JPS59139786A - Ear hanging type earphone - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an earphone which can fit any shape of earlobes by forming a sectorial space between a unit case and the sidepieces to hold an earlobe unified with the unit case and having two sidepiece bars at the middle of the sidepieces. CONSTITUTION:An earphone unit main body 5 consisting of an electric converter 12 is stored into a unit case 6 made of elastic synthetic resin. An ear pad 7 is provided to the hearing surface of the main body 5. The sidepieces 9 are formed in one body at the upper and lower parts of the case 6 to form a space 8 into which a sectorial earlobe is fitted. The sidepieces 9 are separated at the middle part into sidepiece bars 9a and 9b. These bars 9a and 9b can be freely handled to facilitate easier attachement of an earphone regardless of the size of an earlobe.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to behind-the-ear earphones that are configured so that they can be listened to by hanging them over the auricle, and are particularly intended to improve wearability by improving the temple portion. .

Recently, earphones that are simply inserted into the ear canal will fall out of the ear canal with the slightest movement, so earphones have been developed that have a clasp that can be hooked onto the auricle.

Conventional examples thereof are shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. First, Figure 1, Figure 2
In the conventional example shown in the figure, an arcuate temple 4 is provided in a unit case 2 that houses a unit body 1 of the earphone, and has a fan-shaped space 3 into which the auricle is inserted.

With this configuration, the space 3 is a constant size and the size of the pinna varies from person to person, so in extreme cases it cannot be worn.

For this reason, a structure has been developed in which one end of the temple 4 made of flexible wire is connected to the unit case 2 and the other end is left free, as shown in FIG. 3. Although the problem of not being able to wear the earphones could be eliminated, the flexible wires were expensive, resulting in a significant cost disadvantage, and the earphones could not be used as simple earphones.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the prior art as described above.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 6.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a unit body of an earphone constituted by an electroacoustic transducer, and this unit body 6 is housed in a unit case 6 made of elastic synthetic resin. Further, an ear pad 7 is provided on the listening surface of the unit body 6.

Further, a temple 9 is integrally formed from the top and bottom of this unit case 6, and forms a space 8 in which a fan-shaped auricle is inserted between the unit case 6 and the temple 9. The temple 9 is separated at the middle part, and a temple piece 9a, It has a vine piece 9b.

Therefore, since the temples 9 can be freely manipulated as shown by the broken lines in FIG. 5, the temples 9 can be easily worn by any person with a dog's auricle.

Reference numeral 10 in the figure is a lead wire for applying a signal to the unit body 5.

Since the behind-the-ear earphone of the present invention is constructed as described above, the temple can be integrally formed with the unit case using an inexpensive synthetic resin, and it can be used by people with any shape and size of auricles. This means that the earphones can be easily worn even when the earphones are in use, which is extremely advantageous in terms of cost and effective as simple earphones, making them of great practical value.
