Abstract

An electronic device has a loudspeaker unit and a casing with a support, which receives the loudspeaker unit, and with a wall perpendicular to the mounting direction of the loudspeaker unit in the support. A vibration absorbing body forms a spacer between the loudspeaker unit and the support. An abutment protruding from the wall in the mounting direction contacts the vibration absorbing body.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a loudspeaker unit,

a casing with at least one support for receiving the loudspeaker unit,

at least one vibration absorbing body forming a spacer between the loudspeaker unit and one of the at least one support.

wherein the loudspeaker unit is held in every direction through the at least one vibration absorbing body, and wherein at least one support has lateral ridges so as to form rails adapted to guide a displacement of the loudspeaker unit in a mounting direction.

2. An electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one vibration absorbing body is made of foamed plastic material.

3. An electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one vibration absorbing body is shorter than the loudspeaker unit in a mounting direction.

4. An electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic device comprises:

a casing with at least two support for receiving the loudspeaker unit,

at least two vibration absorbing bodies, each forming a spacer between the loudspeaker unit and one of the at least two supports.

5. An electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the loudspeaker unit has at least one rectangular projection carrying each of the at least one vibration absorbing body.

6. An electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one rectangular projection is provided with at least one pin contacting each of the at least one vibration absorbing body.

7. An electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a plate is mounted to the at least one support in a mounting direction and stops the at least one vibration absorbing body.

8. An electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the plate is adhesively bonded to the at least one vibration absorbing body.

9. An electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein a protrusion of the plate engages a recess in the at least one vibration absorbing body.

10. An electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one abutment protruding from a wall in a mounting direction contacts the at least one vibration absorbing body.

11. An electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the device is a television set.
