It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
[0055] In describing the invention, it will be understood that a number of
techniques and steps are disclosed. Each of these has individual benefit and each can also be used in conjunction with one or more, or in some cases all, of the other disclosed techniques. Accordingly, for the sake of clarity, this description will refrain [0056] from repeating every possible combination of the individual steps in an unnecessary fashion. Nevertheless, the specification and claims should be read with the understanding that such combinations are entirely within the scope of the invention and the claims.
[0057] New mobile device holding bays are
discussed herein. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention.
[0058] The present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the invention, and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific inventions embodiments illustrated by the figures above or descriptions below.
[0059] The present invention will now be described by referencing the appended figures. FIG. 1 depicts a top center, front full view of the present invention 900. The four inch diameter PVC pipe 2 is first cut to 9 and ⅜ inches. In preferred embodiments, the pipe 2 is longer by ½ inch making it a total of 9⅞ inches. This preferred embodiment results in no longer requiring a carving in the center of the spruce wood 1 mm larger than the circumference of the speaker magnet 504 of FIG. 17. The center carving 504 is ¼ inch out of the ½ inch total thickness of the spruce wood 503. In other further embodiments the pipe may be cut at any length. A plurality of holes is necessary in the pipe for all multimedia device 900 of FIG. 20; components as displayed further in FIG. 1 and within the other drawings. One extra hole is thus necessary in the present invention compared to a preferred embodiment; whereas there is no longer a need for a rectangular hole in the bottom of the pipe 2 for charger's circuitry's protrusion 63 of FIG. 18 into the box base 11 of FIG. 18. The capability of the m18 (for 18 volt battery charging) circuitry to be removed, the board then is able to be reduced in size by around 50% and while only one of the dimensions is needed to be reduced for achieving entire encasement into the pipe 2, there is more than sufficient area in the pipe after the circuit boards 63 reduction in parts and size to only accommodate m12 XC battery charging. Example of an alternative embodiment: LaiPuDuo M12 lithium Ion charger on Amazon. There is flexibility in sizes required for the charger 63 to fit in the pipe 2 so the exact 50% in circuit board reduction is not necessary. This preferred embodiment would have any of the given dimensions (length or width) to be 3 inches diameter while the other dimension may remain the same of 5 inches however no higher than this. In another embodiment, with the circuit board 63 entirely encased in the pipe 2, the battery 4 may be stored and used within the box base 11 with a re-routing of the necessary five DC wires 611A-E of FIG. 13 extended and a battery terminal plug 6 positioned touching the box base's 11 front wall at the bottom right corner, facing in a vertical position with two possible extra m12 XC battery packs 4 stored beside eachother within the original box base 11, or a box based reduced in height FIG. 16A,B. This box base may either have a small-hinged, large door, or large clip-on door located at the bottom of the box base 11 for battery 4 access and manual plug 6 attachment and removal; from within the box base 11. In a preferred embodiment, the battery access door can be of any size larger than the m12 XC battery pack 4 and may be composed of plastic or another material. Further, in another embodiment, two circuit board chips (yellow and green) currently obstructing the internal battery bay from being secured to the pipe's 2 interior may be repositioned anywhere from the center of the circuit board 63 progressing leftward so that mounting of the internal battery bay 950 of FIG. 23A,B to the pipe's 2 interior becomes possible. This will allow the battery to fully enter the pipe and be entirely enclosed.
631 of FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 displays a rectangular hole 631 of FIG. 4 cut 7¼ inch long×2⅛ inch wide to accommodate the XRM59BT car stereo's head unit 1. This hole 631 is made at what will be the near top of the boombox. In another embodiment, the head unit 1 can be in the top dead center of the multimedia device 900. Currently, the head unit's 1 front panel is angled 5 degrees towards the front of the multimedia device 900. The rear border of the head unit's front panel 1 is pressed and secured onto the pipe 2 by the two ¾ inch self drilling screws 15,37 located at [0060] the center of the two sides of the head unit's 1 front panel.
