Water-resistant device for protecting an electronic sound producing apparatus and loudspeaker system

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The water resistant device of the present invention is defined by the appended claims with a specific embodiment shown in the attached drawings.
For the purpose of summarizing the invention, the invention relates to a water resistant device for protecting an electronic sound producing apparatus and loudspeaker system from the deleterious effects of water or the like.
The water resistant device includes container means for containing the sound producing apparatus and a removable lid cooperating with the container for sealing the sound producing apparatus within the container.
A first loudspeaker, contained within a water resistant first loudspeaker enclosure is removably secured to the container.
In a more specific embodiment of the invention, the container includes an external layer of shock resistant material such as a polymeric material.
The container includes a base and sidewall, and a fastener means for removably securing the first loudspeaker enclosure to the container.
The fastener means includes a first and a second strip of material disposed respectively adjacent the container and the first loudspeaker enclosure.
The first strip of material is of rectangular configuration and is attached to the side of the container.
The second strip of material is of inverted T-shaped configuration and is attached to the loudspeaker enclosure.
The first and second strips are of the interlocking hook and loop type sold under the registered trademark VELCRO.
More particularly, a pair of the first strips of material are disposed on opposite sides of the container.
A second loudspeaker of the loudspeaker system is enclosed within a second loudspeaker enclosure.
A pair of the second strips of material are disposed adjacent the loudspeaker enclosures such that the first and the second loudspeaker enclosures are removably secured to opposite sides of the container.
A third strip of material of inverted U-shaped configuration is fabricated from VELCRO and is removably secured adjacent the first strip of material and between the first and second strips when the loudspeaker enclosure is attached to the conatiner
