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 1):
A securing mechanism for an audio signal transmitting device, 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; said adjustable securing mechanism being configured for positioning and maintaining said base at a distance from a location along the internal space or opening; and wherein a least a portion of said adjustable securing mechanism being configured to transition from a first state to a securing state when inserted into the internal space or opening, said securing state comprising at least a portion of said adjustable securing mechanism being constrained to have a smaller dimension transverse to the longitudinal axis relative to a dimension transverse to the longitudinal axis in said first state; and wherein said adjustable securing mechanism comprises a plurality of flattened members, each of said plurality of flattened members having a flat contact surface configured to contact the surface of the internal space or opening.
