Patent ID: 7653207

Claim:
A spreading head harness for headphones or a head set, comprising a first and a second harness member each with a substantially arc-shaped curvature and a first and a second connection member for receiving headphone ear pieces, each harness member comprising: a first and a second end area; a flexible spring region for elastic widening and contraction of the harness member having a longitudinal axis; said first and second end areas being twisted relative to the spring region around the longitudinal axis of the spring region and bent relative to the arc-shaped curvature for generating a mechanical tension in the harness member; wherein the first end areas of the first and second harness member are connected to the first connection member; wherein the second end areas of the first and second harness member are connected to the second connection member; wherein in a first operating position the first and second harness member extend substantially parallel to each other; wherein in a second operating position, when the connection members are pulled away from each other and the flexible spring region of the first and second harness member are widened, the first and second harness member are spread from each other due to a mechanical tension in the end areas of the first and second harness member.
