Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain pleasant simultaneous transmission and reception, by providing an oscillator element which is kept in an ear plug in parallel with an ear plug shaft and picks up a bone conduction audio signal, and balancing a reception sound pressure leaked to a pickup element. CONSTITUTION:In an ear plug 1, a horn 3 is formed at the front end of a cylindrical external auditory miatus insertion section 2, a holder 6 is fixed at the back side in the ear plug 1 and a vibration pickup element 7 is kept with the holder 6. Thus, a bone conduction sound signal through utterance is transmitted to the element 7 via the ear plug 1 and the holder 6 and can be transmitted via an amplifier 13 or directly to an output cord 14. Further, the sound pressure due to sound from a receiver 16 or a signal passes through sound paths 17, 19 and branched sound paths 20, 21 and can be listened from the horn 3 through the change in the sound pressure in the ear. The paths 20, 21 are symmetrically provided at both sides of the element 7 and unnecessary outputs due to the sound pressure from the paths 20, 21 to the element 7 are equal with each other to be cancelled. Thus, signals transmitted through bone can surely be transmitted without being affected with the sound pressure of reception of signals.

Conventionally, when a bone conduction microphone in which a vibration pickup element for picking up a bone conduction sound signal is supported in a cantilevered manner is also used for listening to a received voice, for example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 2/-1989-127489. A sound conduction path for introducing the receiving sound pressure is provided on the outer periphery of the earplug, or a sound conduction hole is formed at the base of the earplug as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-142091. A method is adopted in which the received sound is guided along the outer circumferential surface of the stopper. However, in the former method, since the sound conduction path and the vibration pickup element are both one piece, the vibration pickup element is vibrated by the receiving sound pressure from the sound conduction path, and unnecessary reception occurs in the bone conduction microphone. There was a drawback that the output could not be suppressed sufficiently. On the other hand, in the latter method, since the sound guide holes are provided radially, it is possible to reduce the sound pressure against the vibration pickup element, but the sound guide path is blocked depending on how the earplug is attached to the ear canal. This has the drawback that the incoming call cannot be heard reliably.

At this time, the branched sound guide path 20.21' is heard in 5 ways. As described above, since they are provided symmetrically on both sides of the vibration pickup element 7, unnecessary outputs due to sound pressure from each branched sound guide path 2° and 21 to the vibration pickup element are equal and can be canceled out. Therefore, the bone conduction audio signal can be reliably transmitted without being affected by the receiving sound pressure or the sound pressure caused by the signal.The position of the branched sound guide path 20°210 may be various in addition to the position of this embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
