When the adjustment member 53 is pulled out from the headband 52, the signal cable 54 extends as shown in FIG.
ヘッドホン装置5において、一旦引き出された調整部材53がヘッドバンド52の内部に再度挿入されるときには、信号ケーブル54の状態は、図6に示されているように折り畳まれた状態となることが望ましい。しかしながら、このヘッドホン装置5では、信号ケーブル54において、固定部52cから調整部材53までの間で自由に動き回ることができる部分の長さが、上記の余裕を見込んで長くなっている。そして、調整部材53の出し入れ時におけるこの自由な部分の形状は、調整部材53による被保持部分が調整部材53で押し引きされるときの信号ケーブル54の自由な移動と変形に任されている。このため、調整部材53の挿入の際に、信号ケーブル54が次のような状態となることがある。
In the headphone device 5, when the adjustment member 53 once pulled out is inserted again into the headband 52, it is desirable that the state of the signal cable 54 be folded as shown in FIG. 6. . However, in the headphone device 5, the length of the portion of the signal cable 54 that can freely move between the fixing portion 52 c and the adjusting member 53 is long in consideration of the above margin. The shape of the free portion when the adjustment member 53 is taken in and out is left to the free movement and deformation of the signal cable 54 when the held portion by the adjustment member 53 is pushed and pulled by the adjustment member 53. For this reason, when the adjustment member 53 is inserted, the signal cable 54 may be in the following state.
図8は、一旦引き出された調整部材がヘッドバンドの内部に再度挿入されるときに、信号ケーブルに起こり得る状態を示す図である。この図8に示されているように、調整部材53がヘッドバンド52の内部に挿入される際に、信号ケーブル54が固定部52c側へと入っていかず、調整部材53の挿入方向先端の近傍で縺れてしまうことがある。このような縺れの原因としては、例えば調整部材53出し入れ時のクリック感のための溝52bに信号ケーブル54が引っ掛かること等が挙げられる。ヘッドバンドの中には、このような溝が設けられていないものもあるが、そのようなヘッドバンドにあっても、例えばヘッドバンドの内面と信号ケーブルとの摩擦等に起因して上記のような縺れが生じることがある。
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a state that can occur in the signal cable when the adjustment member once pulled out is inserted into the headband again. As shown in FIG. 8, when the adjustment member 53 is inserted into the headband 52, the signal cable 54 does not enter the fixing portion 52c, and the vicinity of the front end of the adjustment member 53 in the insertion direction. May be drowning. As a cause of such twisting, for example, the signal cable 54 may be caught in the groove 52b for a click feeling when the adjustment member 53 is put in and out. Some headbands are not provided with such grooves, but even in such headbands, for example, due to friction between the inner surface of the headband and the signal cable, as described above. May be drowning.
そして、図8に示されているような縺れが生じた状態で調整部材53がヘッドバンド52の内部にさらに挿入されると、信号ケーブル54が、調整部材53と摺擦面52aとの間に挟まってしまい、場合によっては信号ケーブル54が断線することがある。このような事態に至ると、それ以降の調整部材53の出し入れのスムーズさが損なわれ、場合によっては信号ケーブル54が断線する恐れがある。このように、放音部51の調整部材53とともに信号ケーブル54が出し入れされるタイプのヘッドホン装置5では、信号ケーブル54の縺れによって調整部材53の出し入れのスムーズさが損なわれ、場合によっては信号ケーブル54が断線する恐れがあるという問題が一例として挙げられる。
Then, when the adjustment member 53 is further inserted into the headband 52 in a state where the twist as shown in FIG. 8 occurs, the signal cable 54 is interposed between the adjustment member 53 and the rubbing surface 52a. The signal cable 54 may be disconnected in some cases. When such a situation occurs, the smoothness of the adjustment member 53 thereafter is impaired, and the signal cable 54 may be disconnected in some cases. As described above, in the headphone device 5 in which the signal cable 54 is taken in and out together with the adjustment member 53 of the sound emitting unit 51, the smoothness of the adjustment member 53 is impaired due to the twisting of the signal cable 54. An example is the problem that 54 may break.
そこで、本発明は、放音部の調整部材をヘッドバンド内部に出し入れする際の、ヘッドバンド内部での信号ケーブルの縺れが抑制されるヘッドホン装置を提供することを課題とする。
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a headphone device that can prevent the signal cable from twisting inside the headband when the adjustment member of the sound emitting unit is taken in and out of the headband.

