Abstract:
A speaker device comprising:a speaker provided with a flange extending along the outer periphery, said flange including an annular edge frame member formed of a wedge board on the front surface thereof, and a holder including an annular seat surface over which said edge frame member is entirely laid, and engaging frame parts provided at three locations on said seat surface, said engaging frame parts being engaged with the rear surface of said flange to position said flange and press said flange against said seat surface, wherein said engaging frame parts include each a pair of supporting parts raised from said seat surface, a beam part being transversely extended between said supporting parts and curved inward when viewed from top, and an opening defined by said seat surface, said supporting parts and said beam part, said engaging frame parts, when predetermined locations of said flange are inserted thereinto, are classified into two first engaging frame parts which clamp two of said predetermined locations in cooperation with said seat surface, and one second engaging frame part which clamps said remaining predetermined location in cooperation with said seat surface, said second engaging frame part is formed integrally with said holder made of synthetic resin by one-piece molding, and a beam part of said second engaging frame part is formed as an elastic beam part being bendable outward and twistable, a distance between said seat surface and said elastic beam part in said second engaging frame part is somewhat shorter than the sum of a thickness of said flange at said remaining location and a thickness of said edge frame member, when said elastic beam part is twisted, said distance between said seat surface and said elastic beam part is increased, and said elastic beam part comes in engagement with the rear surface of said flange at said remaining location, an operating piece for twisting said elastic beam part protrudes upward from a mid part of said elastic beam part, and said operating piece is curved inward to take a curved configuration as viewed from top, and when said remaining location of said flange which engages at said predetermined locations with said two first engaging frame parts is pushed down to the vicinity of said seat surface, said elastic beam part of said second engaging frame part is bent outward by the outer edge of said flange at said remaining part, and when said edge frame member comes in contact with said seat surface, said elastic beam part is brought into elastic contact with the outer edge of said flange.
