U.S. Pat. No. 6,349,142 relates to a structure of speaker use on ship, which includes a base seat, a vibration board connected to a shaft, and a coil seat connecting a coil. A coil housing enclosing an iron block therein, being made from iron is mounted in between the base seat and the coil seat so as to obtain an effect of magnetism concentration. Furthermore, a pressing machine is used to combine all parts into a unit. A screw and a nut are used to combine the vibration board, a rubber pad, the base seat, a connection board, and a top cover. The rubber pad is used to mount the housing at the connection board. At the bottom of the housing, a mounting rubber ring is provided to allow the passage of power source wires. This patent obtains a certain utility and was allowed. But in use of the speaker, the inventor finds that it can still be improved. Since the speaker is used on a ship, water is easy to spill allover and is possibly leaking into the speaker from the combining gap between the housing and the top cover since both of which are made of metal. This shortage needs to be solved.
The present invention is aimed to overcome the drawback of said previous patent of the same inventor. That is, the present invention is to provide a waterproof speaker use on ship, which also includes a screw and a nut are used to combine a vibration board, a first rubber pad, a base seat, a connection board, and a top cover combining with a housing. The first rubber pad is used to mount the housing at the connection board. At the bottom of the housing, a mounting rubber ring is provided to allow the passage of power source wires. The present is characterized in that a second rubber pad is provided between the vibration board and the top cover, which can seal the gap between the housing and the top cover that prevents from water leaking into the speaker. It therefore obtains improvement and utility. Now, accompanying with drawings, the character and structure of the present invention will be disclosed as following.
Please refer to
A characteristic of the present invention is to provide a second rubber pad 2050 is provided between the vibration board 2100 and the top cover 3100, wherein the second rubber pad 2050 has a convex rim 2055 to engage with the vibration board 2100. After connection, the second rubber pad 2050 will be capable of sealing the gap between the housing 3000 and the top cover 3100 that prevents from water leaking into the speaker. Moreover, the screw 2900 penetrates the second rubber pad 2050 and then connects to the nut 2910 that can thus increase effect of waterproof because of elastic character of the second rubber pad 2050.
Therefore, the present invention obviously obtains improvement and facilitates. And it is to be understood that any modified design according to the merit of the present invention will be still claimed in this application.
The present invention is an improvement of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/412,576, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,349,142.
