Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an ear-hook radio that can be used without using earphones.

(Prior Art) Compact radios that have been proposed in the past and can be listened to while moving or outdoors are of the type where the sound is heard directly from the radio speaker, or the type of which is listened to using earphones. Either one or the other.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, in the case of the former type of direct listening radio, the diameter of the speaker diaphragm has to be large due to the volume, so it is not possible to make the radio even more compact. In addition, in the case of a radio that uses earphones, the cord of the earphones must be connected to the radio itself, the radio body must be placed in a pocket, etc., and the earphones must be inserted into the ear canal, which may cause discomfort during use. It is well known that cords also get in the way and are extremely troublesome.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention consists of a radio main body 1 having a built-in receiving circuit section.
A speaker part 2 is provided on one side, and is attached to a receiving part located at the center of the upper outer circumference of the radio main body so as to be able to rotate around one end of an arcuate ear string 6. It is bent toward the side of the radio body.

(Function) Place the speaker part 2 of the radio main body 1 to your ear, hang the ear string 6 to your ear, and listen to the radio.

(Example) In FIGS. 1 and 2, a radio main body 1 having a built-in receiving circuit section has a circular outer shape, and a speaker section 2 is provided on one side thereof. A tuner knob 3, a volume adjustment knob 4, and a switch knob 5 are provided on the outer periphery of the other side of the radio body 1, respectively. Knobs 3 and 4 are rotary knobs. An ear string 6 is attached to a receiving part protruding from the upper center of the outer periphery of the radio body 1.
is attached so as to be able to rotate around the rotating part 7, and is bent in an arc shape on the side of the radio body. Therefore, the direction of rotation of the ear string 6 is the direction surrounding the speaker section 2. For this reason, the ear strings 6 can be folded to the outer peripheral side of the radio main body (left and right sides when viewed from the front). The ear strings 6 are bent in an arc shape to the extent that they do not fall out of the ears unless the user engages in strenuous exercise. Since the rotating part 7 of the ear string 6 is attached to the receiving part located at the center of the upper part of the outer circumference of the radio main body 1, the ear string can be hung on either the left or right ear. Also, the radio body 1
A battery compartment (not shown) is provided on the other side.
This battery compartment is covered with a battery cover 8.

Next, how to use it will be explained.

The speaker unit 2 is placed directly against the ear canal, and the ear string 6 is positioned behind the ear so that it is hooked around the ear. With the radio body 1 still hooked around the ear,
For example, people can listen to information directly from the radio while watching a baseball game at a baseball stadium, fishing, jogging, or cycling.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment. In this example, the radio main body 1 has a rectangular outer shape, and a tuner knob 3 and a switch button 5 are provided on the surface opposite to the speaker section 2, respectively. The tuner knob 3 is a knob that can be slid up and down, and the switch button is a push button that turns on and off the power switch of the radio main body by pressing the switch button. 4 is a volume adjustment knob.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, according to the invention, the speaker part side can be placed against the ear to listen, so there is no need to make the speaker as large as in the past, and the radio itself can be made extremely compact. I can do it,
Moreover, it doesn't come off your ears like earphones, so
You will not feel any discomfort even if you use it for a long time, you will not get tired even if you use it for a long time, and you can use it while doing active activities such as exercising or working. Since the speaker section is provided on the side of the radio body, the radio can be made more compact. Since the ear string can be freely rotated around the receiving part located in the center of the upper part of the outer circumference of the radio body, the ear string can be folded into the radio body for convenient storage and the ear string can be moved from side to side. It can be used by hanging it on either ear.