[0061] The secondary component enclosure is the box base 11 of FIG. 1 and many other drawings. This paragraph is in regards to all aspects of the bottom area of the multimedia device 900: The box base 11 is transparent and measures 5½ inches long×3¾ inches wide×3 inches deep. Its top is open so that the charger's circuit board 63 can partly enter its top area by 1⅜ inch. the box base 11 has an upper front center, rectangular cutout for wires however this cut out is not necessary with the hole 975 [0062] of FIG. 23A nearby above it. In a preferred embodiment FIG. 16B, the height of this box base is reduced to 2 inches in height. lithe charger's circuit board 63 of FIG. 18 is reduced to around 50%, the box base 11 is no longer necessary. In order to stabilize the multimedia device, four of ⅛ inch L-bolts are placed in corresponding holes just after where the speaker cover sleeves 50,62 of FIG. 1 end on the pipe 2 and on the exact sides of the pipe, both front and rear, directly below where the carry strap 26 is screwed to the pipe 2. The speaker cover sleeves 50,62 of FIG. 1 push over the pipe as far as possible. These sleeves are prohibited from sliding any further than the beginning of the self drilling screws 39,40 of FIG. 4 directly below their heads. These ¾ inch self drilling screws are initially and primarily used to fasten and secure the head unit's front panel 1 to the pipe 2.
[0063] In a preferred embodiment where the battery charger's circuit board 63 of FIG. 18 is reduced by around 50%, the remaining preferred box base FIG. 16A,B may be used or the original FIG. 1 as solely a battery storage compartment with either a hinged or clip-on lid at the bottom center 2 cm less in diameter than the dimensions stated above; beginning of paragraph. This battery storage compartment will contain the terminal plug 6 to be used on one of the three possible m12 XC batteries 4 (For Milwaukee M48-11-2401). As displayed in FIG. 16A preferred embodiment, likewise in the original embodiment, both box bases 11 are suitable dimensions for up to a total three m12 XC battery packs 4. Each battery pack 4 consists of three lithium ion cells, is 12 volt 3 amp hour, or 36 Watt hour total.
[0064] The m12 XC battery pack 4 measures 1⅝ inch long×1⅜ inch wide×3¼ inches high. It enters the pipe 2 about ⅔rds its height and protrudes in a downwards and leftwards diagonal position about ⅓rd its total height.
[0065] The hole 95 in which the battery 4 enters, is 3 mm wider than the circumference of the battery 4 in all areas of its circumference that entirely matches its shape.
[0066] Directly above the hole 95 is a rocker switch 36 originally used on a 15 amp power bar by Globe. This rocker switch 36 has an A and B indicator in the drawing which indicates; A indicates Off as displayed on the switch. This setting will shut off all power to the head unit 1 which includes its memory as the memory wire is joined with the positive main power wire of the head unit (yellow and red wires). All presets are reset upon flipping the switch back from position A to position B. Leaving the [0067] switch on position B will preserve all presets however will sacrifice the energy of the battery and will drain it entirely prompting the operator to plug the two prong, 120 v AC wall cable 8 into a 120V AC wall outlet if they wish to use the multimedia device boombox 900. Plugging the 120V AC wall cable 8 into the wall, activates the battery charger 63 so long that there is the battery 4 connected fully [0068] with its battery terminal plug 6.
[0069] 4 of FIG. 1 displays the top part of the battery 4 where the 3 battery sensor terminals are located flat on the battery packs 4 outer surface, however; 43A-C of FIG. 5A displays the three prongs of the battery terminal plug 6 which are essential to be fully slid onto these three flat sensor terminals on the battery pack 4 in order for the battery charger 63 to get a proper reading of the battery's 4 status before engaging in its lithium ion charging process. These three prongs 43A-C are connected to a fraction; three of the five wires of 611A-E of FIG. 2 attached to charger's 63 circuitry. Without the battery charger's terminal plug 6 fully slid over the battery packs three sensor terminals, the charger's L.E.D lights; 7,65 of FIG. 18 will not light up and neither will the charger be activated when the 120V AC wall cable 8 is plugged into the wall. It is also possible these two lights may be flashing, one light then the other, repeatedly.
[0070] The battery's terminal plug 6 and its five of 12V DC wires are then enclosed by a 52 mm diameter heat shrink tube in FIG. 5A. The heat shrink tube FIG. 24 is cut to
shape to match the perimeter of the battery terminal plug 6 and sized to 3 inches long. In alternative and preferred embodiments, this heat shrink and process would be eliminated due to a fully covered and stationary battery terminal plug able to be secured inside of the box base 11.
