Abstract: An improved manually operated flip dog mountable ceiling speaker enclosure, for ceiling or other panel installation, has a biased sliding ratchet block that can be latched in place by an extension from a T-handle of an integral actuator rod. The ratchet block is controlled in its sliding motion by alignment rods extending from a vertical portion of a base and slidingly received in alignment bores of the ratchet block. A face of the ratchet block has downward pointing ratchet teeth that engage upward pointing ratchet teeth on a barrel of a flip dog to hold the flip dog in a clamped position. Over time, the biasing springs may lose their strength, but the latching of the ratchet block obviates this problem.

Abstract: A manually operated flip dog mountable ceiling speaker enclosure, for ceiling or other panel installation, provides a plurality of flip dogs mounted tangentially on an annular flange around an opening of a speaker can and operated by either pulling on an actuator to create a cam-driven rotation to a radial alignment and a downward dog movement to a ratcheted clamping position, or by first rotating the manual actuator to rotate the dog and then pulling the actuator to pull the dog down into a ratcheted clamping position. Ratchet points on the dog are urged into ratchet points on a wall by a releasable biasing member. Three embodiments are illustrated.

Abstract translation: 用于天花板或其他面板安装的改进的手动操作的翻盖式可安装式天花板扬声器外壳具有偏置的滑动棘轮块，其可以通过从整体致动器杆的T形手柄延伸而被锁定就位。 棘轮块通过从基座的垂直部分延伸并且滑动地容纳在棘轮块的对准孔中的对准杆来控制其滑动运动。 棘轮块的表面具有向下指向的棘轮齿，所述棘齿与向上指向翻转狗的枪管上的棘齿相啮合，以将翻转爪保持在夹紧位置。 随着时间的推移，偏置弹簧可能会失去其强度，但是棘轮块的闩锁消除了这个问题。
