Abstract
A sound producing rock having a matching body and a cap such that the cap is supported above the body in a spaced relationship to give the illusion that the cap and body are a monolithic structure. The cap and body are produced by sawing the cap from the body. A cavity is formed in the body by drilling a borehole in the body which extends downwardly from the flat body surface. A speaker is mounted in the cavity to project sound upwardly against the flat surface of the cap so that sound is projected outwardly from the space formed between the cap and body.
Claims6
A rock speaker for use in a garden, patio, lawn etc. comprising a rock body and a matching rock cap,
- said body and cap each exhibiting a flat conjugate surface produced by sawing said cap from said body,
- said body being positioned so that the flat surface faces upwardly, said cap being supported above said flat surface of said body a predetermined distance, so that said flat surfaces of said cap and body face each other and form a space therebetween,
- a chamber formed in said body extending downwardly from said flat surface a predetermined selectable distance, speaker means mounted in said chamber to project sound upwardly against said flat surface of said cap.
A method of making a garden speaker comprising:
- providing a suitable rock for the purpose,
- cogitating and examining the rock,
- determining the location of a suitable cut in the rock,
- sawing said rock to produce a rock body and a rock cap, each having a matching flat surface,
- boring a hole in said rock body from a selected location on said flat surface of said rock body to penetrate and pass through said rock body,
- removing rock at said flat surface of said rock body to form a cavity in said rock body which extends below said flat surface and is in communication with said hole,
- passing suitable wires through said hole into said cavity, installing a speaker in said cavity to radiate sound upwardly from said cavity,
- connecting said wires to said speaker,
- supporting said rock cap above said rock body a predetermined distance on suitable pedestals,
- energizing said wires with a suitable signal.
