Abstract
Systems and methods are directed toward an integrated, compact speaker and light head assembly. Body portions may be coupled to a speaker section to form a lightbar body. The speaker section may include one or more assemblies having openings with an axial height that is greater than adjacent body portion axial heights. The lightbar body may be coupled to one or more mounting locations using fastener apertures extending through portions of the lightbar body.
Claims20
A lightbar assembly, comprising:
- one or more body sections including one or more light heads, the one or more body sections including a cover over a top portion and an interior structural member;
- one or more siren sections including one or more siren assemblies, the one or more siren sections being arranged adjacent to at least one of the one or more body sections, wherein the one or more siren sections including an electronics package formed within an interior portion including at least audio electronics for generating one or more audio outputs responsive to a control signal;
- a pair of end caps arranged at opposite ends of the lightbar assembly, wherein at least one end cap of the pair of endcaps is arranged adjacent to at least one body section of the one or more body sections;
- a spine support arranged along a bottom side of the lightbar assembly, the spine support being split by the one or more siren sections;
- and
- a joining member extending across at least one siren section of the one or more siren sections to couple to each of a first spine support segment and a second spine support segment.
3 more elements
A lighting and auditory system, comprising:
- a first body section including a first cover, a first bottom recess, a first light head, and a first support member;
- a second body section including a second cover, a second bottom recess, a second light head, and a second support member;
- a siren section including a third cover and a siren assembly;
- a spine extending along a bottom side of the lighting and auditory system, the spine including first spine portion arranged within the first bottom recess and a second spine portion arranged within the second bottom recess;
- and
- a weldment within a volume of the siren section, a first end of the weldment being coupled to the first spine portion and a second end of the weldment being coupled to the second spine portion;
- wherein at least a portion of the siren assembly extends axially lower than the spine.
4 more elements
A lightbar assembly, comprising:
- a first illumination, section, comprising:
- a first body structure;
- a first cover positioned within a first top recess at a first top side of the first body structure;
- a first support element formed within the first body structure;
- and
- one or more first light heads;
- a second illumination section, comprising:
- a second body structure;
- a second cover positioned within a second top recess at a second top side of the first body structure;
- a second support element formed within the second body structure;
- and
- one or more second light heads;
- an auditory section, comprising:
- one or more siren assemblies;
- an auditory section structural support;
- a first bottom recess;
- a second bottom recess;
- and
- an electronics package including one or more control systems configured to transmit control signals to at least one of the one or more siren assemblies, the one or more first light heads, or the one or more second light heads;
- and
- a support system, comprising:
- a first spine member, positioned within the first bottom recess;
- a second spine member, positioned within the second bottom recess;
- and
- a joining member extending across the auditory section from the first bottom recess to the second bottom recess configured to couple the auditory section to the first spine member and to the second spine member.
