Definitions

  • the invention relates to headphones and more particularly to such a headphone having components adapted to secure together by snapping rather than by threaded fasteners.
  • Headphones are well known devices. Recently, a headphone can be attached to an MP3 player or iPod.
  • One type of headphone is earbud which is a small headphone that is placed directly outside of the ear canal.
  • earbud is a small headphone that is placed directly outside of the ear canal.
  • a sufficiently high volume level made by using an earbud can cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment or deafness due to an effect called "masking.”
  • headphone is a relatively large headphone having a band or bands over the top of the head.
  • components of this type of headphone are threadedly secured together. It is understood that fastening or unfastening threaded fasteners (e.g., screws or bolt and nut combinations) is a time consuming process. Further, threaded fasteners may get rusted due to accummulation of moisture as time evolves.
  • a headphone 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a band 10, a left receiver 20, and a right receiver 30. Each component is discussed in detailed below.
  • the band 10 is adapted to put over a user's head and comprises two spaced, first curved members 11 each having two first holes 111 at either end and a second hole 112 spaced from the first hole 111 by a predetermined distance; a second curved member 12 shorter than the first curved member 11 and disposed between the first curved members 11; two connectors 13 each connecting the first curved members 11 and the second curved member 12 together; and two pairs of fasteners 14, each fastener 14 adapted to fasten the connector 13 and the first curved member 11 together by inserting through the connector 13 into the second hole 112.
  • a microphone 40 is joined to an outer portion of the left receiver 20 by means of a swivel connection (not numbered).
  • the left receiver 20 comprises a disk-shaped, concave outer housing 21 having a plurality of holed projections 211 spaced around a periphery; a disk-shaped, concave inner housing 22 having a plurality of pegs 221 spaced around a periphery, the pegs 221 adapted to snugly insert into the holed projections 211 for fastening the inner and outer housing 21 and 22 together; a first disk 23 having a raised periphery proximate the outer housing 21; a second disk 24 having a raised periphery proximate the inner housing 22; a speaker 25; and a clapper 26 in which both the speaker 25 and the clapper 26 are mounted between the inner housing 22 and the second disk 24.
  • the second disk 24 comprises two spaced receptacles 241 on an upper portion, and two pairs of through holes 242 each transversely passing the receptacle 241.
  • the first disk 23 has two pairs of studs 231 on an upper portion, the studs 231 adapted to insert through the through holes 242 and the receptacles 241 into the first holes 111 for securely engaging the left receiver 20 and the curved members 11 and 12 together, i.e., securing the left receiver 20 and the band 10 together.
  • the right receiver 30 is generally identical to the left receiver 20 described above except it is a mirror image thereof. Accordingly, further description is omitted for purposes of brevity and convenience only, and is not limiting.
  • a concave, disk-shaped housing of the microphone 40 comprises on its inner surface a central, hollow cylinder 41 having two opposite holes 411.
  • the cylinder 41 is inserted into a central opening (not numbered) of the outer housing 21 to secure the microphone 40 and the left receiver 20 together by slidably inserting a pin 50 mounted on an outer surface of the first disk 23 into the holes 411.
