Abstract

An electronic device such as a TV set has a casing ( 11 ), a loudspeaker unit ( 18, 24 ), a first surface ( 21 ) of which faces a wall ( 11 ) of the casing. Retaining means ( 17 ) are formed in the casing so as to face a second surface ( 20 ) of the loudspeaker unit ( 18, 24 ). The loudspeaker unit ( 18, 24 ) is received between the wall ( 11 ) and the retaining means ( 17 ) of the casing, and there are at least one first vibration absorbing body ( 19 ) forming a spacer between the first surface ( 21 ) and the wall ( 11 ) and at least one second vibration absorbing body ( 19 ) forming a spacer between the second surface ( 20 ) of the loudspeaker unit and the retaining means ( 17 ).

Claims (15)

1. An electronic device comprising

a casing;

a loudspeaker unit that comprises a loudspeaker and a hollow shell, a first surface of which faces a first wall of the casing;

retaining means formed in the casing so as to face a second surface of the hollow shell;

wherein the hollow shell is received between said first wall ( 11 ) and the retaining means of the casing, at least one first vibration absorbing body forming a spacer between the first surface and the first wall and at least one second vibration absorbing body forming a spacer between the second surface of the hollow shell and said retaining means.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , comprising at least four of said vibration absorbing bodies.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 . wherein a recess for receiving part of a vibration absorbing body is provided in at least one of said first wall ( 11 ), said retaining means and said hollow shell.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein said hollow shell has at least one opening wherein the loudspeaker is mounted.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first wall is an outer wall of the casing, wherein two openings face said wall, and wherein sound passages are formed in said wall corresponding to said openings.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the surface facing the outer wall has at least two facets forming an obtuse angle, and wherein one of said openings is formed in each facet.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein said first wall forms a bottom side of said casing.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the first wall is curved so as to form, at its inner side, a space for receiving the loudspeaker unit and, at its outer side, a resting point of the casing.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein at least two more resting points are formed by legs projecting from the body of the casing.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the loudspeaker unit is a subwoofer unit.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the device is a TV set.