本発明の第1実施例にかかるヘッドホン装置1を図1~図4を参照して説明する。
A headphone device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
図1は、第1実施例にかかるヘッドホン装置を示す斜視図である。この図1に示すように、ヘッドホン装置1は、各々が耳当て状となった左右一対の放音部11,12を湾曲形状のヘッドバンド13で連結したいわゆるヘッドホンである。そして、一対の放音部11,12のうち、図1における右側の放音部12に、外部ケーブル14が接続されている。右側の放音部12には、この外部ケーブル14を介して音声信号が入力される。一対の放音部11,12は、ヘッドバンド13の内部を通された後述の信号ケーブルによって電気的に接続されている。そして、右側の放音部12から、この信号ケーブルを介して、左側の放音部11に音声信号が供給される。また、このヘッドホン装置1では、ユーザの耳に各放音部11,12の位置を合わせるために、各放音部11,12が、次のような調整部材を介してヘッドバンド13に取り付けられている。各放音部11,12の取付構造は同等であるので、以下、この取付構造について、図1における左側の放音部11の取付構造を例に挙げて説明を行う。
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a headphone device according to a first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the headphone device 1 is a so-called headphone in which a pair of left and right sound emitting portions 11 and 12 each having an ear pad shape are connected by a curved headband 13. The external cable 14 is connected to the right sound emitting portion 12 in FIG. 1 of the pair of sound emitting portions 11 and 12. An audio signal is input to the right sound emitting unit 12 via the external cable 14. The pair of sound emitting units 11 and 12 are electrically connected by a signal cable, which will be described later, passed through the inside of the headband 13. Then, an audio signal is supplied from the right sound emitting unit 12 to the left sound emitting unit 11 via the signal cable. Moreover, in this headphone apparatus 1, in order to align the position of each sound emission part 11 and 12 with a user's ear, each sound emission part 11 and 12 is attached to the headband 13 via the following adjustment members. ing. Since the mounting structures of the sound emitting portions 11 and 12 are the same, the mounting structure will be described below by taking the mounting structure of the left sound emitting portion 11 in FIG. 1 as an example.
図2は、図1における左側の放音部のヘッドバンドへの取付構造を示す図である。この図2に示されているように、ヘッドホン装置1が次のような調整部材14を備えている。調整部材14は、帯状の板部材であり、その長手方向に、湾曲形状のヘッドバンド13と略同じ曲率で湾曲している。調整部材14は、ヘッドバンド13の内部にその一部が挿入され、矢印D1方向に出し入れ自在となっている。放音部11は、この調整部材14の一端に取り付けられ、調整部材14は、その他端からヘッドバンド13の内部に挿入されている。この調整部材14の出し入れにより、放音部11の位置が調整されることとなる。図2には、調整部材14がヘッドバンド13の内部に最も奥まで挿入された状態が示されている。
FIG. 2 is a view showing a structure for attaching the sound emitting unit on the left side in FIG. 1 to the headband. As shown in FIG. 2, the headphone device 1 includes the following adjustment member 14. The adjustment member 14 is a belt-like plate member, and is curved in the longitudinal direction thereof with substantially the same curvature as the curved headband 13. A part of the adjustment member 14 is inserted into the headband 13 and can be inserted and removed in the direction of the arrow D1. The sound emitting unit 11 is attached to one end of the adjustment member 14, and the adjustment member 14 is inserted into the headband 13 from the other end. The position of the sound emitting unit 11 is adjusted by inserting and removing the adjusting member 14. FIG. 2 shows a state where the adjustment member 14 is inserted into the headband 13 as far as possible.
ヘッドバンド13の内部には、信号ケーブル15が通っており、この信号ケーブル15をヘッドバンド13に固定する固定部13aがヘッドバンド13の内部に設けられている。固定部は調整部材よりもヘッドバンドの頂部の近くに位置する。尚、図2に示されている左側の放音部11の取付構造にあっては、信号ケーブル15は、右側の放音部12から来て、末端の放音部11に音声信号を送るケーブルとなっている。一方、右側の放音部12の不図示の取付構造にあっては、信号ケーブル15は、左側の放音部11に音声信号を供給するケーブルとなっている。固定部13aは、ヘッドバンド13の内面から突出した2つの突起からなり、それらの突起間に信号ケーブル15を挟んで係止する。
A signal cable 15 passes through the headband 13, and a fixing portion 13 a for fixing the signal cable 15 to the headband 13 is provided inside the headband 13. The fixing portion is located closer to the top of the headband than the adjustment member. In the attachment structure of the left sound emitting section 11 shown in FIG. 2, the signal cable 15 comes from the right sound emitting section 12 and sends a sound signal to the end sound emitting section 11. It has become. On the other hand, in the mounting structure (not shown) of the right sound emitting unit 12, the signal cable 15 is a cable that supplies an audio signal to the left sound emitting unit 11. The fixing portion 13a includes two protrusions protruding from the inner surface of the headband 13, and the signal cable 15 is sandwiched between the protrusions to be locked.
