Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wireless headphone, especially to a wireless headphone with a self-actuated switch.
  • a headphone is used on personal music devices such as a Walkman®, a CD-player, hi-fi equipment, etc. to transmit sound and in particular music, in a vividly stereophonic manner, whereby the user can enjoy loud music without disturbing others.
  • a conventional headphone is connected to the appropriate device by an electric wire.
  • the electric wire can be a nuisance in terms of restricting the user's movements while the headphone is connected to a large hi-fi device and so wireless headphones have become a popular alternative.
  • the wireless headphone has no wire to connect to the broadcast equipment, the electric power is provided by batteries that are mounted in the wireless headphone. If the headphone is unintentionally left in a power on status but no music is being played, the user will be unaware of the power waste situation.
  • the wireless headphone has a switch to control the electric connection. Nevertheless, it is found that on one hand the conventional switch has to be located in an easily accessible position but on the other hand such a location means the switch is easily actuated unintentionally, such as by putting down the headphones. To overcome the shortcoming, the present invention provides a wireless headphone with a self-actuated switch to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
  • the main objective of the present invention is to provide a wireless headphone with a self-actuated switch.
  • the wireless headphone with the self-actuated switch comprises a belt, two retainers and a self-actuated switch.
  • the self-actuated switch has a base, a resilient bar and a blocking sheet.
  • the base is mounted in a mounting recess in the belt and has a button.
  • the resilient bar is mounted in the mounting recess in the belt and selectively presses against the button.
  • the blocking sheet is mounted on the belt under the resilient bar to keep the resilient bar from moving downward. Bending the belt will force the resilient bar to move forward. When the button is pressed, the wireless headphone will be actuated.
  • a wireless headphone with a self-actuated switch in accordance with the present invention comprises a belt (11), two retainers (101) and a self-actuated switch.
  • the belt (11) has two ends, a middle part, a mounting recess (12) and an optional holding block (110).
  • the mounting recess (12) is formed in the belt (11) and is optionally formed in the middle part of the belt (11).
  • the holding block (110) is formed in the mounting recess (12).
  • the retainers (101) are mounted respectively on the two ends of the belt (11) and each retainer (101) has a housing (10) mounted on the retainer (101).
  • the self-actuated switch is mounted in the belt (11) and comprises a base (13) and a resilient bar (14).
  • the base (13) is mounted in the mounting recess (12) and on the holding block (110) and has a proximal end, a distal end and a button (130).
  • the proximal end connects to the holding block (110).
  • the button (130) is formed on the distal end of the base (13). When the button is pressed, the wireless headphone will be actuated, as to be described in detail later.
  • the resilient bar (14) is mounted in the mounting recess (12), extends into the mounting recess (12), is optionally formed on the belt (11) and has a proximal end, a distal end and an optional contacting surface (140).
  • the contacting surface (140) is formed on the distal end and selectively presses against the button (130) on the base (13).
  • the blocking sheet (15) is mounted on the belt (11) and under the distal end of the resilient bar (14) to keep the resilient bar (15) from moving downward.
  • a user has to flex the belt (11) of the wireless headphone to put the housing (10) around ears of the user. Because the blocking sheet (15) keeps the resilient bar (14) from moving downward, the contacting surface (140) on the distal end of the resilient bar (14) will move forward when the belt (11) is flexed outwardly. Then the contacting surface (140) will press the button (130) on the base (13) and actuates the wireless headphone.
  • the self-actuated switch on a wireless headphone as described makes a huge improvement. Whenever the user wears the wireless headphone, the switch will be self-actuated by the flexing of the belt (11). Because the switch is actuated only when the belt (11) is flexed, the switch will not be unintentionally actuated. Furthermore, when the headphone is removed and no longer required, the power consumption is automatically terminated. Hence, both situations automatically prevent prematurely exhausting the batteries.
