Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wire-winding device for earphones, especially for a hands free kit for mobile phones.
  • a hands free kit for mobile phones usually comprises one or two earphones, a wire with a connector attached to it for connection to the mobile phone and a microphone, usually with clip, which is provided on the wire.
  • Comparable earphones are available for a series of other electronic appliances, for example for mobile stereo cassette recorders, mobile CD players, mobile MP3 players and the like, and may include one or two earpieces for insertion into the ear.
  • Such earphones enable mobile use of electronic appliances, for example when walking, running, driving a car or working. For all these uses there must be an adequate length of wire available which frequently leads to undesirable tangling of the wire.
  • German Utility Model DE 296 21 717 U1 discloses a wire-winding device for the wire of a hands free kit with a housing and a wire winding unit provided within said housing which comprises a pivotable cylindrical wire-winding body for winding up the wire.
  • the wire-winding body is pretensioned by means of a torsion or spiral spring in a direction of rotation in which the wire is further wound onto the wire-winding body.
  • the wire is permanently attached to the wire-winding device with the result that different wire-winding devices have to be manufactured, stocked and sold for different types of hands free kits. This unnecessarily increases the manufacturing and sales costs. It is also not possible for the same wire-winding device to be used for different electronic appliances, such as a mobile phone and a mobile data play-back appliance.
  • wire-winding devices which are designed expressly for specific applications, are disclosed in the following German Patent or Utility Model applications: DE 20 2004 011 010 U1, DE 20 2004 014 202 U1, DE 2004 005 833 U1, DE 298 13 079 U1, DE 202 05 121 U1, DE 201 20 215 U1, DE 201 19 860 U1 and DE 198 47 143 A1.
  • Further wire-winding devices predominantly for stationary applications are disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 5,489,010, U.S. Pat. No. 5,544,836, U.S. Pat. No. 5,723,815, U.S. Pat. No. 6,578,683 B1, U.S. Pat. No. 6,623,294 B2 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,626,389 B2.
  • These wire-winding devices are not suitable for joint use with different types of earphones.
  • a multi-function wire rewinder is disclosed in German Utility Model DE 20 2004 001 604 U1.
  • the lower part of the housing can be combined with functional elements for realizing said different technical functions, especially with USB ports, card readers, sockets, cooling fans, radio transmitters and such like.
  • This wire rewinder is not suitable for use for earphones or hands free kits for mobile phones already purchased by the user.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,803,525 B1 discloses a wire-winding device.
  • a wire winding unit In the cylindrical housing a wire winding unit is provided with a cylindrical wire-winding body with an upper and a lower winding flange.
  • a torsion spring one end of which is actively joined to the wire-winding body, and the other end of which is actively joined to the housing, is provided for pretensioning of the wire-winding body.
  • the wire To assemble the wire-winding device, the wire must first of all be suitably wound and then the torsion spring for pretensioning of the wire-winding body must be suitably hooked in. There is no provision for subsequent replacement of the wire and this is also impossible unless the torsion spring is unhooked. Therefore, the wire-winding device is not suitable for easy replacement of the wire, i.e. for being used for a different earphone.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a wire-winding device for earphones, especially for hands free kits of mobile phones, with which it is possible to replace the earphone or the earphone wire in a simple manner.
  • a wire-winding device wherein the wire-winding unit is designed such that the earphone wire can be replaced with the wire-winding body pretensioned or biased.
  • the wire-winding device can be used for different types of earphones. In this case replacement can be undertaken by the user himself without the wire-winding unit having to be taken apart and re-assembled after replacement of the wire and/or without the necessity to unhook a torsion spring pretensioning (biasing) the wire-winding body and without the necessity to hook it back in after replacing the wire.
  • the wire-winding device according to the invention can therefore be sold as an accessory independently of the earphone itself and replacement or insertion of the earphone wire can be undertaken by the user himself.
  • the wire-winding body has a wire clamping area for clamping the earphone wire.
  • This clamping area can be formed by a clamping element on the outer circumference of the wire-winding body or more preferably by a channel-type wire guidance area formed by axially protruding walls of the wire-winding body.
