## Abstract

The casing device provides at least a fastening element arranged on the outer surface of the main member of a wired single-ear headset. At least one of the fastening elements should be located above the cable opening on the main member. As such, by fixing the signal cable in one or more of the fastening elements, the signal cable is redirected upward and extended along the main member to stride over a user's ear and then hang down to connect to a mobile phone or PDA.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A casing device for a wired single-ear headset comprising:
a main member housing a circuit of said headset, said circuit connected to an electronic device by a signal cable passing through a cable opening of said main member;
a fastening element extended outward from the surface of said main member; and
a fixation member attached to said main member for positioning said main member on a user's ear;
wherein said fastening element is located above said cable opening when said main member is worn on said user's ear; and, by fixing said signal cable by said fastening element, said signal cable is redirected to stride over said user's ear and hang down to connect to said electronic device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The casing device according to claim 1, wherein said fastening element is a C-shaped clip made of a flexible material; a breach of said C-shaped clip is slightly smaller than the diameter of said signal cable; said breach allows said signal cable to be squeezed into a through hole of said C-shaped clip; said through hole of said C-shaped clip allows said signal cable to pass through.

### Claim 3

A casing device for a wired single-ear headset comprising:
a main member housing a circuit of said headset, said circuit connected to an electronic device by a signal cable passing through a cable opening of said main member, said main member having a socket on the surface of said main member;
a plugging element positioned along said signal cable between said cable opening and said electronic device; and
a fixation member attached to said main member for positioning said main member on a user's ear;
wherein said socket is located above said cable opening when said main member is worn on said user's ear; and, by plugging said plugging element into said socket, said signal cable is redirected to stride over said user's ear and hang down to connect to said electronic device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The casing device according to claim 3, wherein said socket is a plug hole; and said plugging element is a pin made of a flexible material.
