The present invention is related to a cabinet for consumer electronic
devices equipped with loudspeakers. Examples for such devices are audio
equipment like CD players, tape recorders, radios, and television
receivers. In particular, the invention is related to devices where the
loudspeakers form an integral part of it.The manufacturing of the cabinet
as an integral part by injection molding of their sticks requires a
molding tool for each type of cabinet. However, for marketing reasons it
is necessary to be able to present a serious of one type of devices, e.g.
portable audio devices distinguishing over each other in the design. This
causes increased manufacturing costs due to the need for individual
molding tools for each individual cabinet. The present invention suggests
a cabinet for consumer electronic devices comprising a main cabinet for
housing electrical and mechanical components of the electronic device and
further comprises a cabinet for a loudspeaker wherein the main cabinet
and the loudspeaker cabinet are separate individual parts being connected
in the factory in a non-detachable manner. In this way it is possible to
provide different designs for an electronic device, which are based on an
identical main cabinet. Thereby the invention significantly reduces
manufacturing costs compared to conventional cabinets for audio devices.
