Abstract
A magnetic recoil fastener assembly comprises a fastener with a head and a shank, and two annular magnets. When assembled, the annular magnets are arranged on the shank of the fastener to magnetically repel each other. At least the magnet arranged closer to the head of the fastener has a varying inner diameter of its axial opening, including a first diameter at one end which is larger than the width of the head, and a second diameter which is smaller than the width of the head. The end having the larger first diameter is arranged facing the head of the fastener. Also described are in-wall speaker assemblies including such magnetic recoil fastener assemblies for magnetically mounting speaker grilles in an adjustable manner, as well as methods for installing such in-wall speaker assemblies using such magnetic recoil fastener assemblies.
