EARPHONES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18628789 titled 'EARPHONES

The earphone described in the patent application includes a sound production component and an ear hook that positions the sound production component near the ear canal without blocking it.

• The inner contour of the ear hook's projection on a user's sagittal plane includes a first curve with an extremum point in a specific direction.
• The extremum point is located behind the upper vertex of the ear hook on the sagittal plane, with the upper vertex being the highest point of the inner contour along the user's vertical axis.
• The inclination angle of the long-axis direction relative to a horizontal direction falls within a range of 13°-21°.

Potential Applications: - This earphone design could be used in various audio devices such as headphones, headsets, and earbuds. - It could also be applied in communication devices for clear and comfortable audio transmission.

Problems Solved: - The ear hook design ensures that the sound production component is positioned correctly near the ear canal for optimal sound quality without causing discomfort or blockage.

Benefits: - Improved comfort and fit for users wearing the earphone. - Enhanced audio experience with the sound production component positioned effectively near the ear canal.

Commercial Applications: - This technology could be utilized by audio equipment manufacturers to enhance the design and functionality of their products, potentially increasing customer satisfaction and sales.

Questions about the earphone design: 1. How does the ear hook ensure optimal positioning of the sound production component near the ear canal? 2. What range of inclination angles is considered ideal for the long-axis direction of the ear hook in relation to a horizontal direction?

Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides an earphone comprising a sound production component and an ear hook. In a wearing state, the ear hook is configured to place the sound production component at a position near an ear canal but not blocking the ear canal. An inner contour of the ear hook's projection on a user's sagittal plane includes a first curve having an extremum point in a first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to a long-axis direction of a projection of the sound production component on the sagittal plane. The extremum point is located behind a projection point of an upper vertex of the ear hook on the sagittal plane, and the upper vertex is a highest point of an inner contour of the ear hook along the user's vertical axis. An inclination angle of the long-axis direction relative to a horizontal direction is within a range of 13°-21°.
