Description

The invention relates to the field of mobile communications, in particular to wired systems of cell phones, and in particular to devices of two-way wired plug-in or in-ear headphones, which are used for personal listening to speech, music or other sound signals.

As you know, a significant part of audio players and cell phones used in everyday life is equipped with a wired headset in the form of two-way wired plug-in or in-ear headphones. (See, for example, Nokia, Samsung, LG, Siemens, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Apple, etc. Application manuals or directly on RuNet, for reference: Overview of wired headsets Sony Ericsson MW-610 / MW-710, or, in a more general case. Headphones are wired.)

A common disadvantage of such devices is that the branched part of the wire cable, containing headphones at its ends, often tangles with each other and with the main (dual) part of the cable. To unravel such “snares”, one has to spend not only time, but also nerves. The latter is not only inconvenient for urban residents, but often unacceptable.

A known clamp for stranded wires containing bolted connections (See RF patent No. 2219079, class B60M 1/24, 05/06/2002).

The disadvantage of this device is the inoperability of the bolted connection in relation to the task at hand.

A device for hearing protection with a cord and a method for its manufacture, which includes two sound-attenuating elements of compressible elastic material connected by a cord wound in a bundle. (See RF patent No. 2348389, CL A61F 1/08, 10/14/2003.)

The disadvantage of such a device is that the existing and proposed method of folding the cord by tying a knot from it in the form of a wound bundle with two opposite ends emerging from the bundle, with the subsequent possibility of unwinding by moving the first sound-attenuating element in the direction from the second, is only suitable for pre-sale assembly, as it is laborious for repeated use.

Known earplug and headphone with an earbud, inserted with the possibility of removal in the outer ear canal, and a headphone with an earbud, consisting of a set of several soundproof walls, integral made on the outer periphery of the main body, made of an elastic material such as rubber, for example silicone rubber, or type of soft synthetic resins, for example polypropylene, in the form of rings with a specified interval in the axial direction and from the same material as the main body, providing yuschy softness and ability to adapt to the installation in the ear canal without irritating its sensitive areas. (See RF patent No. 2315442, CL H04R 1/00, 2006.01.)

The disadvantage, despite the prevention of discomfort when wearing the device for long periods of time, is that the unresolved problem of increasing the compactness of the design of the wired headset and improving the usability of the headset of wired two-way headphones.

A headset with a wired / wireless auxiliary in-ear headphone is known, in which winding means installed in the main body is used to lay the headphone wires for winding a wire cable if the auxiliary head phone is connected to the main body via this cable (See clause 2 abstract, application of the Russian Federation No. 2008103878/02, CL H04H 60/91, 01/31/2008).

The disadvantage of this solution to the problem is the bulkiness of the device, since in addition to the required coil, its drive is also used (engine, see paragraph 3 of this essay).

Known Nokia wired headset for connecting to a mobile phone. A double-sided rubberized hook-and-loop hook allows you to gently and securely fix the headset on the consumer-friendly side and eliminate unpleasant sensations during long-term wearing, and a directional microphone with noise reduction, placed on a rigid holder, guarantees high quality voice transmission even in noisy environments (See Runet: Wired headsets Nokia wired headsets).

The problem, however, is to prevent inconvenience arising from the use and storage of such devices.

According to advertising offers, a device is known under the name of “Clamp for wires”, which is an elastic tube, the surface of which on one side is evenly, with a certain step, incised by transverse half rings to increase the flexibility of the tube while maintaining the elasticity of the cut half-rings. On the other hand, the tube has a longitudinal section along the entire length. This tube is equipped with a separate special expander. The device operates as follows. The expander is inserted into a longitudinal section from one end of the tube and advances in it until a longitudinal gap is formed. The fixed wires are immersed in this slot. The successive advancement of the expander through the section moves the slot, but at the same time, the edges of the slot released by it are closed and, consequently, the wires that are already immersed are sequentially locked. Removing the wires from the retainer is carried out in the reverse order. An expander is also inserted, but wires are already being removed from the other end and from the resulting gap. (The coordinates of the invention for reference, except that it was a production of the PRC, could not be found.)