そして、調整部材14における、ヘッドバンド13への挿入方向先端には、信号ケーブル15を保持する保持部材16が固定されている。保持部材16は、調整部材14よりも幅が狭く厚みが薄い帯状の板部材であり、調整部材14の挿入方向先端から湾曲形状のヘッドバンド13の頂部に向かって延びている。また、保持部材16は、ヘッドバンド13と略同じ曲率で湾曲している。そして、その先端近傍の表面上に、信号ケーブル15を保持する保持部17が形成されている。保持部17は、保持部材16の表面から突出した2つの係止爪からなり、両者間に信号ケーブル15を挟んで保持する。
A holding member 16 that holds the signal cable 15 is fixed to the adjustment member 14 at the distal end in the insertion direction to the headband 13. The holding member 16 is a belt-like plate member that is narrower and thinner than the adjustment member 14, and extends from the distal end of the adjustment member 14 in the insertion direction toward the top of the curved headband 13. The holding member 16 is curved with substantially the same curvature as the headband 13. A holding portion 17 that holds the signal cable 15 is formed on the surface near the tip. The holding portion 17 includes two locking claws protruding from the surface of the holding member 16 and holds the signal cable 15 between them.
保持部材16は、調整部材14が矢印D1方向に出し入れされると、固定部13aの横を通って、この調整部材14と一緒に矢印D1方向に移動する。図2に示されているように調整部材14が挿入されると、保持部材16において保持部17が形成されている先端部が、固定部13aの横を通って、固定部13aよりもヘッドバンド13の頂部に近い位置に達する。つまり、調整部材14が挿入された状態では、保持部17は、固定部13aよりもヘッドバンド13の頂部に近い位置に達する。これにより、信号ケーブル15における保持部17による被保持部分がこの位置まで運ばれ、信号ケーブル15は、この被保持部分の先で固定部13aに向かって折り畳まれることとなる。
The holding member 16 moves along with the adjustment member 14 in the direction of the arrow D1 through the side of the fixing portion 13a when the adjustment member 14 is taken in and out in the direction of the arrow D1. When the adjustment member 14 is inserted as shown in FIG. 2, the tip end portion of the holding member 16 where the holding portion 17 is formed passes through the side of the fixing portion 13a and is more headband than the fixing portion 13a. A position close to the top of 13 is reached. That is, in a state where the adjustment member 14 is inserted, the holding portion 17 reaches a position closer to the top portion of the headband 13 than the fixing portion 13a. Thereby, the held portion of the signal cable 15 by the holding portion 17 is carried to this position, and the signal cable 15 is folded toward the fixed portion 13a at the tip of the held portion.
また、調整部材14がヘッドバンド13から引き出されると、保持部材16における上記の先端部が、固定部13aの横を通って、次のような位置まで移動する。
Further, when the adjusting member 14 is pulled out from the headband 13, the above-mentioned tip portion of the holding member 16 moves to the following position through the side of the fixing portion 13a.
図3は、図2に示されているヘッドホン装置において、調整部材がヘッドバンドの内部から引き出された状態を示す図である。この図3に示されているように、保持部17が形成されている先端部が、固定部13aの横を通って、固定部13aよりもヘッドバンド13の頂部から遠い位置に達する。つまり、調整部材14が引き出された状態では、保持部17は、固定部13aよりもヘッドバンド13の頂部から遠い位置に達する。これにより、信号ケーブル15における保持部17による被保持部分がこの位置まで運ばれ、信号ケーブル15は、固定部13aから延ばされる。
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the adjustment member is pulled out from the inside of the headband in the headphone device shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the tip portion where the holding portion 17 is formed passes through the side of the fixing portion 13a and reaches a position farther from the top of the headband 13 than the fixing portion 13a. That is, in the state where the adjustment member 14 is pulled out, the holding portion 17 reaches a position farther from the top of the headband 13 than the fixing portion 13a. As a result, the portion to be held by the holding portion 17 in the signal cable 15 is carried to this position, and the signal cable 15 is extended from the fixing portion 13a.
保持部材16の長さは、調整部材14の挿入時の保持部17の位置が図2示されている位置になり、引出し時の保持部17の位置が図3示されている位置になる長さとなっている。
The length of the holding member 16 is such that the position of the holding portion 17 when the adjustment member 14 is inserted is the position shown in FIG. 2, and the position of the holding portion 17 when pulled out is the position shown in FIG. It has become.
