[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 11. As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the speaker 1 of this embodiment comprises a speaker body 2 and a stand 3.

[0011] The surface of the speaker body 2 includes an output surface 10a that outputs (emits) sound to the outside. In addition to the output surface 10a, the surface of the speaker body 2 also includes a bottom surface 10b, a top surface 10c, a back surface 10d, and a side surface 10e. The bottom surface 10b is the surface that mainly faces downwards, facing the mounting surface G such as the ground or floor on which the speaker 1 is placed. In the illustrated example, the bottom surface 10b has irregularities, but it may be formed to be flat, for example. The top surface 10c is the surface that faces the opposite side from the bottom surface 10b, and is the surface that mainly faces upwards when the speaker 1 is placed on the mounting surface G.

[0012] The output surface 10a, the side surfaces 10e, and the rear surface 10d are all located between the bottom surface 10b and the top surface 10c, and are surfaces orthogonal to both the bottom surface 10b and the top surface 10c. In the present embodiment, the output surface 10a and the rear surface 10d face opposite sides from each other. The output surface 10a is a surface that mainly faces the front side when the speaker 1 is placed on the placement surface G. The rear surface 10d is a surface that mainly faces the rear side when the speaker 1 is placed on the placement surface G. The side surfaces 10e are two surfaces that are also located between the output surface 10a and the rear surface 10d. The two side surfaces 10e are respectively orthogonal to the bottom surface 10b, the top surface 10c, the output surface 10a, and the rear surface 10d, and face opposite sides from each other. In the following description, the direction in which the two side surfaces 10e are aligned may be referred to as the "width direction". Further, the direction toward which the bottom surface 10b faces may be referred to as "downward".

[0013] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the speaker body 2 has a storage portion 11 capable of storing the stand 3 detached from the speaker body 2. The storage portion 11 is provided on the bottom surface 10b of the speaker body 2. The storage portion 11 is a recess formed on the bottom surface 10b (surface) of the speaker body 2. The storage portion 11, which is a recess, opens to the outside of the speaker body 2. Specifically, the storage portion 11 opens in the direction toward which the bottom surface 10b faces (that is, downward). The storage portion 11 of the present embodiment is also utilized as a battery storage portion for storing a battery 40 (see Figure 7) serving as a power source for driving the speaker 1.

[0014] As shown in Figures 1 and 7, an operation unit 41 such as for an amplifier or a mixer is provided on the top surface 10c of the speaker body 2. Further, as shown in Figures 2 and 5 to 7, a terminal 42 for connecting a power cord or the speaker body 2 to another device is provided on the rear surface 10d of the speaker body 2.

[0015] The speaker body 2 of the present embodiment includes a housing 10 and a speaker unit 20. The housing 10 is a hexahedron that forms the surface of the speaker body 2. That is, the housing 10 is formed as a cube or a rectangular prism close to a cube. Therefore, the output surface 10a, bottom surface 10b, top surface 10c, back surface 10d, and two side surfaces 10e that make up the surface of the speaker body 2 are each formed as a square or a rectangle close to a square.

[0016] As shown in Figure 7, the housing 10 includes the aforementioned storage section 11. The housing 10 also has an internal space (hereinafter referred to as the internal space 12). Furthermore, the housing 10 has a partition wall 13 that separates the storage section 11 from the internal space 12. The volume of the internal space 12 is larger than the volume of the storage section 11. The speaker unit 20 is positioned in the internal space 12 of the housing 10. The speaker unit 20 primarily radiates sound to the outside from the output surface 10a of the housing 10.

[0017] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the housing 10 of this embodiment has flat side wall portions 15 (wall portions) that each constitute two sides 10e (first surfaces). Each side wall portion 15 has a first protruding portion 15A that protrudes from the edge of the bottom surface 10b (second surface) adjacent to the side surface 10e. Each side wall portion 15 also has a second protruding portion 15B that protrudes from the edge of the back surface 10d (second surface) adjacent to the side surface 10e. Furthermore, each side wall portion 15 has a third protruding portion 15C that protrudes from the edge of the top surface 10c adjacent to the side surface 10e.

