Description

  The present invention relates to a microphone attachment device for attaching a microphone to another object.

  In recent years, for safety reasons, it is forbidden to talk with a mobile phone while driving a vehicle. For this reason, during driving of the vehicle, it is common to listen to the received voice via the earphone and transmit the transmitted voice via the microphone. In addition, for example, in the operation of a car navigation system that favorably supports driving, the input form by voice input is widened so that the driver does not disturb the driving operation by performing a switch operation. Yes. Such voice input is also performed via a microphone in the same manner as the transmission voice of the mobile phone described above. Such a microphone needs to accurately collect voices of a mobile phone transmitter and an operator of a car navigation system. Conventionally, a technique for holding a microphone that collects such sound has been used (for example, Patent Documents 1-3).

  The microphone holder described in Patent Literature 1 includes a first member having a first fitting portion and a first extending portion extending from the first fitting portion, and a second member having a second fitting portion. A connection structure is provided in which the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion are fitted and connected. The first member includes a holding unit for holding the microphone, and the second member includes a mounting assistance unit that performs assistance when mounting the microphone to another object.

  Moreover, the electronic device mounting apparatus described in Patent Document 2 includes a mounting base that holds a microphone, a mounting base that removably supports the mounting base, and a locking portion that protrudes from the lower surface of the mounting base. And a clip having a locking hole to be fitted. When assembling the mounting base to the clip, the locking portion of the mounting base is inserted in alignment with the locking hole of the clip, and the mounting base is rotated 90 degrees and supported.

  Further, the microphone support device described in Patent Document 3 includes a microphone holder that holds a microphone and a clip. The microphone holder is provided with a retainer that holds the microphone at one end, and a spherical body that is rotatably fitted to a screw cage included in the clip at the other end.

Japanese Patent No. 3856766 Japanese Patent No. 3817958 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-58687

  In the microphone holder described in Patent Document 1, the mounting assistance portion of the second member is formed in a substantially U shape, and another object is sandwiched and held in the U shape. Here, when the other object has a U-shape and cannot be clamped, it is necessary to apply the adhesive to the mounting assistance part or attach a double-sided tape to attach the mounting assistance part to the other object. There is. When the microphone holder is mounted in this way, the height of the microphone holder from other objects is conspicuous and lacks compactness.

  Further, in the electronic device mounting apparatus described in Patent Literature 2, when the microphone is rotated to adjust the direction of the microphone, the locking portion may be locked depending on the rotation angle between the locking portion and the locking hole. The microphone could fall out of the hole.

  Further, the microphone supporting device described in Patent Document 3 is supported by an attachment object by being sandwiched between clips, as in Patent Document 1 described above. On the other hand, when the attachment object has a shape that cannot be sandwiched between clips, it is necessary to apply an adhesive to the clip surface or attach a double-sided tape to attach the attachment object to the attachment object. For this reason, the height when mounted is lacking in compactness.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a microphone mounting device that can remove each part as necessary and can appropriately collect sound. There is.

In order to achieve the above object, the microphone mounting device according to the present invention is characterized in that the microphone is disposed inside a hollow in order to attach the microphone to another object, and the tip is spherical in a part of the outer surface. A first member having the formed first fitting portion and the first fitting portion are fitted in a state where the first fitting portion is partially surrounded by sandwiching the surface of the first fitting portion. A second member having a second fitting portion, a slide guide that slides the second member to allow the second member to be attached and detached, and the second member when the second member reaches a deepest slide position. And a third member that holds and supports the other object, and separates the second member from the third member on the back surface of the second member. And attach the back surface of the second member to the other object. When the second member is attached to the third member, the back surface of the second member and the surface of the third member facing the back surface of the second member are spaced from each other. there to have that point have.

With such a characteristic configuration, the first member and the second member are fitted and fitted with the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion, and the second member is attached to the third member by the locking member. The first member, the second member, and the third member can be separated as necessary. In addition, the first member and the second member having the microphone are formed by sandwiching the spherical shaped surface between the first fitting portion having a spherical shape at the tip portion formed on a part of the outer surface of the first member. Since it is fitted by the second fitting portion that is fitted in a state of partially surrounding the shape, the position of the microphone can be freely adjusted. Therefore, since the microphone can be directed in the direction in which the sound is emitted, it is possible to preferably collect the sound. Further, according to this characteristic configuration, the second member fitted to the first member can be separated from the third member, and the microphone mounting device can be held between other objects, and the second member The second member and the third member can be mounted while the bonding member is provided on the back surface of the first member. Therefore, even if another object cannot be clamped by the third member, it is not necessary to prepare a joining member again, and thus the user's hand is not bothered.

