Abstract

A speaker rack for use with spas including a first and second member with the second member comprising generally extending members. The first member is coupled to the generally extending members of the second member. This first member allows for support, helps an individual move the speaker rack into different positions easily, and acts as a place to hang towels, clothing, and the like. Multi-position detents attach to the second member and allow for the speaker rack to be placed in an extreme upward position, an extreme downward position, and positions in between. Speakers that can be swiveled and pivotally mounted attach to speaker attachment means on the generally extending members of the second member, and speaker wiring may run through an aperture in the second member and attach to an output device allowing for entertainment while in or around the spa.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A foldable speaker rack for use with a spa to hold speakers comprising: 
 a transverse member having a diverging end from its axis and a second opposite diverging end, said transverse member adaptable to the spa for association thereto, said transverse member moveably held in either an upright or folded position, and said diverging ends adaptable for association with the speakers;    whereby said foldable speaker rack can be secured in an upright position for use, or alternatively a folded position so as not to be in the way.    
     
     
         2 . A foldable speaker rack for use with a spa to hold speakers as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising, 
 a support member, said support member coupled to and extending between said diverging ends;    one or more positioning members, said transverse member pivotally coupled to said positioning members.    
     
     
         3 . A foldable speaker rack for use with a spa to hold speakers as set forth in  claim 2 , further comprising 
 a housing unit having a plurality of apertures, said housing unit adaptable to the spa for association thereto, said housing unit surrounding said transverse member and said positioning members.    
     
     
         4 . A foldable speaker rack for use with a spa to hold speakers as set forth in  claim 3 , further comprising 
 a table element having an engagement member, said table element coupled to said support member.    
     
     
         5 . A foldable speaker rack for use with a spa to hold speakers as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein 
 said speakers swivel and are pivotally coupled to said diverging ends.    
     
     
         6 . A foldable speaker rack for use with a spa to hold speakers as set forth in  claim 4 , 
 said transverse member and said support member having the ability to telescopically extend.    
     
     
         7 . A foldable speaker rack for use with a spa to hold speakers as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein 
 said diverging ends curve in an upward direction.    
     
     
         8 . A support structure for mounting a speaker in proximity to its intended use, comprising: 
 an assembly element adaptable on at least one end for engagement to the speaker wherein the assembly element is movably held in at least two positions, one being an operational position for listening to music through the speaker, and the other position is a retracted position allowing the speaker to project in a generally opposite direction and wherein the assembly element is configured to be held in proximity to a predetermined location, and wherein the assembly element rotatably held in said predetermined position;    whereby said support structure can be secured in an upright position for use, or alternatively a folded position so as to project in a generally opposite direction.    
     
     
         9 . A support structure for mounting a speaker in proximity to its intended use as set forth in  claim 8 , further comprising 
 a support member coupled to said assembly element;    one or more positioning members, said assembly element pivotally coupled to said positioning members.    
     
     
         10 . A support structure for mounting a speaker in proximity to its intended use as set forth in  claim 9 , further comprising 
 a housing unit having a plurality of apertures, said housing unit adaptable to a predetermined location for association thereto.    
     
     
         11 . A support structure for mounting a speaker in proximity to its intended use as set forth in  claim 10 , further comprising 
 a table element having an engagement member, said table element coupled to said support member.    
     
     
         12 . A support structure for mounting a speaker in proximity to its intended use as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein 
 said speakers swivel and are pivotally coupled to said assembly element.    
     
     
         13 . A support structure for mounting a speaker in proximity to its intended use as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein 
 said assembly element and said support member have the ability to telescopically extend.    
     
     
         14 . A support structure generally having at least one extending portion with an end adaptable to receive a speaker and a portion adaptable for being held in an erected condition or alternatively in a folded condition; and wherein said support structure having a base from which to rotate about from said erected to said folded conditions, and vice-versa; and said base further being adaptable to securement to a predetermined location; 
 whereby said support structure can be secured in an upright position for use, or alternatively a folded position so as to project in a generally opposite direction.    
     
     
         15 . A support structure as set forth in  claim 14 , further comprising 
 a support member, said support member coupled to said support structure;    one or more positioning member, said base pivotally coupled to said one or more positioning members.    
     
     
         16 . A support structure as set forth in  claim 15 , wherein 
 said speaker swivels and is pivotally coupled to said support structure.    
     
     
         17 . A foldable speaker rack for use with a spa comprising: 
 a transverse member and a support member;    said support member comprising oppositely opposed first and second generally extending members;    said transverse member coupled to and extending between said first and second generally extending members of said support member,    one or more positioning members, said support member pivotally coupled to said one or more positioning members, said one or more positioning members coupled to a spa;    said oppositely opposed first and second generally extending members comprising speaker attachment means;    a first speaker, said first speaker coupled to said speaker attachment means on said first generally extending member;    a second speaker, said second speaker coupled to said speaker attachment means on said second generally extending member;    said first and second speakers swivel and pivotally couple to said speaker attachment means on said first and second generally extending members;    said one or more positioning members comprise multi-position detents;    said transverse member and said support member having the ability to telescopically extend;    whereby said speaker rack can be secured in an upward position, a downward position or a position in between.    
     
     
         18 . A foldable speaker rack for use with a spa comprising:
