Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chin strap earphone comprising a circuit housing having an electrical circuit for a headphone, in particular for a chin strap earphone.
  • Headphones are generally as easy as possible for the convenience of the user. Therefore, in the design of headphones, the attachment of electrical circuits to the headphones is dispensed with as much as possible, and a signal output, e.g. on a stereo, delivers a ready for the headphones already prepared signal.
  • the DE 40 19 529 A1 describes, for example, a headset with a headphone and a circuit housing in which an electrical circuit for the headphones is housed.
  • the housing is connected via a cable to the headphones and has on the outside various types of actuators and switches, which lead to a total of a jagged, complicated structure of the housing.
  • the US 5,701,356 describes a circuit housing with an electrical circuit for a headphone to which an actuator is in the form of an outwardly projecting knob.
  • Chin strap earphones have a small housing which can be positioned under the chin in front of the user's chest and from which two elastic straps usually lead in a slightly curved course past the cheeks to the ears.
  • circuit housings for headphones raises problems, especially in the arrangement of elements for actuating the circuit.
  • the circuit housing should be as small as possible to bother the user as little as possible, but on the other hand should be arranged on the circuit housing according to some functional requirements, several actuators. These in turn should on the one hand be easy and recognizable to operate, on the other hand, however, can not easily be operated accidentally.
  • the problem arises technically complex, complex construction of the housing parts and complex assembly of the overall assembly.
  • the invention is the object of the invention to provide a chin strap headphones with a circuit housing with an electrical circuit that is simpler in terms of production technology and ergonomically improved.
  • a chin strap earphone has a circuit housing with an electrical circuit, wherein the circuit housing has a cover which is designed as an actuating element of the circuit.
  • the cover of the circuit housing is formed as a dial, which is rotatable about an axis mounted in the housing and is used to adjust the volume of the headphone.
  • a circular shape of the lid in preferably flat circular cylindrical shape of the housing.
  • the lid After mounting the lid can then ergonomically advantageous all the housing side formed by the lid serve as a rotary control knob, which can even serve for gripping the entire circumference at the edge of the lid, if preferably the circumference of the lid extends beyond the circumference of the preferably coaxial housing slightly.
  • the cover as an actuating element preferably has a scale which cooperates with a marking on the housing.
  • the cover as a rotary control can preferably be attached to a potentiometer of the circuit and operate this.
  • the connection of the lid with the potentiometer is preferably designed as a slip clutch. This makes it possible during the assembly of the lid in a simple way to align the scale on the lid with respect to the mark on the housing. For this purpose, the lid is placed with its slip clutch on the potentiometer and, for example, for zero alignment to the zero stop of the potentiometer and then slipped on slip slipping on until the corresponding zero mark is reached on the scale.
  • the knob in this direction of rotation reaches its zero mark before the zero stop of the potentiometer, the knob is not just continue slipping slip clutch on but now turned in the opposite direction and thereby takes the potentiometer now in this direction.
  • the potentiometer reaches now - if preferably the angle of rotation of the potentiometer and the range marked by the scale are the same size - in this direction of rotation in front of the knob its extreme stop, so that the knob with slipping slip clutch up to the extreme value stop of the potentiometer corresponding Turned graduation mark and so finally in this direction of rotation with the potentiometer can be aligned.
  • the lid may preferably be transparent to infrared rays. This avoids the production technology low the need to provide a window for infrared signal transmission, when the circuit for the signal transmission is equipped with an infrared transmitter / receiver.
  • the circuit housing according to the invention can also have one or more further actuating elements of the circuit. These may be, in particular, buttons which, for example, switch a microphone possibly also mounted in the circuit housing. Or they serve, for example, the operation of a radio receiver frequency search when the circuit is designed for example on RF radio signal transmission. However, other rotary encoders are also possible, for example, they can control the balance between the acoustic transducers for the left and for the right ear.
  • the further actuating element may preferably be arranged in a recess on the outside of the housing. This advantageously prevents accidental actuation of the element.
