Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a headphone device that is worn on a head to listen to sound.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in order to listen to a stereo audio signal reproduced by an audio player as sound, headphones having a pair of ear covers (5) and (5) at both ends of a headband (6) are widely used as shown in FIG. However, there is a drawback that the hair is disturbed by wearing the headphones on the head.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, headphones having a configuration in which an ear cover (7) is attached to a hanger (8) that can be hooked on the ear have been developed. In the headphones, since the headband is omitted, the hair is not disturbed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Incidentally, in recent years, a headphone type audio player (solid-state audio player) having a built-in memory that stores audio data and a sound reproduction circuit that reads out the audio data from the memory and reproduces sound has been developed. This type of headphone audio player is heavier than conventional headphones because the weight of the player main body composed of a memory, a sound reproduction circuit, and the like is added.
[0004]
When the player main body is provided on the headphones having the headband shown in FIG. 4 to constitute a headphone audio player that can be mounted on the head, the weight of the player main body can be supported by the headband (6). Yes, but there is a problem that the hair is disturbed.
On the other hand, in the case where a headphone type audio player that can be mounted on the head is provided by providing the player main body in the headphones having the hanger shown in FIG. 5, the weight of the player main body is added to the ears. The problem that ears hurt by wearing for a long time occurs.
[0005]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a headphone device in which the ear does not hurt even when worn for a long time.
[0008]
[Means for solving the problems]
The headphone device according to the present invention connects a pair of pinching arms (2) and (2) to each other to form a U-shaped neckband (20) that should surround the back of the head. ) (both end portions of 2) passes through the upper ears protrude to the face side of the binaural away from both ears, the protruding from opposite sides clamping should do elastic pressing portions of the head by a portion ( 21) and 21) are configured, and a pair of left and right earphones 3 and 3 are connected to the neckband 20.
[0009]
In the headphone device of the present invention, both ends of the pair of pinching arms (2) and (2) pinch the head from both sides, and the weight of the device is received by the head. There is no. Further, since the band extends from the back of the head over the both ears and terminates in the vicinity of both ears, the hair is not disturbed.
[0010]
In a specific configuration, a player main body portion (1) capable of reproducing an audio signal is provided at a connection portion between the pair of pinching arms (2) and (2). An audio signal is supplied to the earphones (3) and (3).
Thus, a headphone type audio player is configured. Even in this case, since the weight of the device does not act on the ear, there is no possibility that the ear becomes painful.
[0011]
【The invention's effect】
According to the headphone device of the present invention, since the weight of the device does not act on the ear, there is no possibility that the ear hurts even when worn for a long time.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention applied to a headphone type audio player will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the audio player according to the present invention connects a pair of synthetic resin-made sandwiching arms (2) and (2) to each other to form a U-shaped neckband (20) that surrounds the back of the head. In addition, the player body portion (1) is provided at the connecting portion between the pair of pinching arms (2) and (2).
The player main body (1) is provided with an operation button (11) for instructing sound reproduction or the like. In addition, earphones (3) and (3) are projected from both ends of the both sandwiching arms (2) and (2) via support arms (31), respectively.
[0013]
FIG. 2 shows a state in which the audio player is mounted on the head. As shown in the figure, a pair of squeezing arms (2) and (2) surround the occipital region, and both end portions thereof pass above both ears and project to the face side from both ears. The elastic pinching portions (21) and (21) to be pinched are configured.
[0014]
In the audio player of the present invention, the weight of the player main body (1) is supported by the elastic pinching portions (21) and (21) of the pair of pinching arms (2) and (2) pinching the head. Therefore, there is almost no burden on the ear, and the ear does not hurt even when worn for a long time.
Moreover, since the pair of pinching arms (2) and (2) constitutes a neck band (20) surrounding the back of the head, the hair is not disturbed.
[0015]
The audio player shown in FIG. 3 has the above-described neckband (20) accommodated in an annular headband (4) that has elasticity and surrounds the entire head. In addition, an earphone (3) is connected to each of the pair of pinching arms (2) and (2) via a cord (32).
According to the audio player, by mounting the headband (4) on the head, the headband (4) clamps the entire head and supports the weight of the player main body (1). Compared with the audio player shown in FIG. 2, the pinching force by the pinching arms (2) and (2) can be relieved, thereby further reducing the burden on the user.
[0016]
In addition, each part structure of this invention is not restricted to the said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible within the technical scope as described in a claim. For example, the present invention is not limited to an audio player having a player main body, and can also be implemented in conventional headphones.
