Abstract

A microphone holder has a flexible support with a recess for receiving a microphone cable. Such flexible microphone holders are mainly worn by singers during song recitals, for example concerts, musicals, operas, etc., but are also used on instruments with a modified design. In the case of singers, the microphone holders are often bent to form a headset microphone with a microphone arm at the end of which is arranged a microphone capsule connected to a cable. The flexibility of the microphone holder enables the microphone capsule to be positioned next to the mouth of the person wearing the microphone holder. The object of the invention is to simplify the production of the microphone holder, to create an individually adaptable microphone holder and to eliminate the previously described disadvantages and problems. For that purpose, a microphone holder is provided with a flexible carrier and a recess for the microphone cable which is at least partially parallel to the carrier. The recess has an opening or groove substantially parallel to its longitudinal axis through which the microphone cable can be inserted into the recess. The advantages of the developments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Description

Mikrofonhalterung Microphone holder
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Mikrofonhalterung bestehend aus einem flexiblen Träger mit einer Aufnahme für ein Mikrofonkabel. Solche flexiblen Mikrofonhalterungen werden vor allem bei Gesangsauffύhrungen, z.B. Konzerte, Musicals, Opern etc., von den Sängern getragen, finden aber auch in veränderter Form Anwendung an Instrumenten. Bei Sängern ist die Mikrofonhalterung häufig zu einem Nacken- bugelmikrofon gebogen, welches einen Mikrofonarm aufweist, an dessen Ende eine mit einem Kabel verbundene Mikrofonkapsel angeordnet ist. Aufgrund der Flexibilität der Mikrofonhalterung kann die Mikrofonkapsel so positioniert werden, daß sie in der Nähe des Mundes des Trägers der Mikrofonhalterung angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a microphone holder consisting of a flexible carrier with a receptacle for a microphone cable. Such flexible microphone mounts are mainly used in vocal performances, e.g. Concerts, musicals, operas etc., carried by the singers, but are also used in modified form on instruments. In the case of singers, the microphone holder is often bent into a neck prong microphone which has a microphone arm, at the end of which a microphone capsule connected to a cable is arranged. Due to the flexibility of the microphone holder, the microphone capsule can be positioned so that it is arranged near the mouth of the wearer of the microphone holder.
Eine bekannte Mikrofonhalterung im Einsatz als Kopfbügelmikrofon ist in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Hierbei dient als flexibler Träger des Mikrofonkabels und des Mikrofons selbst ein biegsames Rohr, welches in einer Halterung liegt. Das freie Ende des Rohres ist soweit verlängert, daß es bis in den Mundbereich des Sängers reicht. Am freien Ende des Rohres wird eine Mikrofonkapsel angeordnet, welche im dargestellten Beispiel mit einem Schaumkorper verhüllt ist. Bei der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Mikrofonhalterung weist der Bügel ferner Schallwandler für die Kopfhorer- wiedergabe auf, so daß der Sanger auch seinen eigenen Gesang über den Kopfhörer empfangt.A known microphone holder used as a headband microphone is shown in Fig. 2. Here, a flexible tube, which lies in a holder, serves as a flexible support for the microphone cable and the microphone itself. The free end of the tube is extended so far that it extends into the mouth area of the singer. At the free end of the tube a microphone capsule is arranged, which is covered with a foam body in the example shown. In the microphone holder shown in FIG. 2, the bracket also has sound transducers for headphone reproduction, so that the singer also receives his own singing via the headphones.
