A portable speaker device, comprising:
- a frame configured to receive a portable audio device;
- at least two speakers slidably-connected to the frame, wherein the at least two speakers can be placed in a first position for providing an extended configuration and a second position for providing a retracted configuration;
- and
- a support that is rotatably connected to the frame, wherein the support is rotatable between a supporting position where the at least two speakers are exposed and a covering position where the at least two speakers are at least partially covered by the support.
A device, comprising:
- a frame configured to receive a portable audio device;
- at least two speakers slidably-connected to the frame, wherein the at least two speakers have a first position for providing a substantially extended configuration and a second position for providing a substantially retracted configuration;
- a support that is rotatably connected to the frame, wherein the support is rotatable between a supporting position where the at least two speakers are exposed and a covering position where the at least two speakers are at least partially covered by the support;
- and
- a flush hinged sub-assembly comprising:
- arcuate arms extending from the support and rotatably coupled to the frame at distal ends;
- and
- a contoured element fixedly attached to the frame and shaped such that it mates with a respective side of the arcuate arm to form a continuous surface on the exterior of the frame in the supporting position, and such that it mates with another respective side of the arcuate arm to form a continuous surface on the exterior of the frame in the covering position.
A system for supporting a portable speaker device, the system comprising:
- a frame configured to receive a portable audio device;
- at least two speakers connected to the frame;
- a support that is rotatably connected to the frame, wherein the support is rotatable between a supporting position where the at least two speakers are exposed and a covering position where the at least two speakers are at least partially covered by the support;
- and
- a flushed hinge sub-assembly comprising:
- arcuate arms extending from the support and rotatably coupled to the frame at distal ends;
- and
- a contoured element fixedly attached to the frame and shaped such that it mates with a respective side of the arcuate arm to form a continuous surface on the exterior of the frame in the supporting position, and such that it mates with another respective side of the arcuate arm to form a continuous surface on the exterior of the frame in the covering position.
