Abstract

A speaker assembly and a display device including the speaker assembly are provided. The speaker assembly may include a first speaker, a first magnet provided on a side of the first speaker, a second speaker, a second magnet provided on a side of the second speaker that faces the side of the first speaker and having a magnetic polarity different from a magnetic polarity of the first magnet, a first bracket provided under the first speaker to support the first speaker, and a second bracket provided under the second speaker to support the second speaker, the second bracket configured to slide out from the first bracket.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A speaker assembly comprising:
a first speaker;
a first magnet provided on a side of the first speaker;
a second speaker;
a second magnet provided on a side of the second speaker that faces the side of the first speaker and having a magnetic polarity different from a magnetic polarity of the first magnet;
a first bracket provided under the first speaker to support the first speaker; and
a second bracket provided under the second speaker to support the second speaker,
wherein the second bracket is configured to slide out from the first bracket,
wherein the second bracket includes a hanging portion having a bent shape that extends from a side of the second bracket, and
wherein the second speaker includes a fixing groove, into which the hanging portion is inserted.

2. The speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first bracket includes a bottom, which is elongated, and a first support that extends upward from a side of the bottom,
wherein the second bracket includes a second support, which is elongated and provided at a same height as a height of the first support, and a rail, which is formed on a side of the second support in a longitudinal direction, and
wherein the first bracket further includes a slider that extends upward from the side of the bottom and wraps around the rail.

3. The speaker assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first bracket includes a first side wall between the bottom and the first support, and
wherein the second bracket includes a second side wall having a same height as a height of the first side wall, positioned on a side of the rail, and that faces the first side wall.

4. The speaker assembly of claim 3 , wherein the slider faces the rail and the second side wall and wraps around the rail and the second side wall.

5. The speaker assembly of claim 2 , wherein the rail and the second support form a height difference therebetween.

6. The speaker assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first bracket includes:
a fixing portion connected to the bottom; and
a third magnet provided on one surface of the fixing portion.

7. The speaker assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first bracket includes:
a fixing portion connected to the bottom; and
a hook provided on one surface of the fixing portion.

8. The speaker assembly of claim 7 , wherein the first bracket includes a fourth magnet configured to separate from the hook and provided on one surface of the fixing portion.

9. The speaker assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first bracket includes:
a fixing portion connected to the bottom of the first bracket; and
a third magnet provided on a surface of the fixing portion that faces away from the first speaker.

10. The speaker assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first bracket includes:
a fixing portion connected to the bottom of the first bracket; and
a hook provided on a surface of the fixing portion that faces away from the first speaker.

11. The speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fixing groove is formed on a back surface of the second speaker, and
wherein the hanging portion extends from the side of the second bracket toward the back surface of the second speaker.

12. A speaker assembly comprising:
a first speaker having a first magnet;
a second speaker having a second magnet, the second magnet having an opposite polarity than a polarity of the first magnet and facing the first magnet;
a first bracket that supports the first speaker and having a side that extends upward from a bottom of the first bracket, the side having a slider opposite from the bottom of the first bracket; and
a second bracket configured to slide out from the first bracket and to support the second speaker, the second bracket having a rail that extends longitudinally along a side of the second bracket, wherein the slider of the first bracket is configured to wrap around the rail of the second bracket.

13. A speaker assembly comprising:
a first speaker having a first magnet;
a second speaker having a second magnet and configured to couple to the first speaker via a magnetic connection between the first magnet and second magnet;
a first bracket to support the first speaker; and
a second bracket coupled to the first bracket to support the second speaker,
wherein the first bracket includes:
a fixing portion that fixes the first bracket to a surface; and
a first support that supports the first speaker,

wherein the second bracket includes:
a second support; and
a hanging portion that extends from the second support,

wherein the second support, and the hanging portion are stepped,
wherein the hanging portion is configured to be inserted into a lower part of the second speaker, and
wherein the second speaker includes a stepped portion; and an insertion portion carved from a side of the stepped portion, and the hanging portion is inserted into the insertion portion through the stepped portion.