Bei der Fertigung der bekannten Mikrofonhalterung wird das Mikrofonkabel an der vorderen Austrittsoff nung des Rohres eingeführt und durch das Rohr durchgezogen bis die Mikrofonkapsel am freien Ende des Rohres zur Anlage kommt Muß nun das Mikrofon - aus welchen Gründen auch immer- durch ein anderes ausgetauscht werden, so wird das Kabel nach vorne wieder herausgezogen und ein neues Mikrofonkabel samt neuem Mikrofon wie vorstehend beschrieben wieder eingesetzt. Da für verschiedene Einsatzgebiete und verschiedene Einsatzorte auch unter Umstanden unterschiedliche Mikrofone einzusetzen sind, ist es schon wahrend der Fertigstellung der Mikrofonhalterung notwendig, daß der Hersteller das Einsatzgebiet, den Einsatzort und auch Informationen über den Trager der Mikrofonhalterung kennen muß, damit das richtige Mikrofon einer Mikrofonhalterung eingesetzt wirdIn the manufacture of the known microphone holder, the microphone cable is inserted into the front opening of the tube and pulled through the tube until the microphone capsule comes into contact with the free end of the tube. For whatever reason, the microphone must now be replaced by another. so the cable is pulled out again to the front and a new microphone cable with a new microphone is inserted as described above. Since different microphones may have to be used for different areas of application and different places of use, it is necessary, even during the completion of the microphone holder, that the manufacturer must know the area of application, the place of use and also information about the holder of the microphone holder so that the correct microphone can be used in a microphone holder is used
Dies fuhrt zuweilen einer sehr umständlichen Herstellung der Mikrofonhalterung, die zudem nur von dem Hersteller durchgeführt werden kann, weil für den Einsatz des Mikrofons samt des Mikrofonkabels Sonderwerkzeug notwendig ist, welches nicht jedermann vorliegen hat. Deshalb ist bei den bekannten Mikrofonhalterungen sowohl die Herstellung, als auch die Reparatur recht umständlich, zeitintensiv und teuerThis sometimes leads to a very cumbersome manufacture of the microphone holder, which moreover can only be carried out by the manufacturer, because special tools are required for the use of the microphone together with the microphone cable, which not everyone has. Therefore, in the known microphone holders, both the manufacture and the repair are quite cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive
Die Erfindung hat zum Ziel, die Herstellung der Mikrofonhalterung zu vereinfachen, eine individuell anpassbare Mikrofonhalterung zu schaffen und die zuvor beschriebenen Nachteile und Probleme zu beseitigenThe aim of the invention is to simplify the manufacture of the microphone holder, to create an individually adaptable microphone holder and to eliminate the disadvantages and problems described above
Dieses Ziel wird durch eine Mikrofonhalterung erreicht, welche aus einem flexiblen Trager besteht und einem wenigstens teilweise parallel zum Trager verlaufende Aufnahme für das Mikrofonkabel aufweist, wobei die Aufnahme eine im wesentlichen parallel zu ihrer Langsachse verlaufende Öffnung bzw. Nut aufweist, über die das Mikrofonkabel in die Aufnahme eingebracht werden kann Vorteile der Weiterentwicklungen sind in den Unteranspruchen beschrieben. Die erfindungsgemaße Mikrofonhalterung erlaubt die problemlose Herausnahme und problemlose Einbringung des Mikrofonkabels ohne jegliche Sonderwerkzeuge Durch den von außen offenen Zugang zur Kabelaufnahme ist eine einfache Herstellung der Mikrofonhalterung und ein schneller Austausch des Mikrofons möglich.This goal is achieved by a microphone holder, which consists of a flexible carrier and has an at least partially parallel receptacle for the microphone cable, the receptacle having an opening or groove running essentially parallel to its longitudinal axis, through which the microphone cable in the inclusion can be introduced. Advantages of further developments are described in the subclaims. The microphone holder according to the invention allows the microphone cable to be easily removed and inserted without any special tools. The microphone holder, which is open from the outside, enables the microphone holder to be easily manufactured and the microphone replaced quickly.
Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand eines zeichnerisch dargestellten Ausfuh- rungsbeispiels naher erläutert. Die Zeichnungen stellen dar:The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. The drawings show:

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Mikrofonhalterung 1 mit einem als länglichen, flexiblen Tragerelement 2 ausgebildeten Mikrofonarm 3 der aus einem hautfreundlichen Kunststoff besteht. Der Mikrofonarm weist zwei Kanäle auf die parallel zueinander angeordnet sind. In dem ersten Kanal 4, welcher geschlossen ist, ist ein biegsamer Metall- korper, z.B. ein biegsamer Metallstab angeordnet. Der zweite Kanal 5 ist durch Ausbildung einer Nut an dem Mikrofon längs der Kanalausrichtung offen, wobei der Nutquerschnitt deutlich geringer ist als der Durchmesser des Kanal 5, welcher zur Kabelaufnahme eines Mikrofonkabels dient. Durch die flexible Kunststoffausbildung des Mikrofonarms ist die Nut selbst aufweitbar und bei Anlage eines Kabels in der Kabelaufnahme 5 versuchen die freien Enden 6 und 7 des Mikrofonarms sich wieder in ihre ursprüngliche Position zuruckzubewegen. Dadurch wird eine sichere Klemmung des Kabels, auch im rauhen Betrieb, gewahrleistet.1 shows a microphone holder 1 with a microphone arm 3 designed as an elongated, flexible carrier element 2 and made of a skin-friendly plastic. The microphone arm has two channels that are arranged parallel to each other. In the first channel 4, which is closed, there is a flexible metal body, e.g. a flexible metal rod is arranged. The second channel 5 is open by forming a groove on the microphone along the channel orientation, the groove cross section being significantly smaller than the diameter of the channel 5, which is used to receive a microphone cable. Due to the flexible plastic construction of the microphone arm, the groove itself can be widened and when a cable is placed in the cable receptacle 5, the free ends 6 and 7 of the microphone arm try to move back into their original position. This ensures that the cable is clamped securely, even in rough operation.
