Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for storing ear speakers for stereo reproduction.

Conventionally, there is a storage box in which the earphones are stored in the center and a groove is provided on the side for winding a connecting wire, but the connecting wire is simply wound around a winding frame which is a groove.

In the present invention, the left and right ear speaker bodies are stored in the storage recess provided on the top surface of the storage part, and the connection wires from the left and right ear speaker bodies are wound around the side groove by using the side groove on the side of the storage part as a winding frame. A locking groove is provided in the side groove to lock the plug provided at the tip of the connection wire, and the plug is inserted into the plug locking part having the wall of the side groove facing the plug locking groove at an interval narrower than the outermost diameter of the plug. A notch is provided that can be pushed in with a finger to lock the plug in the locking part. The locking groove is provided at a position where the outside of the wound connection wire is pressed by a convex portion provided at the outermost diameter of the plug.

The convex part on the outermost diameter of the plug prevents the wound connection wire from loosening, and when removing the plug from the locked state, press the end of the plug with your finger through the notch provided at the end of the gutter. To provide an ear speaker storage method that is easy to store and remove even when stored in a small size by forming a contact point of a side gutter as a fulcrum and putting the other end of the pressed plug into a stored state where the plug can be pulled out by protruding from the side gutter.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a storage box for storing ear speakers, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the ear speakers are stored. Storage parts 2a, 2 that store ear speaker bodies 11a, 11b in the center of the storage box 1
The inner diameter of the housing parts 2a and 2b is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the ear pads 12a and 12b formed by elastic members provided on the ear speaker bodies 11a and 11b, so that they fit together elastically. .

The storage box 1 has ear speaker main body storage parts 2a, 2b and ear speaker main bodies 11a, 11 in the center.
The left and right ear speaker bodies 11a and 11b are placed in the storage part 2.
a, 2b, insert the connecting wires 13a, 13b from the left and right ear speaker bodies into the guide groove 3, respectively, wind the connecting wire 13 several times around the side groove 4, and connect the connecting wire 13.
When the length is adjusted by bending the wire to remove it due to variations in winding, and pushing the plug 14 provided at the tip of the connecting wire 13 into the plug locking groove 5 of the plug locking part provided in the side groove 4, the outermost diameter of the plug becomes convex. If the shaped portion 14c is made slightly larger than the inner diameter of the side groove 4 as a locking portion of the plug locking groove 5, the elasticity of the upper wall 4a and the lower wall 4b will lock the convex portion 14c at the outermost diameter of the plug. It acts to draw the stopper into the center of the stop groove 5. The locking groove 5 and the notch 9 are located on the upper wall 4.
A and the lower wall 4 may be provided, but the outside of the wound connection wire 13 is pressed by the convex portion 14c of the outermost diameter of the plug to the extent that the wound connection wire 13 will not loosen due to vibration etc. The plug 14 is locked and stored.

A storage box 1 is provided with a pivot 7 for pivotally supporting an upper lid 6, and a locking mechanism 8 for locking the upper lid 6.
If the upper lid 6 is locked, the ear speaker bodies 11a and 11b, which are fitted into the internal storage part by the elasticity of the ear pads 12a and 12b, will not come off due to strong vibrations or the like.

When removing the ear speaker from the stored state, use your finger to remove the plug end 1 from the notch 9 provided on the lower wall 4b.
When 4a is pressed, the tip of the plug other portion 14b rises using the outermost convex portion 14c of the plug 14 as a fulcrum and comes out of the side groove 4. Therefore, remove the tip 14b of the plug 14, remove the wound connection wire 13, and connect the left and right ear speaker bodies 11a,
11b can be taken out from the storage parts 2a, 2b.

The outermost diameter 14c of the plug 14 may have a plurality of protrusions and depressions to increase the contact resistance with the wound connection wire, and when the plurality of protrusions and depressions cover a wide range of the plug outer cover, a plug locking portion may be formed. A protrusion may be provided on the side wall of the plug to serve as a plug fulcrum when pressing the end of the plug.

As described above, according to the invention, the ear speaker can be housed in a small size, especially to the same size as the microcassette, and the connecting wire can be securely housed and removed easily.
