Adjustable earphone with selectively engageable supporter positions
The patent US12047728B2 describes an innovative earphone design that enhances user comfort and adaptability. The earphone features a body part with a cylindrical shape that extends outward from the user's auricle, allowing for a secure fit. A key component of this design is the supporter, which is attached to the body part and can be engaged at various positions along the axial line of the earphone. This is facilitated by a recess-projection engagement mechanism, which includes multiple recesses located at predetermined angles in the circumferential direction and a corresponding projection that can selectively engage these recesses. Notably, the design incorporates two sets of recesses and projections that allow for versatile positioning, accommodating different user preferences and ear shapes.
Additionally, the patent outlines specific characteristics of the supporter, which can be affixed to the outer surface of the body part and is capable of rotation around the axial line. This feature enables further customization of the earphone's fit. The axial line is defined as extending in the right-left direction relative to the user when the earphone is worn, ensuring that the design is tailored for optimal placement. The supporter may also take the form of a hook that secures the earphone to the outer part of the auricle, enhancing stability during use. Overall, this patent presents a flexible and user-friendly earphone design that addresses the need for adjustable and comfortable audio devices.
