Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circuit housing with an electrical Circuit for a headphone, in particular for a chin strap headphone.
  • Headphones are generally known for the convenience of the user designed as light as possible. That's why when designing headphones attaching electrical circuits to the headphones as much as possible waived, and a signal output, e.g. on a stereo, delivers one for the Headphones already processed signal.
  • DE 40 19 529 A1 describes e.g. a headset with headphones and a circuit housing in which an electrical circuit for the headphones is housed.
  • the housing is connected to the headphones via a cable and has various types of actuators and switches on the outside, which overall lead to a jagged, complicated structure of the housing.
  • US 5,701,356 describes a circuit housing with an electrical circuit for a headphone on which an actuating element in the form of a outside protruding knob.
  • Chinband headphones have a small housing, which is under the Chin is positionable in front of the user's chest and two of which are elastic Bow mostly in a slightly curved shape past the cheeks to the ears to lead.
  • circuit housings for headphones poses problems especially when arranging elements for actuating the circuit.
  • the circuit housing should be as small as possible to the user to bother as little as possible, but on the other hand should on the circuit housing several actuators according to some functional requirements be arranged. On the one hand, these should be easy and recognizable to use on the other hand, but cannot be operated accidentally.
  • the problem of complex construction in terms of production technology the individual housing parts and complex assembly of the overall assembly.
  • the invention is based on the object of a circuit housing with an electrical circuit for a headphone to create the production is more simply constructed and ergonomically improved.
  • a circuit housing with an electrical circuit for a headphone on a lid that acts as an actuator of the circuit is trained. According to the invention, this has the advantage of production technology, that after assembling the circuit in the initially open circuit housing principally required closing of the housing by mounting the actuating element is integrated in one work step.
  • the cover of the circuit housing is preferably designed as a rotary regulator, which is rotatable about an axis mounted in the housing and e.g. the setting the volume of the headphones can serve.
  • the entire housing side formed by the cover serve as a rotary control button, with even the entire circumference for gripping can serve at the edge of the lid, if preferred the circumference of the lid Exceeds the circumference of the preferably coaxial housing somewhat.
  • the cover has as an actuating element preferably on a scale with a mark on the housing interacts.
  • the cover as a rotary control can preferably be placed on a potentiometer the circuit be plugged in and operate it.
  • the connection of the Cover with the potentiometer is preferably designed as a slip clutch. This enables the cover to be easily align the scale on the cover with the mark on the housing. To do this, the cover with its slip clutch is placed on the potentiometer and e.g. for zero alignment up to the zero stop of the potentiometer and then at Slipping clutch continues to rotate until the on the scale associated zero mark is reached.
  • the rotary knob does not simply continue when the slipping clutch slips but now turned in the opposite direction and takes that Potentiometer now in this direction of rotation.
  • the potentiometer now reaches - if preferred the angle of rotation of the potentiometer and that through the scale marked angle range are the same size - in this direction of rotation in front of the rotary knob its extreme value stop, so that the rotary knob when slipping Slip clutch up to the one corresponding to the extreme value stop of the potentiometer Scale mark rotated and so finally in this direction can be aligned with the potentiometer.
  • the lid can preferably be transparent to infrared rays. This avoids In terms of production technology, the requirement for a window for infrared signal transmission to be provided when using the circuit for signal transmission an infrared transmitter / receiver.
  • the circuit housing can also have one or more others Have actuators of the circuit. This can be done by push buttons be e.g. a possibly also installed in the circuit housing Switch microphone. Or they serve e.g. the actuation of a radio receiver frequency search, if the circuit e.g. designed for RF radio signal transmission is. However, e.g. also other rotary controls in question, e.g. the balance between the acoustic transducers for the left and for the right ear can.
  • push buttons be e.g. a possibly also installed in the circuit housing Switch microphone. Or they serve e.g. the actuation of a radio receiver frequency search, if the circuit e.g. designed for RF radio signal transmission is.
  • other rotary controls in question, e.g. the balance between the acoustic transducers for the left and for the right ear can.
