Description

25 30 35 40 537 776 arranged along a second longitudinal side of the first headband cover unit, the second longitudinal side being an opposite side to the first longitudinal side. The second headband cover unit is foldable along the first longitudinal side of the first headband cover unit. Also, the third headband cover unit is foldable along the second longitudinal side of the first headband cover unit. Thereby, the second and third headband units may be folded around the headband of the headphone to detachably attach the headband cover to the headband of the headphone.

An advantage with the headband cover according to the first aspect is that the headband cover is interchangeable. This enables a user, or wearer, to express his or her individual taste and/or style.

An advantage with an interchangeable headband cover is that the headband cover may be changed and/or washed. Many users, or Wearers, of headphones use their headphones rather frequently. This means that the headband may become wom out, or soiled. However, if the headband cover according to the first aspect becomes wom out the user may change the worn-out headband cover to a new headband cover. Also, the user may wash a soiled headband cover and use the same headband cover after it is has been cleaned.

Preferably, but not necessarily, the first headband cover unit has a waist portion whose width, along a direction perpendicular to the first and second longitudinal sides, is wider than corresponding widths at respective outer portions of the first headband cover unit, the outer portions of the first headband cover unit being positioned at either side of the waist portion.

By providing a comparatively wider waist portion of the first headband cover unit (as compared to the widths of its outer portions) it is made possible to allow for an easier folding of the headband cover around the headband of the headphone.

In some embodiments, at least one of the first, second and third headband cover units has ?exibility. For example, said at least one of the first, second and third headband cover units may comprise: a padding element; a bendable plastic element abutting against the padding element; and clothing covering the padding element and the bendable plastic element.

In some embodiments, all of the first, second and third headband cover units have ?exibility. For instance, each of the first, second and third headband cover units may comprise: a padding element; a bendable plastic element abutting against the padding element; and clothing covering the padding element and the bendable plastic element.

By providing one or several headband cover units having ?exibility it is made possible to allow for an easier folding of the headband cover around the headband of the headphone.

Furthermore, by providing a combination of the comparatively wider waist portion of the first headband cover unit and one or several headband cover units having 10 15 20 25 30 35 537 776 ?exibility it is made possible to allow for an even easier folding of the headband cover around the headband of the headphone. No, or very little, force has to be applied to the second and third headband cover units in order to fold the headband cover around the headband. Instead, the headband cover may naturally take a shape around the headband When the user folds the second and third headband cover units of the headband cover around the headband of the headphone. Moreover, once folded around the headband the headband cover may be relatively securely attached to the headband.

The above-mentioned padding element may be made of foam. The foam may, for example, be PU foam (PU is an abbreviation for polyurethane) or, alternatively, EVA foam (EVA is an abbreviation for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate).

The above-mentioned bendable plastic element may be made of polypropylene (PP), or any other ?exible polymer material.

In some embodiments, the bendable plastic element is attached to the padding element by means of an adhesive.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned clothing may e. g. be made of fabric, leather, or artificial leather.

By providing a padding element, a bendable plastic element abutting against the padding (e.g., attached thereto by means of an adhesive), and clothing covering the padding element and the bendable plastic element it is e. g. made possible to provide a headband cover having suitable ?exibility.

In some embodiments, the second headband cover unit comprises at least one fastener element; and the third headband cover unit also comprises at least one fastener element such that the second and third headband cover units may be securely attached to the headband of the headphone When the second and third headband units are folded around the headband of the headphone.

For example, said at least one fastener element may be a hook-and-loop fastener element. The hook-and-loop fastener element may be a fabric hook-and-loop fastener, such as Velcro.

Alternatively, said at least one fastener element may be a magnetic element, or magnet.

In some embodiments, a first Width of the second headband cover unit corresponds to substantially half the length of a corresponding Width of the first headband cover unit; and a second Width of the third headband cover unit corresponds to substantially half the length of a corresponding Width of the first headband cover unit; Whereby the total length of said first and second Widths substantially equals the corresponding Width of the first headband cover unit When the second and third headband units are folded around the headband of the headphone.

According to a second aspect, a headband for a headphone is provided. The headband is configured to eXtend along a portion of a head of a Wearer of the 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 537 776 headphone. Furthermore, a headband cover according to the earlier-mentioned first aspect is detachably attached to the headband.

In some embodiments, the headband comprises at least two legs (i.e. two or more legs) that extend in a curvature corresponding to said portion of the head of the Wearer of the headphone. One or several of the at least two legs may be a metal wire. ln some embodiments, each of the at least two legs is a metal wire.

