Description

DESCRIPTION

Acoustic device for optimizing ambient sound

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to an acoustic device that improves, optimizes and qualifies the reception of environmental sound waves in the human ear using the basic principles of acoustic reflection: the sound waves emitted by the air are focused, by means of this device, on the ear of the person, improving and qualifying the quality and intensity of the sound experience.

It is a simple device, easily portable and adaptable to the ears, made of rigid and flexible materials combined, and without any electronic element.

STATE OF THE ART

It is an acoustic device for essentially recreational use and enjoyment, for the general public, applicable to all kinds of environmental situations in which it is desired to intensify the quality of the sound experience: sounds of nature, concerts, opera, theater, cinema, shows, private audition of ambient music, as well as conferences, academic classes, or public and private events of any kind. Also applicable to professional uses for musicians, teachers and students, lecturers, politicians, teachers, among others.

There are certain situations in which its use is highly recommended to solve difficulties in the environmental reception of sound: places with excessive echo or acoustic reverberation, (both in open spaces and in closed rooms).

Also, in the current pandemic situation, where it is advisable to maintain the proper social safety distance, the acoustic device Ambient sound optimizer, it is very suitable for accurately capturing environmental sounds and messages in rooms, spaces and situations where distances distort or diffuse sound waves.

In general, its use is fully recommended in a multitude of environmental sound situations, to receive acoustic waves with greater clarity, quality and clarity, whether using speakers or other artificial electronic means of sound amplification, or when they are not used, being much more useful and effective in these conditions.

The Ambient Sound Optimizer may have many more useful usage scenarios that are not specifically defined here.

The applicant is not aware of any acoustic device that, in such a natural and simple way, without any electronic component, allows to experience and enjoy such an improved and optimal ambient sound experience, and that solves annoying reverberations and sound distortions so effectively and individualized as the present acoustic device -environmental sound optimizer.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of an acoustic device for optimizing ambient sound, according to the first claim. Its different variants individually optimize and improve any ambient sound situation and solve distortion, echo and acoustic reverberation situations.

The acoustic device - sound optimizer, devised following the principles of acoustic reflection, thanks to its precise concavity, reflects sound waves at its interior angle and concentrates them at a point in the direction of the ear, achieving an improvement in quality, intensity , clarity and clarity of sound.

For this, it comprises one or two hollow bodies, semi-lenticular and open in diameter. These bodies have a first side that is more domed than the second side. On this second side they have an ear insert cut. Each device is designed for either side of the user.

Preferably, the first side is paraboloid in shape with its focus close to the cut, where the opening of the ear canal will be.

In the most preferred embodiment, the cut has a padded edge. This rim can be oriented towards the ear, towards the head or in both directions.

If desired, the optimizers for both ears can be placed in a single device. In that case, it comprises two hollow bodies connected to each other by a headband, preferably extensible, a strap, an elastic band, a neck support, etc.

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figure is included.

Figure 1: Perspective view of an embodiment, from the open side, showing the beginning of a headband that joins the two bodies, each one adjusted to each ear.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, an embodiment of the invention will be briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

The example of a device shown in the figures comprises a hollow body (1), open on one side. The body (1) has a semi-lenticular shape open, with a first side (2) more domed than the other. The wall that divides the lens in two is open, so that the interior is accessible. The shape of this first side (2) can be paraboloid, with the focus arranged where the auricular canal of the ear in use will be located.

The second side (3) has a cut (4), from the open area of the semi-lens, for the insertion of an ear. The cut (4) preferably has a padded edge, to increase comfort.

The shape of the cut (4) is variable. In the figures it is shaped like a half heart, with a domed upper part and an approximately straight lower part.

The user will normally place a device in each ear, which can be connected by a strap, a cable, or by a headband (5) preferably of adjustable length, as is usual in electronic artificial sound reproduction headphones.
