Abstract

An in-cord detachable ear hanger for an in-ear phone is provided. The ear hanger can protect the in-ear phone from being pulled off position from the user's ear when the user or any nearby person accidentally pulls the cable connected to the earphone set in a jerked manner. The ear hanger includes a shank body, a substantially hook-like portion, and a cable grasping means in substantially anchor-like shape. The hook-like portion is shaped in such a manner as to snugly fit to the back of a user's ear. The cable grasping means can grasp a selected portion of the cable, by which a margin length of the cable is left between the ear hanger and the speaker element inserted in the user's ear. During use of the in-ear phone, when any part of the cable other than the margin length is pulled in a jerked manner, the ear hanger would be pulled off the ear, but in most of the cases the speaker element would still stay in position in the user's ear.