In some embodiments, each headband end of the headband is provided with hook-and-loop fastener elements configured to detachably attach with corresponding hook-and-loop fastener elements of the headband cover.

According to a third aspect, a headphone comprising a headband according to the earlier-mentioned second aspect is provided.

With reference to Pigs. 2a-b, a headphone 200 according to an example embodiment will be described. The headphone 200 comprises a headband 210 (see Pig. 2b). Typically, but not necessarily, the headband 210 is an arced headband. The headband 210 is configured to extend along a portion of a head of a user, or wearer, of the headphone 200. In other words, the headband 210 may be formed to a substantially U-shape or a substantially C-shape having a predeterrnined curvature so as to enable arrangement along a top portion of the head of the user.

As can be seen in Pig. 2b, the headband 210 may comprise two or more legs 21 la, 21 lb that extend in the curvature corresponding to the top portion of the head of the wearer of the headphone. The leg 21 la may be a metal wire. The leg 21 lb may also be a metal wire. Preferably, but not necessarily, both legs 2l la and 21 lb are metal wires.

Each headband end 220 is provided with a respective earpiece 230. The headband 210 can be said to interconnect the two earpieces 230. Each of the two earpieces 230 comprises respective speaker elements (not shown) and optionally also other constructional components (not shown), as is conventional and known in the art.

The earpieces 230 provide a volume around the ears of the user such that the headphone may be wom conveniently by the user and such that the sound listening experience is satisfactory when using the headphone 200. To this end, each of the earpieces 230 may comprise a respective ear cushion 231 to be positioned close to the ears of the user. On the opposite side to the ear cushion 231, there may be a cover plate 232. Typically, the speaker elements (not shown) and optionally also any other constructional components (not shown) are arranged in between the ear cushion 231 and the cover plate 232.

With continued reference to Pig. 2a, the headphone 200 is illustrated to include a headband cover 240. This headband cover 240 is configured to be folded around the headband 210. The headband cover 240 may e.g. be configured to be folded around the two or more legs 21 la, 221b of the headband 210 along with the extension of said legs 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 537 776 21 la, 21 lb. The headband cover 240 Will now be further detailed with reference to Figs. 3a-3b, Figs 4a-4b, Figs. 5a-5b, Figs. 6a-6b, and Figs. 7a-7b, respectively.

The headband cover 240 comprises a first headband cover unit 241, a second headband cover unit 242, and a third headband cover unit 243. The second headband cover unit 242 is arranged along a first longitudinal side 241a of the first headband cover unit 241. The third headband cover unit 243 is arranged along a second longitudinal side 24lb of the first headband cover unit 241. The second longitudinal side 241b is an opposite side to the first longitudinal side 241a. In other Words, the second longitudinal side 241b is positioned opposite to the first longitudinal side 24la.

Furthermore, the second headband cover unit 242 is foldable along the first longitudinal side 24la of the first headband cover unit 241. Also, the third headband cover unit 243 is foldable along the second longitudinal side 24lb of the first headband cover unit 241. Thereby, the second and third headband units 242, 243 may be folded around the headband 210 of the headphone 200 to detachably attach the headband cover 240 to the headband 210 of the headphone 200, as is schematically illustrated in Pig. 2a.

An advantage with the headband cover 240 is that the headband cover 240 is interchangeable. This enables a user, or wearer, to express his or her individual taste and/or style. An advantage with an interchangeable headband cover 240 is that the headband cover 240 may be changed and/or washed. Many users, or wearers, of headphones use their headphones 200 rather frequently. However, if the headband cover 240 becomes wom out the user may change the wom-out headband cover 240 to a new headband cover 240. Also, the user may wash a soiled headband cover 240 and use the same headband cover 240 after it is has been cleaned.

Optionally, the second headband cover unit 242 may comprise one or several fastener elements 251, 252. Also, the third headband cover unit 243 may comprise one or several fastener elements 253, 254. Thereby, the second and third headband cover units 242, 243 may be securely attached to the headband 210 of the headphone 200 when the second and third headband units 242, 243 are folded around the headband 210 of the headphone 200.

