Speaker and shower
An assembly may include a speaker supportable for movement relative to a reference external to the speaker and a speaker housing supporting speaker components operable to produce an audio output. A sensor is operable to sense a direction of movement of the speaker during movement of the speaker relative to the reference. Control components are operable to control the speaker components based on the direction of movement of the speaker relative to the reference. When the speaker is sensed to be moving in a first direction relative to the reference, an operational characteristic of the speaker components is controlled to increase or advance during movement in the first direction. When the speaker is sensed to be moving in a second direction relative to the reference different from the first direction, the operational characteristic of the speaker components is controlled to decrease or retreat during movement in the second direction.
1. An assembly comprising:
a shower device;
a speaker including
a speaker housing,
speaker components supported in the speaker housing and operable to produce an audio output, and
a rechargeable power source operable to power the speaker components; and
a stand operable to support the speaker, the stand including
a stand housing, and
a stand electrical circuit connectable to an external power source;
wherein, when the speaker is supported on the stand and when power is supplied to the stand electrical circuit, current is suppliable to charge the rechargeable power source, wherein, while the speaker is supported on the stand, the speaker components are operable to produce the audio output, and wherein, while the speaker is supported by the shower device, the speaker components are operable to produce the audio output.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising magnetic connecting structure operable to releasably support the speaker on the shower device, the magnetic connecting structure including a magnet supported by the speaker housing.
3. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein the magnet is a first magnet, and wherein the magnetic connecting structure includes a second magnet supported by the shower device and operable to cooperate with the first magnet to releasably support the speaker on the shower device.
4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the speaker includes a secondary coil, wherein the stand includes a primary coil connectable to the external power source, and wherein, when the speaker is supported on the stand and when the primary coil is energized, the secondary coil generates a current to charge the rechargeable power source.
