Abstract

The electro-acoustic device comprises at least one box held against the side of the user's head, mounted on a set of straps (11,12) passing over and behind the user's head. The exact position of the box is in front of the user's ear, and against the upper jaw. Within the box there is a sensor (2) for detecting sound, and the loudspeaker (3) producing sound which is directed towards a rearward facing opening in the box, just in front of the user's ear (20). The sensor may be an osteo-microphone, sensing vibration produced by the user's speech.

Description

DISPOSITIF DE COMMUNICATION DU TYPE ELECTROACOUSTIOUE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de communication électroacoustique et plus particulièrement un nouveau dispositif qui permet à l'utilisateur de porter son dispositif tout en laissant les oreilles libres.ELECTROACOUSTIOUE TYPE COMMUNICATION DEVICE
The present invention relates to an electroacoustic communication device and more particularly to a new device which allows the user to wear his device while leaving his ears free.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention se dégageront de la description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés qui ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemples non limitatifs. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows with reference to the appended drawings which are given only by way of nonlimiting examples.

La figure 1 est une vue latérale illustrant un premier mode de réalisation. Figure 1 is a side view illustrating a first embodiment.

Les figures 2 et 3 sont des illustrations d'un deuxième mode de réalisation. Figures 2 and 3 are illustrations of a second embodiment.

La figure 2 est une vue latérale. Figure 2 is a side view.

La figure 3 est une perpective arrière. Figure 3 is a rear perspective.

Le dispositif de communication (1) est du type électroacoustique permettant l'émission et/ou la réception de messages permettant à l'utilisateur de communiquer avec, par exemple, un autre utilisateur portant un dispositif identique ou similaire. Il comprend un capteur (2) et au moins un écouteur (3). Selon l'invention le dispositif comprend au moins un boîtier latéral (4) maintenu sur la tête de l'utilisateur par des moyens de retenue (5) de façon à ce que le ou les boîtier(s) latéral/aux qui est/sont disposé(s) non pas sur les oreilles (20) de l'utilisateur, comme dans le dispositif antérieur, mais devant les oreilles, et ce, contre la partie supérieure (6) des mâchoires (7). The communication device (1) is of the electroacoustic type allowing the emission and / or the reception of messages allowing the user to communicate with, for example, another user wearing an identical or similar device. It comprises a sensor (2) and at least one earpiece (3). According to the invention, the device comprises at least one side box (4) held on the head of the user by retaining means (5) so that the side box (es) which is / are disposed (s) not on the ears (20) of the user, as in the previous device, but in front of the ears, and this, against the upper part (6) of the jaws (7).

Dans chacun des boîtiers latéraux (4a, 4b) est disposé un écouteur (3) logé dans un logement correspondant (8) prolongé vers l'arrière (AR) en direction des oreilles par un conduit évasé (9) ouvert au moins vers l'arrière (AR), de façon à ce que les sons émis soient parfaitement reçus par les oreilles. In each of the side boxes (4a, 4b) is arranged a headphone (3) housed in a corresponding housing (8) extended rearward (AR) towards the ears by a flared conduit (9) open at least towards the rear (AR), so that the sounds emitted are perfectly received by the ears.

Le capteur (2) est un accéléromètre ostéomicrophonique qui est logé dans l'un des boîtiers au-dessus de l'écouteur correspondant. The sensor (2) is an osteomicrophonic accelerometer which is housed in one of the boxes above the corresponding earpiece.

Ledit capteur joue le rôle d'un capteur qui permet de capter par transmission osseuse les sons émis par l'utilisateur, qui sont alors retransmis par radiophonie et captés par un autre utilisateur équipé d'un système de réception compatible ou par un central d'émission-réception fixe ou mobile. Said sensor plays the role of a sensor which makes it possible to capture by bone transmission the sounds emitted by the user, which are then retransmitted by radio and picked up by another user equipped with a compatible reception system or by a central office. fixed or mobile transceiver.

Bien entendu, le dispositif comprend un circuit électronique de traitement comprenant au moins un circuit d'amplification et de filtrage. Of course, the device comprises an electronic processing circuit comprising at least one amplification and filtering circuit.

Notons aussi que l'écouteur est relié au capteur par un câble électrique de liaison. Ajoutons à cela que le circuit de traitement est relié à une connexion (10) par un câble de connexion (100) qui permet de connecter le dispositif électroacoustique aux éléments de l'appareillage extérieur connu en soi qui n'est pas représenté.Note also that the earpiece is connected to the sensor by an electrical connection cable. Add to this that the processing circuit is connected to a connection (10) by a connection cable (100) which makes it possible to connect the electroacoustic device to the elements of the external equipment known per se which is not shown.

La figure 1 illustre une vue latérale dans un premier mode d'exécution selon lequel les boîtiers (4a, 4b) sont retenus à la tête de l'utilisateur par, d'une part, un arceau métallique arrière (11) réglable et gainé passant derrière la tête (13), et d'autre part, par une sangle supérieure (12) passant au-dessus du crâne, la sangle supérieure (12) et l'arceau arrière (11) reliant les deux boîtiers latéraux. L'arceau métallique est destiné par déformation élastique à retenir plaqués contre le visage les deux boîtiers (4a, 4b). Figure 1 illustrates a side view in a first embodiment according to which the housings (4a, 4b) are retained at the head of the user by, on the one hand, a rear metal hoop (11) adjustable and sheathed passing behind the head (13), and on the other hand, by an upper strap (12) passing over the skull, the upper strap (12) and the rear arch (11) connecting the two lateral boxes. The metal hoop is intended by elastic deformation to hold the two housings (4a, 4b) pressed against the face.

La figure 2 illustre un autre mode d'exécution selon lequel les moyens de maintien des boîtiers latéraux (4a, 4b) sont constitués par un seul arceau supérieur (15) en matériau élastique, tel qu'en acier ou en matière plastique, légèrement précontraint à la fermeture afin que sa déformation élastique provoque un pincement vers l'intérieur des extrémités assurant ainsi l'appui desdits boîtiers contre le visage devant les oreilles.  FIG. 2 illustrates another embodiment according to which the means for holding the lateral boxes (4a, 4b) consist of a single upper arch (15) made of elastic material, such as steel or plastic, slightly prestressed on closing so that its elastic deformation causes pinching inward of the ends thus ensuring the support of said boxes against the face in front of the ears.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons.  Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown by way of examples, but it also includes all the technical equivalents and their combinations.
