以下、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
(イ)金属などの線材を、らせんに巻いた楕円部1の前端に、U字部3を設け、直線または、ゆるやかな円弧状の前部2でつなげて、耳の付け根形の輪を形づくる。
(ロ)U字部3は、楕円部1のらせんで立ち上がり、中をのぞかせて耳たぶ6の導入を助け、そのつけ根に密着する。
(ハ)前部2は、頬に接して風当5のつけ根に密着する。
(ニ)楕円部1は、耳輪4のつけ根に密着する。
(ホ)図1から図4は、右耳用の耳装着具を示している。左耳用は、楕円部1のらせん方向やU字部3の立ち上がりが、逆になって対称形になる。
(ヘ)図5は、線材の断面図である。これ以外にも、芯入りにしたり、表面にコーティングをしたりできる。また、薄くすれば耳の付け根にならって変形するから、らせんを限りなく小さくした形、すなわち平板状となるので加工しやすくなる。
(ト)素材は、金属、樹脂、ゴムなどを使用する。
(チ)素材の種類と表面状態、U字部の幅で入れやすさ、はずしやすさは決まる。U字部3の幅を適正にした上で滑り止めをコーティングする方法もある。
(リ)本願発明を耳に装着するには、図3のように耳輪4に楕円部1をかけ入れ、左に回せば耳たぶ6がU字部3の中に導入される。次に、耳たぶ6を指で引き出すようにしてU字部3を押し付け、耳たぶ6の付け根に密着させれば、楕円部1は、耳輪4のつけ根に密着し、前部2は頬に接して風当5のつけ根に密着、耳の付け根をぐるりと取り囲んではまり込む。
(ヌ)これを耳からはずすには、U字部3に指をかけ、前部2が風当5からはずれるまで耳たぶ6を抜き、右に回して残りを抜き去り、耳輪4からはずす。
(ル)試作品で試してみると、一見、複雑に見える装着、取り外しが、それぞれなめらかに合成された一動作で一瞬にできたのである。
(ヲ)耳に比べて耳の付け根の形は、個人差が小さいのでサイズの種類を小さくできる。また、素材によっては、耳の付け根に合わせて削り合わせることもできる。
(ワ)耳に装着して使いたいものを列挙すると、イヤフォン、ワイヤレスマイク、音楽プレーヤー、補聴器、トランシーバ、カメラ、携帯電話などがある。
(カ)本願発明は、このまま市販する場合と上記製品のメーカーに提供して、耳装着型製品となる場合がある。したがって、汎用性が強く求められている。
(ヨ)そのため、同じ断面を持つ輪にして、輪のどこにでも取り付けできる形である。また、断面形状を数種類用意して、汎用の要求に応えている。
(タ)メーカーの仕様に合わせて、本願発明の一部を広げたり、肉を盛ったりする場合は、耳の付け根に接する面を変えないようにする。
(レ)耳に装着して使いたいものは、小型であればほとんどの物を、本願発明に取り付けることができる。したがって、全く新しい分野に用途が生まれ、耳装着型製品の種類が増えてゆくのである。
(ソ)耳装着型製品の特異な例を述べると、イヤリングでは、今までにない重量のイヤリングを耳につけることができ、全体がひとつのイヤリングとなる。また、防寒具に用いれば、耳型のデザインで小型のものができる。
(ツ)全く新しい耳装着法である本願発明の提供は、各メーカーの技術者間の小型化競争を促し、音響アクセサリーのコードレス、ワイヤレス化をはじめとする超小型の耳装着製品の実現に貢献する。
本願発明は、以上の構成よりなっている。
本願発明を使用するときは、上記の耳装着具の一部に、図4のように音響アクセサリーを取り付け、(リ)の装着法で耳に装着し、(ヌ)のはずし方で耳からはずす。耳の付け根をぐるりと取り囲んではめ込まれた耳装着具は、U字部3から耳たぶ6を抜かない限り、ずらすことも、はずすこともできない。また、荷重は耳の付け根に広くかかるため、軽い装着感で重量を支えることができる。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(B) A U-shaped part 3 is provided at the front end of the elliptical part 1 wound with a wire such as metal, and is connected by a straight or gentle arc-shaped front part 2 to form a ring at the base of the ear. .

(C) The front part 2 is in contact with the root of the wind blow 5 while touching the cheek.
(D) The ellipse 1 is in close contact with the root of the ear ring 4.
(E) FIGS. 1 to 4 show an ear mounting tool for the right ear. For the left ear, the spiral direction of the ellipse 1 and the rise of the U-shaped part 3 are reversed and become symmetrical.
(F) FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the wire. Besides this, it can be cored or coated on the surface. Also, if the thickness is reduced, it deforms in accordance with the root of the ear, so that it becomes easy to process because it has a spiral shape that is as small as possible, that is, a flat plate shape.
(G) Metal, resin, rubber, etc. are used for the material.
(H) The ease of insertion and removal are determined by the type and surface condition of the material and the width of the U-shaped part. There is also a method of coating the anti-slip after making the width of the U-shaped part 3 appropriate.
(I) In order to attach the present invention to the ear, as shown in FIG. 3, the earlobe 6 is introduced into the U-shaped portion 3 by putting the oval portion 1 over the ear ring 4 and turning it to the left. Next, if the U-shaped part 3 is pressed so that the earlobe 6 is pulled out with a finger and is closely attached to the base of the earlobe 6, the oval part 1 is in close contact with the base of the earring 4 and the front part 2 is in contact with the cheek. Adhere closely to the root of the wind gush 5 and surround the root of the ear.
(N) To remove this from the ear, put a finger on the U-shaped part 3, remove the earlobe 6 until the front part 2 comes off the wind blow 5, turn it to the right to remove the rest, and remove it from the earring 4.
(Lu) When I tried it with a prototype, it seemed that the installation and removal seemingly complicated at first glance was made instantly with a smoothly synthesized action.
(Wo) The shape of the base of the ear is smaller than that of the ear, so there are few individual differences, so the type of size can be reduced. In addition, depending on the material, it can also be trimmed to match the base of the ear.
(W) When listing what you want to wear on your ear, there are earphones, wireless microphones, music players, hearing aids, transceivers, cameras, mobile phones, and so on.
(F) The present invention may be marketed as it is or provided to the manufacturer of the product to become an ear-mounted product. Therefore, versatility is strongly demanded.
(Yo) Therefore, it is a shape that can be attached anywhere on the ring as a ring with the same cross section. In addition, several types of cross-sectional shapes are prepared to meet general-purpose requirements.
(T) When expanding a part of the present invention or adding meat to the manufacturer's specifications, do not change the surface in contact with the base of the ear.
(L) Most things that are worn on the ear and used can be attached to the present invention as long as they are small. Therefore, applications are born in completely new fields, and the types of ear-mounted products are increasing.
(Seo) To give a specific example of an ear-mounted product, earrings can be worn with unprecedented weight, and the entire earring becomes one. Moreover, if it is used for a cold protection device, it can be made small with an ear-shaped design.
(Iv) The provision of the present invention, which is a completely new ear wearing method, encourages competition among engineers from manufacturers to contribute to the realization of ultra-small ear wearing products such as cordless and wireless acoustic accessories. To do.
