20150358714 | Earbuds Conduit - The growing personal music player industry has resulted in more and more consumers using the in-ear “earbuds” to listen to their music. While the “earbud” headphone design varies slightly from one manufacturer to another the same basic characteristics are consistent. A plug is used to connect the headphones to the music player. A wire running from the plug to a point where the two “earbuds” split is referred to as the “y-junction”. From the y-junction a single wire terminates with the earbud itself. One main benefit of this type of headphone versus the conventional over-the-ear headphones is the compact design and ability to store them when not in use. However, when stored, the wires tend to become tangled and crimped, making them difficult to readily access. This invention will address the problem by placing the wire portion of the headphone in a continuous conduit that will make tangling nearly impossible. The conduit will be designed as an aftermarket product that can accommodate nearly all types of earbuds. | 12-10-2015 |
