Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen In-Ear Ohrhörer, einen bügellosen Hörer, sowie einen Ohrclip-Hörer.The present invention relates to an in-ear earphone, a strapless earphone and an ear clip earphone.
In-Ear Kopfhörer bzw. Ohrhörer stellen kleine Ohrhörer bzw. Kopfhörer dar, welche in das Außenohr gesteckt werden können. Üblicherweise wird der elektroakustische Wandler des Ohrhörers dabei in das Außenohr gesteckt.In-ear headphones or earphones are small earphones or headphones that can be inserted into the outer ear. The electroacoustic transducer of the earphone is usually inserted into the outer ear.
Derartige In-Ear Ohrhörer werden jedoch oftmals nach längerem Tragen als unangenehm empfunden und bei einer Anzahl von Anwendern fallen die In-Ear Ohrhörer regelmäßig heraus.Such in-ear earphones, however, are often perceived as uncomfortable after prolonged wear and a number of users regularly drop out of the in-ear earphones.
Es ist somit Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung den Tragekomfort von In-Ear Ohrhörern zu verbessern.It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve the comfort of in-ear earphones.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen In-Ear Ohrhörer gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by an in-ear earphone according to claim 1.
Somit wird ein In-Ear Ohrhörer mit einem elektroakustischen Wandler und mindestens einem Stützelemente vorgesehen, das mit dem Wandler gekoppelt ist. Somit kann eine Zweipunktverankerung des Ohrhörers im Außenohr erreicht werden, wobei der Wandler die erste Verankerung und das Stützelement die zweite Verankerung darstellt. Gemäß einem Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung ist der Abstand zwischen dem Stützelement und dem elektroakustischen Wandler derart ausgewählt, dass das Stützelement in der Concha eines Trägers des In- Ear Ohrhörers verankert werden kann. Somit ist eine sichere Fixierung des In-Ear Ohrhörers im Ohr gewährleistet.Thus, an in-ear earphone with an electroacoustic transducer and at least one support element is provided, which is coupled to the transducer. A two-point anchoring of the earphone in the outer ear can thus be achieved, the transducer being the first anchoring and the support element being the second anchoring. According to one aspect of the present invention, the distance between the support element and the electroacoustic transducer is selected such that the support element can be anchored in the concha of a wearer of the in-ear earphone. This ensures a secure fixation of the in-ear earphone in the ear.
Gemäß einem werteren Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung ist das Stützelement gegenüber dem elektroakustischen Wandler vorgespannt, wodurch eine verbesserte Anpassung im Ohr erhalten wird.According to a further aspect of the present invention, the support element is biased relative to the electroacoustic transducer, as a result of which an improved adaptation in the ear is obtained.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung ist das Stützelement austauschbar. Hierdurch wird die Hygiene des Ohrhörers verbessert und defekte Stützelemente können somit ohne Weiteres ausgetauscht werden.According to a further aspect of the present invention, the support element is interchangeable. As a result, the hygiene of the earphones is improved and defective support elements can be easily replaced.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner einen bügellosen Hörer mit mindestens zwei elektroakustischen Wandlern und jedem Wandler zugeordneten Verbin- dungselementen zum Verbinden mit entsprechenden Verbindungselementen, welche einem anderen elektroakustischen Wandler zugeordnet sind. Somit können die beiden elektroakustischen Wandler eines Hörers beispielsweise zur Aufbewahrung miteinander verbunden werden.The invention further relates to a bracketless receiver with at least two electroacoustic transducers and connecting elements assigned to each transducer for connecting to corresponding connecting elements which are assigned to another electroacoustic transducer. The two electroacoustic transducers of a receiver can thus be connected to one another for storage, for example.
