Abstract
A sound-wave collector includes a headframe secured to a pair of retainers held on two opposite sides of a user's head adjacent to the user's two ears, a pair of reflectors each pivotally secured on each retainer and universally positioned behind each ear of the user's two ears each reflector extrapolatively diverging from the area of each user's ear outwardly and sidewardly, and an adjusting controller operatively adjusting a deflecting angle of the two reflectors for efficiently collecting or catching audible sound waves of multiple frequency ranges and reflecting the caught sound waves inwardly into the user's ears for enjoying the music sounding of high fidelity.
Claims8
A sound-wave collector comprising:
- a headframe secured to a pair of retainer means disposed on two opposite side portions of a wearer's head adjacent to the wearer's two ears;
- and
- a pair of reflector means each said reflector means universally pivotally secured to each said retainer means and generally positioned behind each wearer's ear, each said reflector means having a reflecting area extrapolatively diverging outwardly sidewardly from a contour of each wearer's ear to be operatively oriented about each said retainer means for adjusting a deflecting angle of each said reflector means from each said wearer's ear for efficiently reflecting incoming sound waves of multiple frequency ranges into the wearer's ear;
- each said reflector means operatively biased for adjusting its reflecting angle by an adjusting means which includes a driving pulley, and a follower pulley operatively driven by said driving pulley for rotating said reflector means for adjusting its deflecting angles through at least a wire;
- said headframe 1 including:
- an overhead bracket having two base members 12 disposed on two opposite end portions of the overhead bracket 11, a fastener belt 13 fastened on a wearer's head H having two ends of the belt 13 respectively secured to the two base members 12, and a pair of head coupling members 16 each said coupling member 16 secured to the base member 12 and pivotally secured to each retainer means 2 adjacent to the wearer's ear E;
- said fastener belt 13 having its each end portion secured to a slide member 14 adjustably slidably held on each said base member 12, and each said slide member 14 including a stem 141 protruding outwardly through a slot 121 notched in the base member 12 to be connected with a push button 15 slidably held on an upper surface of the base member 12, and having a lateral extension 142 transversely formed on the slide member to be engageable with a plurality of teeth 122 longitudinally formed on a bottom surface of the base member 12 for a slidable engagement between the slide member 14 and the base member 12 for adjusting the tightness of the belt 13 worn on the wearer's head H by depressing D and moving the push button 15 on the base member 12;
- and
- each said retainer means 2 including:
- a holding plate 21 contacting a side portion of the wearer's head adjacent to the wearer's ear E, a first socket 22 recessed in an upper portion of the holding plate 21 for universally coupling the head coupling member 16 in the first socket 22, a second socket 23 recessed in a rear portion of the holding plate 21 for universally coupling a reflector coupling member 332 of each said reflector means 3, and a locking member 24 for locking the reflector coupling member 332 in the second socket 23 once an orientation of the reflector means 3 on the retainer means 2 is set.