  • the further actuating element can preferably be in a recess on the Be arranged outside of the housing. This advantageously prevents accidental Activate the element.
  • a sufficiently wide configuration of the Recess as a recessed grip is advantageous for convenient actuation of the actuating element.
  • This configuration is particularly advantageous for actuators on the back of the circuit housing, i.e. on the side that on the The user's chest lies while the opposite front is light designed accessible with the lid according to the invention as an actuating element is.
  • This arrangement of further actuating elements possible according to the invention also on the back has the advantage that the actuating elements there when Wearing the headphones are not visible and thus optically withdraw from what is going on is particularly suitable for elements that are operated less often.
  • a chin strap headphones can be the circuit housing according to the invention with the features described.
  • the invention Circuit housings can also - e.g. with a standardized jack plug socket equipped - together with a commercially available headband or earphone be usable.
  • Figure 1 is a chin strap headphones 2 with two straps 4 and two acoustic Transducers 6 can be seen at the upper end of the bracket 4.
  • Brackets 2 At their lower end are those Brackets 2 connected to each other on a housing 8 and thus form an upward open bay.
  • the brackets 2 are arched outward in an arc, and the Acoustic transducers 4 at the top of the bracket are directed inwards Ear pads 10, which also point inwards into the bay formed in this way.
  • At her tips on the inside each have a passage 10 made of two crossed slots to ensure a good acoustic connection from the transducers 6 to ensure by the ear pads 10 in the direction of the ears (not shown).
  • bracket 4 with the acoustic transducers 6 and the ear pads 10 are elastically removable from each other by the bracket 4 over their arcuate Length are elastically deformable transversely to the outside.
  • the Guide bracket 2 along the user's cheeks down to the chin where under the chin the housing 6 as a connection between the lower ends of the bracket 2nd rests on the chest (not shown) of the user, lying on it with the in Figure 2 visible circular back 14 of the substantially circular cylindrical Housing 8.
  • a recess 16 as an operating recess for a button 18. It extends from the lower edge of the back 14 in the direction thereof Focus.
  • a user can the housing 8 on his Lift the lower edge in the area of the depression 16 and from there into the depression 16 advance to button 18 to operate it.
  • the button 18 actuates a circuit, which is concealed in the housing 8.
  • FIG. 2 The front side of the housing 8, which is not visible in FIG. 1, is corresponding to FIG Design shown in Figure 2.
  • FIG Design shown in Figure 2 There is a top view of an inventive one Circuit housing 8 ', an alternative embodiment of the invention shown.
  • the circuit housing 8 ' has no separate bracket with acoustic ones Transducers - so no headphones - on, but a 3.5mm socket on the top 20 ( Figure 3) for a stereo jack plug.
  • It also has the circuit case 8 'a hook-shaped projecting from its upper edge Clamping clip 22 for connecting the circuit housing e.g. on the breast pocket a shirt or a blouse.
  • the substantially circular cylindrical Housing 8 has a circular cover 24, which acts as a control dial is trained.
  • the cover 24 covers the front end of the housing completely, so that its ring-shaped edge contour for rotating actuation is easy is tangible.
  • the cover 24 actuates a potentiometer 26 of an electrical circuit 28, of which only the board 28 is shown in FIG. 3 for reasons of clarity is.
  • An infrared receiver is on the board 28 for signal transmission attached, and the lid 24 is transparent to signals for infrared transmission.
  • the Cover 24 is via a slip clutch 30 on the axis 26 of the potentiometer inserted, which is rotatably mounted in the housing 8 'on the circuit 28.
  • a scale 32 can be seen on the outside of the lid 24, which with a mark 22, 34 cooperates on the housing 8 '.
  • the one by the arrow 34 and the clamp 22 marked value "0" of the scale is also due to its readability in the position shown, which is not twisted in any way marked what should also be understood as a marking in the sense of the invention is.
  • the position of the cover 24 can now be seen from this orientation of the scale 32, into which it is rotated with respect to the rest of the housing 8 'and into which it passes this rotation has actuated the potentiometer 26 accordingly.
