Abstract

Kopfhörer mit
- einem Lautsprecher (1)
- einer Spule in Form einer elastischen Spirale (5, 8), wobei die Spule (5, 8) in dem Ohrpolster (3, 4) des Kopfhörers in ihrer Längsachse kreisförmig angeordnet ist, und beim Aufsetzen des Kopfhörers auf den Kopf deformiert wird und somit eine Induktivitätsänderung erfährt, und
- einer Einrichtung, die aus der Induktivitätsänderung ermittelt, ob der Kopfhörer auf dem Kopf aufgesetzt ist.

Headphones with
- a loudspeaker (1)
- A coil in the form of an elastic spiral (5, 8), wherein the coil (5, 8) in the ear cushion (3, 4) of the headphone is arranged in a circle in its longitudinal axis, and is deformed when placing the headphone on the head and thus undergoes an inductance change, and
- A device that determines from the inductance change, whether the headphone is placed on the head.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung gehört zur Audiotechnik und zwar zu den Kopfhörern mit Ohrpolstern aus elastischen Materialien.The present invention belongs to audio technology and indeed to the headphones with ear pads made of elastic materials.

Es ist ein Kopfhörer einschließend einen Lautsprecher und eine Spule, deren Induktivität gemessen wird und dadurch geklärt wird, ob der Ohrhörer sich in die Arbeitsposition befindet, bekannt (siehe dazu WO 99/14 982 A1 ).It is a headphone including a loudspeaker and a coil whose inductance is measured and thereby clarified whether the earphone is in the working position known (see WO 99/14982 A1 ).

Der bekannte Kopfhörer kann nur in Kopfhörern mit zwei Ohrhörern benutzt werden.The well-known headphones can only be used in headphones with two earphones.

Der Erfinder schlägt vor, diese Begrenzung zu beseitigen. Die Lösung ist mittels der Merkmale des Patentanspruches beschrieben.The inventor proposes to remove this limitation. The solution is described by means of the features of the claim.

Auf der 1 ist der vorgeschlagene Kopfhörer, Variante wenn Ohrpolster auch die seitliche Oberfläche bedeckt, Schnitt, auf der 2 ist Schnitt A-A, auf der 3 ist der vorgeschlagene Kopfhörer, Variante wenn Ohrpolster nur die Frontoberfläche bedeckt, auf der 4 ist Schnitt B-B schematisch abgebildet.On the 1 is the proposed headset, variant when earpads also cover the side surface, cut on the 2 is cut AA , on the 3 is the suggested headset, variant when earpads cover only the front surface on the 4 is cut BB shown schematically.

Der vorgeschlagene Kopfhörer schließt einen Lautsprecher 1 ein, an dem einen Ansatz 2 befestigt ist. Der Kopfhörer ist mit einem Ohrpolster ausgestattet, in der Variante auf der 1 bedeckt der Ohrpolster 3 auch die seitliche Oberfläche der Kopfhörers 1, in der Variante auf der 3 bedeckt der Ohrpolster 4 nur die Frontoberfläche der Kopfhörers 1. In dem Teil des Ohrpolsters 3, der nur die seitliche Oberfläche der Kopfhörers 1 bedeckt, befindet sich eine elastische Spirale 5, deren Ausgänge 6 mittels einiger Drähte 7 mit dem Ansatz 2 verbunden sind, in dem sich ein Induktivitätsmessgerät befindet. In dem Ohrpolster 4 befindet sich eine elastische Spirale 8, deren Ausgänge 9 mittels einiger Drähte 10 mit dem Ansatz 2 verbunden sind, in dem sich ein Induktivitätsmessgerät befindet.The proposed headphone includes a speaker 1 one at which one approach 2 is attached. The headphone is equipped with an ear cushion, in the variant on the 1 covers the earpads 3 also the side surface of the headphones 1 , in the variant on the 3 covers the earpads 4 only the front surface of the headphones 1 , In the part of the ear cushion 3 , the only side surface of the headphones 1 covered, there is an elastic spiral 5 whose outputs 6 by means of some wires 7 are connected to the approach 2, in which there is an inductance meter. In the ear pad 4 there is an elastic spiral 8th whose outputs 9 by means of some wires 10 with the approach 2 are connected in which an inductance measuring device is located.

Falls der vorgeschlagene Kopfhörer in die Ohrmuschel aufgesetzt wird (Variante 1, 2) oder an die Ohrmuschel angedruckt wird (Variante 3, 4), wird die Spirale 5 bzw. 8 deformiert, dabei verändert sich ihre Induktivität. Das Induktivitätsmessgerät stellt das fest und kann diese Tatsache der Quelle der Tonsignale, mit der der Kopfhörer verbunden ist, mitteilen.If the proposed headphone is placed in the outer ear (variant 1 . 2 ) or to the auricle (variant 3 . 4 ), becomes the spiral 5 respectively. 8th deformed, thereby changing their inductance. The inductance meter detects this and can communicate this fact to the source of the audio signals to which the headset is connected.

Die Verwirklichung der vorgeschlagenen Erfindung ist einfach.The realization of the proposed invention is simple.
