AUDIO HEADSET HAVING INTERNAL CORD MANAGEMENT FEATURES AND RELATED TECHNOLOGY

摘要

A headset in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology includes a headpiece, an earpiece, an arm extending therebetween, and a cord extending through the arm. The arm includes elongate first and second segments through which the arm is operably connected to the earpiece and the headpiece, respectively. The first and second segments have a telescoping arrangement such that the arm is movable between a lengthened state and a shortened state. The arm further includes a hinge operable to rotate the arm about an axis and thereby move the arm relative to the headpiece between a folded state and an unfolded state. Increased slack in the cord preferentially gathers within an interior region of the second segment when the arm moves from the lengthened state toward the shortened state and when the arm moves from the folded state toward the unfolded state.

主权项

1. A headset, comprising:
a headpiece; an earpiece; an arm extending between the headpiece and the earpiece, wherein the arm is movable between a lengthened state and a shortened state, and wherein the arm includes—
an elongate first segment through which the arm is operably connected to the earpiece, the first segment having a first end portion and an opposite second end portion further from the earpiece than the first end portion, andan elongate second segment through which the arm is operably connected to the headpiece, the second segment defining an interior region within which the second end portion of the first segment is disposed and longitudinally movable; and a cord extending between the headpiece and the earpiece through the arm, wherein increased slack in the cord preferentially gathers within the interior region of the second segment when the arm moves from the lengthened state toward the shortened state.
