Patent number: 11696061Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an earpiece for an ear. The ear comprises a concha cavity at least partially delimited by a concha floor, a concha side wall and a concha ceiling. The earpiece comprises a peripheral skirt comprising a positioning skirt portion which in turn comprises an outer skirt surface and an inner skirt surface, wherein a transition from the outer skirt surface to the inner skirt surface occurs at a skirt edge. The skirt edge extends at least partially circumferentially around a central axis of the earpiece, wherein the earpiece is adapted to be moved to a use position, at least partially within the concha cavity, in a direction parallel to the central axis, during insertion of the earpiece into the ear. When the peripheral skirt is in a non-influenced condition, at least a portion of the inner skirt surface faces the central axis.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2022Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Inventors: Vidar Sandanger, Johan Sundkvist, Henrik Myhre-Sandmark

Patent number: 11653135Abstract: Auricular attachments should be comfortable for long term wear. An auricular interface based on a skirt attachment is disclosed. By separating the uplifting force of the skirt from a separate downward force a more comfortable wearing is achieved. The skirt can optionally be pleated. The objective is achieved by a skirt structure having an outer surface that contacts least a part of an inner part of an outer boundary of a concha of a pinna, without the skirt touching the floor of the concha.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: SECTIO AUREA ASInventors: Vidar Sandanger, Johan Sundkvist, Henrik Myhre-Sandmark
