Definitions
- the invention relates to a housing for electronic music recording and / or reproducing and communication devices, the device consisting of a flexible shell with a rear wall and front wall and with at least one receiving chamber.
- the associated housings and controls are those parts of the device that determine the size of the device and not the functional parts they contain.
- An example of such devices are so-called MP3 players, which only consist of two boards with the electronic components on them and an energy module such as. Accumulator exist. All of these modules are housed in a rigid housing that, for example. can be put in clothes bags.
- MP3 players have the well-known advantage, among other things, that there are no moving parts anymore, but the pieces of music are stored on memory chips.
- Other such electronic devices are, for example. Radios or telecommunications devices, such as pagers or portable telephone devices, the functional structure of which is also very small and can comprise several modules.
- the object of the present invention is to avoid rigid and bulky housings in such electronic devices and to design the devices in such a way that the risk of damage is minimized and manipulation is simplified.
- the housing according to the invention is primarily characterized in that, in the device mentioned at the outset, the front and / or the rear wall contains a preformed protective material layer made of shock-absorbing material. This protects the electronic device against impacts and if it falls out of a pocket.
- the object of the invention is also achieved in that in the above-mentioned device on the outer surface of the front and / or back wall fasteners such as Velcro, push buttons or clips and. Like. Are provided, whose counterparts can be attached to objects or clothing. This prevents the device from falling.
- the device can be integrated into clothing.
- Fig.l shows a longitudinal section through an embodiment of the device according to the invention with its housing according to the invention.
- 2 shows a top view and
- FIG. 3 shows the bottom view.
- 4 shows schematically and pulled apart the different layers of the device according to the invention with its housing according to the invention in one embodiment.
- Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of the device according to the invention with its housing according to the invention.
- 1 to 4 is a recording device for an MP3 player, which comprises two electronic modules 1 and 2 and an energy module 3.
- the modules are connected to one another via lines 4.
- Two buttons are schematically shown as control elements 5, via which the electronic device can be operated.
- the housing according to the invention for this modular electronic device comprises a flexible sleeve which has a rear wall 6 and a front wall 7. Receiving chambers 8 are formed between the front wall and the rear wall in order to accommodate the modules 1 to 3.
- the rear wall 6 consists of a backing layer 9 and a Velcro strip 10.
- the Velcro strip 10 serves to attach the device at any point to a piece of clothing or an object where the corresponding counterpart of the Velcro strip is arranged.
- the front wall consists of a preformed protective substance layer 11, through which the receiving chambers 8 are formed. Between the receiving chambers, the protective substance layer forms bending tabs 12.
- the protective substance has the task of protecting modules 1 to 3 and still giving the device the desired flexibility.
- the Protective material layer can, for example. consist of closed-cell foam or silicone or similar materials.
- the carrier layer 9 can consist, for example, of a fabric tape or a plastic film.
- the rear wall 6 has access openings 13, which are assigned to each receiving chamber and provide the necessary access to the modules below. These access openings make it possible, for example, to plug in headphones, insert the memory chips into the electronic component or replace batteries or plug in a charging cable.
- the openings are preferably covered by the Velcro counterpart on the clothing or by the clothing itself.
- the shape and arrangement of the access openings is only an example and must be adapted to the respective requirements. It can also be advantageous to arrange access openings on one of the side edges 17.
- the protective material layer 11 is provided with a surface layer 14 made of textile fabric, plastic film or leather and the like on the outside. covered to cover the device to the outside.
- This layer 14 can, for example. also have corresponding imprints for the operating elements 5 and is preferably water-repellent.
- the layer 14 can also have a corresponding decorative print.
- the figure also shows a membrane keyboard 15 for forming the operating elements 5, which is inserted into a receiving chamber between the protective substance layer 11 and module 2.
- the operating elements 5 can be be be pressed.
- the individual layers can e.g. can be connected to one another in a watertight manner by gluing or sewing, an adhesive or seam edge 16 being helpful. If plastic materials are used, thermal welding can also be used.
- the outline of the housing is freely selectable and can be adapted to the clothing.
- the number of combing chambers must be adapted to the number of modules in the device.
- the receiving chambers can also be formed by the carrier layer, the protective substance layer sealing the receiving chambers from the outside.
- the invention also includes a music recording and / or playback device, such as an MP3 player or radio, or a telecommunications device, such as a portable telephone or pager, the modules of which are accommodated in a recording device according to the invention.
- a music recording and / or playback device such as an MP3 player or radio
- a telecommunications device such as a portable telephone or pager
- a receiving chamber 8a for the energy module 18 is preferably arranged in one piece on the rear wall 6, the interior 19 of which is sealed off from the space 20 between the rear and front walls (6, 7), in which space (20) the circuit board (22) of the electronic music recording and / or reproducing device or of the communication device is provided.
- the circuit board 22 is attached to the surface of the receiving chamber 8a and to a support 26 attached to the rear wall 6.
- the cover 23 of the access opening 13 of the absorption chamber 8a for the energy module 18 has ventilation openings 25 which are covered by a valve layer 24 which allows gas exchange to the environment, but prevents liquid exchange. Since both the front wall 7 and the rear wall 6 are made of waterproof material and are connected to one another in a watertight manner, for example by means of a suitable adhesive bond and a seam, the device shown is waterproof and washable.
- a flap 21 is glued and sewn on one edge between the front wall 7 and the rear wall 6. With the help of the tab 21, the device is easy to handle. In particular, the tab 21 allows the device to be easily detached from its attachment with a Velcro fastener 10.
