PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION
[0004] In the conventional headphone, which includes a member (side pressure supplying member)
supplying a side pressure pressing a sound emitting part to the ears of a user, the
supplied side pressure is varied in accordance with the head shape of a user and the
adhesive property between the sound emitting part and the ear of the user is varied,
and thus there is a possibility that the sound emitting part cannot preferably seal
the ear of the user. If the sound emitting part cannot have tight contact with the
ear of a user, the sound emitted from the sound emitting part leaks to the outside,
causing the surrounding people to have unpleasant feelings, while the ambient noise
enters the ears of the user, thereby preventing the user from comfortably listening
to the sound emitted from the sound emitting part.
[0005] In response to the aforementioned problem, the side pressure supplying member can
be replaced with another one, which can supply a proper pressure in accordance with
the head shape of a user. However, since a cumbersome replacement operation is required,
a headphone capable of providing easy attachment and removal of the side pressure
supplying member has been desired.

part 11.
[0012] In the headphone 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the headband
unit 12 includes at least one side pressure supplying member. In the example shown
in the drawing, the headband unit 12, which has both end parts supporting a pair of
sound emitting parts 10, 10, includes a first side pressure supplying member 13, a
second side pressure supplying member 14 and a positioning band 15. The first and
the second side pressure supplying members 13, 14 are elastic members including curved

a pair of sound emitting parts 10, 10 to a counterpart attachment position. With the
positioning band 15 placed on the head of a user, the sound emitting parts 10, 10
are positioned with respect to the ears of the user.
[0013] Both end parts of the headband unit 12 (the first and the second side pressure supplying
members 13, 14 and the positioning band 15) are connected with a pair of the supporting
arm parts 11, 11 via the connecting parts 16. In the example shown in the drawing,
the positioning band 15 and the second side pressure supplying member14 are attached
to the connecting part 16. In the first side pressure supplying member 13, the end
part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member 13 is attached to the connecting
part 16. The end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member 13 is removably
attached to the connecting part 16.
[0014] The connecting part 16 of the headphone 1 is described in detail with reference to
Figs. 2 to 4. Fig. 2 is a view illustrating the connecting part 16 of the headphone
1. Fig. 2(a) is an external view and Fig. 2(b) is a view illustrating the inside of
the headphone. Fig. 3 is a view illustrating the removable part 20 in the connecting
part 16 of the headphone 1. Fig. 4 is an exploded view of the removable part 20 in
the connecting part 16.
[0015] In the example shown in the drawing, the end part 15A of the positioning band 15
is attached to the second side pressure supplying member 14 via an attaching member
17 configured with a screw 17A, an attachment pat 17B and a counter attachment pat
17C. The attaching member 17 is attached to the second side pressure supplying member
14 such that the position of the positioning band can be changed with respect to the
second side pressure supplying member 14. More specifically, the second side pressure
supplying member 14 passes through the hole part of the attaching member 17. Further,
the attaching member 17 is arranged at a prescribed position along the second side
pressure supplying member 14. Thereby, with the attaching member 17 arranged at the
prescribed position of the second side pressure supplying member 14, the positioning
headband 15 can be arranged in accordance with user preferences. A plurality of protruding
parts 14A are provided spaced-apart a predetermined interval on a face of the second
side pressure supplying member 14, defining the positions of the attaching member
17(see Fig. 5). The attaching member 17 is arranged at the position in relation to
this protruding part 14A and the positioning band 15 is positioned so as to correspond
with the ears of a user.
[0016] Further, the end part of the second side pressure supplying member 14 is attached
to the connecting part 16, and the second side pressure supplying member 14 is fixed
to the connecting part 16. In response to a change in position of the positioning
headband 15 with respect to the second side pressure supplying member 14, a position
of the pair of the sound emitting parts 10 is changed with respect to the ears of
a user. Further, a side pressure to the ears of a user may be changed at the same
time.
[0017] The connecting part 16 includes an inserting hole part 16B into which the end part
13A of the first side pressure supplying member 13 is inserted. Further, the connecting
part 16 includes a tubular shape part 16C configuring the inserting hole part 16B.
