Patent ID: 7967104

Claim:
An improved shippable speaker enclosure, comprising: a) five panels flexibly coupled in a linearly aligned sequence with four flexible couplings formed by a flexible substrate adhered to each of said five panels, comprising: i. a middle panel comprising four sides; ii. first and second intermediate panels, each flexibly coupled to said middle panel on one of two opposite sides of said four sides, in said linearly aligned sequence; iii, first and second outermost panels, each flexibly coupled to one respective said intermediate panel in said linearly aligned sequence; iv. a covering adhered to said substrate; v. said five panels operable to be folded together into a configuration where said first and second intermediate panels and said first and second outermost panels are stacked generally parallel to each other without uncoupling said four flexible couplings; b) a sixth panel, comprising a first side panel sized and shaped to be circumferentially engaged by said five panels; c) a seventh panel, comprising a second side panel sized and shaped to be circumferentially engaged by said five panels, wherein said five panels, said sixth panel, and said seventh panel comprise seven panels operable to be assembled into said improved shippable speaker enclosure; d) said five panels, foldable into said configuration wherein four panels of said five panels are parallel and said four flexible couplings remain coupled; and e) said sixth and said seventh panels are stackable parallel to said four parallel panels to form a stack.
