Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a height adjustment arrangement for an ear cup in a hearing protector unit, and especially to an arrangement related to the locking of an ear cup in a certain height position.
- Ear cups are normally used in hearing protector units. Two ear cups may be connected via a connection unit to a head band to form a hearing protector unit, or be connected via a connection unit to a helmet to form a helmet including a hearing protector unit. For the hearing protector unit to function properly, the ear cups should be placed at a certain location over the user's ears. Due to different head shapes of different users, the ear cups need to be adjustable in height relative to the head band or helmet. Even a small misplacement of the ear cup over the user's ear may provide a significant loss in the sound-attenuating function of the hearing protector unit.
- connection unit as a height adjustment arrangement comprising a steel wire that is connected to an ear cup via a plastic and/or rubber holder.
- the holder is designed to provide a friction force between the steel wire and the holder.
- a user may pull or push the ear cup to a desired height with a force larger than the friction force.
- the friction force between the parts in the height adjustment arrangement will hold the ear cup at that height during use of the hearing protector unit.
- a problem with such height adjustment arrangement for an ear cup in a hearing protector unit is that the parts in the height adjustment arrangement, i.e. the holder and the steel wire, may be worn out over time such that the friction force will be reduced.
- the ear cups in the hearing protector unit will eventually drop to maximum extended position of the height adjustment arrangement, irrespectively which height of the ear cups the user tries to set. I.e. the friction force trying to hold the ear cup at a certain height becomes less than the force of gravity provided by the ear cup.
- the ear cups are not correctly positioned at the user's ears, resulting in that the sound-attenuating function of the hearing protector unit will be significantly impaired.
- This problem may be extra significant for electronic hearing protector units which contain heavy batteries that may increase the force of gravity reverse of the friction force during use of the hearing protector unit. Further, such problem will make the hearing protector unit very uncomfortable for the user due to the unsatisfactory fit.
- the same problem may be caused by differences in production tolerances of the steel wire and the holder. A small difference in the thickness of steel wires for such height adjustment arrangements would cause different friction forces between a steel wire and a holder. Therefore, a very small tolerance in the steel wire diameter is needed to secure a correct friction force when arranged to the holder.
- US1329658 discloses a telephone headband hearing unit with a connection unit that may be used in a hearing protector unit.
- the connection unit comprises a holder with a hollow interior for receiving a part from the head band.
- the connection unit further comprises a nut cap adapted to integrate with the holder.
- the holder and the nut cap each comprises a tapering part, in a truncated cone shape, provided with threads to integrate with each other.
- Such solution alleviates some of the problems above with friction dependency.
- the solution in US1329658 has a problem in that the connection between the holder and the nut cap may be insecure.
- a height adjustment arrangement for an ear cup in a hearing protector unit comprises an elongated member adapted to be coupled in a first end to a head mounting portion of a hearing protector unit, and a tubular holding member connected to the elongated member, the tubular holding member being adapted to be coupled in a first end to an ear cup, wherein the holding member provides a substantially hollow interior adapted to receive a second end of the elongated member.
- a relative movement between the elongated member and the holding member provides a height adjustment of an ear cup relative to a head mounting portion.
- the height adjustment arrangement further comprises a clamping member, wherein the clamping member is arranged to be moved from an unlocked position, in which position relative movement between the elongated member and the holding member is enabled, to a locking position, in which position relative movement between the elongated member and the holding member is prevented.
- the clamping member is further adapted to, when in the locking position, be attached to the holding member such that the clamping member presses a second end of the holding member towards the elongated member to prevent relative movement between the elongated member and the holding member.
- the holding member comprises a first locking member, wherein the second end of the holding member is provided with two flanges tapering in a direction towards the clamping member, and wherein the first locking member and the flanges are axially separated.
- the clamping member comprises a hollow interior with a tapering part, which tapers in a direction away from the holding member, and a second locking member, wherein the tapering part and the second locking member are axially separated.
- the clamping member may prevent the relative movement between the holding member and the elongated member in a locking position, and enable the same movement in an unlocked position, the arrangement may not be sensitive to wear of the parts in the arrangement. Contrary the prior art solution wherein the arrangement both enables relative movement of the parts, and holds the parts in a set position at the same time, only a little wear to the parts would cause the arrangement to lose the function of holding the parts in a set position.