Fig. 2 zeigt eine bekannte Mikrofonhalterung, welche an einem offenen Kopfhörer angebracht ist. Die Mikrofonhalterung besteht aus einem Rohr 8, welches an einer Halterung 1 8 befestigt ist. Die Halterung 18 ist räumlich sehr nahe zu einem Lautwiedergabewandler einer Kopfhorermuschel 1 9 angeordnet. Durch das Rohr 8 ist ein Mikrofonkabel 9 gezogen, welches mit einer Mikrofonkapsel 1 0 verbunden ist. Das Rohr 8 ist biegsam ausgestaltet und erlaubt deshalb die gewünschte Positionierung zum Mund des Mikrofontragers. Die Mikrofonkapsel 10 ist in Fig. 2 ferner durch einen Poppschutz 1 9 verhüllt.Fig. 2 shows a known microphone holder, which is attached to an open headphone. The microphone holder consists of a tube 8 which is attached to a holder 1 8. The holder 18 is arranged very close to a sound reproduction transducer of a headphone cup 19. Through the pipe 8 a microphone cable 9 is pulled, which is connected to a microphone capsule 1 0. The tube 8 is designed to be flexible and therefore allows the desired positioning to the mouth of the microphone holder. The microphone capsule 10 is also covered in FIG. 2 by a pop protection 19.
Bei der Herstellung der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Mikrofonhalterung wird das Kabel 9 durch das Rohr gezogen, bis die Mikrofonkapsel 1 0 an der Rohroff nung anliegt oder teilweise in diese hineinragt. Durch die feste Verbindung von Kabel und Mikrofonkapsel muß bei einem Austausch des Mikrofons stets auch das Kabel 9 mit ausgewechselt werden und das neue Kabel durch das Rohr 8 gezogen werden, was aufgrund der Biegung des Rohrs nicht ganz einfach oder teilweise gar nicht möglichIn the manufacture of the microphone holder shown in FIG. 2, the cable 9 is pulled through the tube until the microphone capsule 10 bears against the tube opening or partially protrudes into it. Due to the fixed connection of the cable and the microphone capsule, the cable 9 must always be replaced when the microphone is exchanged and the new cable must be pulled through the pipe 8, which is not easy or not possible at all due to the bending of the pipe
Fig. 3 zeigt eine vergrößerte Querschnittsdarstellung einer erfindungsgemaßen Mikrofonhalterung. Hierbei ist deutlich der geschlossene Kanal 4 zur Aufnahme des biegsamen Metallkorpers zu erkennen und darüber ist der seitlich geöffnete zweite Kanal zur Kabelaufnahme dargestellt. In dem dargestellten Beispiel ist das Verhältnis der Durchtrittsweite der Nut 1 1 zum Durchmesser des Kabelkanals 5 etwa 1 :6, wobei bemerkt werden muß, daß selbstverständlich andere Verhältnisse zulassig sind, abhangig vom benutzten Material. Der Mikrofonarm besteht aus beispielsweise einem Thermoplast. In Fig. 3 ist das gezeigte Profil in einem Maßstab von 20: 1 dargestellt.3 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of a microphone holder according to the invention. Here, the closed channel 4 for receiving the flexible metal body can be clearly seen, and above it the second channel, open at the side, for receiving the cable is shown. In the example shown, the ratio of the passage width of the groove 11 to the diameter of the cable duct 5 is approximately 1: 6, it must be noted that other ratios are of course permissible, depending on the material used. The microphone arm consists of a thermoplastic, for example. In Fig. 3 the profile shown is shown on a scale of 20: 1.
In Fig. 4 ist der Mikrofonarm 3 mit eingesetztem Kabel dargestellt. Wiederum ist das Kabel 9 mit der Mikrofonkapsel 1 0 verbunden, jedoch durch die Nut 1 1 von außen in die Kabelaufnahme 5 eingelassen, so daß ein Durchziehen des Kabels durch die Kabelaufnahme nicht notwendig ist, sondern das Kabel seitlich in die Kabelaufnahme eingebracht wird. Am Mikrofonarmende ist eine Verschlußkappe 1 1 aufgesetzt, welche ein Ausziehen von Kabel und Mikrofon aus der Nut am Ende des Mikrofonarms verhindert und die Klemmwirkung auf das Kabel erhöht. Die Verschlußkappe 1 1 verhindert gleichzeitig, daß herabrinnender Schweiß zur Mikrofonkapsel gelangt.4 shows the microphone arm 3 with the cable inserted. Again, the cable 9 is connected to the microphone capsule 1 0, but is inserted through the groove 1 1 from the outside into the cable receptacle 5, so that pulling the cable through the cable receptacle is not necessary, but rather the cable is inserted laterally into the cable receptacle. At the end of the microphone arm a closure cap 1 1 is placed, which prevents the cable and microphone from being pulled out of the groove at the end of the microphone arm and increases the clamping effect on the cable. The cap 1 1 also prevents running sweat from reaching the microphone capsule.
