Square fan grille

An audio equipped fan is disclosed having a housing defining an inner cavity, a motor disposed at least partially in the inner cavity of the housing and having an output shaft extending therefrom that is rotatable by the motor, a fan connected to the output shaft of the motor and rotatable therewith, a grille connected to the housing and positioned in alignment with the fan, the grille having an interior side and an exterior side and defining first openings through which air may flow while the fan is rotated and second openings through which sound may travel, and having a speaker connected to at least one of the housing, motor, fan and grille and aligned on the interior side of the grille with the second openings of the grille so that sound may travel from the speaker through the grille. Related methods are also disclosed.

Method of manufacturing an audio equipped fan assembly

A speaker assembly is disclosed as having a shower device, a housing having openings through which sound may travel, and two speakers contained in the housing that project sound through the openings. The housing defines a recess that may be connected to the shower device. The speakers may be wirelessly connected to an external audio source and may be controlled by a wireless remote.

Speaker and showerhead assembly

A plumbing connector for the outlet portion of a toilet water input hose is disclosed. The plumbing connector may have a circular body (e.g., cylindrical body) having multiple flanges radially extending from the circular body. One or more of the flanges may each define at least one pyramidal recess or slot thereby reducing the cross-sectional area of a portion of each of the one or more flanges. As a result, the one or more flanges are configured to separate (e.g., break away) from the circular body at the reduced cross-sectional area portion of each of the one or more flanges to prevent a user from over-tightening (e.g., over-torqueing) the plumbing connector.

An audio equipped fan is disclosed as having a housing, and a grille connected to the housing, and defining first openings through which air may flow while the fan is rotated, and second openings through which sound may travel. The fan also has an annular lighting array configured to selectively provide lighting in a high power or a low power configuration, and speakers connected to the grille and aligned on the interior side of the grille with the second openings of the grille so that sound may travel through the grille. Related methods are also disclosed.