- the holder When the clamping member is in the unlocked position, the holder may be moved relative to the elongated member. Thereby the ear cup may be moved relative to the elongated member and the head mounting portion.
- a head mounting portion may be a headband connected to the height adjustment arrangement.
- the head mounting portion may alternatively be a helmet or the like, adapted to be worn by a user, and connected to the height adjustment arrangement.
- larger tolerances for the elongated member diameter may be possible, since two different positions of the clamping member enables or prevents the movement between the elongated member and the holding member.
- the elongated member may be a wire member, such as a steel wire.
- the friction between the holding member and the elongated member may be increased to a level such that the relative movement between the two members is prevented.
- a friction force between the holding member and the elongated member that is much larger than the gravity force by the ear cups may prevent the gravity force for affecting the position of the holding member relative to the elongated member.
- the friction force may be of an amount such that a user cannot move the holder relative to the elongated member by hand.
- the tapering inner surface of the clamping member may provide that the holding member is pressed harder towards the elongated member the further towards the locking position the clamping member is moved.
- the flanges of the holding member tapers in a direction towards the clamping member, a more even gradual pressing action by the clamping member on the flanges may be achieved.
- the flanges may taper towards the end of the holding member.
- the clamping member may be kept in the locking position by means of the locking members integrating with each other.
- the friction force in the locking position may be secured.
- the set position of the holding member relative to the elongated member may be kept.
- the clamping member may be moved from the locking position.
- the clamping member may be moved to the unlocked position such that the holding member may be moved relative to the elongated member.
- the first locking member and the second locking member may be separated from each other when the clamping member is in the unlocked position.
- the locking members may be provided in a shape that enables a secure and robust integration.
- Locking members that are provided on tapering parts may suffer from being insecure and may be loose, especially during integration when the clamping member is moved towards the locking position.
- the integration between locking members may further in such case be unstable due to flexibility in the flanges.
- Axially separated locking members and tapering part/flanges may result in non-tapering locking members.
- the locking members may be provided on a straight portion of the holding member and the interior of the clamping member respectively. This may provide a secure integration between the locking members.
- the amount of force with which the clamping member may press the second end of the holding member towards the elongated member may be adjustable.
- the friction force between the holding member and the elongated member may be adjustable.
- a continuous movement from the unlocked position to the locking position may be achieved.
- a position of the clamping member may be possible wherein relative movement between the holding member and the elongated member is enabled at the same time as the holding member may be held in a set position by the set friction force.
- the friction force is thereby larger than the gravity force, but a user may move the holding member relative to the elongated member by overriding the friction force. If the holding member and/or the elongated member may be worn out such that the friction force is reduced, the clamping member may, due to the continuous adjustability, be adjusted such that the friction force may be increased again.
- the holding member may be provided with at least one slit at the second end of the holding member.
- a slit at the end of the tubular shaped holding member may provide that the circumference of the holding member may be flexible and may be compressed. Thereby, a larger friction force may be achieved when the clamping member presses the end of the holding member towards the elongated member.
- the holding member may be provided with two slits at the second end of the holding member.
- the circumference of the holding member may become even more flexible and may easier be compressed when being pressed against the elongated member.
- a larger friction force may thereby be achieved by the clamping member pressing the holding member towards the elongated member.
- the two slits may provide two flanges at the second end of the holding member, wherein the clamping member may be adapted to, in the locking position, be attached to the holding member such that the clamping member may press the two flanges at the second end of the holding member towards the elongated member to prevent movement of the elongated member relative to the holding member.
- the flanges may be flexible such that they may be movable in a radial direction of the holding member. Thereby, the clamping member may press the flanges towards the elongated member to prevent the relative movement between the holding member and the elongated member.
- the elongated member may extend between the two flanges.
- the clamping member may radially press the holding member towards the elongated member.
- the elongated member extending through the tubular holding member may be prevented from movement relative the holding member when the holding member may be radially pressed towards the elongated member.
