Abstract
Disclosed is a device for audibly producing an audio signal including a first speaker, a second speaker, a first housing surrounding the first speaker, a second housing surrounding the second speaker, a curved member having a first curvature and connected to the first housing and the second housing, a receiver for receiving the audio signal, and an energy storage device mounted on the curved member, the energy storage device electrically connected to the receiver and having a second curvature congruent to the first curvature.
Claims16
A device for audibly producing an audio signal, the device comprising:
- a first speaker;
- a second speaker;
- a first housing surrounding the first speaker;
- a second housing surrounding the second speaker;
- a curved member having a first curvature and connected to the first housing at a first end and the second housing at a second end;
- a bottom layer of the curved member;
- a top layer of the curved member;
- a void formed between the top layer and the bottom layer, the void extending from the first end to the second end;
- a receiver for receiving the audio signal;
- and
- a battery disposed in the void between the top layer and the bottom layer, the battery electrically connected to the receiver and having a second curvature congruent to the first curvature.