When the other object can be clamped by the third member, the second member is attached to the third member and the other object is clamped and attached. but wherein when not possible sandwiched by the third member, it is preferable that the rear surface of the front Stories second member and the other objects are attached are joined by the joining member.

With such a configuration, the microphone attachment device can be separated into the first member, the second member, and the third member. For example, if another object can be sandwiched between the third member, After the second member fitted to one member is fitted to the third member, the microphone mounting device can be held between other objects. On the other hand, when another object cannot be clamped by the third member, the microphone attachment device can be joined to the other object by the joining member. Therefore, when the microphone attachment device is used without sandwiching another object with the third member, the third member is separated and attached to the microphone, so that the microphone can be attached in a compact state.

  Hereinafter, a microphone mounting apparatus 100 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the microphone mounting apparatus 100. FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the microphone attachment device 100. The microphone attachment device 100 is preferably used when attaching the microphone to another object. In particular, the microphone attachment device 100 is preferably used when attaching to a visor of an automobile or attaching to a dashboard. For this reason, in this embodiment, it demonstrates as another object being a visor and dashboard of a motor vehicle.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the microphone attachment device 100 includes a first member 10, a second member 20, and a third member 30. The first member 10 is formed in a hollow shape, and a microphone is disposed inside the hollow. Here, the microphone indicates the sound collection element itself. Therefore, the first member 10 can be a casing in which a microphone is stored, or a casing in which a microphone device in which a microphone is stored is stored.

  When the microphone is disposed inside the hollow of the first member 10, the sound collection surface 12 is formed on the front surface of the first member 10 and the side surface of the first member 10 so that the microphone easily collects sound. The A front sound hole 12 a is formed on the front surface of the first member 10, and a side surface (back surface) sound hole 12 b is formed on the side surface of the first member 10. In addition, a cord drawing port 13 is formed on the rear surface of the first member 10 for drawing a cord 40 that transmits the sound collected by the microphone to another device (not shown). In addition, as another apparatus to which sound is transmitted, for example, a mobile phone, a car navigation system, an acoustic device, or the like can be used. In these devices, it is possible to transmit a voice signal related to transmission if it is a mobile phone, and to transmit a switch operation signal by voice if it is a car navigation system or an acoustic device.

  Moreover, the 1st member 10 has the 1st fitting part 11 by which the front-end | tip part was formed in the spherical shape in a part of outer surface. The outer surface is the outer surface of the first member 10 formed in a hollow shape. In particular, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outer surface of the side surface portion of the first member 10 in which the side surface (rear surface) sound hole 12 b and the cord drawing port 13 are not formed is suitable. And as for the 1st fitting part 11, the front-end | tip part of the said 1st fitting part 11 is formed in a spherical shape.

  The second member 20 is a second fitting portion 21 that fits the first fitting portion 11 in a state where the first fitting portion 11 is partially surrounded by sandwiching the surface of the first fitting portion 11. Have In the present embodiment, the second member includes the second fitting portion 21 on one surface of the plate-like member 22. One surface is the surface of the first member 10 among the surfaces of the plate member 22 constituting the second member 20 in a state where the first member 10, the second member 20, and the third member 30 are assembled. It is the surface that faces you. On such a surface, the second fitting portion 21 that fits with the first fitting portion 11 formed in a spherical shape as described above is formed.

  Here, the surface of the first fitting portion 11 is a spherical surface. The second fitting portion 21 holds the spherical surface in a state of partially surrounding the spherical shape. The first fitting portion 11 and the second fitting portion 21 configured as described above are formed as so-called ball joint joints. Further, in the present embodiment, the plate-like member 22 constituting the second member 20 has a square shape when viewed from the vertical direction of the one surface and the vertical direction of the other surface which is the back surface of the one surface. The description will be made assuming that the shape is configured.

  Here, since the first member 10 and the second member 20 are fitted by a so-called ball joint joint as described above, the first member 10 is rotatably supported with respect to the second member 20. Therefore, the sound collecting surface 12 can be freely fixed toward the direction of the person who wants to collect sound (that is, the person who emits sound).

  The third member 30 slides the second member 20 to make the second member 20 detachable, and locks the second member 20 when the second member 20 reaches the slide deepest position A. It has a latching portion 32 that holds and supports other objects. As described above, the second member includes the plate-like member 22 and the second fitting portion 21. For this reason, the second member 20 can slide the plate-like member 22 along the arrow Z in FIG. 2 to separate it from the third member 30 or attach it to the third member 30. The slide guide 31 is larger than the width and length of the plate member 22 constituting the second member 20 so that the second member 20 can be slid into the slide insertion hole 34 formed in the third member 30. It is formed in at least a large size. Therefore, the second member 20 can be detached from the third member 30.

