Title: Sound-reproducing support
IPC: H04R5/00
Filed: 2001-07-06
Abstract: 1. A sound-reproducing support comprising a message reproducing block (2) with a loudspeaker (3), a power supply (4) and a switch (5) displaced in a housing and a vessel to be placed therein, wherein the first power supply (4) bus is connected to the first output of power supply of the message reproducing block, and the second power supply (4) bus is connected to the second output of power supply of the message reproducing block via the switch (5), wherein said support is provided with a vessel weight sensor (6) and a coding block (7), an event detecting block (8) arranged in the housing, wherein the first outputs of said power supply of said vessel weight sensor (6), said coding block (7), and said event detecting block (8) are connected to the power supply (4) first bus, wherein their second outputs are connected to the second output of said message reproducing block (2), and the output of the vessel weight sensor (6) via said coding block (7) is connected to a first control input of said message reproducing block, a second control input of which is connected to an output of said event detecting block. 2. The sound-reproducing support of Claim 1, with said housing being equipped with an inner overlap serving as a surface for installing a vessel in said housing. 3. The sound-reproducing support of Claim 1, wherein said vessel weight sensor is a strain sensor mounted on said housing. 4. The sound-reproducing support of Claim 1, wherein said vessel weight sensor comprises a fixed part mechanically connected to said housing and a mobile part connected to said housing via at least one elastic element and mounted so that the weight of a vessel installed into said housing is applied to said mobile part. 5. The sound-reproducing support of Claim 1, wherein said coding block further comprises a control input connected to an additional output of said event detecting block. 6. The sound-reproducing support of Claim 5, wherein said event detecting block comprises a first, second, and third impulse formers, inputs of said first and third impulse formers being connected to said input of said event detection block, which in its turn is connected to said vessel weight sensor output, an output of said first impulse former being an additional output of said event detecting block and connected via said second impulse former to an output of said event detecting block and to an output of said third impulse former. 7. The sound-reproducing support of Claim 5, wherein said event detecting block comprises a switch, a resistor, a first, second and third impulse formers, said switch is operative to unlock upon the placement of said support on the surface and to lock upon the removal of said support from the surface, a first supply input of said event detecting block via switch and second supply input via said resistor are connected to inputs of said first and third impulse formers, an output of said first impulse former being an additional output of said event detecting block and connected via said second impulse former to an output of said event detecting block and to an output of said third impulse former. 8. The sound-reproducing support of Claim 1, wherein said housing is implemented with a possibility to fix the vessel installed into it. 9. The sound-reproducing support of Claim 8, wherein said housing is further equipped with a fixing ring out of an elastic material. 10. The sound-reproducing support of Claim 1, wherein said switch is operative to lock upon the placement of the vessel onto said housing.