本実施例のヘッドホン装置1では、信号ケーブルの保持部が、常に固定部よりもヘッドバンドの頂部から遠い位置にある図6から図8に示されている保持構造に比べて、固定部13aから保持部17に至る部分の長さが短くなる。また、調整部材14の出し入れ時には、信号ケーブル15の保持部17による被保持部分は、固定部13aよりもヘッドバンド13の頂部から遠い位置と固定部13aよりもヘッドバンド13の頂部に近い位置との間で、保持部17によって運ばれる。このため、信号ケーブル15における、固定部13aから保持部17に至る部分の形状は、その部分の上記のような短さとも相まって、保持部17と固定部13aとの相対的な位置関係によって略規定される。従って、このヘッドホン装置1によれば、上述した従来のヘッドホン装置5のように、調整部材の出し入れ時の信号ケーブルの形状が信号ケーブルの自由な移動と変形に任されている場合と比べて、その出し入れ時の信号ケーブル15の縺れが抑制されることとなる。
In the headphone device 1 of the present embodiment, the holding portion of the signal cable is always fixed from the fixing portion 13a as compared with the holding structure shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, which is located farther from the top of the headband than the fixing portion. The length of the part reaching the holding part 17 is shortened. Further, when the adjustment member 14 is put in and out, the portion to be held by the holding portion 17 of the signal cable 15 is located farther from the top of the headband 13 than the fixed portion 13a, and closer to the top of the headband 13 than the fixed portion 13a. Is carried by the holding part 17. For this reason, the shape of the portion of the signal cable 15 extending from the fixing portion 13a to the holding portion 17 is substantially determined by the relative positional relationship between the holding portion 17 and the fixing portion 13a together with the shortness of the portion as described above. It is prescribed. Therefore, according to the headphone device 1, as in the conventional headphone device 5 described above, the shape of the signal cable when the adjustment member is put in and out is left to the free movement and deformation of the signal cable. The twisting of the signal cable 15 at the time of taking in / out is suppressed.
また、本実施例のヘッドホン装置1では、保持部17が、上記のように長く延びた保持部材16に備えられている。これにより、調整部材14の一端から保持部17に至るまでの区間に亘って信号ケーブル15が保持部材16の表面上に保持された状態で、調整部材14が出し入れされる。その結果、この区間については、信号ケーブル15の縺れの抑制について確実を期することができる。
Further, in the headphone device 1 of the present embodiment, the holding portion 17 is provided on the holding member 16 that extends long as described above. Thereby, the adjustment member 14 is put in and out in a state where the signal cable 15 is held on the surface of the holding member 16 over a section from one end of the adjustment member 14 to the holding portion 17. As a result, for this section, it is possible to ensure the suppression of the twisting of the signal cable 15.
また、本実施例のヘッドホン装置1では、保持部材16が、次のような板形状となっている。
In the headphone device 1 of the present embodiment, the holding member 16 has the following plate shape.
図4は、保持部材の形状を、その長手方向に沿った断面図と、上方から見た平面図とで示す図である。図4(a)に保持部材16の断面図が示され、図4(b)に保持部材16の平面図が示されている。
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the shape of the holding member in a cross-sectional view along the longitudinal direction and a plan view seen from above. FIG. 4A shows a cross-sectional view of the holding member 16, and FIG. 4B shows a plan view of the holding member 16.
図4(a)に示されているように、保持部材16は湾曲形状を有しており、その曲率半径Rは、湾曲状態のヘッドバンド13の曲率半径rと略同じとなっている。これにより、調整部材14が出し入れされる際に、保持部材16がヘッドバンド13の曲率に沿って滑らかに移動でき、調整部材14の出し入れを一層スムーズなものとすることができる。
As shown in FIG. 4A, the holding member 16 has a curved shape, and its radius of curvature R is substantially the same as the radius of curvature r of the headband 13 in the curved state. Thereby, when the adjustment member 14 is taken in and out, the holding member 16 can move smoothly along the curvature of the headband 13, and the adjustment member 14 can be taken in and out more smoothly.
また、本実施例のヘッドホン装置1では、保持部材16の先端近傍に保持部17が設けられている。これにより、図4(a)に示されているように、保持部材16の表面上に信号ケーブル15を保持できる区間を、この保持部材16の略全長とすることができ、縺れの抑制について確実を期することができる区間を長くすることができる。
Further, in the headphone device 1 of the present embodiment, a holding portion 17 is provided near the tip of the holding member 16. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4A, the section in which the signal cable 15 can be held on the surface of the holding member 16 can be made substantially the entire length of the holding member 16, so It is possible to lengthen the section that can be expected.
