Abstract:
An audio device for insertion into an ear canal of a user that includes an adjustable ear tip. The ear tip is formed by a sleeve disposed on a body of the audio device with a first end of the sleeve coupled to an output end of the body. An opposite second end of the sleeve is coupled to a collar that encircles and threadably engages the body. In a retracted state, the sleeve lies alongside an exterior surface of the body. Rotation of the collar relative to the body moves the collar axially along the body and flexes the sleeve radially outward away from the body. An extent of rotation of the collar is selectable to provide a radial dimension of the sleeve and thus the ear tip that provides a suitable fit of the audio device with a user's ear canal.

Claim (Index 18):
An audio device with an adjustable ear tip, the audio device comprising:\n a body having an at least partially cylindrical form with an output end through which an audible output produced by the audio device is directed, and a track formed in an exterior surface of the body and extending at least partially axially along the body; a sleeve that at least partially overlies an exterior surface of the body, the sleeve having a leading end and a trailing end, the leading end being retained against axial movement relative to the body, the trailing end being movable axially toward the leading end, movement of the trailing end toward the leading end expanding at least a portion of the sleeve radially outward from the body to provide an ear tip with a first radial dimension; and a collar disposed at least partially between the trailing end of the sleeve and the body and including a track-engagement feature configured to engage and follow the track as the trailing end of the sleeve is moved toward the leading end.
