Abstract:
An adjustable ear clip device and of the type providing variable pressure on surfaces of the outer ear. The adjustable ear clip comprises two primary members: a base plate () with two opposing support ears (), and an ear-engaging member which includes an ear-engaging plate () comprising a spring tongue () and paired pivot arms (and ). The two opposing support ears () are oriented perpendicularly to the base plate (), and comprise a multiplicity of opposed apertures () of varying distances from the base plate (). The opposing support ears () may be in the form of parallel columns or an arch, and may be connected by a planar or rounded connection plate () that is substantially perpendicular to both the base plate () and the paired pivot arms (and ). In addition, the ear-engaging member comprises a substantially planar ear-engaging plate (), a spring tongue () extending from the ear-engaging plate (), and paired pivot arms (and ) extending from the ear-engaging plate () on each side of the spring tongue ().
