Patent ID: 7356156

Claim:
A chin-band receiver for receiving infrared or radio signals and transforming them into an audio transmission in the audible range, comprising: a base housing; two supporting bands connected to and extending from the base housing to respective ends; two miniature loudspeakers arranged at respective ones of the supporting band ends; wherein the miniature loudspeakers each have a loudspeaker body on an ear side of the loudspeaker, which loudspeaker body assumes a place in an auditory passage during use of the chin-band receiver with the receiver hanging vertically downwardly by its own weight; and wherein each loudspeaker body on an ear side is supported with free rotatability with respect to the associated supporting band so that variation in head position of a person using the chin-band receiver does not change the position of the loudspeakers in the auditory passages of the user.
