Patent ID: 8170262

Claim:
A wireless air tube headset apparatus, comprising: a wireless transceiver operable within a radio frequency band; an acoustic chamber having an acoustic port formed there through to the exterior thereof; an acoustic transducer electrically coupled to said transceiver and operable to generate acoustic signals, and aligned with said acoustic chamber to emit said acoustic signals through said acoustic port; an acoustic isolator disposed to attenuate extraneous acoustic signals emitted from said acoustic transducer and attenuate ambient noise entry into said acoustic chamber; an acoustic conduit formed from an electrically non-conductive material, and having a first opening engaged with said acoustic port and a second opening; an acoustic coupler engaged with said second opening of said acoustic conduit, and having a first earpiece engagement means configured as an acoustic opening adapted to engage an ear bud earpiece; a second earpiece engagement means disposed about said earpiece engagement means and adapted to engage an ear cup earpiece; an earpiece engaged to said first earpiece engagement means, thereby forming an electrically non-conductive acoustic path from said acoustic transducer to said earpiece, and wherein said acoustic path has a length to enable displacement of said transceiver and said acoustic transducer from said earpiece at a distance sufficient to yield at least a six decibel radio signal propagation power loss at said radio frequency band.
