Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Häkkbügel headphones.
  • Headband headphones are headphones in which the headband is worn not on the head but on the back of the head.
  • a transducer 300 is shown hooked on the ear, so that the bracket 100 and the rear ear hook rests on the ear root.
  • the neckband 100 stands in the neck area, as it would interfere with adjacent head movements.
  • the resting of the strap 100 or the rear ear hook directly on the ear root designed as disadvantageous, since there sweat and bruises forms quickly, especially at higher temperatures, so that it comes to a reduced wearing comfort.
  • this arrangement proves to be particularly disadvantageous for spectacle wearers, since Eyeglasses usually also rest on the ear root, so that the simultaneous wearing of glasses and such a headphone is not possible. Since no targeted pressure of the transducer is achieved on the ears of the headphone wearer, only a poor acoustics can be achieved. Since most headband headphones have a rigid strap transducer system, the acoustics of this headset are different for each head, so that a secure headset and thus optimal acoustics can be achieved only in very few people with appropriate heads and ears.
  • This headphone has a rear headband with two support points spaced from the two transducers. When these headphones are used as headband headphones, these two pads rest on the temporal muscle above the ear.
  • the back headband is designed to be adjustable in its length, so that a rough adaptation to the corresponding head of the headphone carrier is possible, but in this case no optimal pressure for the converter is guaranteed.
  • a headband earphone with at least one transducer and an occipital bow 10 for receiving the transducer 30 is provided.
  • the occipital bow 10 also has a first and second support for resting on a temporal bone of a Carrier of the headphone. The distance between the transducer and the first or second lay-up can be adjusted.
  • the transducer By adjusting the distance with respect to the support point, the transducer can be positioned exactly above the ear canal of the headphone carrier, without causing pressure points on the ear.
  • the transducer is pivotally configured about the occipital bow, whereby a corresponding angle between the transducer and temple of the headphone carrier can be adjusted, so that the transducer can be adapted to different ear shapes of the headphone carrier. This contributes significantly to improved pressure and thus improved acoustics of the headphones.
  • the rear headband 10 has a first portion 10 and at least a second portion 10b.
  • the first and the second section 10, 10b meet at a bending point (10a) so that a predetermined angle exists between them.
  • the transducer is arranged on the second portion of the Hinterkopfbügels.
  • the transducer 30 may be displaced along the longitudinal axis of the second portion of the occipital bow.
  • a length adjustment of the strap at the back of a headphone wearer can be done simultaneously to a Anyakanpassung. Since the transducer 30 is positioned on the ear of the headphone carrier, thus not the transducer but the rear headband with respect to the head of the headphone carrier is moved.
  • the second section is designed inclined inwards.
  • the second portion is convexly curved. Due to the convex configuration of the second section, the displaceable along the longitudinal axis of the second section transducer is also adapted in its angular position to the ear and at the same time at the head angle of the headphone carrier.
  • the transducer has a self-locking lock. Thus, it is prevented that the transducer is moved unintentionally in terms of its position to the support point.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a headphone carrier 1 and a Häkopfbügel headphones invention.
  • the headphone according to the invention consists of a rear headband 10 and a transducer 30 attached to the rear headband 10.
  • the rear headband consists essentially of a first and a second portion 10, 10b, which meet at a location 10a, which represents a fold.
  • the rear headband has a first portion which extends substantially horseshoe-shaped around the back of the headphone carrier.
  • the second portion 10b is arranged at a predetermined angle to the first portion, ie the second portion 10b is bent around the fold 10a.
  • the transducer 30 is arranged on the second portion 10b of the Hinterkopfbügels and can be positioned on the ear 2 of the headphone carrier.
  • a support portion 10i (dashed) is shown, which shows that portion of the occipital hanger, which comes to rest on the temple or temporal bone of the headphone wearer.
  • FIG. 2a shows a top view of the Hinterkopfbügel headphones FIG. 1
  • the first portion 10 of the Schukopfbügels is substantially horseshoe-shaped, so that when wearing the headset at the support points 10i a bias on the temples of the headphone carrier is present, so that there is a desired pressure present and a secure hold of the headphone is guaranteed
  • the transducers 30 are arranged in the region of the second section 10b such that they can be displaced along the longitudinal direction 10d of the second section 10b. Further, the transducers 30 are rotatably disposed about the longitudinal axis of the second portion 10.
  • the transducers are arranged both along the longitudinal direction 10d of the second portion and rotatable to the longitudinal direction, further Degrees of freedom of adjustability of the transducer can be realized and the adaptability of the headphone to the different head shapes and ear shapes of the headphone carrier is improved.
  • FIG. 2b shows a transport or stowage of the headphones FIG. 1
  • the in FIG. 2b Headphones showed two hinges 11, so that the headphone can be folded.
  • the transducers 30 are rotatably or pivotally mounted on the second portion 10b and has the hinges 11, the headphone can be folded so that it has only a small footprint.
  • the headset can be accommodated for storage, for example, in a spectacle case-like storage box.
  • the small pack size in the folded state is further advantageous in terms of transportation and storage.
  • FIG. 3a shows a further side view of a headphone carrier with a headphone according to the invention.
  • the second portion 10b of the Schukopfbügels is slightly convex.
  • a displacement of the transducer 30 along the longitudinal axis of the second portion thus also causes a change in the axes of rotation a, b of the transducer 30.
  • the changed axes of rotation a, b the adaptability of the headphone is improved to the respective ear shapes of the headphone wearer.
  • Due to the special design of the second section 10b an angle adjustment in the horizontal and vertical directions can be done in parallel.
