  • Patent number: 7949127
    Abstract: A headset (1. 10. 30) e.g. for use in connection with wireless communication. The housing may be constructed as two shells (2, 3) which may be opened and closed so that all mechanical parts may be concealed on the housing when the headset (1, 10, 30) is not in use. The shells (2, 3) may be interconnected by means of a hinge (7, 8) which has an axis disposed in the same plane as the surface of the shells. Alternatively, the shells may be arranged such that the axis is disposed in a perpendicular plane. The headset (1, 10, 30) has all mechanical and electrical parts are well protected when the headset is not used.

  • Patent number: 7366298
    Abstract: A headset (1, 10, 30) e.g. for use in connection with wireless communication by means of Bluetooth technology in connection with mobile telephones, PSTN telephones and the like, which comprises a housing (2, 3, 11, 28) with a transducer (5, 12, 27) in the form of a speaker, as well as a microphone (4, 14, 29) and an ear hook (6, 23, 28). In a first embodiment, the housing may be constructed as two shells (2, 3) which may be opened and closed so that all mechanical parts may be concealed on the housing when the headset (1, 10, 30) is not in use, thereby ensuring that the various parts are not damaged when the headset is stored in a pocket. The shells (2, 3) may be interconnected by means of a hinge (7, 8) which has an axis disposed in the same plane as the surface of the shells. Alternatively, the shells may be arranged such that the axis is disposed in a perpendicular plane relative to the surface of the shells.

  • Patent number: 7013018
    Abstract: An earring for a headset comprising a speaker and possibly a transducer or microphone, is arranged to be worn on one ear of a user so that the earring surrounds the outer ear of the user, and is arranged so that the size of the earring is adjustable. With the object of providing simple adjustment to the size of the ear of the user, the earring is produced with a hard part and a soft part, where the second part can be introduced into the first part. The adjustment of the size of the earring is effected with an adjustment button being secured to the soft part, in that the button with the soft part can be displaced in a channel, which is provided longitudinally in the hard part. The channel is possibly configured by the hard part being configured with a closing part. With the invention an adjustment arrangement for an earring for a headset is thus provided, which is easy for the user to operate, also when the earring is placed on the ear of a user.

  • Publication number: 20050271234
    Abstract: A headset which consists of an ear hook and a holding ring that are interconnected by means of an attachment element formed by a hinge, which is made of a deformable, flexible material that may be an elastomer, such as EPOM, TPE or Santroprene®The hinge has a four-sided hole in which one end of the ear hook may be received, said end being formed with a four-sided shape in dimensions corresponding to the hole. Teeth are formed in the hole which are capable of cooperating with depressions formed on the four-sided end. The invention provides an attachment element which may be manipulated several times when adjusting the position of the ear hook relative to the holding ring, without play occurring in the hinge at any time, since there are no mutually movable slide bearing parts, such as shafts that can slide. In other words, a stable attachment is ensured between the ear hook and the holding ring in the positions selected by a user.
