  • Patent number: 8223984
    Abstract: A system for forming hearing protectors, an ear cup of such a system and a hearing protector formed from such a system. The system includes a number of first ear cups and a number of second ear cups, the first and second ear cups having noise-reducing spaces of different size, and at least one electronic unit with at least one speaker. This system allows the same type of electronic unit to be used for ear cups with different degrees of noise attenuation.

  • Publication number: 20100128885
    Abstract: The invention concerns a system for forming hearing protectors, an ear cup of such a system and a hearing protector formed from such a system. The system comprises a number of first ear cups (5a) and a number of second ear cups (5b), the first and second ear cups having noise-reducing spaces (11) of different size, and at least one electronic unit (30) with at least one speaker (31). An inner distance (I3) in the noise-reducing space from the speaker (31) in the direction away from the noise-reducing space, and a volume (V3) of a resonance space (15) in the first ear cup are adapted to the inner distance (Ib) and the volume (Vb) of the resonance space (15) in the second ear cup (5b). This is done in such a manner that, when the electronic unit is mounted in each ear cup, sound emitted by the speaker (31) in each ear cup produces substantially the same sound characteristic from the first ear cup (5a) as that from the second ear cup (5b).

  • Publication number: 20090014014
    Abstract: An ear cup (1) has a cup portion (I?) with a support surface (3), as well as a sealing device (4), which is placed against the support surface of the cup portion for bearing against a wearer's head in an area around an ear of the wearer. The sealing device (4) comprises a sealing portion (5) of a soft material, which in its periphery area bears against said support surface (3), and a clamping ring (7) of a hard material, which expands the sealing portion (5). The sealing portion (5) is provided with a peripherally extending flange, which is introduced in the cup portion (1?) and bears against the inner side of the cup portion, whereby the clamping ring (7) bears against the flange and presses the flange against the inner side of the cup portion (1?) for fastening the sealing device (4) to the cup portion (I?).