  The deepest slide position A is a position when the second member 20 is slid from the slide entrance 33 side of the third member 30 to the deepest side with respect to the slide insertion hole 34 by the slide guide 31. In such a case, the deepest slide position A is, for example, a position where the slide insertion hole back side surface 35 on the back side of the slide insertion hole 34 and the back surface 23 of the plate-like member 22 constituting the second member 20 abut. This is preferable.

  The third member 30 has a locking portion that locks the plate-like member 22 so as not to come out of the slide insertion hole 34 when the second member 20 is slid to the slide deepest position A of the slide insertion hole 34 in this way. 32 is formed. The locking portion 32 is formed by cutting out from the third member 30. The notch is formed so that both side surfaces and the lower surface of the locking portion 32 and the third member 30 have a predetermined width. The locking portion 32 is formed such that the claw 32 a of the locking portion 32 protrudes from the lower surface of the slide insertion hole 34. And when sliding the 2nd member 20, a user presses the nail | claw 32a of the latching | locking part 32, and the said nail | claw 32a does not prevent the sliding movement of the 2nd member 20. FIG. As described above, the second member 20 is configured to be slidable with respect to the third member 30.

  Moreover, the 3rd member 30 is formed in a substantially U shape so that another object can be clamped, as FIG.1 and FIG.2 shows. The substantially U shape corresponds to the shape of the third member 30 from the side cross section. Such a substantially U-shape is formed by bending an elastically deformable member. For this reason, the biasing force which tries to return to the position before opening works by opening a substantially U shape and pinching an object. Therefore, for example, the third member 30 can be sandwiched by sandwiching a visor having a width wider than the opening width of a U-shape constituting a substantially U-shape.

  Further, a non-slip portion 36 having a convex structure is formed in a portion of the substantially U shape that sandwiches another object such as a visor. The anti-slip portion 36 includes anti-slip portions 36a and 36b formed so as to face each other. The anti-slip portions 36a and 36b can increase the urging force acting in a substantially U shape, so that the microphone mounting apparatus 100 is prevented from slipping off from other objects when other objects are sandwiched. It becomes possible.

  In addition, a cord stopper 37 is formed on the third member 30. The cord stopper 37 is formed on the above-mentioned slip stopper 36a. Since the cord stopper portion 37 is formed in a groove shape and can hold the cord 40 of the microphone, even if the cord 40 extending to the side where the microphone is not attached is pulled, the tension is applied to the cord stopper portion 37. Therefore, the tension can be prevented from being transmitted to the microphone. Therefore, the occurrence of disconnection or the like between the microphone and the cord 40 can be suppressed. In addition to the function of stopping the cord 40 described above, the cord fixing portion 37 has a groove that forms the cord fixing portion 37 when the visor is held without the cord 40 being stopped. It functions as an anti-slip function that prevents sliding off other objects.

  The microphone mounting device 100 having such a configuration can be suitably arranged on a visor or dashboard as follows. For example, when another object can be clamped by the third member 30, the second member 20 is attached to the third member 30, and the other object is clamped and attached. If the three members 30 are not capable of being sandwiched, the second member 20 is separated from the third member 30, and the back surface of the second member 20 and another object are joined and attached by the joining member. That is, when the microphone attachment device 100 is attached to the visor, as shown in FIG. 3, the third member 30 is attached with the visor sandwiched in a substantially U shape. In this case, the second member 20 is used by being attached to the third member 30.

  On the other hand, when the microphone attaching device 100 is attached to the dashboard, as shown in FIG. 4, the other surface facing the one surface of the second member 20 and the dashboard are joined by the joining member. Attached. In this case, the second member 20 is used separately from the third member 30. The back surface of the 2nd member 20 is a back surface of the surface in which the 2nd fitting part 21 is formed in the plate-shaped member 22. FIG. The joining member is preferably a double-sided tape 71. Therefore, the opposing surfaces are fixed by the dashboard and the double-sided tape 71.

  According to the microphone attachment device 100 according to the present invention, the second member 20 is mounted on the third member 30 and used when the microphone is attached while being sandwiched between the visor and the like. On the other hand, when mounting on a dashboard or the like, the second member 20 is used separately from the third member 30. In this way, the second member 20 and the third member 30 are configured to be separable, so that the second member 20 and the third member 30 can be suitably held when fixed to a visor or the like, and when placed on a dashboard or the like. Since the three members 30 are not necessary, the height of the microphone attachment device 100 can be kept low. Therefore, since the microphone can be mounted in a compact manner, the microphone mounting apparatus 100 is difficult to enter the driver's field of view. For this reason, since the driver is not distracted during driving, it is possible to provide a driving environment in which the driver can concentrate on driving operation.

