Patent ID: 8553910

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a glasses-style support structure comprising a front section and at least one side section; at least one bone-conduction speaker; and a curved cantilever spring having a proximate end and a distal end, wherein the proximate end is attached to the at least one side section, and wherein the at least one bone-conduction speaker is attached to the curved cantilever spring at or near the distal end; wherein the curved cantilever spring is coupled to the at least one side section such that when the glasses-style support structure is worn the curved cantilever spring: (a) extends to the anterior of the at least one side section, (b) locates the bone-conduction speaker posterior to an ear, and (c) exerts a force on the bone-conduction speaker towards the posterior surface of the ear; wherein the curved cantilever spring is flexible and tends to return to a natural curved shape; and wherein the proximate end of curved cantilever spring is coupled to the at least one side section at a coupling location such that when the glasses-style support structure is worn the coupling location is anterior to a location where the bone-conduction speaker contacts the ear.
