Patent ID: 7522743

Claim:
A communications earpiece comprising: a transducer enclosure portion; a transducer housed generally within the transducer enclosure portion; a sound horn; and a generally tubular connection member for channeling sound from the transducer enclosure portion to the sound horn; wherein the connection member has a first adjustment means for allowing rotation of the connection member relative to the transducer enclosure portion; the connection member has a second adjustment means for allowing movement of the sound horn selectively toward and/or away from the transducer enclosure portion and for allowing rotation of the sound horn in relation to the connection member; the second adjustment means includes a generally hollow cylindrical projection on the sound horn engaging a hollow cylindrical end portion on the connection member; the second adjustment means include a retainer having a raised ring on one of the hollow cylindrical projection on the sound horn and the hollow cylindrical end portion on the connection member and a retaining ridge on the other of the hollow cylindrical projection on the sound horn and the hollow cylindrical end portion on the connection member; and the raised ring abuts the retaining ridge when the sound horn is moved longitudinally away from the connection member such that the retainer facilitates positional adjustment between the sound horn and the connection member but prevents disengagement of the connection member and the sound horn.