  • a sufficiently wide configuration of the recess as a recessed grip is advantageous for comfortable operation of the actuating element.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous for actuators at the back of the circuit package, i. on the side which lies on the chest of the user, while the opposite front is easily accessible with the lid according to the invention designed as an actuator.
  • This inventively possible arrangement of further actuators also on the back has the advantage that the actuators are not visible there when wearing the headphone and thus optically withdraw, which is particularly suitable for less often actuated elements.
  • FIG. 1 is a chin guard headphones 2 with two brackets 4 and two acoustic transducers 6 at the top of the bracket 4 recognizable.
  • the brackets 2 are connected to one another at a housing 8 and thus form an upwardly open bay.
  • the bracket 2 arched arcuately outwards, and the acoustic transducer 4 at the upper end of the bracket are directed inwardly with ear pads 10, which also point inward in the bay thus formed.
  • the ear pads 8 each have a passage 10 of two crossed slots to ensure a good acoustic connection from the transducers 6 through the ear pads 10 in the direction of the ears (not shown).
  • brackets 4 with the acoustic transducers 6 and the ear cushions 10 are elastically removable from each other by the bracket 4 are elastically deformable over its arcuate length transversely outwardly.
  • the bay formed by the brackets 2 can be elastically expanded, and the ear pads 8 on the acoustic transducers 6 can be inserted by the user in his ears, the brackets 2 along the cheeks of the user down to the chin, where under the chin the housing 6 as a connection between the lower ends of the bracket 2 on the chest (not shown) of the user rests, resting on the in FIG. 2 visible circular rear side 14 of the substantially circular cylindrical housing 8.
  • a recess 16 is formed in the back 14 as a depression for a push button 18. It extends from the lower edge of the back 14 toward the center.
  • a user can lift the housing 8 at its lower edge in the region of the trough 16 and from there in the trough 16 to the button 18 vortraste to actuate it.
  • the button 18 actuates a circuit which is concealed in the housing 8.
  • FIG. 2 invisible front of the housing 8 is shown in FIG. 2 designed.
  • a circuit housing 8 ' there is shown in plan view of a circuit housing 8 '.
  • the circuit housing 8 ' no own bracket with acoustic transducers - so no own headphones - on, but the top side a 3.5mm jack 20 ( FIG. 3 ) for a stereo jack plug.
  • the circuit housing 8 ' has a hook-shaped clamping clasp 22 protruding upward from its upper edge for attaching the circuit housing, for example, to the breast pocket of a shirt or a blouse.
  • the substantially circular cylindrical housing 8 ' has a circular cover 24 which is designed as a rotary knob.
  • the cover 24 completely covers the front end face of the housing, so that its annular edge contour is easily graspable for rotational actuation.
  • the lid 24 actuates a potentiometer 26 of an electrical circuit 28, from the sake of clarity in FIG. 3 only the board 28 is shown.
  • an infrared receiver is mounted for signal transmission, and the lid 24 is infrared transparent to signal transmission.
  • the cover 24 is inserted via a slip clutch 30 on the axis 26 of the potentiometer, which is rotatably mounted in the housing 8 'on the circuit 28.
  • FIG. 2 is on the outside of the lid 24, a scale 32 recognizable, which cooperates with a mark 22, 34 on the housing 8 '.
  • the value "0" of the scale marked by the arrow 34 and the clamping clasp 22 is additionally also marked by its not somehow rotated readability in the illustrated position, which is also to be understood as marking in the sense of the invention.
  • the position of the lid 24 can now be seen, in which he is rotated with respect to the rest of the housing 8 'and in which he has actuated the potentiometer 26 by this rotation accordingly.
  • advertising imprints 36 are attached.
  • FIG. 3 shows in the axis of the circular cylindrical housing 8 ', a micro-probe 38, which protrudes for actuation centrally from the rear side 14' of the housing 8 '.
  • FIG. 4 shows a variant in which a micro-switch 38 'in the middle of the front of the housing 8''- ie in the middle of the lid 24' - to operate.
