Loudspeaker Bracket With Elastic Element Reduces Vibration

The patent introduces an elastic element as an intermediary component between the first and second loudspeaker enclosures. This elastic element acts as a mediator that allows the enclosures to be structurally connected for stability while simultaneously isolating them to prevent vibration transmission. The elastic element deforms under vibrational forces, absorbing and dampening the harmful vibrations before they can transmit to the second enclosure.

The patent changes the mechanical parameters of the connection between enclosures by replacing a rigid structural connection with a compliant elastic connection. The elastic element has specific material properties (elastic modulus, damping characteristics) that are optimized to provide the desired balance between structural stability and vibration isolation. This parameter change transforms the connection from a vibration-transmitting rigid structure to a vibration-dampening elastic structure.

The elastic element serves as a mediator that maintains precise positioning between enclosures while altering the vibrational characteristics. It provides a compliant connection that allows for accurate positioning during assembly and operation, but simultaneously modifies the resonant frequencies by introducing flexibility and damping into the system.

The patent modifies the stiffness and damping parameters of the enclosure connection by using an elastic element. This changes the resonant frequency characteristics of the system, lowering the resonant frequencies to avoid the harmful high-frequency vibrations that would occur with a rigid connection, while maintaining sufficient positional accuracy through the elastic element's controlled compliance.

The support bracket is constructed as a composite structure combining a rigid spacer component with an elastic damping element. The spacer provides the necessary mechanical strength and precise spacing dimension, while the elastic element integrated into the bracket provides vibration isolation. This composite approach allows both functions (precise spacing and vibration isolation) to be achieved simultaneously within a single integrated component.

The patent merges the functions of the spacer and the vibration isolation element into a single integrated support bracket assembly. Rather than using separate components, the elastic element is incorporated directly into the bracket structure, combining the positioning function of the spacer with the damping function of the elastic material in one unified component.
