Description

J. E. WOOD 311m fox MLM may,
Patented Oct. 13, 1925.
UNITED STATES JOHN E. WOOD. OF PITTSFIELD. Eli-RSS2:CIEUSETTE.
EAR-PHONE ATTACHMENT.
Application filed January 23, 1925.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN E. \Voon, a ciri zen of the United States, residing at Pitts field, in the coanty of Berkshire and Stats oi: Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ear-phone At iachments, of which the following is a specincation.
This invention relates to ear-phone at tachnients and is particularly adapted for radio uses.
The primary object of my invention is to provide a light, simple, compact, quick detachable attachment for the conventional car-phones now commonly used in radio for the purpose of excluding to a certain extent, if desired, external sounds.
A further object of my invention is to provide a compressible cushion around the outside of the periphery of the attachment which contacts with the head of the user to thereby prevent the so-called radio rash occasioned by the use of the ordinary earphone.
Still another feature of the invention resides in the fact that the attachment is so constructed that the compressible cushion aforesaid is situated in such a manner as to completely surround the ear of the user to thereby prevent the ingress of foreign noises.
Still another and important feature of the invention is the fact that the ear-phone attachment contemplated by my invention spaces the ear-phone diaphragm from the war of the user a considerable distance to avoid the disagreeable and harmful results on the ear of the user, due to static conditions of the air or the condition of the phone.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a view in front elevation of my attachment.
Fig. 2 is a View in rear elevation of the same, and
Fig. 3 is a view, partly in section, of my invention attached to an ordinary earphone.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing, wherein like reference characters represent like parts, 1 designates the earphone attachment generally, which is made of any suitable material, but preferably aluminum because of its lightness, 2 designates an annular outstanding collar adapt Serial No. 4,286.

ear-phone when in which re ad pt.
vn op we pecuiiar Z-shaped forthat pocket o is e or the attachment eiving the annular 101' is cements 01 the attachment, but
r provides a reacy means silient fastening clips rnaion serves the funct' n the ear-phone.
iioiizaontally Qlii'fiil forms the pocket for tin wcrinore limits the out ard movement of the Ii'RESllGI.
it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that by virtue the peculiar formr'ion the drawing, of my application t simple construction is prowas i i fun iions of spacing phragin, providing :i ct with the head of the user and or sin-re riding the entire ear of when in n for the purpose of pre annoyance b conversation of others oi F never, the attachdoe bdi'lj.) exclude externai s, such as conversation directed at the rser it will be obvious that my a tachinent provides an insulation between the receiver and the shuil of the head, and those harsh sounc i to the static conditions or tuning t other receivers are much less annoying aithough the actual program being listened to is loud and clear.
Haring thus described my what I claim is:
1. An ear-phone at achment, comprising a body portion having vral oppositely disposed circuit suljistantially ii;- shaped formation, s clips secured to one of said flanges for attacln'ient to the car-phone, s '1 ear-phoneatta innent being "h a soft bearing surface for iontacix with the head of the user and adapb d to entireiy surround the ear of the user, 1 bstantialiy as d scribed.
11in ear-phone attachment, comprising a body portion having an integral circuininvention,
IOO
ferentiei flange extending :xt su 'ist'nmial "aid flange. whereby an enlarged yielding right, angles to the body portion, spring decontact surface is provided for surrounding vices nttmhed to said flange for detachable the ear of the user, substantially as de- 30 connection with the ear-phone, a circular re- D silienl: washer secured to said body portion, 111 testnnony whereof-111ml! y s g said washer being of greater internal circumference than the body portion and the JOHN E. \VOOD.
