Embodiment Construction

[0021] Figure 1A and 1B A schematic diagram showing the expansion adapter according to the first embodiment. The expansion adapter can be replaceably or detachably fixed on the shell of the earphone. The expansion adapter or expansion adapter unit has a ring 10 with a bore 11 and an expansion unit 20 . The ring 10 and the bore 11 are selected such that the ring fits securely on the housing of the earphone. Therefore, the extension adapter unit can be installed or fixed on the shell of the earphone. The extension unit 20 is connected to the ring 10 and serves as a mechanism for securing the extension adapter in the user's ear. The extension unit 10 has four legs 22 , 23 , 24 and 25 and an upper and a lower part 26 which have defined curvatures. The upper portion 26 can be placed on the anti-helix, anti-helix and / or concha of the ear and has a first end 28 and a second end 29 . The first end 28 of the upper part 26 is coupled to the first leg 22 of the extension unit 20 , ...

Abstract

An in-ear earpiece is provided, comprising a housing (50) for accommodating an electroacoustic transducer and an expansion adapter unit (20) that is coupled to the housing (50) of the in-ear earpiece. The expansion adapter unit comprises an expansion unit (20) with an upper part (26) that has a curvature for fitting into a crus inferius anthelicis, an anti-helix and / or a concha of an ear of a user. The expansion adapter unit further comprises at least one coupling element for coupling the upper part (26) to the housing (50) of the in-ear earpiece, wherein the expansion unit (20) comprises at least two flexible legs (22, 25) as coupling elements, wherein one leg (22) is coupled to a first end (28) of the upper part (26) and a second leg (25) is coupled to a second end (29) of the upper part (26).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an earphone and an expansion adapter. Background technique [0002] In-ear headphones have become very popular over the past few years as they are increasingly used with MP3 players or multimedia players.