The disadvantage of the device in relation to the problem under consideration is the need to carry two naughty elements - a long elastic tube and a small elongating expander. The usefulness and effectiveness of such a “Lock” for stationary conditions of the premises and many bundles of different wires is undeniable.

As a prototype, a wired headset in the form of Apple’s classic white headphones is adopted, consisting of an input plug, a two-wire wire cable, the upper part of which is branched and equipped with headphones at its ends, and in the device of which a small part is installed on the branched section of the wire cable to facilitate use a movable coupling connecting this branch. (See the book iPod, Series “Missing Instructions.” / Mog D., Birsdorfer J. D .: transl. From English. - M .: ECOM Publishers, 2009. - 304 p. Section: Initial iPod Setup, P. 9 .)

The disadvantage of this device, in spite of some relief of the problem of preventing tangles when wearing and storing such a wired headset, is the danger of free ends that contain headphones in the loop that exists between the sleeve and the junction of the main part of the headset wired cable. Which can also serve as a source of inconvenience and unacceptable hassle.

The objective of the invention is to create a wired headset design with an achievable technical result in the form of increasing the compactness of the wired headset design and increasing its efficiency by increasing the reliability and convenience of using a headset of mobile devices containing wired two-way headphones.

The problem is solved in that in a wired headset, in accordance with the invention, from the input plug to the branching point of the main part of the headset wired cable, the surface of the insulating coating of the wired cable is made in such a way that exciting components from a pair of snake-clasps constituting with insulation are created the main part of the wire cable as a whole, and these exciting components are made so that they perceive each wire of the branched part of the wire cable as odeystvuyuschy complementary elements of each pair of gripping components of the fastener-snakes.

The proposed wired headset design is illustrated using a schematic representation of a solution.

The drawing shows the cross-section of the wires of the wire cable of the headset with a one-sided, relative to the wire of the main part of the wire cable, placement of the exciting components of the fastener-snakes, where:

1. The insulation coating of the main part of the wire cable.

2. The conductor of the main part of the wire cable.

3. The lead wire of the branched part of the wire cable.

4. The embedded lead wire of the branched part of the wire cable.

5. An element of exciting components of snake fasteners.

Wired headset is arranged as follows. From the input plug to the branching point of the main part of the headset's wire cable, the surface of the insulating coating of the wire cable (see drawing, item 1) is made in such a way that exciting components are created from a pair of snake fasteners, which make up the whole part of the insulating coating of the main part of the wire cable moreover, these exciting components (see drawing, position 5) are made so that they perceive each wire of the branched part of the wire cable (see drawing, positions 3, 4) as interacting Complementary elements of each pair of gripping components of the fastener-snakes.

A wired headset works as follows. Upon the termination of the use of wired headphones, their lead-in wires of the branched part of the wire cable (see the drawing, items 3, 4) are inserted, sequentially or simultaneously, into the capturing grooves of the elements of each of the snake fasteners (see the drawing, item 5) located on the main part wire cable, by compressive forces, thus forming a fixed system in the form of a single stranded wire. When it becomes necessary to use headphones, the headphones wires (see drawing, items 3, 4) are removed from the grooves of these gripping elements of the main part of the wire cable.

In terms of production, the invention is easily implemented, since it does not affect the fundamental components of the device, but only concerns the change in the shape of the insulating coating of the main part of the headset's wire cable, and, if necessary, the selection of the composition of this insulating coating from the point of view of providing the necessary elasticity.

It is the formation of the exciting elements of the pair of snake-clasps during the insulation coating of the main part of the wire cable that allows you to create a simple system of operational fixation, preventing tangling of the wires of the branched part of the wire cable during storage. This provides not only an increase in the compactness of the design of the wired headset, but also an increase in the efficiency of its operation by ensuring the reliability and convenience of using mobile wired headsets, in comparison with the solutions used in the analogues.