[Other Embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the anti-slip portion 36a of the third member 30 is formed with the cord stopper portion 37 that sandwiches the cord 40 connected to the microphone. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this. Of course, the cord stopper 37 can also be formed on the anti-slip portion 36 b of the third member 30. Of course, it is also possible to form the cord stopper 37 only in one of the slip stopper 36a and the slip stopper 36b.

  Further, as described above, even when the second member 20 is used separately from the third member 30, when the cord 40 extending to the side where the microphone is not attached is pulled, the tension is not transmitted to the microphone. In order to do so, as shown in FIG. 5, it is preferable that a cord stopper portion 28 that sandwiches the cord 40 connected to the microphone is provided on one surface of the plate-like member 22. Here, the one surface of the plate-like member 22 is a surface on which the second fitting portion 21 is formed on the plate-like member 22. Thus, even if the cord 40 is pulled, the cord stopper portion 28 is formed by forming the cord stopper portion 28 that sandwiches the cord 40 on the surface where the second fitting portion 21 of the plate-like member 22 is formed. Since the tension is absorbed by the microphone, it is possible to prevent the tension from being transmitted to the microphone. Therefore, the occurrence of disconnection or the like between the microphone and the cord 40 can be suppressed.

  In the embodiment described above, when the microphone is attached to the visor or the like, the second member 20 is attached to the third member 30 and the visor or the like is sandwiched and used by the substantially U-shape of the third member 30. In such a case, the first member in which microphones of various types (functions and shapes) are arranged according to the purpose such as sound collection by holding only the third member 30 between the visor in advance. It is possible to use the second member 20 fitted to 10 by sliding mounting. That is, it is possible to use a twin type microphone having a plurality of microphones as shown in FIG. 6 or a round type microphone as shown in FIG. Of course, it is possible to replace only the first member 10 and use a microphone of another shape.

  In the said embodiment, when using the 2nd member 20 separately from the 3rd member 30, it demonstrated that the 2nd member 20 and another object were fixed by sticking with the double-sided tape 71, for example. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to fix using a hook-and-loop fastener. In such a case, a hook-and-loop fastener as a joining member is provided on the back surface of the second member 20. That is, one of the surface fasteners 70 is attached in advance to the back surface of the plate-like member 22 constituting the second member 20, and the other (not shown) of the surface fastener is attached in advance to another object such as a dashboard. In addition, the microphone attachment device 100 can be fixed by attaching a surface fastener as necessary.

  In such a case, when the second member 20 is slid into the slide insertion hole 34 of the third member 30, one of the surface fasteners provided on the back surface of the plate-like member 22 constituting the second member 20. 70 may be peeled off by the third member 30. For this reason, when the second member 20 is mounted on the third member 30, there is a gap between the back surface of the second member 20 and the surface of the third member 30 facing the back surface of the second member 20. It is preferable that That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the second member 20 is slidably mounted on the third member 30, the back surface of the plate-like member 22 constituting the second member 20 and the third member 30 facing the back surface are It is preferable that the interval l with the surface to be formed is wider than the thickness d of one of the surface fasteners 70 provided on the back surface of the plate-like member 22.

  With this configuration, the second member 20 is slid to the slide insertion hole 34 of the third member 30 with the one surface fastener 70 provided on the back surface of the plate-like member 22 constituting the second member 20. Is possible. Also, with such a configuration, by attaching one surface fastener 70 in advance to the back surface of the plate-like member 22 constituting the second member 20, the double-sided tape 71 is attached to another object such as a dashboard. There is no need to stick. Therefore, when the second member 20 is slid from the third member 30 and separated, the second member 20 can be quickly fixed to the dashboard or the like.

  In the said embodiment, the 1st fitting part 11 and the 2nd fitting part 21 demonstrated as what is called a ball joint joint. With such a configuration, the holding force for fitting becomes weaker depending on use, and the positional relationship between the first member 10 and the second member 20 cannot be held at the set position or angle. There is a case. In such a case, it is preferable to provide a nut that reinforces the fitting force of the second fitting portion 21 that can be tightened from the outer side in the circumferential direction of the second fitting portion 21. By tightening this nut, the holding force for fitting is strengthened, and the positional relationship between the first member 10 and the second member 20 can be maintained.

  In the above-described embodiment, the microphone mounting device 100 has been described as a device for suitably mounting a microphone having a sound collecting function. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can naturally be applied to a mounting device such as a speaker having a sound generation function.
