Definitions
- the invention relates to a headset for a functional device, in particular a microphone.
- Head sets are used in particular for mounting microphones on the user's head. As a result, a voice input of the user in the microphone can be done without this the microphone must hold with his hands.
- Such head sets usually have - similar to headphones - • on an upside down temple, which braces the headset on the head due to its elasticity.
- they can be used by singers for live performances or by emergency responders, eg the police, for communication.
- Locking of a functional device by loops, hangers, etc., on the outer ear generally does not assure a stable, non-slip attachment in which the functional means is provided from the outer ear, e.g. can be positioned as a microphone in the user's mouth area.
- DE 102 27 450 B4 shows a headset for a functional device, in particular a microphone, in which an insert body is inserted into the concha or the auditory canal of the user and fixed by a clamping bracket, which is braced against the concha.
- a clamping bracket On the insert body is a
- Head sets continue to be used in the medical field for the placement of cochlear implant drivers. These head sets may include a flexure and an earmold to be fixed in the patient's ear, such as an earpiece. described in DE 201 05 562 U1.
- the US 6 396 935 B1 shows a headset with a stiff, bendable headband at the ends of a microphone and a speaker are provided.
- the headband is hereby placed around the outer ear of the user and has in an interior a transceiver for mutual communication with a e.g. in a shirt pocket portable device on.
- the invention has for its object to provide a headset that ensures a secure positioning of a functional device in the head of the user and yet small-scale and is not perceived as too bothersome.
- the invention is based on the idea of achieving an attachment by means of a loop placed around the outer ear or the auricle, including the ear lobes, which can be securely adjusted in size by a locking element.
- a retaining bracket extends from a signal interface under the outer ear along the front and carries at its end the functional device to be positioned, i. especially the microphone.
- the folding bow of the locking device extends backwards and upwards, is placed over the outer ear and takes on the front with the locking element on the headband, z. B. with a 5 acute angle, ie smaller than a right angle, or at an approximately right angle.
- the signal interface may be a controller that receives, processes (eg, amplifies), and forwards signals.
- the control 10 zer achieved z. Behind the outer ear (i.e., completely or partially hidden by the outer ear) or combined with the locking element.
- the forwarding can take place via an output line and / or via wireless signals.
- the signal interface can also serve only to forward the internal signal lines to output lines.
- a powerful amplifier is preferably provided in the microphone and the signal lines are shielded against inductions, z. B. as a coaxial cable or twisted pair cable.
- the locking element may in particular be a clamping element, the z. B. receives in a through hole or an eyelet.
- Other Feststell für Simonen are possible, for. B. positively 25 and / or with a securing means such. As a screw or a pin.
- a loop is thus generally formed from the rear part of the retaining clip, the control device and the folding strap 30 up to the clamping device.
- the length of the rear part of the retaining clip included in the loop changes with the size of the loop.
- the loop has a certain, outwardly pointing residual stress and thus does not act constricting.
- the loop forms an oval shape with a tip on the locking element and thereby takes the outer ear anatomically low on.
- the angle at the locking element is advantageously pointed; ie smaller than a right angle to achieve a good clamping or clamping action, or about a right angle.
- the elastic overrun bow placed above the outer ear and running downwards at the front side ie in its bending positions a certain inherent rigidity, not flaccidly yielding
- the locking element can thus be formed as a simple eyelet, which can be displaced by the user on the retaining bracket in the longitudinal direction with little effort in the longitudinal direction, due to the bending stress of the Umlegebügels a tilting of the eyelet - without further locking means - is achieved, which secures the longitudinal position ,
- the headband in front of the locking element and with the other hand detect the Umlegebügel above the locking element and move it in the longitudinal direction, the force required for weaker persons is sustainable.
- a clamping action can already be achieved by a small difference in the inner diameter of the eyelet and the outer diameter of the retaining clip.
- the diameters may in this case substantially correspond, so that due to the elasticity of the outer shell of the retaining clip
- control device can represent a sliding stop for slipping of the clamping element to the rear, whereby a constriction of the outer ear in grossly negligent Verstellun- conditions is prevented.
- one or more individual wires which may be twisted or not twisted, extend in the retaining clip and the folding strap.
- Such individual wires with a surrounding outer shell allow a dimensionally stable, having a certain elasticity and overcoming the elasticity restoring force-free adjustment.
- the one or more individual wires of the holding bracket and folding stirrup can be formed continuously, i. they run from the functional device to the locking element, wherein they can run in or next to the signal interface.
- the headband and the folding bow according to the invention can merge into one another.
- You can also be formed in one piece; such a design is particularly advantageous in a combination or integration of locking element and signal interface, so that a continuous bow can run from the functional device to the signal interface.
- the signal lines can then z. B. be passed to a z. B. downgoing line.
- the running between the functional device and the signal interface electrical lines can advantageously between the (z.
- the head-set according to the invention does not clog the ear canal; Since it is not attached to the auricle or the outer ear, it is hygienically sound. Since it has no left or right preferred direction, it can be used uniformly for the left and right ears.
- the retaining clip and / or the folding strap can be made e.g. Also be designed as plastic injection parts or the headband by encapsulating the signal lines.

- the microphone 4 and the control device 2 are arranged at opposite ends of the retaining clip 3; the locking device 6 is longitudinally displaceable mounted on the headband 3 and adjustable in their respective longitudinal positions along the support bracket 3 between the microphone 4 and the control device 2 to form a under exercise a locking action.
- the locking effect can according to the embodiment of Fig. 1, Fig. 1a z. B. be a clamping force, so that the locking device is a clamping device 6; Alternatively, but also another Feststell Koch done, z. B. by positive engagement or an inserted securing means, for. As a screwed-in screw, etc. ..
- the locking action is advantageously releasable and reversible, so that a subsequent Ver-position is possible.
- the rear part of the retaining clip 3, the control device 2 and the folding strap 5 with the clamping device 6 thus form a
- the locking device 6 is designed as a clamping device 6, this is advantageously used as being placed on the end of the folding strap 5, e.g. cylindrical, metallic body formed with an eyelet 8, through which the headband 3 is inserted.
