Abstract
A portable entertainment system for use with a vehicle, such as a bicycle, that amplifies a signal from a portable media device docked therein, and includes a substantially cylindrical housing unit having a speaker and a portable media device docking unit, the speaker being communicably coupled with the docking unit and outputting the amplified signal, a remote control unit controlling a level of the amplified signal output by the speaker and controlling functions of the portable media device docked in the docking unit, and an impact resistant suspension mounting bracket stably securing the housing unit to a frame of the vehicle.
Claims22
A portable entertainment system amplifying a signal from a portable media device insertable therein, the portable entertainment system comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical housing unit comprising a top portion releasably connected to a bottom portion, said top portion housing a speaker and a portable media device docking unit, the speaker being communicably coupled with the docking unit and capable of outputting an amplified signal;
- and
- a removable control unit releasably coupled to an end of the housing unit, the control unit for controlling a level of the amplified signal output by the speaker and controlling functions of a portable media device connectable to the docking unit.
A portable entertainment system amplifying a signal from a portable media player positionable therein, the portable entertainment system comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical housing unit having audio means and a portable media player docking unit positioned within the housing unit, the audio means being communicably connected to the docking unit and capable of outputting an amplified signal;
- a remote control unit controlling a level of the amplified signal output by the audio means, controlling operation of a portable media player releasably connectable to the docking unit and mountable to a frame of a vehicle;
- and
- an impact resistant suspension mounting bracket mountable to the frame of the vehicle for supporting and securing the housing unit to the frame.
A portable entertainment system comprising:
- an amplifier housing unit including a docking unit for docking a portable media player and a speaker coupled to the docking unit capable of amplifying and outputting a signal produced by a portable media player insertable in the docking unit, the amplifier housing unit having a substantially cylindrical shape;
- a remote control unit controlling a volume of the signal output by the speaker and operation of the portable media player insertable in the docking unit;
- and
- a mounting bracket mounting the amplifier housing unit to a frame of a vehicle.
A portable entertainment system removably mountable to a frame of a vehicle, the portable entertainment system comprising:
- a cylindrical housing unit having a portable media player docking unit located within the housing unit;
- a speaker provided within the housing unit and coupled to the docking unit, the speaker capable of amplifying a signal from a portable media player connectable to the docking unit;
- a remote control unit removably mountable to the vehicle frame for controlling operation of the portable media player;
- and
- a shock-absorbing mounting bracket removably mountable to the vehicle frame and for supporting the housing unit when the bracket is secured to the vehicle frame.
