Definitions

  • the invention relates to headphones and more particularly to such a headphone having an expansion space in either receiver for incorporating additional components.
  • 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.
  • receiver space is crowded with required components. Thus, no space is available for mounting additional components in the receiver for expansion purposes. As a result, the conventional headphones do not have any expansion capabilities.
  • 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; a second curved member 12 shorter than the first curved member 11 and disposed between the first curved members 11; two Y-shaped connectors 14 including an elongate groove 141 along a main portion and a bifurcation (not numbered); and two pair of fasteners 13.
  • Either end of the second curved member 12 can be disposed in any position of the groove 141 by sliding the connector 14 relative to the second curved member 12.
  • each pair of fasteners 13 is adapted to releasably fasten either end of the second curved member 12 and the groove 141 together.
  • This adjustable positioning of the connector 14 with respect to the second curved member 12 aims at fitting different individuals with various head sizes.
  • the left receiver 20 comprises an elongate shell 22 including a peg 221 projecting inwardly from either end; a housing 21 shaped to conform to the shell 22 and including a peripheral wall (not numbered), a slot (not numbered) in either end, the slot adapted to securely engage with the peg 221, an oval first receiving space 211 at one portion for mounting components (e.g., a speaker 25 and the like), an elongate second receiving space 212 at the other portion in communication with the first receiving space 211, and a plurality of bottom holes 213 for mounting a plurality of buttons (e.g., volume button 27 and the like); and a cap 23 fitted on the second receiving space 212 and secured to two open ends of the bifurcation of the connector 14.
  • a housing 21 shaped to conform to the shell 22 and including a peripheral wall (not numbered), a slot (not numbered) in either end, the slot adapted to securely engage with the peg 221, an oval first receiving space 211 at one portion for mounting components (e.g
  • a battery 26 (e.g., lithium cell or the like) can be mounted in the second receiving space 212.
  • the battery 26 is adapted to supply power to a Bluetooth device for wireless networking.
  • the headphone 1 can have the features of wire and wireless devices.
  • 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 swivel microphone A can be joined to an outer surface of the shell 22.
