Abstract

An outdoor rugged directional speaker system which can attach to any vehicle or sports equipment. Such a device when employed can remove the physical constraints of headphones while conserving privacy and sound pollution and disturbance towards others.

Claims

1. An audio apparatus comprising:

a housing;

a cavity positioned on a first side of said housing, said cavity having a perimeter edge bounding a recessed area;

a lid positionable to a sealed engagement with said perimeter edge;

said cavity adapted to removably hold an electronic audio device having digital audio files in electronic memory;

at least one loudspeaker engaged with said housing;

a connection to engage an electronic signal output of said electronic audio device to said speaker;

a rotational engagement of said housing to a mount;

said speaker configured to direct a stream of sound generated by said speaker from said electronic signal output; and

said housing positionable in said rotational engagement to direct said stream of sound along a line to intersect or run adjacent to a head of a user, whereby a said audio device positioned within said cavity communicates sound generated from said digital audio files in said electronic signal output to said speaker which emits said sound stream thereby enhancing hearing by said user of said sound in a noisy or outdoor environment.

2. The audio apparatus of claim 1, wherein said mount is engaged with a surface, and said speaker being positionable by a rotation of said mount to direct said sound stream toward said surface at an angle of incidence causing a reflection of said sound stream along said line to intersect or run adjacent to said head of said user.

3. The audio apparatus of claim 1, wherein said connection to engage an output of said electronic audio device to said speaker comprises:

a wired or wireless connection between said output of said electronic audio device and a sound processor positioned in said housing;

a power source engaged with said housing and in operative communication with said sound processor; and

said sound processor configured to amplify said electronic signal output communicated to said speaker, whereby decibel level of said stream of sound is increased thereby rendering said sound heard by said user louder.

4. The audio apparatus of claim 2, wherein said connection to engage an output of said electronic audio device to said speaker comprises:

a wired or wireless connection between said output of said electronic audio device and a sound processor positioned in said housing;

a power source engaged with said housing and in operative communication with said sound processor; and

said sound processor configured to amplify said electronic signal output communicated to said speaker, whereby decibel level of said stream of sound is increased thereby rendering said sound heard by said user louder.

5. The audio apparatus of claim 3, wherein said sound processor generates said signal output to said speaker in a manner generating a hypersonic stream of sound from said speaker;

and

said hypersonic stream of sound generating said sound which is audible only upon convergence of said hypersonic stream of sound with said head of said user.

6. The audio apparatus of claim 4, wherein said sound processor generates said signal output to said speaker in a manner generating a hypersonic stream of sound from said speaker;

and

said hypersonic stream of sound generating said sound which is audible only upon convergence of said hypersonic stream of sound with said head of said user.

7. The audio apparatus of claim 5, wherein said mount is engaged to the riding side of a surfboard and said housing includes a beacon activated by a detachment of said housing from said mount or said mount from said surfboard.

8. The audio apparatus of claim 6, wherein said surface is a surfboard and said housing includes a beacon activated by a detachment of said housing from said mount or said mount from said surfboard.
