Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fixation pour un casque audio (20) de type intra-conque, qui comprend: une structure de support (23) portant une premier élément de fixation (21) qui présente un premier bord (26) destiné à entrer en contact avec l'oreille de l'utilisateur; un deuxième élément de fixation (22) qui présente un deuxième bord (27) destiné à entrer en contact avec l'oreille de l'utilisateur; et un moyen permettant d'ajuster l'espacement séparant le premier et le deuxième bord destinés à entrer en contact avec l'oreille de l'utilisateur afin d'obtenir une mise en contact intra-conque libérable avec l'oreille de l'utilisateur. Ledit moyen permettant d'ajuster l'espacement exerce une contrainte de manière élastique qui amène les bords de mise en contact à être espacés l'un par rapport l'autre, et comprend de préférence un élément ressort (53). De cette manière, on obtient une adaptation automatique à l'oreille ainsi qu'un procédé de fixation du casque à l'oreille plus facile et plus rapide.
