Abstract

A device for tidying the cables and eliminating the knotting or tangling problem of a hands-free set of a mobile telephone or the earpiece of mobile audio devices, whereby at least one sphere (D,F) and one cube (E) both made of magnetic materials are attached to said cable (G). The cube (E) comprises several concave insertions fitting said spheres (D,F) in order to keep said cable (G) folded ensuring their tidy disposition when said earpiece or hands-free set are not in use.

Description

DEVICE FOR TIDYING THE CABLES OF AN EARPIECE OR A HANDS-FREE SET
DESCRIPTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention, in general relates to eliminating the problem of loose ends entanglement of item(s) material(s) and/or products of considerable length via adding certain fasteners at various point(s) over the length of such item(s) and then docking these fasteners to a central docking station(s) that easily reciprocates and accepts the temporary and firm attachment of these fasteners thus creating a single, double or multiple folding effect. The undocking process is easily achieved when such items or products are needed again at their full length. At the present time the invention is designed and geared towards the use with the hands free mobile phone and mobile stereo earpiece system.
2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The NO-KNOTS system is designed as a universal conversion kit for the existing mobile phone and mobile stereo earpiece. The system comprises of two sphere shaped like fasteners, a cube shaped docking station and a 3d rectangular shaped car docking station. The spheres are designed with a small cut along the side of the sphere to allow for the insertion of the earpiece wire. A small bump is built inside the cut to allow for the firm fixation of the earpiece wire right at the center of the sphere. The first sphere is installed by the user right before the ear speaker segment of the earpiece by forcing the earpiece wire into the side cut of the sphere. The second sphere is installed in the same manner at the mid length point of the entire length of the earpiece wire. Both spheres are made of magnetic materials to allow for easy docking and undocking into the concaves of the cube shaped docking station. Please see Fig. 4.
The docking station is shaped like a cube with four concaves on the four faces of the cube. The concave are slightly larger in diameter than the spheres diameter and with a depth equals half the sphere. The concaves act as a secure resting place for the spheres where half of the sphere fills the full body of the conoave. The docking station has a cut on the side with a built-in bump to allow for the insertion and the firm fixation of the earpiece wire. The docking station is installed by the user right at the other end of the earpiece very near to the telephone connection plug. The docking station is made of light weight magnet attracting materials to allow for the docking of the magnetic sρhere(s) inside the concaves. Please see Fig. 5. The car docking station is shaped like a 3d rectangular with one concave on the upper face and a peel and stick back side. The user will peel the back side and attach it to the dashboard of the car at a convenient location. Once the car docking station is installed, the user will attach the earpiece to the mobile phone and place the phone near the dashboard. At the same time the user will dock the first sphere (installed near the ear speaker segment) to the concave of the car docking station. When the phone rings the user will easily and readily undock the earpiece from the car docking station to continue answering the call. Once the user is finished with the call he or she will re-dock the earpiece on the car docking station for future use. Please see Fig. 6
When not in the car, the user can attach the first sphere to one of the concaves of the main docking station to achieve a single fold, and if desired the user can attach the second sphere to one of the other 3 available concaves of the main docking station to achieve a double folding effect. When the single and/or double docking process is completed, the user would have eliminated the prevalent, annoying and could be hazardous (if driving) problem of the loose wire-end(s) becoming entangled. Please see fig 1, 2 & 3
If the earpiece is in the single fold and/or double fold position, the user will easily and readily undock the spheres from the docking station with a slight pull to achieve full length and use the earpiece as normally done.
The full system as described above can be added to the earpiece during the manufacturing process (i.e. OEM/Built-in) at which case the end-user will purchase the earpiece with the NO-KNOTS system built-in and ready for use.
Thus, it is shown and described above a unique design and concept of a NO- KNOTS and TANGLE-FREE process and apparatus. While the above description is directed to several embodiments, it is understood that those skilled in the art may conceive modifications and/or variations to the specific embodiments shown and described herein. Any such modifications or variations which fall within the purview of this description are intended to be included therein as well. It is understood that the description herein is intended to be illustrative only and is not intended to be limitative. Rather, the scope of the invention described herein is limited only by the claims appended hereto.

Claims

CLAIMSWHAT IS CLAIMED IS:
1. A folding and fastening process and apparatus for the hands free mobile phone or mobile stereo earpiece and other possible applications comprising of various sphere shaped magnets, along with a cube shaped docking station and a 3 d- rectangular shaped car docking station. Both docking stations are made of lightweight magnet attracting materials with concave(s) that are slightly larger in size than the magnetic spheres with half the depth.
2. Trial and error and real life testing has confirmed that the entanglement of the earpiece is due to the fact that the earpiece (when not in use) is kept at full length by the user with one or both ends loose, thus leading to the frequent, annoying and possibly hazardous (if driving) entanglement and knotting of the earpiece
3. The system described in claim 1 is used to create a single and double folding effect of both ends of the earpiece thus eliminating the problem of the earpiece being kept at full length (when not in use) leading to the wire-ends becoming entangled.
4. The magnetic and magnetic attracting materials used to construct the spheres and the docking stations respectively, provide for easy docking of the sphere(s) into the docking station concave(s), while at the same time allowing for easy undocking of the sphere(s) with a slight pull when the user is ready to answer the phone and requires the full length of the earpiece.
5. The system described in claim 1 can be manufactured as a universal conversion kit for existing earpieces and/or it can be added to the earpiece during the manufacturing process (i.e. OEM/built-in).
6. The system described in claim 1, and when manufactured as a universal conversion kit; both the sphere(s) and the cube shaped docking station are to have a small side cut and a small bump built inside the side cut to allow for the tight insertion and the firm fixation of the earpiece wire(s) at the center of both the spheres and the docking station.
7. The system described in claim 1 could achieve the same results of the folding process even if other methods and/or materials are used to attach and fold the ends of the earpiece wires. However the magnetic sphere and the cube docking station offer the easiest and most convenient and desirable method for a quick and convenient frequent docking and undocking action.
8. The process of a single, double and multiple folding and then docking via fastener (s) and docking station(s) like apparatus can be applied to any other product(s) and/or material(s) of considerable length to eliminate the prevalent problem of loose ends entanglement inherent in such material(s) and/or products, (for example, sheep casings)