The tubular shape part 16C has a face opposing the end part 13A of the first side
pressure supplying member 13. With the end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying
member 13 inserted into the inserting hole part16B of the connecting part 16, the
end part 13A is removably fixed to the connecting part 16. When the end part 13A of
the first side pressure supplying member 13 is attached to the connecting part 16,
the end part 13A may have contact with the face of the tubular shape part 16C.
[0018] The connecting part 16 includes a removable part 20, which allows the side pressure
supplying member to be inserted into or removed from the connecting part 16. In the
example shown in the drawing, the connecting part 16 is provided with the removable
part 20, which allows the end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member
13 to be inserted into or removed from the connecting part 16 when a cover 16F of
the connecting part 16 is removed. The removable part 20 includes an engaging member
21 and a releasing member 22. The engaging member 21 is engaged with a part of the
first side pressure supplying member 13 that is connected with the connecting part
16 and a releasing member 22 releases the engagement between the engaging member 21
and the part of the first side pressure supplying member 13.
[0019] The releasing member 22 is provided displaceable against the connecting part 16.
Also, a part of the engaging member 21 is attached to one end part of the releasing
member 22. And, the engaging member 21 and the first side pressure supplying member
13 are spaced apart each other due to the displacement of the releasing member 22
against the connecting part16. More specifically, the releasing member 22 is displaced
against the connecting part 16, thereby the engaging member 21 is elastically deformed
and is moved away from the end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member
13 in response to this elastic deformation of the engaging member 21, and thus the
engagement between the engaging member 21 and the end part 13A of the first side pressure
supplying member 13 is released.
[0020] Hereinafter, the removable part 20 is described in more detail. As shown in Fig.
4, the engaging member 21 includes a first part 21A fixed to the inside of the connecting
part 16, and a second part 21B that is displaced against the first part 21A around
the end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member13, which is inserted
into the inside of the connecting part 16. More specifically, the engaging member
21 is configured with a plate-shaped elastic member and includes a bending part 21C
between the first part 21A and the second part 21B along the axis direction of the
end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member13. The first part 21A and
the second part 21B are substantially bent or folded at this bending part 21C such
that the second part 21B is displaced against the first part 21A. The second part
21B is displaced in the axis direction of the releasing member 22.
[0021] As shown in the drawing, the first part 21A of the engaging member 21 includes an
attaching hole 21E, and an attaching member (screw) 18 inserted into the attaching
hole is attached to an attaching counterpart 16E of the connecting part 16 such that
the first part 21A is fixed to the inside of the connecting part 16. On the other
hand, the second part 21B of the engaging member 21 is attached to a first flange
part 22A provided at the end part of the releasing member 22 by an attaching member
22E.
[0022] The second part 21B of the engaging member 21 includes an engaging part 21B1, which
is engaged with an engaging counterpart 13A1, which is arranged inside the connecting
part 16. A part of the first side pressure supplying member 13 has the engaging counterpart
13A1. The engaging counterpart 13A1 is provided at the end part 13A of the first side
pressure supplying member 13.
[0023] The engaging counterpart (recessed part) 13A1 provided at the end part13A of the
first side pressure supplying member 13 includes a recessed cross-sectional shape
toward the inside of the end part 13A. In contrast, the engaging part 21B1 of the
engaging member 21 includes a cross-sectional shape, which is folded from the second
part 21B in the axis direction of the end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying
member 13 to the axis direction of the releasing member 22.
[0024] The releasing member 22 includes one end part arranged inside the connecting part
16 and the other end part arranged outside the connecting part 16, and the one end
part of the releasing member 22 is connected with the second part 21B of the engaging
member 21. And, the releasing member 22 includes a first flange part 22A connected
with the second part 21B of the engaging member 21, a second flange part 22B opposite
the inner side face of the connecting part 16, and a release-operating part 22C arranged
outside the connecting part 16. A release-operating part 22C passes through the inside
of the hole part 16A of the connecting part 16 and projects to the outside. Further,
the outer diameter of the second flange part 22B is larger than the inner diameter
of the hole part 16A. Thereby, the second flange part 22B functions as retaining that
allows the release-operating part 22C to project outside the connecting part 16 by
a predetermined length.
