Patent number: 7146004Abstract: Communication unit comprising a housing in which at least one transducer is placed, and on which a microphone arm is suspended. The housing also has means, such as an ear hook, for fastening the communication unit to the head of a user. The microphone arm is pivotally connected to the housing by a hinge link, and at an outer area of the housing, so that the microphone arm can be moved between a first position in which it lies up against the housing, and a second position in which it extends away from the housing. The microphone arm has a length, which in the main is less than or of the same order as the greatest extent of the housing, so that in the folded-in state the microphone arm does not project out over the circumference of the housing. The communication unit can be used on both the right and the left side of the head, in that the ear hook (6) can be suspended in two different positions, corresponding to the communication unit being worn on the right or the left ear, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2003Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: GN Netcom, Inc.Inventors: Martin Reed Bodley, Ian Paul Smith, Stephen R. Lyman, Christian Bjerrum-Niese, Paul Wojciak, Charles L. Pederson
