WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/134968
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to ensure a stable wearing state on the ear, the present invention is provided with: a speaker that outputs sound; a casing having a sound guide hook in which an internal space is formed as a sound guide space for guiding the sound output from the speaker, the casing having the speaker disposed therein; and an ear fitting part provided continuously with the casing. Openings for emitting the sound toward the ear are formed in the sound guide hook. The sound guide hook is worn on the base portion of the auricle from the helix side, and the ear fitting part is worn on the base portion of the auricle from the ear lobe side. Consequently, the present invention can ensure a stable wearing condition on the ear because the sound guide hook is worn on the base portion of the auricle from the helix side and the ear fitting part is worn on the base portion of the auricle from the ear lobe side, and the sound guide hook and the ear fitting part are worn on substantially opposite sides of the ear.
