Applicationled Iiareh 9, 1922. Serial No. 542,220.
My invention relates to head receiver sets in general, and has to do more particu` larly with an improved receiver head set for use in telephone or wireless receiving, when it is desired to have two ear pieces properly iitted and held against the ears in the best positions Yfor hearing and at the same time comfortably.
Prior to my invention various means of adjustment have been employed to adjust the ear pieces on the head band to accom- 'modate heads or' various sizes and shapes. Set screws and other devices have been used which required the removal of the set from the wearers head to permit the proper adjustment desired. To overcome these objectionable features and to provide a simple means for adjusting the ear pieces l have provided an improved spring clamping member which is integrally formed with the ear piece supporting member, which, by means of frictional resistance, holds the receiver or ear pieces or the set in any position and enables adjustments to be readily made without removing the receiver set from the head of the wearer.
Another feature of my invention is the manner in which l secure the head bands to the posts supporting the ladjustable spring clamping members, which members support the receivers7 whereby the head bands Vare properly spaced relative to each other so that they will rest snugly upon the head of the wearer.
For a more complete understanding or my invention, reference may be had to the accompanying drawing, in which like reference characters in the several views denote like parts, and in which- Fig. 1 is an elevation of a complete head set embodying my invention;l
Fig. 2 shows a receiver and a clamping device and also the head bands secured to a common member in plan view; f
Fig. 3 is a sectional view along theline 3 3 of Fig. l showing` the two ends of a .pair ol head bands engaging the receiver supporting member or post; l
Fig. 4 is a sectional view along the line 4-4 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 5 is a sectional view 55 of Fig. 2.
Referring now more in detail to my invention as illustrated, I show a pair of head bands 1, each being suitably formed along the line vsupporting members are the same,
so as to tit snugly over t-he top of the head or the wearer. The arch of each head band 1 is encased between the strips of fiat webbing 2 or some other suitable material t0 permitthe head bands to rest upon the wearers head in a comfortable manner. To each pair of ends 3 oi' the head bands l, l secure a supporting member or post 4, and since both supportingmembers 4 and the manner in which they are secured toa pair 'of free ends 3 are alike, a description of one will suiiice. The end 3 of the vhead band 1 has a portion 5 turned over slightly and a` fiat oblong 4depression 6, the purpose oi which will presently be described. The supporting member 4is cylindrical in construction and Ahas its one end 7 flattened, but not enough to closethe opening 8. The pair ot ends 3 or" the wires of the head bands are now placed into the opening Fl of the end 7, the said ends 3 being kept separated and in engagement with the wall 9 o1 the opening 8. The end 7 of the member 4 is now punched at 10, 11 and 12 to press the wall 9 of the opening 8 at 10 between the ends 5 of the wires 1, at 11 to press the wall 9 into engagement with the depressions G, and at 12 to press the wall 9 together between the portions 3 or' the head bands 1. The wall 9 engaging the depres- -sions 6, securely holds the' head bands in place against being moved in or out of the member 4. The wall 9 being pressed downward until it engages the opposite sideof the wall at right anglesas shown in Fig. 4,
forms shoulders for the ends 3 and separates them so that the head bands are properly spaced relative to each other and Vmaintained in such position in the manner just described.
Referring now to the supporting member for adjustably holding the receivers R in their adjusted positions, and `since both description of one will suiiice. I provide a supporting member 14, having its ends 15 turnedback parallel to eachy other and each provided with an oriiice through which the pins 17 extend. The pins 17 are suitably secured to the receiver casing RC to pivotally support the receiver R in position. rlothe back of the supporting member 14, and integrally therewith, I provide a U- shaped spring clamping' membery 18. The legs 19 of the U-shaped clamping member theirVV normal Atension until they are .the screw 21,
18 diverge slightly so as to give them a tension when their tree ends are torced toy,ward each rother 'for purposes as will presently be described." Each leg 19 .is provided with an oritioe 2O to'permit the insertion oi' the cylindrical supporting ineinber 4.
To insert the cylindrical supporting member 4 into the orifices 2O oi" the legs 19 of Atheineinber 18, the .free ends of the said legs 19 are iorced toward eachy other against j substantiail f, parallel with each other. The movement places the legs 19 oi the member 18 at rightangles ywith the member 4 and as the orifices yare slightly larger than the diameter ot themember 4, the same may be inserted into and the member-18 is free to move up and down on the member 4. When the tensionv is released from the ree ends of the legs 19 of the U-sliaped inembcr 18, they assume their normal position as illustrated in 1, thusplacing their legs 19 in angular relation toy themember V.4such as tocause the legs 19 to grip the `member 4 to prevent anylateral movement ci the receiver supporting member 14 relative toy the member 4, thus clamping the member k14 in place. 4The member 14 cannot now be movel up Vor down due to the .ricticnal resistance existingbetween the .legs 19 and the 1member 4.
To prevent the reinovaloi the U-shaped clamping member- 18 from the member 4, I provide a screw which has screw-threaded vengagement with the end 22 of the ,member 4.' '.l`he head oithe screw 21 is slightly larger in diameter than the diameter of the orifices inthe legs 19 of the member 18 so that the member 18 cannot be removed vfrom the member 4 withcut first removing lvlrom the above description, it may readily be seen that in order to adjustY the receivers .l-.up or down, as the case may be,
Y to lit-,properly to the ears oi' the wearer, all
-supportiifig ,member ion. `Whenthev receivers l R- have been that .is necessary is to press inwardly with the fingers the legs 19 of a U-shapedclampthe walls of the or` ing member 18 until iiccs 2O 'tree the cylindrical member 4, where-v upon the receiver supporting member` 14 iiiay be moved upordawn untilthereceiver `is properly ittedngainst the ear o'i' the .ivearei frhen thisadjustmentis obtained, pressure is released tromthe reeends of the legs '19,
Y permitting the legs tomove fapart, causing the walls .oi the, oriiices 2() the member 4 to hold receiver tc againgrip Y 14 in its adjusted posipiaced in their adjustedpositions'after the ,manner described, the Llp-,shaped clamping `member 18l iii-ayA be rotated on the Vmember 4to permit the receiver to `fit snugly against the ears 'ot the wearer. v
geese/i2 same relative to the posts which are attached to the head bands. further pro-v vide only one member or post, for each receiver, to holdthe two bands of the set in position. By inserting the ends of the wires in the posts in the desired manner and by then depressingthe wall of the postin three places, l am able to firmly secure the posts to the head bands.. By forcing the wall of the post at12, as shown in Fig. 4, againstI the opposite 'side or wall of' the post, the wall of the post at 25 extends down at right anglesto a center line drawn across and just below the centers oi the wires ot the bands, thus making it impossible to torce this ydepressed portion of the tube or post 4 outwardly it attempt is made to torce the wires together.