  • Due to the configuration of the angled portion 10b the tilt angle of the transducer 30 can be varied. This tilt angle results essentially from the addition of the in Fig. 6 shown lateral head angle and the in Fig. 7 shown ear angle.
  • FIG. 3b shows a plan view of a wearer of a headphone according to the invention.
  • the second portion 10b of the headband referring to the leaf level of FIG. 3b also convex.
  • the pressure angle a, b is varied by displacing the transducer 30 along the longitudinal axis of the second portion 10b as well as by more elastic material cross-sections or materials for the second portion.
  • the pressure angle in this case represents the angle between the transducer and the head of the headphone carrier.
  • the pressure F of the transducer 30 on the ears 2 of the headphone carrier is achieved by the spring pressure of the first portion of the headband 10 and its bias due to their horseshoe shape and the associated bending.
  • the employment of the transducer by bending and torsion also contributes to the pressure F.
  • different ear angles can be achieved by the spring elasticity of the second section 10b given a constant shape of the first section 10 or the head leg shape.
  • the adjustment of the transducer is mainly used to bring the head leg to the head and for pressure adjustment between the head and ear.
  • FIG. 4a shows a further plan view of a support of the headphone according to the invention. More specifically, two adjustment states of the headphone become off FIG. 1 shown.
  • the headset is first roughly put on and the two transducers are positioned on the two ears 2 of the headphone carrier.
  • the first portion 10f of the rear headband is at a certain distance from the back of the head 3 of the headphone carrier.
  • the two support points 10h of the headphones are in this position usually a little above the ear root of the headphone wearer. Now the adjustment of the headphone to the special head and ear shape of the headphone wearer takes place.
  • the converter correspondingly positioned on the ears 2 of the carrier and the second portion of the bracket is displaced relative to the transducers 30. Since the two transducers 30 are already at the corresponding location, ie above the auditory canal of the headphone carrier, they are not the first and second sections 10, 10b of the bracket are moved. By the displacement of the second portion 10b, the bracket or the support 10i presses against the head and thus generates a pressure on the temple of the headphone wearer. By an easier locking of the transducer 30 on the second section and by providing a more flexible second section there is a division of Ohrandruck and Kopfandruck, ie by moving the Schukopfbügels the Kopfandruck is increased and reduces the Ohrandruck.
  • This pressing force which acts laterally on the head or the temple of the headphone wearer, is referred to as F K.
  • F K This pressing force
  • the first section 10 is likewise displaced so that a pressing force F HK results at the back of the head of the wearer.
  • FIG. 4b shows a side view corresponding to the top view FIG. 4a ,
  • the support point is designated by the reference numeral 10h
  • the support point is designated by 10i.
  • the second portion is displaced relative to the transducer so that the support 10i also shifts, which also results in the first portion of the bracket also displacing at the back of the head.
  • the first portion of the bracket in the first setting is loosely on the head, the first portion with the pressing force F HK is pressed against the back of the head 3 of the headphone carrier.
  • the transducers 30 are connected by a self-locking lock with the second portion 10b.
  • This lock can for example, by tilting, frictional engagement and / or by screening, it being ensured that the transducers give way in the event of overloading.
  • the first and second sections of the Schukopfbügels may have variable cross sections and are made of spring steel and / or plastic.
  • the bracket or the first and second portions of the bracket can preferably be designed in one piece. Thus, the bracket can be bent or injected into the desired shape and has only a low weight.
  • a further improvement of the adaptability of the headphone can thus be achieved by providing a more flexible second section 10b, ie the second section is made more flexible than the first. This can be achieved, for example, by changing the cross section such that the second section becomes flatter (as the first section).
  • an optimal adaptation of the headphone to the respective head and ear shape of a headphone carrier can be ensured. Furthermore, an optimal pressure of the transducer is achieved on the ears of a headphone carrier, whereby the acoustics of the transducer is substantially improved. This has a very positive effect on bass reproduction in particular.
  • the seat of the headphone Due to the direct ironing seat at the back of the headphone carrier, the seat of the headphone is not affected by a neck bulge during a head movement. Since the pressure points or the support points of the bracket 10i are made on the temporal bone or the temporal muscle above the ear, the headphone according to the invention can be worn in particular in combination with a pair of glasses, without causing a weakening of the wearing comfort.
  • the provision of the angled second portions or the spring legs, ie the transducer leg, a mutual moment equalization of the two legs in the point 10 a (of the left and right spring leg) is achieved, whereby a constant Pressure is ensured even with different head sizes.
  • the pivotally mounted or rotatably mounted transducers 30 around the tilted longitudinal axis of the second section effect a combined horizontal and vertical angle compensation at the ear.
  • elastic materials in the ironing connection of the converter can be provided.
  • a joint may be provided which has a sliding inhibiting effect.
  • the headphone can be adjusted according to the individual wearing sensation, i. Head pressure and pressure, can be adjusted. Furthermore, the acoustic properties of the headphones can be influenced by adjusting the pressure. If the back headband is implemented as a spring steel strap, a very lightweight headset can be realized according to the spectacle principle. Further, an implementation of the headphone by the occipital bow ensures a tight and tight fit on the headphone wearer's head so that such a headset is particularly useful in those applications where great freedom of movement is desirable, such as sporting activities or traveling.
  • Fig. 6 shows a representation of a lateral head angle, which is usually 10 °.
  • Fig. 7 shows a representation of an ear angle, which is usually 15 °.
  • the bracket can be designed as a two-core spring steel, so that the electrical signals for transducers can be transmitted via the bracket.
  • cables may be routed within the bracket so that they are not substantially visible from the outside.
