Communication unit comprising a housing () in which at least one transducer is placed, and on which a microphone arm () is suspended. The housing also has an ear hook () for fastening the communication unit to the head of a user. The microphone arm () is pivotally connected to the housing () by a hinge link () at an outer area of the housing, and so that the microphone arm () can be moved between a position in which it lies up against the housing (), and a position in which it extends away from the housing. The microphone arm has a length, which in the main is less than or of the same order as the greatest extent of the housing, so that in the folded-in state the microphone arm does not project out over the circumference of the housing.

The housing also has an ear hook () for fastening the communication unit to the head of a user. The microphone arm () is pivotally connected to the housing () by a hinge link () at an outer area of the housing, and so that the microphone arm () can be moved between a position in which it lies up against the housing (), and a position in which it extends away from the housing. The microphone arm has a length, which in the main is less than or of the same order as the greatest extent of the housing, so that in the folded-in state the microphone arm does not project out over the circumference of the housing. The communication unit can be used on both the right and the left side of the head, in that the ear hook () can be suspended in two different positions.

A headset () e.g. for use in connection with wireless communication. The housing may be constructed as two shells () which may be opened and closed so that all mechanical parts may be concealed on the housing when the headset () is not in use. The shells () may be interconnected by means of a hinge () which has an axis disposed in the same plane as the surface of the shells. Alternatively, the shells may be arranged such that the axis is disposed in a perpendicular plane. The headset () has all mechanical and electrical parts are well protected when the headset is not used.

Communication unit comprising a house in which at least one transducer is placed, and on which a microphone arm is suspended. The housing also has an ear hook for fastening the communication unit to the head of a user. The microphone arm is pivotally connected to the housing by a hinge link at an outer area of the housing, and so that the microphone arm can be moved between a position in which it lies up against the housing, and a position in which it extends away from the housing. The microphone arm has a length, which in the main is less than or of the same order as the greatest extent of the housing, so that in the folded-in state the microphone arm does not project out over the circumference of the housing. The communication unit can be used on both the right and the left side of the head, in that the ear hook can be suspended in two different positions.

Communication unit

A headset () e.g. for use in connection with wireless communication by means of Bluetooth technology in connection with mobile telephones, PSTN telephones and the like, which comprises a housing () with a transducer () in the form of a speaker, as well as a microphone () and an ear hook (). In a first embodiment, the housing may be constructed as two shells () which may be opened and closed so that all mechanical parts may be concealed on the housing when the headset () is not in use, thereby ensuring that the various parts are not damaged when the headset is stored in a pocket. The shells () may be interconnected by means of a hinge () which has an axis disposed in the same plane as the surface of the shells. Alternatively, the shells may be arranged such that the axis is disposed in a perpendicular plane relative to the surface of the shells. In a second embodiment, the housing () is formed by a closed housing from which the ear hook () and/or the microphone) may be moved in or out. The invention provides a headset () which is extremely easy to use, and where all mechanical and electrical parts are well protected when the headset is not used. Furthermore, all embodiments may be provided with a lock which may be mechanical and/or electrical, which ensures that only the right user can use the headset.
