Abstract
A wearable electronic device including an ear device is disclosed. The wearable electronic device includes an earpiece configured to convert an electrical signal into a sound signal, and an ear device configured to be connected to the earpiece. The ear device includes a first tip member configured to be connected to the earpiece, a second tip member configured to surround at least a portion of the first tip member, and a guide ring configured to be interposed between at least a portion of the first tip member and at least a portion of the second tip member, the guide ring is formed of an elastic material and is movable between a first end portion of the first tip member connected to the earpiece and a second end portion positioned on a side opposite to the first end portion.
Claims22
A wearable electronic device comprising:
- an earpiece configured to convert an electrical signal into a sound signal;
- and
- an ear device configured to be connected to the earpiece,
- wherein the ear device comprises:
- a first tip member configured to be connected to the earpiece;
- a second tip member configured to surround at least a portion of the first tip member;
- and
- a guide ring configured to be interposed between at least a portion of the first tip member and at least a portion of the second tip member,
- wherein the guide ring is formed of an elastic material and is movable between a first end portion of the first tip member connected to the earpiece and a second end portion of the first tip member opposite to the first end portion,
- wherein an outer diameter of the first tip member decreases from the first end portion toward the second end portion, and
- wherein the first tip member is formed of a material having a greater hardness than the guide ring, and the guide ring is formed of a material having a greater hardness than the second tip member.
An ear device comprising:
- a first tip member comprising a first end portion configured to be connected to an earpiece configured to convert an electrical signal into a sound signal;
- a second tip member configured to surround at least a portion of the first tip member;
- and
- a guide ring interposed between at least a portion of the first tip member and at least a portion of the second tip member,
- wherein the guide ring is formed of an elastic material and is movable between the first end portion of the first tip member and a second end portion of the first tip member opposite to the first end portion.
An ear device comprising:
- a first tip member;
- a second tip member configured to surround at least a portion of the first tip member;
- and
- a guide ring movably positioned between the first tip member and the second tip member and configured to move a partial area of the second tip member in a direction away from or a direction toward the first tip member,
- wherein an outer diameter of the first tip member varies along a first direction perpendicular to a direction in which the second tip member is disposed on the first tip member.
