Embodiment Construction

[0018]Referring to FIG. 1, an apparatus for supporting a speaker 9 above a television 4 according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown generally at 10. The television 4 has front and rear surfaces 6 and 8, respectively and a top surface 7 extending therebetween. The junction of the front and top surfaces defines a front top edge 6a. The junction of the rear surfaces defines a rear top edge 8a.

[0019]Turning to FIGS. 2 and 3, a perspective view of the speaker shelf 10 is illustrated. The apparatus or speaker shelf 10 comprises a top platform 12, a front lip 14 and a rear grip 16. The top platform comprises a planar member having front and back ends 18 and 20, respectively and extending between first and second side edges 22 and 24, respectively. The first and second side edges 22 and 24 maybe parallel to or angled with respect to each other. It will be appreciated that other shapes of the top platform 12 maybe useful as well. The front lip 14 extends substantially perpendi...

Abstract

Disclosed Is an apparatus for supporting an object such as a speaker above a video display having substantially parallel front and rear planar surfaces. The apparatus comprises a top platform having at least one front lip adapted to engage the front planar surface of the video display and at least one adjustable rear gripping device suspended from the top platform adapted to selectively engage the rear planar surface of the video display. The at least one front lip and at least one rear gripping device cooperate to clamp the video display therebetween.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to supporting devices above a video display in general and in particular to a device for supporting a speaker above a flat panel television.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]It is well know that modern home theater systems typically include a video display such as a television, an input source such as a DVD or VHS player, a processing device such as an audio visual receiver, and a plurality of speakers. One of the plurality of speakers typically includes a center channel speaker. The center channel speaker is known to be important for locating dialogue and other sounds associated with a corresponding image displayed on the television.[0003]In designing and setting up home theater systems, it is known that the position and orientation of the center channel speaker is important for ensuring accurate reproduction of the required audio signals. It is known that the center channel speaker is desirably located vertically centered in...
