to engage an opening in the roll bar of the vehicle,
- whereby the housing is adapted for coupling to the roll bar by first inserting the protrusion into the roll bar opening and then fastening the flange portion to the side mounting surface via the fastening holes.
The combination speaker and dome lamp adapted for mounting substantially at an intersection of a roll bar extending transversely of a vehicle chassis and a side bar extending longitudinally of the chassis, the combination comprising:
- a housing having forward, side and bottom surfaces,
- the bottom surface mounting a cover for the speaker contained within the housing and a cover for the dome lamp contained within the housing:
- the side surface terminating in a flange portion having fastener receiving holes adapted to overlie mating holes in the side bar, and
- a forward surface having a protrusion extending therefrom and adapted to engage an elongated opening in the roll bar,
- whereby the housing is adapted to be coupled substantially at the intersection of the roll bar and side bar by first inserting the protrusion into the elongated opening, sliding the protrusion along the opening until the receiving holes in the body flange portion overlie the mating holes in the side bar, and inserting fasteners through the receiving and mating holes.