  • the housing and/or the wire-winding unit is designed such that the earphone wire can be removed from the aforementioned clamping area in a completely unwound rotary position of the wire-winding body and a different earphone wire can be inserted and again be clamped by it.
  • the new earphone wire can also be inserted into the clamping area in an essentially stretched form and can be clamped by it.
  • a removable cover may be provided on the housing and/or adjustable, especially hinged or pivotable, housing sections can be provided which expose the wire inlet area and the wire outlet area of the wire-winding device for replacement of the earphone wire and conceal it again after replacement so that the wire cannot be removed or fall out unintentionally.
  • the wire-winding unit together with the pretensioned wire-winding body is accommodated in the housing so as to be radially displaceable and replacement of the earphone wire is then prevented if the wire-winding unit is completely accommodated within the housing.
  • This function can be accomplished by means of appropriate design of elements of the wire-winding unit and the housing, for example in that the wire inlet area and/or wire outlet area, which circumferentially surrounds the incoming wire, is or are formed by the reciprocation of sections of the wire-winding unit and sections of the housing.
  • the wire-winding unit together with the pretensioned wire-winding body can be taken out of the housing completely. This enables replacement of the wire with the wire-winding unit removed. It is advantageous if replacement of the wire is not prevented or hampered by sections of the housing.
  • a latching mechanism for detachably securing the wire-winding unit in the housing.
  • a latching mechanism can be formed by reciprocating latching elements or by a detachable locking mechanism.
  • the aforementioned securing function can be exercised by a clip element, expediently under elastic deformation of sections of the housing and/or the wire-winding unit.
  • a locking element is also provided for detachably locking the rotary movement of the wire-winding body which may be in discrete or arbitrary rotary positions of the wire-winding body.
  • the locking mechanism can be formed by reciprocation of the housing with the wire-winding unit, for example in such a way that a movable locking pawl is provided on the housing and a wheel with latching teeth reciprocating with said locking pawl is provided on the wire-winding body.
  • the locking mechanism is formed completely within the wire-winding unit. This makes it easier to completely remove the wire-winding unit with the wire-winding body pretensioned or biased. In this case the locking mechanism conveniently locks the wire-winding body even with the wire-winding unit in the removed state.
  • the wire-winding unit includes a torsion spring for pretensioning the wire-winding body, one end of which is actively joined to a floor of the wire-winding unit and the other end of which is actively joined to the wire-winding body.
  • a torsion spring for pretensioning the wire-winding body, one end of which is actively joined to a floor of the wire-winding unit and the other end of which is actively joined to the wire-winding body.

  • the wire-winding device comprises a housing 1 in which the wire-winding unit referred to overall as 50 is accommodated so as to be removable.
  • the top circumferential edge of housing 1 can be concealed by a cover 45 mountable on pin 17 so that the circumferential side wall of housing 1 is almost completely closed and the wire (not shown) is routed into and out of wire-winding unit 50 at diametrically opposed wire inlet and wire outlet areas.
  • wire-winding unit 50 includes a base referred to overall as 10 with an axial pin 11 provided on it, on which wire-winding cylinder 20 is pivotably supported.
  • Circumferential side wall 21 and arch-shaped curved wall 24 of cylinder 20 form a cylindrical receptacle in which torsion spring 30 is accommodated.
  • End 31 of torsion spring 30 is hooked into slot 12 of pin 11 protruding through the base of cylinder 20 , the other end of torsion spring 30 bent into a lug 32 is hooked into axial cut-outs 23 of cylinder 20 .
  • the cylindrical receptacle is covered on top by a spring lid 38 , radial projections 37 of which are pushed into further axial cut-outs 22 of cylinder 20 .
  • front edge 38 of spring lid 35 is matched to the contour of arch-shaped curved area 24 of cylinder 20 .
  • spring lid 35 sits a locking washer 40 with an internal hole 41 which is shaped to correspond to the front free end of pin 11 .
  • locking washer 40 By placing locking washer 40 over the front free end of pin 11 , cylinder 20 with torsion spring 30 accommodated therein is secured axially, preferably essentially free from play.
