Bone conduction microphone mount
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A bone conduction microphone, for use in an ear, comprising:
- an inside portion, with a vibration sensor located therein, for insertion in the ear canal; and
an outside portion, attached to the inside portion, including means, adapted to abut the pinna of the ear, for resiliently pushing the inside portion against a wall of the ear canal nearest the back of the head when inserted in the ear, whereinthe means is integral with the outside portion and comprises;
a spring, releasably mounted in a bore in the outside portion; and
a pad, coupled to the spring, which abuts and exerts a force against the pinna when the spring is released.