[0071] 30,31 of FIG. 1 are the primary numbers which make up the carry handle 30 and antenna 31 of the multimedia device 900. The washer 33 is what secures the handle from prying on the PVC plastic pipe 2. The nut 35 is what secures the front washer 33 by sandwiching the pipe between an internal washer 32 and nut 34 of FIG. 23B. [0072] The carry handle's primary part is the ¼ inch diameter×4 inch long U-bolt.
[0073] Wrapped around starting from top to bottom, is the radio antenna 31; comprises a 4 foot long, 3.5 mm auxiliary cable. It then travels through the top of the rectangular opening in the box base, just below the ⅜ inch square hole 975 of FIG. 23A to then enter the ANT female socket outlet 200 of FIG. 13 on the rear of the head unit 1. In a preferred embodiment, this hole is no longer necessary as the wires 611A-E of FIG. 2 can remain within the pipe 2 along with their battery terminal plug 6. In another embodiment, this auxiliary cable may enter the hole 975 of FIG. 23A instead. This cable goes directly to the ANT socket outlet of the head unit 1 and does not need to be secured anywhere but at the socket point in which hot glue is applied. In a preferred embodiment, epoxy glue (JB weld) may be used at the head unit's 1 ANT socket outlet 200 and cured prior to use for extra longevity of adhesive between the auxiliary cable 31 and the ANT socket outlet 200; able to last many years longer than the current hot glue. The corresponding original car stereo ANT cable has a head that would be too wide for the internal area and would obstruct the internal battery bay 950 from fitting. A preferred embodiment may also use epoxy glued (JB weld) adhesive for extra long adhering of the internal battery bay to the speaker magnet 950 of FIG. 23A,B or to the pipe 2. Further details of the parts which make up the carry handle antenna will be explained in FIG. 23B In all alternative embodiments, epoxy JB weld may be instead applied, in all areas where hot glue was applied. 27,38 of FIG. 1 and all other figures point to over the door plastic hooks 27,38 [0074] which are cut to shape (triangle on the shorter end) FIG. 9 and FIG. 3 display this best, respectively. The ends of the triangles are flattened out so they are not pointy. The final cut is straight, horizontal and cut just before the hook bend; the longest end of the over the door plastic hook 27,38. The rubber loops 73,74 of FIG. 1 on the plastic over the door hooks 27,38 help secure the mobile device to some extent from sliding side to side when tilting the multimedia device 900. A preferred embodiment may have ridges throughout the rubber loop where the mobile device rests, as grips, and may also comprise of a wider rubber loop 73,74 of 6A attached. FIG. 6A provides a perspective on the width of the rubber loops. 55-58 of FIG. 1 is where the self drilling screws are installed. There is currently 1 per mobile device holding bay 27,38. The ½ inch left screw 57 is when facing the front of the multimedia device 900, the hole for it is 58. The ½ inch right screw 55 is when facing the front of the multimedia device 900, the hole for it is 56. In a preferred embodiment there are ¾ inch self drilling screws side by side in the same location to significantly improve the adhering strength of the mobile device holding bays 27, 38 to the pipe 2. FIG. 6A displays, in a feasible view, these two screws 55,57 of the two mobile device holding bays 27, 38 of FIG. 1 and other drawings.
[0075] 26 of FIG. 1 displays a neck strap made out of bonded leather. It measures 46 inches long×1⅙ inches wide. In other embodiments the material may be thicker and the carry strap 26 may be longer or shorter. One of the five premade holes 72 A-E of FIG. 1 may be used as a screw hole when shortening the carry strap 26.
[0076] 96,97 of FIG. 1, displays the front side ½ inch self drilling screw 96 and a ⅞ inch washer 97 for the carry strap 26 made of bonded leather. The other side 998, 999 is identical and is displayed in FIG. 6C. The screw is 998, and the washer is 999 for the rear right carry strap 26 attachment to the pipe 2.
[0077] 17 of FIG. 1 displays an EAGET 16 GB flash drive connected into the USB socket outlet of the head unit's front panel 1.
[0078] 82,83 of FIG. 1 shows the left side's, top front, ½ inch self drilling screw 82 and its hole 83. At the right side's, top front, is another ½ inch self drilling screw 47 and its hole 48.
