  • Patent number: 11471331
    Abstract: An earplug (10, 80) for selective attenuation of sound has a body with at least one sound path. An insert (34) is housed in the body (13), which has at least one sound passage with an acoustic filter. The acoustic filter is configured to provide a specific frequency response and thus a determined attenuation of sound passing through the earplug. Means (14) is arranged at a top surface adapted to activate or deactivate the sound path. Each acoustic filter comprises an upper acoustic port (36, 37), at least one acoustic mesh (35) and/or acoustic membrane (37, 39), an acoustic chamber (41, 44) and a lower acoustic port (42, 43). An insert (34) with an acoustic filter for selective attenuation of sound is provided for use in an earplug.

  • Patent number: 11134323
    Abstract: A shaped component made of technical fabric for protection of the speakers of electronic devices with waterproofing characteristics of IPx7 degree or higher, which have water-tight speakers. In addition to the function of protection from solid particles, the invention is optimised for guaranteeing fast and efficient draining-off of the water that has penetrated into the water-tight speaker so as to recover as fast as possible the initial acoustic functionality, in an improved way as compared to the solutions currently available. The component according to the present invention comprises within it one or more openings covered by synthetic technical fabric with hydrophilic treatment, to guarantee rapid exit of the water that has entered the speaker module, and one or more openings covered by synthetic technical fabric with hydrophobic treatment, to favour entry of air into the volume in front of the speaker, thus ensuring proper emptying thereof.

  • Patent number: 10993008
    Abstract: A composite multilayer filtering construction for use in filtering applications requiring a high filtering efficiency for particles of the order of microns and a high permeability of the filtering medium, and for use as a sub-component within acoustic and electronic products, in particular microphones and speakers, comprises at least a first layer of polymeric nanoporous membrane and at least a second layer of a synthetic monofilament precision fabric, the first polymeric nanoporous membrane layer being coupled to the second precision fabric layer thereby providing an integral filtering medium adapted to prevent a passage therethrough of particles even of 1-2 ?m and of pressurized liquids.