- the holding member may be resilient such that it may be pressed radially towards the elongated member.
- the clamping member may be arranged to, when moved from the unlocked position to the locking position, move along an axial direction of the elongated member.
- the clamping member may be coaxial with the elongated member.
- the clamping member may thereby move along the extension of the elongated member when moving between the unlocked position and the locking position.
- the clamping member may further be coaxial with the holding member and move along an axial direction of the holding member when moving from the unlocked position to the locking position.
- first locking member may be outer threads on the holding member and the second locking member may be inner threads in an interior of the clamping member, said outer and inner threads may be adapted for thread engagement with each other.
- the inner and outer threads may engage along with the clamping member moving along the axial direction of the elongated member.
- the clamping member may thereby be screwed onto the holding member, pressing the holding member radially towards the elongated member.
- the clamping member may be screwed onto the holding member until it locks the clamping member in the locking position.
- unscrewing the clamping member from the holding member, releasing the threaded engagement between the locking members the clamping member may be moved to the unlocked position, enabling relative movement between the holding member and the elongated member.
- the pressing force by the clamping member on the second end of the holding member towards the elongated member may be adapted to increase along with an increased threaded engagement between the clamping member and the holding member.
- the friction force between the holding member and the elongated member may increase until a friction force needed for preventing relative movement between the holding member and the elongated member is reached. If either of the holding member and/or the elongated member would be worn out, the threaded engagement between the clamping member and the holding member may be tightened to compensate for the wear.
- An adjustable friction force may thereby be provided by the threaded engagement of the locking members. The further the clamping member may be screwed onto the holding member, the harder the holding member may be pressed towards the elongated member. The adjustable friction force may further be used for compensating for a high tolerance in elongated member diameter.
- first and second locking members together form a bayonet coupling.
- the clamping member may thereby in an alternative way be locked to the holding member in the locking position.
- the clamping member and the holding member may respectively be provided with corresponding parts of a bayonet coupling.
- the bayonet coupling may be released to be able to move the clamping member to the unlocked position.
- a hearing protector unit comprising at least one ear cup, a head mounting portion and at least one height adjustment arrangement for said ear cup according to any of the claims 1 -14.
- the height adjustment arrangement may be connected with a first end to the head mounting portion and with a second end to the at least one ear cup.
- a hearing protector unit may thereby be achieved wherein the ear cup may be adjusted in height relative to the head mounting portion to a position most suitable for a user.
- the ear cup may be held in that position in a secure way.

- the height adjustment arrangement 100 comprises, as illustrated in fig 2 and 3a, a holder 1 10, a nut cap 120 and a steel wire 130.
- the holder 1 10 is tubular and has a hollow interior 1 1 1 that is adapted to receive a second end 132 of the steel wire 130.
- the two slits thereby form two flanges 1 15a, 1 15b.
- the flanges 1 15a, 1 15b are flexible in a radial direction.
- first locking member 1 14 axially separated from the flanges 1 15a, 1 15b.

- the nut cap 120 when the second locking member 122 and the first locking member 1 14 are not engaged, the nut cap 120 is in an unlocked position.
- the unlocked position of the nut cap 120 enables movement of the steel wire 130 relative to the holder 1 10.
- the steel wire 130 can then be pushed further into the hollow interior 1 1 1 of the holder, or pulled out of the holder 1 10.
- the height of the ear cup 10 is adjusted relative to the head band 30 of the hearing protector unit 1 .
- the force provided by the nut cap 120 pressing the holder 1 10 towards the steel wire 130 will continuously increase when the nut cap 120 is engaged with the holder 1 10.
- the friction between the holder 1 10, i.e. the flanges 1 15a, 1 15b, and the steel wire 130 increases.
- the friction will be of such amount that the steel wire 130 is locked relative to the holder 1 10.
- the nut cap 120 is thereby in a locking position, preventing a relative movement between the steel wire 130 and the holder 1 10.
- Fig 3b illustrates the engagement between the nut cap 120 and the holder 1 10 such that the steel wire 130 is clamped between the flanges 1 15a, 1 15b of the holder 1 10.
