Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone device which simplifies the use of a telephone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A telephone is composed of a telephone body having a dial and connected to a so-called public line, and a handset connected to the telephone body by a cord and having a microphone and a speaker for communication. In recent years, the use of cordless telephones has progressed, and cordless telephones in which the body of the telephone and the handset are wireless have become widespread, and mobile phones that are integrated with the body of the handset and wirelessly connect to a public line. Many are used.

Basically, these telephones have no cords in the handset, and it is not necessary to make a call within a specific range such as near the telephone body, so that the use is simplified.

[0004]

However, even if cordlessness advances and the degree of freedom during a call increases, as long as the receiver is used, one hand is required to hold it. When taking notes during a call or confirming an appointment, the notebook will be turned with one hand.

An object of the present invention is to obtain a telephone device in which both hands are free during a telephone call.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a frame having a curved hook for hooking on an earlobe, and an earphone arranged near the ear from the frame.
It is characterized by comprising a microphone arranged near the mouth from the frame, and a connecting means for connecting the earphone and the microphone to the telephone body.

[0007]

[Function] By hooking the earphone / microphone integrated communication device on the ear, it is not necessary to position the communication device during a call, and both hands are free during the call.

[0008]

The structure of one embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows that the present invention is used as a so-called communication device for a mobile phone, in which a code 2 is added to a mobile phone 1.
The communication device 3 is connected via. The mobile phone 1 has a power source, a communication device, and the like (not shown) built therein, and makes a wireless connection to a public line.

2 and 3, the communication device 3 has a frame 4 as a base made of a relatively flexible member, and a hook 5 formed in a curved shape to be hooked on an ear at one end thereof. A microphone 6 arranged in front of the mouth is provided at the other end of the frame 4. A small speaker 8 as an earphone is provided at the tip of the arm 7 directed from the frame 4 to the curved central portion of the hook 5.

The microphone 6 and the speaker 8 are arranged at the positions of the mouth and the ear during use. This is because the speaker 8 is relatively placed in the ear hole based on the hook 5 being hooked around the earlobe. Immediately before, the microphone 6 is also arranged relatively in front of the mouth. Further, the microphone 6 and the speaker 8 are connected to the communication device 3 through a cord (not shown) inside the hook 5 and the frame 4, and further through the cord 2.

The speaker 8 is used by arranging a small speaker in the vicinity of the ear hole, but it may be an earphone mounted in a so-called ear hole. Here, the reason why the earphone is not used is to eliminate the trouble of wearing the earphone, the discomfort of wearing the earphone, and the like. When using the earphones, the earphones are naturally attached to the ear holes for use, but in that case, the positions of the holes are different depending on the user.
It is desirable to configure the arm 7. In that respect, it is very convenient to use a small speaker for the earphone.

Further, the microphone 6 is used by arranging a small directional microphone easily covered with a sponge in front of the mouth, but the position of the mouth varies depending on the user. Therefore, by forming the extendable and retractable drawer portion 9 on the frame 4, the alignment can be performed. The lead-out portion 9 has a cord 2m for the microphone 6 therein and penetrates an opening forming an edge portion 4a of the end face of the frame 4, and is prevented from coming off by the collar portion 9a at the end portion of the lead-out portion 9. ing. Then, the pull-out portion 9 is the pull-out portion 9 and the collar portion 9a.
The inner surface of the frame 4 and the edge portion 4a of the frame 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the lead-out portion 9 are rubbed together so that they can be stretched without wobble. Similarly, the same effect can be obtained even if the arm 7 of the speaker 8 is formed to be expandable and contractible.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the communication device 3 of the present invention is used in the mobile phone 1, it is not necessary to bring a strong transmitter, which is usually in the mobile phone 1, close to the human body, and cataracts and brains caused by electromagnetic waves in daily life are not required. It is possible to prevent the onset of disorders and the like.

In the present embodiment, the microphone 6 and the speaker 8 are electrically connected to the mobile phone 1 by the cord 2 to make a call, but a wireless system may be used. Since the distance from the telephone 1 is short even during use, it may be a weak wireless device or an optical type such as infrared ray.

Naturally, this communication device can be used for an ordinary telephone. It is possible to provide a jack on the telephone and selectively use the handset of the main body and the communication device of the present invention as needed.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, a communication device comprising a frame having a hook for hooking on an earlobe, an earphone and a microphone arranged from the frame, and a connecting means for connecting them to the telephone body. By hooking the communication device on the ear, it is not necessary to position the communication device by hand during a call, and both hands are free during the call, which makes it possible to conveniently use the telephone.
