Abstract
An intercom unit (1) adapted to be removably secured to a strap segment (14). The intercom unit (1) comprises a recess (15) in a front side (10), and a through hole (3). A yoke (4) is releasably fitted in the recess (15). An elastic cord (5) extends through the through hole (3) and is attached to the yoke (4) so that it 5 together with the yoke (4) constitutes a loop (13) with a first loop segment (13a) and a second loop segment (13b). In a first attachment mode, the first loop segment (13a) at a first side wall (12a) extends around the strap segment (14) and the second loop segment (13b) at a second side wall (12b) extends around the strap segment (14). 20 25 25 99 10 30 O ct 2 02 5 2 0 2 5 2 5 9 9 1 0 3 0 O c t 2 0 2 5 A B S T R A C T A n i n t e r c o m u n i t ( 1 ) a d a p t e d t o b e r e m o v a b l y s e c u r e d t o a s t r a p s e g m e n t ( 1 4 ) .
