Headband and a method for producing the headband

1. A method for producing a headband for a headset, the headband comprising a carrier and suspension and being configured to carry at least one earcup of the headset, the method comprising the steps of:

providing the carrier;

arranging the carrier in an injection molding tool;

forming the suspension from a rubber material by overmolding, such that the suspension forms at least two attachment points to the carrier at a first suspension end and a second suspension end that are equally distanced from a midpoint of the carrier,

wherein the suspension forms a head pad extending between the first suspension end and the second suspension end, and

wherein the suspension is configured to rest at and abut the top of the user's head when the headband is in use.

2. A method for producing a headband for a headset according to claim 1 , wherein overmolding the rubber material around the carrier is performed in one process step.

3. A method for producing a headband for a headset according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of molding at least one telescopic extension for the headband.

4. A method for producing a headband for a headset according to claim 3 , further comprising a step of assembling the at least one telescopic extension onto the headband.

5. A method for producing a headband for a headset according to claim 1 , wherein overmolding the rubber material around the carrier comprises:

overmolding the rubber material around the carrier to form the two attachment points; and

providing the head pad spaced from the carrier, the head pad being configured to rest on the wearer's head;

whereby a portion of the carrier between the two attachment points is configured to hover over the head pad and the wearer's head.

6. A method for producing a headband for a headset according to claim 1 , wherein the suspension is overmolded around the carrier to completely encapsulate the carrier.

7. A headband for a headset produced by the method according to claim 1 .

8. A headband for a headset, the headband being configured to carry at least one earcup of the headset, the headband comprising:

a carrier curved to conform to any wearer's head, and

a suspension,

wherein the suspension is formed from a rubber material by overmolding, and being attached to the carrier at at least two attachment points,

wherein the suspension forms a head pad and is configured to rest at and abut the wearer's head at a top portion when the headband is in use, and

wherein the two attachment points are adjustably arranged at an equally spaced distance from a midpoint of the carrier.

9. A headband for a headset according to claim 8 , wherein the carrier and the suspension contribute to a clamping force of the headband.

10. A headband for a headset according to claim 8 , wherein the suspension comprises a first rubber material part and a second rubber material part, the first rubber material part forming the attachment points, the second rubber material part being spaced from the first rubber material part, the second rubber material part being configured to rest on the wearer's head, and whereby the first rubber material part is configured to hover over the second rubber material part and the wearer's head.

11. A headband for a headset according to claim 10 , wherein the headband further comprises at least one telescopic extension slideably arranged onto one end of the headband.

12. A headband for a headset according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one telescopic extension is arranged onto the headband by means of a hook.

13. A headband according to claim 10 , wherein the second rubber material part has a concave shape seen in cross-section facing towards the first rubber part.

14. A headband for a headset according to claim 8 , further comprising a headphone unit and an electrical cable attached to the carrier, the electrical cable being configured for electrically connecting the headphone unit and the earcup.

15. A headband for a headset according to claim 8 , wherein the carrier is a metal carrier formed in a bended shape.
