Wireless air tube headset
First Claim
1. A wireless air tube headset apparatus, comprising:
- a wireless transceiver operable within a radio frequency band;
an acoustic chamber having an acoustic port formed there through to the exterior thereof;
an acoustic transducer electrically coupled to said transceiver and operable to generate acoustic signals, and aligned with said acoustic chamber to emit said acoustic signals through said acoustic port;
an acoustic isolator disposed to attenuate extraneous acoustic signals emitted from said acoustic transducer and attenuate ambient noise entry into said acoustic chamber;
an acoustic conduit formed from an electrically non-conductive material, and having a first opening engaged with said acoustic port and a second opening;
an acoustic coupler engaged with said second opening of said acoustic conduit, and having a first earpiece engagement means configured as an acoustic opening adapted to engage an ear bud earpiece;
a second earpiece engagement means disposed about said earpiece engagement means and adapted to engage an ear cup earpiece;
an earpiece engaged to said first earpiece engagement means, thereby forming an electrically non-conductive acoustic path from said acoustic transducer to said earpiece, and whereinsaid acoustic path has a length to enable displacement of said transceiver and said acoustic transducer from said earpiece at a distance sufficient to yield at least a six decibel radio signal propagation power loss at said radio frequency band.

Abstract
A wireless air tube headset that includes a wireless transceiver operating in a radio frequency band, which wireless receives audio signals. The headset includes an acoustic chamber with an acoustic port through to the exterior thereof, and an acoustic transducer that is electrically coupled to the transceiver, and that operates to generate acoustic signals. The acoustic transducer is aligned with the acoustic chamber to emit the acoustic signals through the acoustic port. There is an acoustic isolator disposed to attenuate extraneous acoustic signals emitted from the acoustic transducer and also to attenuate ambient noise entry into the acoustic chamber. An acoustic conduit is formed from an electrically non-conductive material, and has a first opening engaged with the acoustic port and a second opening engaged with an acoustic coupler, which has a first earpiece engagement means. An earpiece is engaged to the first earpiece engagement means, and thereby forms an electrically non-conductive acoustic path from the acoustic transducer to the earpiece. The acoustic path has a length to enable displacement of the transceiver and the acoustic transducer from the earpiece at a distance sufficient to yield at least a six decibel radio signal propagation power loss at the radio frequency band.