  • the axial locking referred to before can be achieved by means of hot-stamping of spring lid 35 on pin 11 .
  • wire-winding unit 50 can be pushed as a unit into housing 1 and pulled out of it again, even with cylinder 20 pretensioned, as described in the following.
  • arch-shaped curved side wall 24 and circumferential side wall of cylinder 20 form a wire clamping area or a wire guiding device 26 for the wire.
  • cylinder 20 is brought into a rotational position in which the front or rear end respectively of aforementioned wire guiding device 26 is aligned or level with the front 15 or rear 19 wire inlet area respectively of base 10 .
  • This rotational position can be secured by a locking mechanism, as described in the following, with torsion spring 30 pretensioned.
  • front and rear wire inlet area 15 , 19 respectively are open at the top when wire-winding unit 50 has been removed from housing 1 .
  • the wire can thus be introduced from the top in the aforementioned rotational position of cylinder 20 and can be inserted in the wire guiding device or wire clamping area 26 .
  • wire-winding cylinder 20 continues to be pretensioned by torsion spring 30 in a rotational direction in which the wire is wound up further.
  • the wire is automatically wound on circumferential side wall 21 of cylinder 20 . In this case care must be taken to ensure that the wire does not escape upwards out of wire inlet area 15 , 19 .
  • wire-winding unit 50 is initially pushed into housing 1 after replacement of the wire and then the wire is wound up automatically by releasing the locking mechanism.
  • front and rear wire inlet area 15 , 19 is secured at the top by side cover 6 and top side 2 of the housing when wire-winding unit 50 is completely pushed into housing 1 .
  • side cover 6 engages in tangential slot 16 formed in front wire inlet cheeks 14 in order to further secure wire-winding unit 50 . Consequently, the wire cannot be replaced when wire-winding unit 50 is accommodated in housing 1 .
  • a ball 7 is provided which is accommodated in a radial cut-out 13 provided in the floor of base 10 and in a labyrinth-like ball guide 28 (cf. FIG. 2 c ) provided on the underside of cylinder 20 , said ball guide being formed in a manner known from the prior art (cf. for example U.S. Pat. No. 6,803,525 B1).
  • the ball on winding or unwinding of the wire, the ball runs on an inner circular path of circular guide 28 whilst the ball on stopping of rotary cylinder 20 finally runs into a radial outer receptacle of ball guide 28 in order to block further rotary movement of cylinder 20 .
  • the locking mechanism created in this manner blocks the rotary movement of pretensioned (biased) cylinder 20 in discrete rotary positions of said cylinder predetermined by ball guide 28 .
  • the locking mechanism is formed completely within wire-winding unit 50 , that is, formed completely by elements of said unit, which enables replacement of the wire in the manner previously described when wire-winding unit 50 is removed from housing 1 .
  • such a locking mechanism can also be designed in a different manner, for example as a ratchet mechanism or pawl mechanism as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,803,525 B1, as a tongue-shaped locking element which reciprocates with a circular guide formed on the cylinder as disclosed in DE 20 2004 011 010 U1 or DE 20 2004 014 202 U1, or as a guide ring structure as disclosed for example in DE 298 13 079 U1.

  • wire-winding unit 50 can also be accommodated in housing 1 in any other positive fit or force fit manner.
  • the diameter of wire-winding cylinder 20 is smaller than the diameter of base 10 .
  • the floor of base 10 forms a flange-like structure which is closed by the dome-like or hood-like curved outer circumferential edge of housing 1 when wire-winding unit 50 is accommodated in said housing 1 .
  • an annular gap is created between circumferential side wall 21 of cylinder 20 and the dome-like or hood-like curved outer circumferential edge of housing 1 , said gap being ideally suited due to its shape for secure accommodation of the wire wound onto cylinder 20 without the wire twisting or tangling.
  • the wire-winding unit is removed from the housing for replacement of an earphone wire. Then the wire clamping area of the wire-winding body is easily accessible so that after essentially being completely unwound the earphone wire can be removed from said area and be replaced with a different earphone wire. In the completely unwound state, the wire-winding body is locked by a locking mechanism to prevent unintentional rewinding.
