Dual-axis swivel speaker mount assembly

1. A dual-axis swivel speaker mount assembly for mounting a speaker to a supporting object, the dual-axis swivel speaker mount assembly comprising:

a base section for attachment to the supporting object, the base section including a base plate defining holes therethrough, two flanges extending upright from the base plate, and an end cap;

a central section;

a speaker section for attachment to the speaker;

a first pivot assembly connecting the base section and the central section pivotably about a first axis, a portion of the first pivot assembly located within the flanges and the end cap of the base section;

a second pivot assembly connecting the central section to the speaker section pivotably about a second axis, the second axis being spaced from and aligned in a perpendicular orientation relative to the first axis when viewed from a viewpoint distal to the speaker section and aligned with the first axis and the second axis, the speaker section being selectively orientable relative to the base section by pivoting at least one of the first pivot assembly and the second pivot assembly;

a first securing assembly for selectively securing the first pivot assembly against rotation, the first securing assembly including a pin having a graspable head on a first side of the base section that fits into any of a plurality of openings defined in the first pivot assembly and spaced circumferentially along about 180 degrees around the first axis;

a second securing assembly for selectively securing the second pivot assembly against rotation, the second securing assembly including a pin having a graspable head on a first side of the central section that fits into any of a plurality of openings defined in the second pivot assembly and spaced circumferentially along about 180 degrees around the second axis;

a third securing assembly for selectively securing the first pivot assembly against rotation, the third securing assembly defining a central axis aligned with the first axis, and including an axle and a knob, the knob being tightenable for the selective securement of the third securing assembly, the knob being located on a second side of the base section opposite the first side of the base section; and

a fourth securing assembly for selectively securing the second pivot assembly against rotation, the fourth securing assembly defining a central axis parallel to but spaced from the second axis, the fourth securing assembly including an axle, a knob, and an arcuate slot through the speaker portion located circumferentially around the second axis, the knob being tightenable for the selective securement of the fourth securing assembly, the knob being located on a second side of the central section opposite the first side of the central section.

2. The dual-axis swivel speaker mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein the central axis of the fourth securing assembly is between the second axis and the base plate of the base section.

3. The dual-axis swivel speaker mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first pivot assembly, the first securing assembly, and the third securing assembly are configured together so that the third securing assembly must be loosened and the first securing assembly must have its pin disengaged from the openings in the first pivot assembly before the first pivot assembly may be pivoted.

4. The dual-axis swivel speaker mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second pivot assembly, the second securing assembly, and the fourth securing assembly are configured together so that the fourth securing assembly must be loosened and the second securing assembly must have its pin disengaged from the openings in the second pivot assembly before the second pivot assembly may be pivoted.

5. The dual-axis swivel speaker mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein the openings in the second securing assembly are defined in the speaker section.

6. The dual-axis swivel speaker mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein the speaker section includes a speaker plate defining holes and slots therethrough.

7. The dual-axis swivel speaker mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein the speaker section includes a pivot plate through which the second axis passes, the pivot plate being permanently attached to the speaker plate at a 90 degree angle.