In the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 3a-3b, said one or several fastener elements are implemented by means of hook-and-loop fastener elements, such as fabric hook-and-loop fasteners (also colloquially known as Velcro). As can be seen in the folded mode of the headband cover in Pig. 3b, a hook-and-loop fastener element 251 of the second headband cover unit 241 may securely attach, or connect, to a corresponding hook-and-loop fastener element 253 of the third headband cover unit 243. Likewise, another hook-and-loop fastener element 252 of the second headband cover unit 241 may securely attach, or connect, to a corresponding hook-and-loop fastener element 254 of the third headband cover unit 243. 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 537 776 In an alternative embodiment, Which is illustrated in Figs. 4a-4b, said one or several fastener elements are also implemented by means of hook-and-loop fastener elements, such as fabric hook-and-loop fasteners. In this embodiment, hook-and-loop fastener elements 251, 252, 253, 254 are configured to securely attach, or connect, to respective hook-and-loop fastener elements 221 (see Fig. 2b) provided at the headband 210. As is schematically illustrated in Fig. 2b, the headband 210 may thus optionally be provided With hook-and-loop fastener elements 221 at each headband end 220 such that the hook-and-loop fastener elements 251, 252, 253, 254 of the headband cover 240 may be securely attached, or connected, to the respective hook-and-loop fastener elements 221 of the headband 210. In an example embodiment, the hook-and-loop fastener elements 221 of the headband 210 may comprise Velcro hooks and the hook-and-loop fastener elements 251, 252, 253, 254 of the headband cover 240 may comprise Velcro loops.

Figs. 5a-5b schematically illustrates that, in some embodiments, the first headband cover unit 241 may have a Waist portion 241c Whose Width Wwaist (along a direction L perpendicular to the first and second longitudinal sides 241a, 24lb) is comparatively Wider than corresponding Widths Womerpoftionl and Wouterpoftiong at respective outer portions 241d, 241e of the first headband cover unit 241 (i.e., WWW > Wouæfporliol?, Wwaisl > Woutefportiong). The outer portions 241d, 241e of the first headband cover unit 241 are positioned at either side of the Waist portion 24lc. Advantageously, but not necessarily, the Width denoted Wouærpoftionl may equal the Width denoted Wouæfpofliong (i.e., Wouæfpoftioï?: Wouærpoftiong). The exact lengths of the respective Widths WWm-St , Wouæfpoftior?, and Wouærpoftionz should be tested and evaluated for each specific case e. g. in dependence of certain user needs or demands.

As is schematically illustrated in Fig. 5a, a first Width W1 of the second headband cover unit 242 may correspond to substantially half the length of a corresponding Width W3 of the first headband cover unit 241. Also, a second Width W2 of the third headband cover unit 243 may correspond to substantially half the length of a corresponding Width W3 of the first headband cover unit 241. Thus, the total length of said first and second Widths (i.e., W1+W2) may substantially equal the corresponding Width W3 of the first headband cover unit 241 When the second and third headband units are folded (i.e., Wl+W2=W3), see e.g. Fig. 5b.

By providing a comparatively Wider Waist portion Wwaist of the first headband cover unit 241 (as compared to the Widths of its outer portions Wouæfportionl and Wouærporliong) it is made possible to allow for an easier folding of the headband cover 240 around the headband 210 of the headphone 200.

With reference to Figs. 6a-6b, another embodiment is disclosed. This embodiment is similar to the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 5a-5b.

In this embodiment, said one or several fastener elements 261, 262, 263, 264 are implemented by means of magnetic elements. As is schematically illustrated in the folded mode of the headband cover in Fig. 6b, a magnetic element 261 of the second headband cover unit 241 may securely attach, or connect, to a corresponding magnetic element 263 of the third headband cover unit 243 due to magnetic attraction between the magnetic elements 261 and 263, respectively. Likewise, another magnetic element 262 of the second headband cover unit 241 may securely attach, or connect, to a corresponding magnetic element 264 of the third headband cover unit 243 due to magnetic attraction between the magnetic elements 262, 264. In this embodiment, it may be an advantage to use rectangular-shaped magnetic elements 261-264 since this may facilitate the creation of the magnetic attraction between respective magnetic elements. However, other shapes of the magnetic elements 261-264 are also conceivable.

With reference to Figs. 7a-7b, yet another embodiment is disclosed. This embodiment is similar to the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 6a-6b. In this embodiment, the magnetic elements are circular- shaped magnetic elements 261-264. The embodiment illustrated in Figs. 7a-7b may e.g. be advantageous when used in combination with a headband 210 having extending legs 21 la, 21 lb in the form of metal wires (see e.g. Fig. 2b). When folded around a headband 210, a magnetic attraction may be created between each one of the magnetic elements 261-264 and the metal wires 21 la, 21 lb.

Accordingly, the second and third headband cover units 242, 243 may be securely attached to the headband 210 by means of the magnetic attraction created between each one of the magnetic elements 261-264 and the metal wires 21 la, 21 lb.