Tragendes Element der Mikrofonhalterung ist, wie in Fig. 1 bereits beschrieben, ein Metallarm, der mit einem hautfreundhchen Kunststoffprofil umgeben ist, das aus kosmetischen Gründen in verschiedenen Farben ausgelegt sein kann. Das Metall- mateπal ist so ausgewählt, daß eine individuelle Einstellung des Mikrofonarms vom Benutzer selbst problemlos vorgenommen werden kann. Durch die Stabilität der Konstruktion ist garantiert, daß die einmal gewählte Form auch bei rauher Benutzung bzw. rauhem Transport weitgehend erhalten bleibt und dadurch bei jedem neuen Einsatz kaum oder nur geringe Neueinstellungen des Mikrofonarmes bzw. der Mikrofonpositionierung notwendig werden. Der Mikrofonarm mit der Kabelaufnahme laßt sich durch ein einfaches Schnitt- oder Sagewerkzeug in seiner Lange auf das gewünschte Maß verändern und damit dem optimalen Schallabnahmeort des Mikrofons anpassen.As already described in FIG. 1, the supporting element of the microphone holder is a metal arm which is surrounded by a skin-friendly plastic profile, which can be designed in different colors for cosmetic reasons. The metal material is selected so that the microphone arm can be individually adjusted by the user without any problems. Through the Stability of the construction is guaranteed that the shape once selected is largely retained even with rough use or rough transport and therefore hardly any or only slight readjustments of the microphone arm or the microphone positioning are necessary with each new use. The length of the microphone arm with the cable receptacle can be changed to the desired size using a simple cutting or sawing tool and thus adapted to the optimal sound pick-up location of the microphone.
Bei der Herstellung der Mikrofonhalterung wird das Mikrofon am Frontende des Mikrofonarms in die einziehende Nut 1 1 , siehe Fig 3, des Mikrofonarms in der gewünschten Position eingedruckt. Das Mikrofonkabel wird über den gesamten Verlauf des Mikrofonarms in diese Nut eingepresst, dort geklemmt und von dem Material des Mikrofonarms verdeckt.When the microphone holder is manufactured, the microphone is pressed into the retracting groove 11, see FIG. 3, of the microphone arm in the desired position at the front end of the microphone arm. The microphone cable is pressed into this groove over the entire course of the microphone arm, clamped there and covered by the material of the microphone arm.
In der Fig. 5 ist eine Head-Set-Konfiguration der Mikrofonhalterung dargestellt. Hierbei ist der Mikrofonarm der Kabelaufnahme so geformt, daß er als Halterung für ein kopfgetragenes Mikrofon dient, wie es bei Konzert-, Oper- oder Musikalische Darstellungen häufig zum Einsatz kommt Man erkennt an den Bugein 1 2 die Auflage und einen Verstellmechanismus 1 3 im hinteren Bereich, der die individuelle Anpaßbarkeit an die Kopfform des Mikrofontragers unterstutzt. Der Mikrofonarm 2 wird durch Klemmstucke 1 4 am Verstellmechanismus gehalten5 shows a head set configuration of the microphone holder. Here, the microphone arm of the cable receptacle is shaped so that it serves as a holder for a head-carried microphone, as is often used in concert, opera or musical performances. You can see the support and an adjustment mechanism 1 3 in the rear by the bow lines 1 2 Area that supports the individual adaptability to the head shape of the microphone carrier. The microphone arm 2 is held by clamps 1 4 on the adjustment mechanism
Fig. βzeigt eme Instrumentenhalterung der erfindungsgemaßen Mikrofonhalterung. Hierbei dient eine Klammer 1 5 zur Befestigung des Mikrofonarms 2 mit der Kabelaufnahme an einem Instrument (nicht dargestellt), z. B. an einem Schaltrichter einer Trompete. Die Klammer kann mit reibungserhohenden Material ausgelegt sein, was die Haftung am Instrument erhöht und gleichzeitig Beschädigungen des Instruments durch die Klammer ausschließt. Die Klammer kann am Instrument befestigt, der Mikrofonarm in die gewünschte Position gebracht und seine Lange optimal der Anwendung angepaßt werden. Das Mikrofon wird samt Kabel in die Nut des Mikrofonarms eingepreßt, anschließend wird das Mikrofon durch die Endkappe 1 7 gesichert. Die Klammer 1 5 weist eine geeignete Aufnahme 1 6 zur fixierten Anordnung des Mikrofonarms 2 auf. Fig. Β shows an instrument holder of the microphone holder according to the invention. Here, a bracket 1 5 is used to attach the microphone arm 2 with the cable holder to an instrument (not shown), for. B. on a switching funnel of a trumpet.