[0018] As shown in Figures 2-6, the aforementioned storage compartment 11 is formed using the bottom surface 10b and the first protruding portion 15A of the side wall portion 15 that protrudes from the bottom surface 10b. The bottom surface 10b of the speaker body 2 constitutes the bottom of the recessed portion that serves as the storage compartment 11, and the first protruding portion 15A constitutes the inner surface of the recessed portion that rises from the bottom.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 and 7, the third protruding portion 15C of the side wall portion 15 protrudes from the edge of the upper surface 10c, forming a recess 16 on the upper surface 10c. Also, as shown in Figures 2, 5 to 7, the second protruding portion 15B of the side wall portion 15 protrudes from the edge of the back surface 10d, forming a recess 17 on the back surface 10d. As shown in Figure 7, the operating portion 41 provided on the upper surface 10c and the terminal 42 provided on the back surface 10d are located inside these recesses 16 and 17. This provides protection for the terminal 42 and the operating portion 41.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1-4, the stand 3 is detachable from the speaker body 2. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, when the stand 3 is attached to the speaker body 2, it tilts and supports the speaker body 2 so that the output surface 10a faces diagonally upward.

[0021] Stand 3 is a plate-shaped member formed in a flat shape. In this embodiment, stand 3 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. The speaker 1 in this embodiment is equipped with two stand 3, which are plate-shaped members. The two stands 3 support both ends of the speaker body 2 (housing 10) in the width direction. Specifically, the two stands 3 support the first protruding portion 15A and the second protruding portion 15B of the side wall portion 15 at both ends in the width direction, respectively. The configuration of Stand 3 will be explained below, mainly with reference to Figures 8 and 9. Although only the shape of one of the two Stand 3s will be described below, both Stand 3s are symmetrical to each other.

[0022] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the stand 3 has a ground contact surface 3a, a first support surface 3b, and a second support surface 3c. The ground contact surface 3a, the first support surface 3b, and the second support surface 3c are all surfaces that extend in the thickness direction of the plate-shaped member of the stand 3. The contact surface 3a is the surface that makes surface contact with the mounting surface G when the speaker 1 is placed on the mounting surface G with the stand 3 attached to the speaker body 2 (see Figures 1 and 3).

[0023] The first support surface 3b is inclined with respect to the ground surface 3a. In Figure 9, the first inclination angle θ1 of the first support surface 3b with respect to the ground surface 3a is 30 degrees. The first support surface 3b supports the first protruding portion 15A or the second protruding portion 15B of the side wall portion 15 when the stand 3 is attached to the speaker body 2 (see Figures 1 and 3). The second support surface 3c is connected to the end of the first support surface 3b and is perpendicular to the first support surface 3b. The second support surface 3c is inclined with respect to the ground surface 3a. In Figure 9, the second inclination angle θ2 of the second support surface 3c with respect to the ground surface 3a is greater than the first inclination angle θ1, which is 60 degrees. When the stand 3 is attached to the speaker body 2, the second support surface 3c supports the second protruding portion 15B of the side wall portion 15 when the first support surface 3b supports the first protruding portion 15A of the side wall portion 15 (see Figure 1). Also, when the stand 3 is attached to the speaker body 2, the second support surface 3c supports the first protruding portion 15A when the first support surface 3b supports the second protruding portion 15B of the side wall portion 15 (see Figure 3).

[0024] As shown in Figure 9, when viewed from the thickness direction of the stand 3, the length of the first support surface 3b in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in Figure 9) is longer than the length of the second support surface 3c in the longitudinal direction (up-down direction in Figure 9). The longitudinal direction of the first support surface 3b corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the first protruding portion 15A (or second protruding portion 15B), and the longitudinal direction of the second support surface 3c corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the second protruding portion 15B (or first protruding portion 15A). Therefore, the first support surface 3b mainly supports the speaker body 2, and the second support surface 3c restricts the movement of the speaker body 2 along the longitudinal direction of the first support surface 3b.

