Abstract:
Securing mechanisms for space access devices, such as an audio signal transmitting device, include a plurality of flattened members that are configured to transition from a relaxed state to a securing state when the space access device is inserted into an internal space or opening that has an inside diameter smaller than an outside diameter of the flattened members in the relaxed state. The flattened members securely engage a surface of the internal space and conform to the shape and size of the internal space. An amount of force applied by the flattened members to the surface of the internal space can be tuned by changing a stiffness of a rib supporting the flattened member.

Claim (Index 19):
A kit comprising a plurality of securing mechanisms for an audio signal transmitting device, each said securing mechanism comprising:\n a base comprising a longitudinal axis and an outer surface; and an adjustable securing mechanism disposed on at least a portion of said base, said securing mechanism being configured to contact a surface of an internal space or opening into which said securing mechanism is inserted; wherein said adjustable securing mechanism comprises a row of leaflets arranged circumferentially around said base and separated by gaps; wherein said each said leaflet has a length dimension extending in a direction radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis, a width dimension extending transverse to the longitudinal axis, a depth dimension extending normal to said width dimension, a flat contact surface configured to contact the surface of the internal space or opening and a rib extending in a length direction of said leaflet; wherein said width dimension is greater than said depth dimension; wherein said ribs of each said securing mechanism have stiffnesses different from said ribs of at least one other of said securing mechanisms.
