Definitions
- the present invention relates to an audio headset.
- Existing headphones include sound emitting systems which are placed either around the ear (“over-ear” headsets), or on the ear flap ("mini-headsets"), or in the duct hearing aid ("ear” headsets).
- the first type of headphones is used by professionals or with high fidelity channels; the second type of headset is used more with portable music players while the third type of headset is used more with portable music players or mobile phones.
- the existing devices have several drawbacks. Indeed, a headset, whatever the type, is a foreign body put in contact with the ear, sensitive part of the body; contact of this foreign body with the ear causes discomfort or even irritation during prolonged listening.
- headphones place the emission of sound in contact with either the pinna or inside the ear canal while listening on a natural scale "(that is to say without headphones ) uses the horn and the rest of the hearing system in a complementary way; listening to headphones does not call on the primary function of the ear horn, namely to pick up, channel and provide a first sound processing.
- existing headphones fail to respond positively and cumulatively to three selection criteria: lightness, fidelity, comfort / maneuverability. good acoustic fidelity and good overall rendering. However, they are heavy and not very easy to handle.
- the "mini-headsets" are functional and light.
- the invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing an audio headset: - responding positively and cumulatively to the three selection criteria already mentioned, namely lightness, fidelity, comfort / maneuverability; - exploiting the natural acoustic potential of the pavilion of the ear; - avoiding direct contact between the source of sound emission and the pinna or the ear canal, or avoiding too close proximity of the sound emission system to the hearing system; - meeting a need for comfort and ergonomics; - approaching a "spatial" type of listening, and being close, in its properties, to listening on a natural scale (that is to say without headphones).
- each sound emitting assembly comprises a mini-enclosure and a shell having a concavity on one side; the assembly is arranged so that said mini-speaker is placed in front of the ear, without contact with it, when the headset is worn and is oriented so as to emit sound towards the pinna , and so that said shell is fixed to said mini-enclosure, being placed along the pavilion of the ear, with its concavity turned towards this pavilion.
- each mini-speaker finds its place in front of the ear and the sound which it emits is directed towards the horn; the shell located opposite the mini-speaker has the function of maintaining the sound emitted by this mini-speaker in the area of the pavilion and of avoiding disturbances due to the environment.
- Said shell will thus work as a "counter-flag" in the sense that it will give a first treatment to the sound as does the flag of the ear naturally; it will therefore prepare and distribute the sound optimally towards the pavilion, taking into account the shape and properties of the latter while protecting the sound emitted by the mini-speaker from external disturbances.
- the shell makes it possible to isolate the sound in the zone of the ear and to avoid a diffusion of the sound disturbing the environment of the user.
- Said shell may have the shape of a shell, and more precisely have substantially the shape of a mold.
- each sound emitting assembly is mounted on a ball joint which allows the user to adjust it to the morphology of his ear.
- the headband comprises a central part shaped to grip the head of a user by exerting a slight pressure on the skull of the user, and two lateral portions curved in the manner of the end of a pair branch. glasses, these lateral portions being shaped to find stable support on the mastoid bone, called the "rock", when said mini-speakers and said shells are placed adequately, facing and near the ears.
- This band allows stable and non-irritating support of the helmet on a bony area of the user's head.
- each mini-enclosure and each shell is carried by a branch connected to the strip.
- This branch can be movable relative to the strip so as to allow the position of the miniteil and the shell to be adjusted independently of the position of the strip on the user's head.
- Said central part of the strip can be connected to said lateral portions of this strip by articulations making it possible to tilt said central part relative to said lateral portions.
- the central part of the headband can thus tilt relative to said lateral portions, allowing the central part to be worn either on the top of the skull or on the back of the head.
- Each shell can also be connected to the strip by a ball joint, to allow its adjustment in position relative thereto
- the advantages obtained with the helmet according to the invention are the following: - Ergonomics: the helmet according to the invention respects the morphology of the ear in the sense that it makes it possible to avoid discomfort or even irritation both of the pinna and of the ear canal; the solidity and the little sensitivity of the mastoid bone offers great stability and comfort to the user; - Audiophony: the headphones according to the invention make it possible to offset the source of sound with respect to the ear and to make use of the horn in its primary function which is to capture the sound and to give a first treatment to it; the sound is more "dynamic", has more "flexibility” and more "relief, being less” crushed “and less” overwhelming "; the harmonics are richer, the headphones center the timbre of the voices and the sound seems more spontaneous; these headphones restore spatial value when listening to headphones; - Safety: staying in a semi-open circuit, the helmet according to the invention allows the
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of this helmet
- Figure 2 is a front view
- Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, in exploded view
- Figures 4 to 6 are views respectively from the front, profile and three-quarter when placed on the head of a user.
- Figures 1 to 3 show a headset 1, comprising a headband 2 shaped to grip the head of a user, and two sets 3 sound emitters intended to be placed opposite the ears of the user.
- the headband 2 comprises a central part 5 shaped to grip the head of the user by exerting a slight pressure on the cranium of the latter, and two lateral portions 6 curved in the manner of the ends of the branches of a pair of glasses . As shown in Figures 5 and 6, these side portions 6 are shaped to find stable support on the mastoid bone, called the "rock", when the sets 3 are placed opposite the ears of the user.
- Each assembly 3 comprises, as appears more particularly in FIG. 3, a mini-enclosure 7 and a shell 8 having a concavity on one face.
- the mini-enclosure 7 is mounted on the end of a branch 9 connected to the lateral zone of the central part 5 of the strip 2, and the shell 8 is fixed to the mini-enclosure 7 so that its concavity is turned towards the user's ear when the helmet 1 is worn.
- the helmet 1 is arranged so that the mini-speakers 7 are placed in front of the user's ears, without contact with them, when the helmet 1 is worn , and are oriented so as to emit sound towards the pavilions of these ears. In this same position, the shells 8 are placed along the pavilions of the ears.
- the invention provides an audio headset having numerous advantages compared to the headsets of the prior art.
- this headset responds positively and cumulatively to three selection criteria, namely lightness, fidelity, comfort / maneuverability, exploits the natural acoustic potential of the pavilion of the ear, avoids direct contact between the sound source and the pavilion of the ear or ear canal, or too close a proximity of the sound emission system to the auditory system, responds to a need for comfort and ergonomics, and is close to "spatial" listening, close to listening on a natural scale (i.e. without headphones).
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example, but on the contrary embraces all of the variant embodiments thereof.
