SOUND RECORDABLE/PLAYABLE DEVICE, PACKAGING, AND METHOD OF USE
A portable and wearable sound recordable and playable device comprising: a front cover and a back cover, that form a housing, which includes a cavity for holding componentry; the componentry including at least a microphone and a speaker, wherein the front cover and back cover are substantially similar in shape and include a curvature so that a cavity of air is formed between the speaker and the front wall cover; wherein the front cover and the back cover when attached form an acoustic geometry.
1 . A portable and wearable sound recordable and playable device comprising:
a front cover and a back cover, that form a housing, which includes a cavity for holding componentry;
the componentry including at least a microphone and a speaker,
wherein the front cover and back cover are substantially similar in shape and include a curvature so that a cavity of air is formed between the speaker and the front wall cover;
wherein the front cover and the back cover when attached form an acoustic geometry.
2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the microphone is oriented perpendicular to a battery.
3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the microphone faces a side of the front cover, back cover, or both.
4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the speaker is mounted on a housing that is attached to the front cover.
5 . The device of claim 4 , wherein the speaker is snap fit and/or glued onto the housing.
6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the device includes a lock switch to prevent accidental erasure of messages.
7 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the lock switch is shaped in a manner so that it substantially conforms to the shape of the cover.
8 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the front cover, the back cover, or both include one or more fittings so that the front cover and the back cover can be snap fit together.
9 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the fittings are cantilever fittings.
10 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the housing is free of exposed screws.
11 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the device is capable of storing recordings that are 25 seconds or longer.
12 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the lock switch requires a force of about 10 N or more to be moved.
13 . The device of claim 5 , wherein the speaker is free of direct attachment to the printed circuit board.
14 . The device of claim 5 , wherein the speaker is indirectly attached to the printed circuit board via wires, leads, or both.
15 . The device of claim 5 , wherein the speaker support includes gaps around the circumference of the speaker so that air may move around the circumference of the speaker.
16 . The device of claim 1 , wherein sound is channeled to the microphone via an aperture and a microphone support.
17 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the acoustic geometry is enhanced by an integral microphone support that isolates the microphone from the other componentry.
