Pickup device for picking up vibration transmitted through bones
First Claim
1. A pickup device for picking up vibration transmitted through bones comprising:
- an eyeglass-like assembly having a face-opposing member which is placed in front of a human face, a pair of supporting members one end of each of which is connected to each end of said face-opposing member and at least one nosepiece which is made into intimate contact with at least one upper side portion of the nose;
a microphone which is mounted on said face-opposing member at a suitable position for directly picking up the audio signal transmitted through bones as the solid vibration through said at least one nosepiece from said at least one upper side portion of the nose and for converting the picked up audio signal into an electrical signal; and
a flexible cord one end of which is connected electrically to said microphone and whose one portion is supported by said eyeglass-like assembly at least at one portion thereof.

Abstract
A pickup device for picking up sound generated by the vocal chords and transmitted through bones from the nasal bone. A microphone (11) is mounted on or embedded into an eyeglass-like assembly (13, 15). When the microphone is mounted as a nosepiece, it is made into direct contact with the nose so that it directly picks up vibration transmitted through the nasal bone. When the microphone is mounted on the eyeglass-like frame or embedded therein, it picks up vibration transmitted through the nosepieces and eyeglass-like frame. A cord (12) whose one end is electrically connected to the microphone is held by holding member extended from the eyeglass-like assembly (13, 15) so that the transmission of mechanical vibration to the microphone is prevented.