[0025] The releasing member 22 includes a pole part 22D between the first flange part 22A
and the second flange part 22B, and the pole part 22D has a face opposing the end
part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member 13, which is provided on the
side of the connecting part 16. When the end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying
member 13 is inserted into the inserting hole part 16B of the connecting part 16,
the tip of the end part 13A has contact with the face of the pole part 22D of the
releasing member 22, thus the length of the end part 13A inserted into the connecting
part 16 is defined. Further, as shown in Fig. 4, when the tip of the end part 13A
has contact with the pole part 22D, the engaging part 21B1 of the engaging member
21 is engaged with the engaging counterpart 13A1 of the end part 13A. Further, when
the end part 13A is attached to the connecting part 16, the end part 13A may have
contact with the pole part 22D or a given interval may be provided between the end
part 13A and the pole part 22D.
[0026] The end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member 13 includes an inclined
face 13A2. This inclined face 13A2 is configured such that the outer diameter of the
end part 13A is decreased from the engaging counterpart 13A1 to the tip of the end
part 13A. On the other hand, the second flange part 22B has an inclined face 22B1
opposite the inclined face 13A2 provided at the end part 13A of the first side pressure
supplying member 13. This inclined face 22B1 is configured to have contact with the
inclined face 13A2. For example, the inclined face 22B1 has a face along the inclined
face 13A2.
[0027] The inside of the connecting part 16 has a space that allows the engaging member
21 and the releasing member 22 to be displaced. When the release-operating part 22C
of the releasing member 22 is pressed, a part of the releasing member 22 is displaced
in the space inside the connecting part 16. In response to the displacement of the
part of the releasing member 22, the second part 21B of the engaging member 21 attached
to the first flange part 22A of the releasing member 22 is displaced against the first
part 21A. In response to the displacement of the second part 21B, the engagement between
the engaging part 21B1 of the engaging member 21 and the engaging counterpart 13A1
provided at the end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member 13 is released.
Further, the engagement between the engaging part 21B1 and the engaging counterpart
13A1 is released, while the displacement of the releasing member 22 in the direction
from the second flange part 22B to the first flange part 22A causes the end part 13A
of the first side pressure supplying member 13 to be displaced in the direction from
the inside to the outside of the connecting part 16. That is, the displacement of
the releasing member 22 causes the inclined face 22B1 provided at the second flange
part 22B of the releasing member 22 to have contact with the inclined face 13A2 provided
at the end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member 13, and the contact
between the inclined face 22B1 and the inclined face 13A2 and the displacement of
the releasing member 22 causes the end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying
member 13 to be pushed toward the outside of the connecting part 16.
[0028] The headphone 1 may have a plurality of different first side pressure supplying members
13. As plurality of the first side pressure supplying members 13, for example, the
cross-sectional shape for one of the first side pressure supplying members 13 may
have an outer diameter larger than that for another one of the first side pressure
supplying members 13. In this example, the outer shapes (curving diameters) of the
first side pressure supplying members 13 may be substantially equal to each other,
or the outer shapes (curving diameters) of the plurality of the first side pressure
supplying members 13 may be changed to be different from each other. With the cross-sectional
shapes or the outer shapes of the first side pressure supplying members configured
to be different each other, the bending rigidities of the first side pressure supplying
members 13 are different each other, thereby the side pressures of the plurality of
the first side pressure supplying members 13 can be altered. Further, as described
above, the positions of a pair of the sound emitting parts 10 with respect to the
ears of a user is changed in accordance with the position change of the positioning
headband with respect to the second side pressure supplying member 14. In this case,
a side pressure can be adjusted by attaching the first side pressure supplying member
13 that is suited to the user to the connecting part 16, even if the side pressure
of the sound emitting parts 10 for ears of the user is changed.
