Description

The present invention relates to a microphone cover device used when using a microphone device that is used in a state of being held by the user's hand and brought close to the user's mouth.

In recent years, karaoke equipment that allows singing using a microphone device while playing accompaniment music has developed at singing competitions, singing classes, restaurants, inns, karaoke boxes, snacks, pubs, etc., and karaoke is now established as one of the national entertainments. are doing. The microphone used in this karaoke is used in close proximity to the user's mouth while being held by the user's hand, so when the user sings, the user's mouth comes into contact with the microphone. At the same time, there is a problem that saliva droplets are released from the mouth and adhere to the microphone, which tends to be unsanitary.

As an example of a means for avoiding such a problem, a structure in which a microphone cover having a slight elasticity formed in a cap shape by an elastic foam such as polyurethane foam is attached to the microphone is disclosed. (Patent Document 1).

Further, there is disclosed that a universal strut is connected to a head mounting band to be attached to a user's head via a universal bracket, and a prevention plate is connected to the other end of the universal strut via a universal bracket. (Patent Document 2).

Jikkenhei 6-9295 Gazette Jitsuzensho 63-125943

However, the one described in Patent Document 1 is unsanitary unless the microphone cover is replaced after each singing by one user, for example, when a disease caused by a virus suspected to be a droplet infection is prevalent. In addition, it takes time and effort to replace it, and a large amount of microphone cover is required, which increases the cost.

Further, for the device described in Patent Document 2, if the device described in Patent Document 2 is prepared for each user who uses karaoke, the trouble of replacement is not required and the cost can be suppressed. However, since the device described in Patent Document 2 is attached to the head, there is a risk that the entertainment of karaoke may be diminished. In addition, when singing karaoke, a user who enjoys karaoke and is uplifted moves the microphone up, down, left, right, front and back, and the relative position between the mouth and the microphone fluctuates. Depending on the positional relationship of the microphone, the prevention plate may not be arranged in the space between the user's mouth and the microphone, so that saliva droplets may adhere to the microphone.

The present invention was made under such circumstances, and the purpose is that the user moves the microphone up, down, left, right, front and back without diminishing the entertainment of karaoke, and the relative position between the mouth and the microphone fluctuates. However, it is an object of the present invention to provide a microphone cover device that can prevent contact between the mouth and the microphone and can catch the saliva droplets of the user by following the movement of the microphone.

In order to solve the above problems, the microphone cover device is used when the user uses a microphone device that is used while being held by the user's hand and brought close to the user's mouth. A microphone cover device, which is a frame arranged in the space between the user's mouth and the microphone device and provided with an opening, and a frame stretched over the opening of the frame to cover the user's mouth. An air filter that can prevent contact with the microphone device and capture saliva droplets released from the user, a flexible pillar that rotatably supports the frame at one end, and the other end of the pillar. Along with supporting the microphone device, the microphone device is provided with a wearable body that can be attached to the arm of the hand holding the microphone device (claim 1).

With this configuration, the pillar body supported by the mounting body is bent and the frame supported by the pillar body is rotated so that the pillar body is stretched on the frame between the user's mouth and the microphone device. The air filter can be arranged at an appropriate position.

Since the microphone cover device is attached to the arm by the wearing body, it is more comfortable to wear than the one attached to the head, so that the entertainment of karaoke is not diminished. In addition, because it is attached to the arm by the wearing body, even if the user moves the microphone up, down, left, right, back and forth, the air filter stretched on the frame moves following the movement of the microphone, so the user's It is possible to prevent contact between the mouth and the microphone device and to catch saliva droplets.

In this case, the wearing body may be a forearm wearing body worn on the forearm of the arm (claim 2).

In this case, the wearing body may be a finger wearing body worn on the fingers of the arm (claim 3).

In this case, the opening of the frame is circular, and the inner peripheral surface of the opening should have a tapered surface whose inner diameter decreases from the user's mouth side toward the microphone device side (claimed). Item 4).

With this configuration, the sound emitted from the user's mouth can be collected in the direction of the microphone device. Therefore, the sound absorbed by the air filter can be supplemented, so that the entertainment of karaoke can be improved.

In this case, it is preferable that the air filter has a mortar-shaped surface whose inner diameter decreases toward the microphone device side from the mouth side of the user (claim 5).

With this configuration, even if the user brings the mouth portion closer to the air filter, it is possible to make it difficult for the air filter and the mouth portion to come into contact with each other.

In this case, the air filter may be doubly stretched in the opening of the frame (claim 6).

With this configuration, for example, the strength can be increased by forming the air filter stretched on the mouth side with a material that is not easily torn.

According to the microphone cover device of the present invention, since it is configured as described above, even if the user moves the microphone up, down, left, right, front and back and the relative position between the mouth and the microphone fluctuates, the contact between the mouth and the microphone can be maintained. While preventing it, it is possible to catch the saliva droplets of the user by following the movement of the microphone.

The user then bends the pillar 30 formed of the flexible tube. The user holds the microphone at a desired best position, and bends the pillar 30 toward the microphone so that the tip of the pillar 30 is positioned diagonally above the front of the microphone.

The user then rotates the ball-jointed frame 10 with respect to the pillar 30. The user rotates the frame 10 in the direction of the microphone to a position where the air filter 20 covers the microphone. In this case, the distance between the air filter 20 and the microphone is preferably 2 cm or more and 5 cm or less. In this way, by bending the pillar 30 supported by the wristband 40 and rotating the frame 10 supported by the pillar 30, the frame 10 is stretched between the user's mouth and the microphone. The air filter 20 can be arranged at an appropriate position.

This completes the mounting work of the microphone cover device 1.

Since the microphone cover device 1 mounted as described above is worn on the forearm by the wristband 40, the wearing feeling is better than that worn on the head, so that the entertainment of karaoke can be reduced. Absent. Further, since the wristband 40 is attached to the forearm, even if the user moves the microphone up, down, left, right, front and back, the air filter 20 stretched on the frame 10 moves following the movement of the microphone. It is possible to prevent contact between the part and the microphone and capture saliva droplets.

Therefore, according to the microphone cover device 1 of the present invention, even if the user moves the microphone up, down, left, right, front and back and the relative position between the mouth and the microphone fluctuates, the contact between the mouth and the microphone is prevented and the microphone is moved. It is possible to capture the saliva droplets of the user following the above.
