Definitions
- Hearing protector ear cup supporting means including an adjustable headband of lightweight construction having provision at each of its opposite ends for supporting an ear cup.
- Attachment means for the ear cups include at each end of the headband an arcuately shaped formation of spaced parallel wires between which an ear cup mounting stud extends.
- the stud is aligned coaxially with the cup and is so constructed and arranged in conjunction with its respective arcuately shaped end of the headband as to permit rotational adjustment of the ear cup about its axis as well as tilting adjustment thereof for accurately positioning each ear cup of the hearing protector structure in comfortably fitted acoustically sealed relationship about the ear independently of the positional relationship of the headband selected by the wearer for maximum comfort in its extension over, behind, or beneath the chin of a wearers head.
- Hearing protector ear cups are currently being provided with elongated or elliptically shaped openings into which the ear auricle is inserted for providing a seal closely around the ear against the wearers head.
- This arrangement requires that the ear cup be rotationally oriented according to the configuration of the wearers head for proper fitting. Further in achieving comfortable fitting and optimum acoustical sealing against the head, tilting of individual ear cups relative to their supporting structures is required in amounts corresponding to particular shapes and sizes of various heads to which they are applied.
- hearing rotector ear cups have been supported in yokes provided at terminal ends of the headband whereby pivotal connections at diametrically opposed sides of the cup permit tilting of the cup but prevent rotational adjustment thereof. Consequently in order to achieve both rotational and tilting adjustments in the fitting of such hearing protectors, it is required that an offthe-head rotational adjustment of the cushioned annulus of the cup be made on the cup body. This usually requires that several trial and error rotational adjustments be made with a corresponding number of applications and removal of the complete structure from the head before reasonable comfort and accuracy of fitting is achieved.
- headbands may be afiixed to axially disposed mounting means on hearing protector cups
- the facility of allowing for on-the-head rotational adjustment of the hearing protector cups is, at least to a large extent, defeated by the requirement that for tilting adjustment of such cups, an off-the-head bending of the headband or similar adjustment is usually required.
- the present invention overcomes such as the aforesaid drawbacks in the field of headband-ear cup apparatuses by affording universal rotational and tilting adjustment of ear cups relative to a lightweight adjustable headband structure which is adaptable to being worn in any comfortable osition over the head, behind the head or beneath the chin.
- the present invention relates to improvements in headband-ear cup attachment means which provide for both rotational and tilting adjustment of ear cups relative to their supporting headband.
- Each ear cup is provided with a centrally or axially disposed mounting stud on its rearward side, i.e., the side opposite to that having the ear receiving opening therein.
- Opposite terminal ends of the headband are formed of a length of wire having an intermediate bight wherewith the wire is doubled to form spaced parallel slideways between which at least a portion of the stud is extended.
- the bight provides a stop which prevents accidental detachment of the stud from the headband.
- the stud be formed as an integral extension of the rearward side of the ear cup or, alternatively, provided with an enlarged headed portion and extended through an opening in the rearward side of the cup with its headed portion engaging the inner surface of said side of the cup.
- the outwardly disposed end of the stud is circumferentially grooved to a width and depth sufficient to freely but intimately receive the aforesaid slideways at the end of the headband between which the stud may be freely rotated and longitudinally slidably adjusted along the length of said headband end portion.
- a cupped tension washer is preferably placed over the stud between the wire end of the headband and the adjacent surface of the ear cup wherewith an outwardly directed frictional force is applied to portions of the wire within the groove of the stud to hold the cup in desired positions of rotational and longitudinal adjustment on the end of the headband.
- a substantial portion of the length of the wire from the bight is arcuately shaped to form an outwardly directed concave slideway along which the stud, carrying the ear cup, may be adjusted to produce a desired tilting of the cup relative to the headband.
- a pair of parallel grooves or spaced parallel openings be provided for receiving the arcuately shaped extensions of the Wire slideway.
- the ear cup being frictionally engaged between the enlarged head of the stud and the outer friction washer, will be rotatable upon the stud.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective illustration of one embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view taken generally along line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a fragmentary side elevational view of the headband, ear cup attachment means illustrated in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a fragmentary perspective illustration of an alternative embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view taken along line 5-5 of FIG. 4;
- FIG. 6 is an end view, partially in cross-section, of a further modification of the ear cup, headband attachment means.
- FIG. 7 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view similar to FIGS. 2 and 5 of a still further modification of the invention.
- Hearing protector headpiece 10 (FIGS. 1 and 2) comprises headband 12 having an ear protector cup 14 pivotally and slidably connected to each of its opposite ends.
- Headband 12 is formed of a pair of arcuately shaped spaced parallel wires 16 supported by blocks 18 and intermediate spacer blocks 20. Terminal ends of headband 12, only one of which is shown in FIG. 1, are formed of a length of wire 22 having a bight 23 intermediate of its opposite ends wherewith extensions 24 and 26 from bight 23 are directed in spaced parallel relationship with each other slidably through block 18 and are securely fixed to slide block 28. Sliding movement of block 28 along wires 16 toward and away from block 18 lengthen and shorten the span of headband 12.
- Each ear cup 14 is provided with an axial opening 30 in its rearward side 32 (FIG. 2) through which a stud 34 is extended.
- Stud 34 preferably formed of nylon or its equivalent, has an enlarged somewhat flexible head portion 36 which peripherally engages the inner surface of side 32 around opening 30.
- Extensions 24 and 26 of wire 22 are entered into a circumferential groove 38 across opposite sides of stud 34 and lock stud 34 in place on cup 14.
- Tension washer 40 on stud 34 forced against the outer surface of side 32 by the positioning of wire 22 in groove 38 brings head portion 36 of stud 34 into intimately peripherally engaged relationship with side 32. Together with washer 40, head portion 36 provides an acoustic seal around opening 30.
- cup 14 may be axially rotationally oriented relative headband 12 so as to orient an elongated ear opening therein by amounts required for accurate comfortable fitting of the cup upon the head of a wearer.
- This rotation of cup 14 may involve rotation of stud 34 between extensions 24 and 26 of wire 22 or rotation of cup 14 about stud 34 or combinations of both such actions.
- stud 34 may be an integrally molded extension 34 of surface 32 of cup 14 as shown in FIG. 7.
- the circumferential groove 38 (FIG. 2) may be replaced by parallel slots 44, see FIG. 6, into which extensions 24 and 26 of wire 22 are entered.
- each cup 14 is tiltably adjustable upon headband 12 by sliding along extensions 24 and 26 of wire 22.
- a substantial length of each of extensions 24 and 26 from bight 23 is arcuately shaped to an outwardly directed concave configuration as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 there are illustrated modifications of the invention wherein a flat steel band 46 (FIG. 4) is substituted for wires 16 of headband 12.
- Block 48 fixed to band 46 and slide block 50 slidably mounted on hand 46 correspond to blocks 18 and 28 shown and described with relation to the embodiment of FIG. 1.
- Block 48 guides extensions 24 and 26 of wire 22 along headband 46 for lengthening or shortening the extension of the headband by sliding block 50 therealong.
- stud 34" and its adaptation to ear cup 14 is similar to the arrangement depicted in FIG. 2 With the exception that spaced parallel openings 52 in stud 34" are substituted for groove 38 in stud 34. Acordingly, in this case, extensions 24 and 26 of Wire 22 are directed through openings 52 whereby cup 14 may be rotated about stud 34" and slidably adjusted along the arcuately shaped portions of extensions 24 and 26 for effecting tilting adjustments of the cup.