[0029] According to the headphone 1 as configured above, the end part 13A of the first side
pressure supplying member 13 is inserted into the inserting hole part 16B of the connecting
part 16, and thereby the engaging part 21B1 of the engaging member 21 is engaged with
the engaging counterpart 13 A1 of the end part 13A. When replacing a first side pressure
supplying member 13 with the one, which is selected from a plurality of the first
side pressure supplying members 13 so as to supply a preferable side pressure for
the user, the end part 13A of the first side pressure supplying member 13 can be easily
removed from the connecting part 16 by pressing the release-operating part 22C of
the releasing member 22.
[0030] As such, the adhesive property between the sound emitting part 10 and the ears of
a user can be preferably improved by selecting a first side pressure supplying member
13, which is suited to the user. Also, the cumbersome replacement operation of the
first side pressure supplying member 13 can be resolved by the easy attachment and
removal of the first side pressure supplying member 13.
[0031] The headphone 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the
aforementioned removable part of the first side pressure supplying member 13 as well
as a vibration preventing part, which prevents the vibration of the speaker unit from
being transmitted to the headband part 12. Figs. 5 and 6 are views illustrating the
vibration preventing part of the headphone according to the embodiment of the present
invention.
[0032] In the headphone 1, the headband part 12, the supporting arm part 11, and the housing
10A of the sound emitting part 10 are configured with a metal member. And, the supporting
arm part 11 is attached to the housing 10A via a first resin member 3. Further, the
sound emitting part 10 includes the housing 10A, the speaker unit 2 attached to the
housing 10A, and a covering member 10B that covers the speaker unit 2, and the covering
member 10B arranged in the opposite side of the sound emission side of the speaker
unit 2 and the speaker unit 2 are attached to each other via a second resin member
4. The covering member 10B may be configured with a metal member having a plurality
of hole parts.
[0033] Both end parts of the supporting arm part 11 is connected with housing 10A via an
attaching member 19 having a pole part and a flange part. The attaching member 19
may be fixed to the supporting arm part 11. If the supporting arm part 11 is fixed
to the attaching member19, the supporting arm part 11 is rotatably connected with
the sound emitting part 10 via a rod-shaped member inserted into the hole part of
the attachment member 19 and arranged inside the housing 10A. The attaching member
19 and the rod-shaped member are configured with a metal member. Also, the housing
10A includes an attaching hole 10A1 in which the attaching member 19 is arranged.
The first resin member 3 is provided so as to cover the periphery of this attaching
member 19. The first resin member 3 has a hole into which the attaching member 19
is inserted. The attaching member 19 is inserted into the hole of this first resin
member 3 and the first resin member 3 is placed between the supporting arm part 11
and the housing 10A, and thereby the vibration transmitted from the speaker unit 2
to the supporting arm part 11 can be reduced by the first resin member 3. That is,
the vibration generated by the speaker unit 2 can be prevented from being transmitted
to the supporting arm part 11.
[0034] Further, the covering member 10B is attached to the backside of the speaker unit
2 (opposite to sound emission side) via a spacer 10D, and a second resin member 4
is fitted in the attaching counterpart 2A arranged on the backside of the speaker
unit 2 (opposite side with respect to sound emission side), and the spacer 10D and
the covering member10B are attached via this second resin member 4. Thereby, the vibration
transmitted from the speaker unit 2 to the covering member 10B can be reduced by the
second resin member 4. That is, the vibration generated by the speaker unit 2 can
be prevented from being transmitted to the covering member 10B.
[0035] The headphone 1 including such vibration preventing part can suppress the trouble
of noise caused by the vibration, which is generated by the speaker unit 2 and transmitted
to the sound emitting part 10 or the metal member of the headband part 12. Also, the
headphone 1 can suppress the trouble of the vibration, which is generated by the speaker
unit 2 and transmitted to the user via the sound emitting part 10 or the headband
part 12.
[0036] As disclosed above, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail
with reference to the drawings, however, a specific configuration is not limited to
these embodiments, and any modifications or alterations to design without departing
from the subject matter of the present invention are included within the scope of
the present invention. In the embodiments shown in the above drawings, each description
can be combined unless particular contradictions or problems occur in the object,
the configuration, etc. Also, the description of each drawing can be independent embodiment
respectively, and the embodiment of the present invention should not be limited to
one embodiment combining each drawing.
