Patent 11206470 was granted and assigned to Apple (company) on December, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An electronic speaker can include: a device housing that defines an interior housing cavity; an audio driver disposed within the interior housing cavity; and a foot assembly coupled to the device housing and operable to support the electronic speaker. The foot assembly can include: a foot assembly sidewall having an outer sidewall perimeter extending outwardly away from a central neck; a planar foot having an outer foot perimeter proximate the outer sidewall perimeter where an upper surface of the planar foot cooperates with an interior surface of the foot assembly sidewall to create an internal cavity within the foot assembly; a suspension system disposed within the foot assembly internal cavity and coupling the planar foot to the foot assembly sidewall. The suspension system can include: an isolator plate disposed within the internal cavity of the foot assembly and mechanically coupled to the planar foot where the isolator plate includes a channel projecting perpendicularly away from the planar foot towards the device housing; an isolator stop fitted within the channel and having an aperture formed through the isolator stop aligned with a length of the channel; and an isolator fastener coupled to the foot assembly sidewall and disposed within the channel. The isolator fastener can extend through the isolator aperture formed through the isolator stop and can be operable to allow the foot assembly sidewall to translate with respect to the planar foot.