[0025] Furthermore, the stand 3 has a lateral support surface 3d. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the lateral support surface 3d is the surface that supports the side surface 10e of the side wall portion 15 while the first and second support surfaces 3b and 3c support the first and second protruding portions 15A and 15B. The stand 3 in this embodiment is formed in a triangular shape when viewed in the direction of its plate thickness, but it is not limited to this.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, when the speaker 1 is placed on the mounting surface G with the stand 3 attached so that the first support surface 3b of the stand 3 supports the first protruding portion 15A of the side wall portion 15 (i.e., when the contact surface 3a of the stand 3 is in surface contact with the mounting surface G), the output surface 10a of the speaker body 2 is angled upward at a first inclination angle (30 degrees in Figure 1) relative to the mounting surface G. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3, when the speaker 1 is placed on the mounting surface G with the stand 3 attached so that the first support surface 3b of the stand 3 supports the second protruding portion 15B of the side wall portion 15, the output surface 10a of the speaker body 2 is angled upward at a second inclination angle (60 degrees in Figure 3) relative to the mounting surface G. In other words, with the speaker 1 of this embodiment, the speaker body 2 can be tilted at two different inclination angles using the same stand 3.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1-4, 10, and 11, the speaker 1 is equipped with a holding mechanism 7 that holds the stand 3 to the speaker body 2 when the stand 3 is attached to the speaker 1 so as to support the speaker body 2 in an inclined position. The holding mechanism 7 has a protrusion 71 that protrudes from the surface of the speaker body 2 and a recess 72 formed in the stand 3 into which the protrusion 71 fits. In this embodiment, the protrusions 71 are the first and second protruding portions 15A and 15B of the side wall portion 15 described above. The recesses 72 are grooves 31 with the first support surface 3b and the second support surface 3c as their bottom surfaces, as shown in Figures 8 and 9. As shown in Figures 10 and 11, when the first and second protruding portions 15A and 15B of the speaker body 2 are fitted into the grooves 31 of the stand 3, the portion of the elastic stand 3 that forms the grooves 31 undergoes elastic deformation. As a result, the elastic force of the elastically deformed stand 3 can hold the first and second protruding portions 15A and 15B of the speaker body 2 in the grooves 31 of the stand 3.

[0028] Next, we will explain how the stand 3 is stored in the storage compartment 11 of the speaker body 2. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the two stands 3 are stored in the storage compartment 11 such that their plate thickness direction faces the direction of the recess in the storage compartment 11 (the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface 10b). Here, the combined size of the two stands 3 as viewed from the bottom surface 10b side is smaller than the size of the storage compartment 11. The two stands 3 stored in the storage compartment 11 are arranged so that they do not overlap each other when viewed from the bottom surface 10b side.

[0029] In this embodiment, the speaker 1 can be held in a state where the stand 3 is stored in the storage compartment 11. This point will be explained below. As shown in Figure 6, the storage section 11 has a locking portion 81. In this embodiment, the locking portion 81 is a projection. The direction of protrusion of the locking portion 81 is oriented in the direction of insertion and removal of the stand 3 from the storage section 11. On the other hand, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the stand 3 has a locking portion 82 that is detachably locked to the locking portion 81. In this embodiment, the locking portion 82 is an insertion hole into which the projection is fitted. Although not shown, the direction of the recess of the locking portion 82, which is an insertion hole, is oriented in the direction of insertion and removal of the stand 3 from the storage section 11, similar to the locking portion 81 projection. This allows the locking portion 82 on the stand 3 side to be locked to the locking portion 81 on the storage section 11 side at the same time as the stand 3 is stored in the storage section 11. When the locking portion 81, which is a projection, is fitted into the locking portion 82, which is an insertion hole, the portion of the stand 3 that forms the locking portion 82 undergoes elastic deformation. As a result, the elastic force of the elastically deformed stand 3 allows the locking portion 81 on the storage portion 11 side to be held in place by the locking portion 82 on the stand 3 side. For example, the locking portion 81 on the storage portion 11 side may be an insertion hole, and the locking portion 82 on the stand 3 side may be a projection that fits into the insertion hole.

