Sound output device
The present technology is to improve usability. Provided is an attachment portion which includes a first pressing portion and a second pressing portion to be pressed against both surfaces of an auricle respectively and is attached to an ear in a state of sandwiching the auricle. A pair of the attachment portions is provided, and the pair of attachment portions can be engaged with each other. With this structure, the pair of attachment portions can be engaged with each other when not in use and the like, entanglement between cords or between the cords and the attachment portions can be prevented, and usability can be improved.
1. A sound output device comprising:
a housing formed by connecting a first member and a second member, wherein the housing includes a speaker arrangement portion;
a detachable body detachably attached to the housing; and
an attachment portion formed such that the speaker arrangement portion of the housing and a distal end portion of the detachable body face each other with a gap formed between, wherein the attachment portion includes a first pressing portion and a second pressing portion to be pressed against both surfaces of an auricle and attaches to an ear of a user in a state of sandwiching the auricle of the user, and wherein the sound output device can be engaged with a second sound output device in a stable state for storage, without a fastener, by arranging each respective speaker arrangement portion and sound output unit, which comprise both ends of each sound output device, into inner sides of each respective itermediate portions.
2. The sound output device according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion is formed in a bent shape in such a manner that a longitudinal direction becomes a peripheral direction, wherein the attachment portion is elastically deformable in directions in which the speaker arrangement portion of the housing and the distal end portion of the detachable body are separated from each other and contact each other, and wherein the speaker arrangement portion of the housing and the distal end portion of the detachable body comprise end portions.
3. The sound output device according to claim 2 , wherein the distal end portion of the detachable body includes the first pressing portion and the speaker arrangement portion of the housing includes the second pressing portion.
4. The sound output device according to claim 2 , wherein a portion other than both end portions of the attachment portion is provided as an intermediate portion, and wherein a distance between both end portions in the longitudinal direction is formed shorter than a maximum distance out of distances each connecting two points in an inner periphery of the intermediate portion.
5. The sound output device according to claim 3 , wherein a surface of each of the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion is formed in a curved surface projecting outward.
6. The sound output device according to claim 2 , wherein a portion other than both of the end portions in the attachment portion is provided as an intermediate portion, and wherein a maximum thickness of one end portion in the longitudinal direction and a maximum thickness of another end portion in the longitudinal direction are formed thicker than a maximum thickness of the intermediate portion.
7. The sound output device according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion has an outer surface closely covered with a cover.
8. The sound output device according to claim 7 , wherein the outer surface of the attachment portion is formed in a curved surface.
9. The sound output device according to claim 7 , wherein the cover is formed of silicon.
10. The sound output device according to claim 7 , wherein the cover is formed of rubber.