[0079] At the left side of the multimedia device 900 is a speaker cover 50 made from a modified Canplas 4 inch DWM PVC Sewer Adapter Sleeve. The sleeve is modified at its flat end (the other end is pointed), four of ¾ inch×¾ inch square contours 202 A-D are cut out of each sleeve (quantity 2).
[0080] At the right side of the multimedia device 900 is a speaker cover 62 made from a modified Canplas 4″ DWM PVC Sewer Adapter Sleeve. The sleeve is modified at its flat end (the other end is pointed), four of ¾ inch×¾ inch square contours 201 A-D are cut out. These contours 201 A-D, 202 A-D are necessary so that the sleeves 50,62 can successfully slide over the pipe 2 and reach the screws 15,37 at the center sides of the head unit's 1 front panel. FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 shows both of these screws 15,37. These screws 15,37 are meant to fasten the head unit's 1 front panel in the center of its two sides.
[0081] There are four screws 82, 897 (front), 77,88 (rear), which secures and fastens the left speaker 500 to the pipe 2. These locations are displayed within various figures.
[0082] There are four screws 47, 891 (front), 86,92 (rear), which secures and fastens the right speaker 19 to the pipe 2. These locations are displayed within various figures.
[0083] In a preferred embodiment all screws; 47, 82, 891, 897 (front), 77, 86, 88, 92 (rear) for both speakers 500, 19 may be covered by wooden or plastic screw covers or covers of another material.
[0084] 36A,B of FIG. 1 displays a rocker switch that is closed when pushing the switch to the B position. When pushed to the 36 A position, the switch is now open and no electricity is sent to the head unit 1 and its internal memory. The switch has the purpose of prohibiting the head unit's memory from constantly draining the battery or to keep the memory presets if preferred. The positive red wire goes from the battery terminal plug 6 to the input of the switch 36. FIG. 20 displays this wiring in a diagram. Then both ends of the head unit's power wire and accessories wire (red and yellow big separate wires) are joined and soldered together at the output terminal of the switch 36. Once switch 36 is pressed to the B position, electricity is sent from the battery 4 and the charger 63.
[0085] Measurements for the switch 36 are 1¼ long×½ wide×1 inch deep. In a preferred embodiment the switch 36 is rated no higher than five amps which would reduce its size in depth by ⅓rd. The rectangular hole for the switch 36 is 1 mm in diameter less than the diameter of the switch 36. The bottom side of the switch 36 begins ⅝ of an inch above the top of the hole 95 and is also centered above the hole 95. The top side of the switch 36 is ¼ inch below the bottom side of the head unit 1.
[0086] The hole 95 starts at the top end of the box base 11. The right side of the hole 95 begins 7/16 of an inch from the end of the box base's 11 top right side.
[0087] Protruding out of the pipe 2 and into the top section of the box base 11 by
1⅜ inch; is the battery charger's circuit board 63 at a thirty five degree angle
from a horizontally leveled surface or the bottom surface of the box base 11.
[0088] Soldered in the far left bottom corner of the protruding circuit board 63 into 11 are two L.E.D's. The top L.E.D 7 comprises a green spectrum of light and is the indicator of a fully charged battery 4 when it is solid green. There are protections provided by this Energup charger's circuitry 63; A: No charge to a defective battery 4, Auto Cut off when short circuit. B: Stops when charger faulty detected. C: Stops charging when charging over (no float charge) and stops charging when overheat and battery cold protection. The bottom red L.E.D 65 indicates a charging battery when it is solid red. FIG. 18 shows these L.E.D's more closely. In a preferred embodiment where the charger 63 is entirely enclosed in the pipe 2, there must be a small square transparent plastic window that may be press fit into the pipe 2 directly beside where the L.E.D's 7,65 are on the charger's circuit board 63. This configuration still ensures that the green L.E.D is able to light up a room like a nightlight.
[0089] 8 of FIG. 1 is the 120V AC wall cable 8 and a two prong plug at the far end to connect into a 120V AC wall outlet socket. At the other end of the cable is spliced and soldered to the 120V AC input solder points of the charger 63.
[0090] The remainder of FIG. (Figures) will be kept breif by fully describing only the parts which have yet to be described; in order to avoid unneccessary repetition. The multimedia device's 900 is 10 inches long with only the speakers 500,19 attached
and not the speaker covers 50,62. The multimedia device 900 with both sleeves fully slid on the pipe 2 is a total of 11 13/16 inches in length.