[0030] As shown in Figures 5-7, the stand 3 has legs 32 that protrude to the outside of the storage compartment 11 when stored in the storage compartment 11. The legs 32 protrude in the thickness direction from the plate-shaped portion of the stand 3. The legs 32 protrude to the underside of the speaker body 2 when the stand 3 is stored in the storage compartment 11. This makes it possible to suppress or prevent the speaker body 2 from coming into contact with the mounting surface G even when the speaker 1 is placed on the mounting surface G with the stand 3 stored in the storage compartment 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, two terms, "storage" and "attachment," are used to describe the attachment of the stand 3 to the speaker body 2. "Storage" refers to the attachment of the stand 3 to the speaker body 2 such that, for example, most of the stand 3 (e.g., more than two-thirds) is stored in the storage section 11 of the speaker body 2. "Storage" also refers to the attachment of the stand 3 to the speaker body 2 such that, for example, when the speaker 1 is placed on the mounting surface G, the output surface 10a of the speaker body 2 faces in a direction aligned with the mounting surface G. Furthermore, "Storage" also refers to the attachment of the stand 3 to the speaker body 2 such that, for example, the stand 3 does not protrude from the speaker body 2 to the extent that it does not get in the way when carrying the speaker 1 (the stand 3 is unlikely to hit the worker carrying it). In this embodiment, both the attachment of the stand 3 to the speaker body 2 where "the stand 3 is completely stored in the storage section 11" and the attachment of the stand 3 to the speaker body 2 where "the legs 32 of the stand 3 protrude from the storage section 11 while the stand 3 is generally stored in the storage section 11" are referred to as "storage."

[0032] On the other hand, "attachment" means the attachment of the stand 3 to the speaker body 2 such that, for example, most of the stand 3 (for example, more than two-thirds) is located outside the speaker body 2 (storage section 11). Also, "attachment" means the attachment of the stand 3 to the speaker body 2 such that, for example, when the speaker 1 is placed on the mounting surface G, the output surface 10a of the speaker body 2 faces diagonally upward.

[0033] As described above, according to the speaker 1 and speaker body 2 of this embodiment, the speaker body 2 has a storage section 11 for housing a stand 3 for tilting the speaker body 2. Since the stand 3 can be stored in the storage section 11 of the speaker body 2, the speaker body 2 and the stand 3 can be transported together. Therefore, the portability of the speaker 1 having the speaker body 2 and stand 3 can be improved.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the storage compartment 11 is provided on the bottom surface 10b of the speaker body 2, other surfaces of the speaker body 2 (top surface 10c, side surface 10e, back surface 10d, etc.) can be effectively utilized. To explain this point, when the speaker 1 is placed on a mounting surface G such as the ground or floor, the bottom surface 10b of the speaker body 2 faces the mounting surface G. Therefore, when the speaker 1 is placed on the mounting surface G, other surfaces of the speaker body 2 that do not face the mounting surface G can be effectively utilized. For example, other surfaces of the speaker body 2 can be effectively utilized as surfaces for providing the control panel 41 of an amplifier or mixer, a power cord, and terminals 42 for connecting to other equipment. Also, for example, a handle for carrying the speaker 1 can be provided on the top surface 10c of the speaker body 2, where the storage compartment 11 is not provided. Furthermore, for example, a hole for inserting a pole (pole socket) can be provided on the side 10e of the speaker body 2 where the storage compartment 11 is not provided.

[0035] Furthermore, in the speaker 1 and speaker body 2 of this embodiment, the stand 3 is detachable from the speaker body 2. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the stand 3 cannot be removed from the speaker body 2, the mounting structure of the stand 3 to the speaker body 2 can be simplified.

[0036] Furthermore, according to the speaker 1 and speaker body 2 of this embodiment, the housing 10 of the speaker body 2 has a partition wall 13 that separates a storage section 11 in which the stand 3 is housed from the internal space 12 of the housing 10 in which the speaker unit 20 is arranged. The internal space 12 of the housing 10 in which the speaker unit 20 is arranged affects the acoustic characteristics of the speaker 1. However, since the storage section 11 is separated from the internal space 12 of the housing 10 by the partition wall 13, it is possible to prevent the storage section 11 from affecting the acoustic characteristics of the speaker 1.

