Abstract
A device for directing respired air includes a frame having a top portion, a bottom portion opposite the top portion, and at least one shoulder disposed between the top portion and the bottom portion to receive a portion of a headset. The device further includes an attachment mechanism coupled to the frame for releasably securing the frame to the headset. In addition, the device also includes a wall surface downwardly depending from the bottom portion of the frame to form a curved baffle. The curved baffle directs air corresponding to respiration toward the bottom portion of the frame, and thus toward an input interface of the headset when the frame is releasably secured to the headset.
Claims20
A device for directing respired air, the device comprising:
- a frame having a top portion, a bottom portion opposite the top portion, and at least one shoulder disposed between the top portion and the bottom portion to receive a portion of a headset, and a wall surface;
- and
- an attachment mechanism coupled to the frame, the attachment mechanism is operable to releasably secure the frame to the headset,
- wherein the wall surface of the frame downwardly extends from the bottom portion of the frame to form a curved baffle, the curved baffle is operable to direct air corresponding to respiration toward the bottom portion of the frame.
A system, comprising:
- a frame having a baffle and an interior recessed skirt that forms a shoulder operable to receive a portion of a headset;
- and
- an attachment mechanism coupled to the frame, the attachment mechanism is operable to releasably secure the frame to the headset,
- wherein the baffle downwardly extends from a bottom portion of the frame, the baffle is operable to direct air corresponding to respiration toward a bottom portion of the frame.
A method of forming a device that directs respired air, the method comprising:
- forming a frame having a top portion, a bottom portion opposite the top portion, and a wall surface;
- forming at least one shoulder disposed between the top portion and the bottom portion to receive a portion of a headset;
- forming an attachment mechanism coupled to the frame, the attachment mechanism is operable to releasably secure the frame to the headset;
- and
- forming a curved baffle by extending the wall surface downward from the bottom portion of the frame, the curved baffle is operable to direct air corresponding to respiration toward the bottom portion of the frame.
