Benefits of technology

[0030] It is, therefore, an advantage of the present invention to provide an improved system and method for mounting audio equipment.
[0031] Another exemplary embodiment of the present invention is to provide an improved system and method for mounting audio equipment wherein the audio equipment to be mounted may be a speaker housing.
[0032] Still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention is to provide an improved system and method for mounting audio equipment wherein the audio equipment to be mounted may be an enclosed speaker.
[0033] Yet another exemplary embodiment of the present invention is to provide an improved system and method for mounting audio equipment wherein the mounting system may be used to mount audio equipment to a support structure.
[0034] Another exemplary embodiment of the present invention is to provide an improved system and method for mounting audio equipment wherein the mounting system may be used to mount audio equipment to a support structure wherein the support structure may be a speaker stand.
[0035] Still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention is to provide an improved system and method for mounting audio equipment wherein the audio equipment may be a cabinet which may house a transducer and control circuitry.

Problems solved by technology

Additionally, commercial venders such as restaurants, bars, and other venues had no way of communicating information and or transmitting audio medium to their costumers in an efficient manner.
Additionally, the lack of good sound quality usually made the home viewing experience inferior to the experience one would find at a movie theatre, or the sound quality one would find at an entertainment venue accustomed to good sound.
However, a problem with these existing support structures, is that they pose time consuming installation disadvantages.
A problem with this type of application is that once the bracket is screwed into the speaker housing, it is extremely difficult to later adjust the speaker for better audio clarity and / or positioning.
In order to adjust the speaker direction and / or positioning, the threaded mechanism must either be removed from the wall, which would be extensively time consuming and cumbersome, or the bracket must be loosened from the audio equipment, which can also be time consuming and cumbersome seeing as the placement of the audio equipment is against a wall and / or positioned rather high on the vertical plane of the wall.
As can be readily apparent, this procedure may be overly cumbersome and burdensome for an individual that desire to properly position audio equipment.

Embodiment Construction

[0071] Turning now to the drawings wherein elements are identified by numbers and like elements are identified by like numbers throughout the 6 figures, the invention is depicted in FIG. 1 that illustrates a mounting bracket 1 for use in the mounting system. As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting bracket 1 may be detachably coupled to a speaker housing 5 for mounting of the speaker housing 5 to a support structure (not shown). FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket may have a back plate 7 which may have a plurality of holes 13 formed thereon. The backing plate 7 in an exemplary embodiment may be of any shape to be adaptable to any support structure. However, in a preferred embodiment, the backing plate 7 may have a front side 9 and a back side 11. The back side 11 of the backing plate 7 may be adapted for fitment against a wall or any vertical plane. Additionally, the holes 13 in the backing plate 7 may be used for securing the backing plate 7 ...

Abstract

An improved system and method for mounting audio equipment to a support structure is provided. The invention provides a system and method for using a unique bracket system that may allow for rotation and positioning of a speaker housing relative to a support structure by mounting a speaker housing to a fixed surface including a wall and allowing for adjustment and / or rotation of the speaker housing without necessitating the removal of the speaker housing from the bracket and / or excessive manipulation of the bracket to properly rotate or adjust the positioning of the speaker housing relative to the support structure. The invention provides an appendage and an arm portion of the mounting bracket that may be rotated to allow for positioning of the speaker housing coupled to the appendage to be rotated in conjunction with the appendage movement relative to the arm of the mounting bracket.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to the field of a audio systems. More specifically, this invention relates to a system and a method for securing audio equipment to a support structure. Further, this invention relates to a system for that allows for pivotal movement and placement of audio equipment after attachment to a support structure. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The emergence of high-quality audio systems has made home entertainment a preferred source of entertainment and enjoyment in today's entertainment crazed society. Typically, a home entertainment viewer may have large screen TVs, plasmas or similar visual equipment to view such things as entertainment programming, sporting events and movies, which until the emergence of good audio and visual mediums, could only be viewed at specific, dedicated entertainment outposts such as movie theatres. Additionally, commercial venders such as restaurants, bars, and other venues had no way of communicating in...
