EARPHONE DEVICE HAVING BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION MEASURING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An earphone device having a biological information measuring apparatus, the earphone device comprising:
- a speaker portion;
a sensor housing rotatably coupled with the speaker portion;
a shaft provided in the speaker portion and the sensor housing to couple the speaker portion with the sensor housing to enable the speaker portion and the sensor housing to rotate together;
a support housing coupled with the shaft to pass the shaft therethrough, the support housing supporting the speaker portion and the sensor housing during rotation; and
a stopper portion provided in the shaft and the support housing to permit rotation of the speaker portion and the sensor housing and then to stop the rotation, thereby facilitating insertion into a user'"'"'s ear and urging the speaker portion to contact the user'"'"'s ear.

Abstract
An earphone device having a biological information measuring apparatus, structured to facilitate insertion into a user'"'"'s ear or to absorb vibration generated by external movement before or after the insertion. To this end, the earphone device includes a speaker portion, a sensor housing rotatably coupled with the speaker portion, a shaft provided in the speaker portion and the sensor housing to couple the speaker portion with the sensor housing such that the speaker portion and the sensor housing rotate together, a support housing coupled with the shaft to pass the shaft therethrough, the support housing supporting rotation of the speaker portion and the sensor housing, and a stopper portion provided in the shaft and the support housing to rotate the speaker portion and the sensor housing and then stop them before or after insertion into a user'"'"'s ear, thereby facilitating the insertion or urging the speaker portion to contact the user'"'"'s ear.
