Description of the Related Art The inventor of the present invention has filed an earlier application for an eyephone and an eyephone comprising an eye mask, a diaphragm housed in the eye mask, and a pair of speakers attached to the diaphragm. A sensational sound device connected to audio equipment was proposed.

[0003]

In the conventional eyephone, the sound quality is improved by the diaphragm, so that the sound from the speaker can be heard from the front of the center of the head for the user, thereby increasing the relaxing effect. However, there was a problem that it was not possible to secure enough volume for listening with a small speaker. On the other hand, if a speaker having a performance capable of increasing the volume is used, there is a problem that the sound leaks to the outside and may disturb the surroundings depending on the place of use.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide an eyephone and a bodily sensation sound apparatus using the eyephone, which are configured to enable sufficient listening even with a small speaker.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a diaphragm made of a thin sheet of a flexible material which covers the front of the eyes, and a pair of speakers attached to the diaphragm. A locking means for locking or fixing the diaphragm to both ears or the head, extending the diaphragm to near both ears, and attaching the speakers to both sides thereof. It is.

[0006] The present invention also provides a diaphragm made of a thin plate of a flexible material which covers the front of the eyes, a pair of speakers attached to the diaphragm, and the diaphragm fixed to both ears or the head. Or, a locking means for fixing, an eyephone in which the diaphragm extends close to both ears and the speaker is attached to both sides thereof, and an audio device for transmitting sound to the speaker.

In any of the above means, the whole or a part of the diaphragm can be covered with the outer envelope.

According to the present invention, a pair of far-infrared radiators can be attached to the front surface of the vibration plate or the outer enclosure with an eye interval.

According to the present invention, the outer enclosure can be provided with a plurality of pores penetrating through the diaphragm with an interval between the eyes.

[0010]

[Function] The sound emitted from the speaker hits the diaphragm and resonates it, thereby improving the sound quality. The sound is placed near both ears so that even small ones are easy to hear and the diaphragm Can be made to sound as if it were heard from the front lobe at the front center of the head. Omitting the outer envelope does not affect the function, but can soften the face and enhance the design effect.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The drawings show an embodiment of the present invention. In FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a diaphragm made of a flexible synthetic resin thin plate or a stainless steel thin plate. A pair of speakers 2 and 2 are attached to the outside of both sides of the plate 1. Reference numeral 3 denotes an outer envelope made of a thin sheet such as cloth, which covers the entire diaphragm 1 except for the outside of the speakers 2 and 2, and vibrates by fixing the edges by means such as sticking or thermocompression bonding. The plate 1 is housed inside. In addition, the outer envelope is not limited to cloth, and various things such as leather and a soft synthetic resin sheet can be considered. The fixing range of the outer enclosure can cover the entire speaker, or can selectively cover the whole or a part of the front part or the rear part of the diaphragm to be adhered and fixed. Further, the outer envelope may be omitted and the diaphragm may be left uncovered, or the outer envelope may be formed only by rimming the cushioning material at the edge of the diaphragm. In this case, it is necessary to use an opaque light-shielding diaphragm in order to prevent the eyes from being seen dark.

In the embodiment, a speaker for a headphone is used. The speaker 2 is attached to the diaphragm 1 by locking the edge 2a of the speaker 2 together with the cover 2b by locking pieces 1a, 1a, 1a provided on the diaphragm 1 and a plurality of mounting holes 1b, 1b. Are provided and are firmly fixed to the mounting holes 1b, 1b,... Via the locking tools 1c, 1c,..., But are not limited to this mounting method. It can be fixed by various other fixing means. A plurality of pores 2c, 2c,... Are formed at a position of the diaphragm 1 facing the speaker 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a disk-shaped cushion material made of, for example, moltoprene, which is attached to the outer envelope 3.
This cushion material 4 may be attached to the diaphragm 1. In the embodiment, the outside of the speaker 2 is covered with the cover 2b instead of the outer enclosure.
Covering the portion b with the outer enclosure 3 is optional as described above.

A pair of ear hooks 5, 5 project from both sides of the upper edge of the outer enclosure 3, and these ear hooks 5, 5 are attached to the diaphragm 1
In particular, as shown in FIG. 4, the means for attaching the ear hook 5 to the holding cylinder 6 provided on the upper end edge of the diaphragm 1 is detachably inserted into the holding cylinder 6. Stop hole 6
a is provided, and the length of the protrusion 5a provided on one side of the ear hook can be adjusted by being engaged with one of the locking holes 6a. Incidentally, the ear hook 5 is not limited to the embodiment, and may be replaced with other known locking and fixing means using a string or a band. Further, the holding cylinder 6 may be formed integrally with the diaphragm, or may be formed separately and fixed to the diaphragm. The form of the holding cylinder is not limited to that of the embodiment. In short, any form that can adjust the length of the ear hook is sufficient. This ear hanging length adjusting means may be omitted if the entire length of the eyephone is classified according to size such as large, medium and small.

A lead wire 7 connected to the speakers 2, 2 is led out from one side of the outer enclosure 3, and is connected to an audio device 8, such as a small-sized tape recorder. It is optional to connect to a CD player, a record player, or other audio equipment instead of the tape recorder.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the eyephone 9 according to the present invention is worn on the face. When the earphone is put on the face with the ear hook put on the face, the eyephone 9 covers the front of the eyes, and the position of the speaker 2 is changed. Is just around the bite of the jaw on both sides of the face.

When music is played to the speakers 2 and 2 in this state, the sound is felt to be heard from the front leaf head portion with sufficient volume by the diaphragm, so that music like quiet alpha music is heard. From a relaxed state of about 10
Minutes to 15 minutes will lead to a comfortable deep sleep, during which weak vibrations from the diaphragm are continuously applied to the eyes, so that eyes can be relieved and awakened clearly. Things.

As another embodiment, although not shown, a plurality of small holes which pass through the outer enclosure 3 at intervals of the eyes are provided on the diaphragm 1 or far infrared rays are spaced at the intervals of the eyes. A radiator may be attached.

The former configuration has the advantage that the air permeability is improved and that sweat can be prevented in front of the eyes especially in a hot place. The latter configuration has the advantage that the far-infrared radiator emits at room temperature. This has the advantage that the eye cells are activated by the resonance resonance phenomenon due to the far-infrared rays in the region and the eyes can be tired.

[0019]

As described above, the present invention has the following advantages.

Since the speaker does not cover the ear like a headphone, it is possible to listen to music or the like from the speaker without being shielded from external sounds.
Moreover, the sound can be heard by the operator but does not leak to the surrounding people, and the concentration of the mind caused by covering in front of the eyes and the quietness of alpha music heard from the frontal head portion The music promotes a comfortable sleep and a clear awakening, so when used especially when stress is high or when the head and eyes are tired, it can be surprising even if you take a 15 to 30 minute nap while sitting on a chair It can provide a refreshing effect.

The effect is, for example, a person with a slightly higher blood pressure,
By playing a continuous sound or music with little rhythm change from the speaker, a noticeable drop in blood pressure can be seen in about 15 minutes. Conversely, people with low blood pressure can play pop-like music with a sharp beat from the speaker. Again, it was confirmed that the blood pressure increased in about 15 minutes, and the amount of blood discharged at one time of the heart increased. Furthermore, playing mysterious music with the sound of a flute, sound of flowing water, sound of waves, music with birdsong, etc., has a remarkable effect on eliminating stress and insomnia, recovering from fatigue, etc. there were.
