Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a microphone clip for a communication device or the like, and more particularly to a microphone clip having a simplified structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a microphone for a communication device or the like, a clip using spring pressure is employed to fix the microphone to the chest or shoulders of clothes, but the conventional microphone clip is shown in FIGS. As shown in 8,
A bearing portion 33 is provided on a mounting base plate 32 for attaching to a microphone, a substantially middle portion of the clip body 31 is supported by a shaft 34, and a spring 35 is disposed. It is configured to give a couple.

In this case, as shown in FIG.
4 is held or caulked by a retainer 36, and as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, there is a type using a leaf spring 35a as the spring 35, and the like using a plate spring 35a as shown in FIG.

[0004]

However, in the conventional microphone clip, the mounting base plate 32 is provided with a bearing portion 33 so that the clip body 31 is supported by the shaft 34. Bearing part 3
For example, the mounting base plate 32 and the clip main body 31 are formed of resin, because the number of parts is large, the number of parts is large, and the assembly is troublesome. There were drawbacks in that the manufacturing cost was high, such as the mold structure becoming complicated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a microphone clip which solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, can greatly simplify the structure, can reduce the cost, and has an accurate clip function. It is in.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a microphone clip, wherein one end side of a leaf spring having a substantially U-shaped cross section is attached to a clip body and the other end is attached to the clip body. The clip part is directly fixed to the case of the microphone so that the clipping part side of the clip body is elastically constantly in contact with the case, and the pressing part side of the clip body is pressed against the elastic force of the leaf spring. Thereby, the holding portion side is separated from the case surface.

This eliminates the need for a mounting base plate, a shaft, and the like, thereby reducing the number of parts, processing steps, and assembly steps. When the pressing portion of the clip body is pressed against the elastic force of the leaf spring, the holding portion is separated from the case surface, so that the microphone can be reliably clipped to clothes or the like.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, one end of the leaf spring is fixed to the case with a blind rivet.

[0009] With this, the crimping of the leaf spring can be performed in one direction, that is, in the visible direction, so that the assembling work is easy.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a microphone clip according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a clip body, which is provided with a holding portion 3 on the front end side of the flat plate portion 2 and a pressing portion 4 on the rear end side, and a knurl 3a is formed on the holding portion 3. ing. Further, a slit 5 for inserting a leaf spring is formed by providing a protruding portion 6 on both side edges of a central portion on the back surface side of the flat plate portion 2, and a protruding portion 7 having a slope 7 a on one surface is formed on the distal end side. Is formed.

A leaf spring 10 has a substantially U-shaped cross section. One end 11 is attached to the clip body 1 and the other end 12 is attached to a rear case 21 of a microphone 20 by a blind rivet 17. When the clipping portion 3 of the clip body 1 is pressed directly against the pressing portion 4 of the clip body 1 against the elastic force of the leaf spring 10, the holding portion 3 side of the clip body 1 is elastically constantly in contact with the rear case 21. The holding portion 3 is configured to be separated from the case surface.

An engaging hole 13 corresponding to the protruding portion 7 is formed near the one end 11 of the leaf spring 10 in the vicinity of the distal end, so that the plate spring 10 is changed from the state shown in FIG. When the one end 11 of the spring 10 is inserted and attached to the slit 5 on the back surface of the clip body 1, the projection 7 is fitted into the engagement hole 13 and fixed.

As described above, one end 11 of the leaf spring 10
The other end 12 of the leaf spring 10 is crimped to the rear case 21 with a blind rivet 17 with the side attached to the clip body 1. In this case, if the positioning projections 22 are provided on the rear case 21 side and the positioning holes 14 are provided on the other end 12 side of the leaf spring 10, it can be securely fixed at a predetermined position.

In the flat plate portion 2 of the clip body 1, a hole 8 is formed so as to correspond to the position of the blind rivet 17.
Is formed, and a corresponding hole 15 is formed on one end 11 side of the leaf spring 10 so as to be used as a working hole for rivet tightening or rivet removal. Also,
A spring release hole 9 is provided near the tip of the flat plate portion 2 of the clip body 1.
Pressing the distal end of the leaf spring 10 from the hole 9 with an appropriate rod-shaped jig (not shown) disengages the engagement between the engaging hole 13 and the projection 7 and causes the leaf spring to move. 10 and the clip body 1 can be separated. In the figure, 16
Is a rivet hole formed on the other end 12 side of the leaf spring 10.

[0015]

According to the microphone clip according to the present invention, the number of parts of the clip member can be comprised of the clip body and the leaf spring, and the leaf spring is provided with the mounting bracket. , The configuration is extremely simple.

In operation, when the pressing portion of the clip body is pressed against the elastic force of the leaf spring, the holding portion separates from the case surface, so that the microphone can be reliably clipped to clothes or the like. Since there is no such mounting base plate or the like, there is no risk of being caught on clothes at the time of clipping.

Also, unlike the prior art, a shaft or a retainer or the like is not used, so that assembly is easy, and since there is no bearing hole for the shaft in the clip body, a slide structure is required as a molding die structure. In addition, the mold structure can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the crimping of the leaf spring can be performed in one direction, that is, in the visible direction, so that the assembling work is easy, and the mounting portion has an excellent waterproof effect.
