Ear cup
First Claim
1. An ear cup for a hearing protection unit with means for sound reproduction via a loudspeaker, comprising:
- a first cup portion which defines a noise damping space facing towards a user, the first cup portion having, along a periphery, sealing means for abutment against a head of the wearer, and a noise absorbent interiorly in the noise damping space, anda second, outer cup portion for defining a space for accommodating electronics and/or a current source, the noise damping space and the space for accommodating electronics and/or a current source being separated by means of a partition,wherein the partition is of one piece manufacture with the first cup portion and is substantially closed, the loudspeaker is secured in a bracket which has a fixing portion produced from an elastic, yieldable material, which, under sealing, is fixable in an opening in the partition, and an electric supply conductor for the loudspeaker is included in the fixing portion.

Abstract
An ear cup for a hearing protection unit including an inner cup portion which defines a noise damping space facing towards the user. The ear cup further has an outer cup portion for accommodating electronics and/or a current source. The inner cup portion and the outer cup portion are separated by a partition which is of one piece manufacture with the inner cup portion. The partition is substantially closed, with the exception of an opening in which a fixing portion on a bracket is disposed. The fixing portion (9) has a central channel (15) for the passage of supply conductors to a loudspeaker. The supply conductors have a contact placed on the outside of the partition for connection of the electronics. The bracket also has a baffle plate which extends along the periphery of the loudspeaker.
