Description

Device for fixing the earphone}

The present invention relates to an earphone fixing ear mechanism, more specifically, an earphone fixing ear earphone which can stably fix the ear earphone in a clipped manner and can hear both the earphone and the ambient sound, Followed by a mechanism.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, earphones are a kind of speakers for users to listen to sounds by plugging in their ears, and are used to connect to wired or wirelessly connected playback means such as a radio, MP3, cellular phone,

Through the earphone, the user puts the earphone in the ear canal and concentrates on the sound played by the playing means, or he / she listens to music, and performs other activities such as work, reading, study, and exercise.

However, when the earphone is inserted into the ear canal to listen to the sound, the surrounding sound may not be heard well, which may cause a dangerous situation to the user.

Particularly, when the earphone is plugged in, it can be exposed to a safety accident due to collision with a vehicle or other pedestrian because it can not hear the surrounding sound during exercise such as jogging, hiking, or the like.

In addition, listening to a loud sound for a long period of time with the earphone plugged has a bad influence on the eardrum, and if severe, it causes a rupture of the eardrum or hearing loss.

On the other hand, earpieces are generally divided into earrings, piercings, and other ornaments and fixtures for fixing earphones to the user's ear.

That is, the present applicant proposed Patent Document 1 that the earphone is fixed to the user's ear through the latter earphone.

However, there is a problem that the ear mechanism of Patent Document 1 is easily peeled off due to rough movement or impact of the user when worn.

In addition, in the ear mechanism of Patent Document 1, there is a problem that it is very troublesome to wear the earphone, since the user needs to separately purchase parts for each use of the user.

In addition, since the conventional earphone needs to be inserted into the ear canal by pressurization, there is a problem that it causes pain and itching by the insertion pressure.

Accordingly, the present applicant intends to propose an earphone fixing ear mechanism which is fixed firmly to a user's ear without inserting the earphone into the ear canal, and can listen to the surrounding sound and can escape from an accident risk during listening to the sound.
