Multi-directional adjustment devices for speaker mounts for eyeglass with MP3 player
First Claim
1. An eyeglass comprising a frame defining first and second orbitals, first and second lenses disposed in the first and second orbitals, respectively, first and second ear stems extending rearwardly from the frame, the first and second ear stems including first and second adjustment devices, respectively, first and second acoustic transducer assemblies supported by the first and second adjustment devices, respectively, the first and second adjustment devices being configured to allow the first and second acoustic transducer assemblies to be translated along first and second translation directions generally parallel to the first and second ear stems and to be pivoted about first and second pivot axes extending generally parallel to the first and second ear stems, such that the adjustment devices allow the first and second acoustic transducers to be pivoted about the pivot axes while restraining translational movement of the first and second acoustic transducers along the translation directions.

- 1. An eyeglass comprising a frame defining first and second orbitals, first and second lenses disposed in the first and second orbitals, respectively, first and second ear stems extending rearwardly from the frame, the first and second ear stems including first and second adjustment devices, respectively, first and second acoustic transducer assemblies supported by the first and second adjustment devices, respectively, the first and second adjustment devices being configured to allow the first and second acoustic transducer assemblies to be translated along first and second translation directions generally parallel to the first and second ear stems and to be pivoted about first and second pivot axes extending generally parallel to the first and second ear stems, such that the adjustment devices allow the first and second acoustic transducers to be pivoted about the pivot axes while restraining translational movement of the first and second acoustic transducers along the translation directions.
- 12. An eyeglass comprising a frame defining at least one lens support, at least a first lens supported by the lens support, first and second ear stems extending rearwardly from the lens support, first and second rods connected to the first and second ear stems, respectively, first and second acoustic transducer assemblies comprising first and second acoustic transducers disposed lower ends thereof, respectively, and first and second upper ends connected to the first and second rods, respectively, the connections between the ear stems, rods, and upper ends being configured to allow the acoustic transducer assemblies to be translated along first and second translation directions generally parallel to the first and second ear stems and to be pivoted about first and second pivot axes extending generally parallel to the first and second ear stems, wherein the connections between the first ear stem, the first rod, and the first upper end is also configured to generate a first resistance against movement when the first acoustic transducer is urged by a wearer of the eyeglass along the first translation direction and a second resistance to movement when the acoustic transducer is urged by a wearer to pivot about the first pivot axis, the first resistance being higher than the second resistance.
