20210314705 · 2021-10-07 · ·

A wearable device including a body having one or more embedded electronic components, the body further including a thermoset material having a polymeric backbone with at least one urethane linkage and a glass transition temperature. At a first temperature that is lower than the glass transition temperature, the body has an original shape. When the body is heated to a second temperature that is higher than the glass transition temperature, the body is deformable from the original shape to a first shape and when the body is cooled to a third temperature that is lower than the glass transition temperature, the first shape is maintained. The body is further configured to transition from the first shape to the original shape when the body is heated from the third temperature to a fourth temperature that is higher than the glass transition temperature.

EARPHONE
20210289284 · 2021-09-16 ·

The present invention relates to an earphone, comprising an earphone body, an earphone cord, and a fixing member. The earphone body includes an earplug portion, a connecting portion, and a body portion. The fixing member shaped as a ring, and the middle portion of the ring includes a through hole. The fixing member includes a top wall located at an edge of the ring. The top wall is made of an elastic material. Among them, the connecting portion is connected to the earplug portion and the body portion. The connecting portion passes through the through hole and is fastened in the fixing member, and the fixing member and the connecting portion are members of the earphone that are placed in the cavitas conchae of the human ear. The beneficial effects of the present invention are that since the top wall of the fixing portion is made of a material that is susceptible to deformation, adaptive deformation is performed to match the different cavitas conchae, when subjected to the compression of the cavitas conchae. Thus, this improves the comfort of the earphones.
