Patent number: 8913772Abstract: The ear speaker device includes a mount section that is provided with ear-hook sections, and rotation sections that rotate speaker movable sections with respect to the mount section. Tubular ducts are positioned more inside than the ear-hook sections in a natural state. When the ear speaker device is mounted, the speaker movable sections are rotated to the most outside positions. Then, the ear-hook sections are brought into contact with auricle base upper sections, respectively, and the speaker movable sections are rotated inwardly. In this manner, the tubular ducts can be positioned in the vicinity of the external acoustic meatus openings, respectively, of the listener without interfering with auricles and the like.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2008Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yukimasa Yamaguchi, Makoto Yamagishi, Satoshi Suzuki

Patent number: 7671919Abstract: First to fourth lenses are aligned in an optical axis direction by a lens-barrel of a camera, an O-ring is disposed between the first lens and the lens-barrel, an O-ring is disposed between the fourth lens and the lens-barrel, a space is formed between the first and second lenses, a space is formed between the second and fourth lenses, a space is formed between the third and fourth lenses, and flow of air between the spaces is precluded. The camera thus configured is free of dewing on the lens or a protective plate exposed to the exterior, even when the inside temperature is raised due to heat generation in a CCD or a mounting substrate on which the CCD is mounted.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2005Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Keiichi Iwasaki, Yukimasa Yamaguchi, Kiyoshi Nakagawa