[0037] Furthermore, in the speaker 1 of this embodiment, the flat stand 3 is housed in the storage section 11 such that the thickness direction of the stand 3 faces the direction of the recess in the storage section 11. Therefore, the depth of the storage section 11, which is formed as a recess, can be kept small. As a result, the volume of the speaker body 2, including the storage section 11, can be kept small. Consequently, the speaker 1 can be made more compact.

[0038] Furthermore, the speaker 1 of this embodiment is equipped with multiple stand members 3, which are plate-shaped members. Therefore, even if the stand members 3 are flat, they can stably support the speaker body 2.

[0039] Furthermore, in the speaker 1 of this embodiment, the multiple flat stand 3 housed in the storage section 11 are arranged so as not to overlap when viewed from the bottom surface 10b side (the opening side of the storage section 11). This makes it possible to further reduce the depth of the storage section 11, which is formed as a recess. Therefore, the size of the speaker body 2 including the storage section 11 can be reduced, further miniaturizing the speaker 1.

[0040] Furthermore, the speaker 1 of this embodiment includes a holding mechanism 7 that holds the stand 3 to the speaker body 2 when the stand 3 is attached to the speaker body 2 so as to support the speaker body 2 in an inclined position. This holding mechanism 7 prevents the speaker body 2 from accidentally detaching from the stand 3.

[0041] Furthermore, in the speaker 1 of this embodiment, the holding mechanism 7 includes a protrusion 71 that protrudes from the surface of the speaker body 2, and a recess 72 formed in the stand 3 into which the protrusion 71 fits. When the protrusion 71 of the speaker body 2 is fitted into the recess 72 of the stand 3, the protrusion 71 of the speaker body 2 can be suitably held in the recess 72 of the stand 3. This allows the stand 3 to be suitably held in relation to the speaker body 2, effectively preventing the stand 3 from unexpectedly detaching from the speaker body 2.

[0042] Furthermore, in the speaker 1 of this embodiment, the protrusions 71 of the speaker body 2 that constitute the holding mechanism 7 are the first and second protruding portions 15A and 15B that protrude from the edges of the bottom surface 10b and the back surface 10d (second surface) adjacent to the side surface 10e (first surface) of the flat plate-shaped side wall portion 15 (wall portion) that constitutes the side surface 10e (first surface) of the housing 10. Since the protrusions 71 are the protruding portions 15A and 15B of the side wall portion 15 of the housing 10, the structure of the speaker body 2 including the housing 10 can be simplified compared to the case in which the protrusions 71 are made of a separate component from the housing 10.

[0043] Furthermore, in the speaker 1 of this embodiment, the storage section 11 is formed by utilizing the bottom surface 10b (second surface) of the housing 10 and the first protruding portion 15A that protrudes from the edge of the bottom surface 10b and forms the convex portion 71 of the holding mechanism 7. In other words, the first protruding portion 15A is utilized for both the storage section 11 and the convex portion 71 of the holding mechanism 7. This further simplifies the structure of the speaker body 2.

[0044] Furthermore, in the speaker 1 of this embodiment, the storage section 11 has a locking section 81, and the stand 3 has a locking section 82 that is detachably locked to the locking section 81 when the stand 3 is stored in the storage section 11. These locking section 81 and locking section 82 allow the stand 3 to be held in the storage section 11.

[0045] Although the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0046] In the present invention, the holding mechanism 7 may include, for example, a protrusion formed on the stand 3 and a recess formed on the speaker body 2 into which the protrusion fits.

[0047] In the present invention, the storage compartment 11 only needs to be provided on a surface of the speaker body 2 adjacent to at least the output surface 10a. For this reason, the storage compartment 11 is not limited to the bottom surface 10b of the speaker body 2, but may also be provided on, for example, the top surface 10c or the side surface 10e of the speaker body 2. In other words, the storage compartment 11 may be provided on a surface other than the back surface 10d of the speaker body 2.

[0048] In the present invention, the housing 10 of the speaker body 2 is not limited to a hexahedron, but may be formed into any polyhedron, such as an octahedron.

[0049] In the present invention, the first support surface 3b and the second support surface 3c of the stand 3 are not limited to supporting the first and second protruding portions 15A and 15B, but may also support, for example, the bottom surface 10b and the back surface 10d of the speaker body 2.
