 Microphone mounting support

Details

The mounting support (2) consists of a U-shaped clamping strap. A holder (4) carrying the microphone (5) is mounted displaceably to the curved portion (3) of the clamping strap (2). The axial direction (7) of the microphone (5) wherein the latter has its maximum sensitivity can be adjusted with respect to the sound source by displacing the microphone holder (4) along the curved strap portion (3). The extremely simple, economically producible microphone mounting support permits accurate adjustment of the direction of maximum sensitivity to the sound source, independently of the position of the object to which the mounting support is fastened; this is important for a transmission free of feedback, especially during hand-free two-way communication.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A mounting support for mounting a microphone in selected positions comprising; a holder (4) for receiving the microphone (5); a curved strap portion (3; 21) having broad top and bottom surfaces, relatively thin opposite side edges, and opposite ends; means (8, 9; 23, 24, 25) connected to said opposite ends of said curved strap portion for mounting the same to a surface; said holder having a pair of jaws (6) extending below the microphone and around said opposite side edges of said curved strap portion in sliding engagement therewith; a recess (11; 22) in at least one of said relatively thin opposite side edges adjacent one of the opposite ends of said curved strap portion (3; 21) producing thereat a zone (12) in the broad top and bottom surfaces of the curved strap portion narrower than the distance between said pair of jaws (6) at which the jaws (6) and holder (4) can be connected to and detached from said curved strap portion; whereby said holder is displaceable along said curved strap portion to orient the microphone in selected position.
2.
Mounting support according to claim 1, characterized in that the curved strap portion (3; 21) has an at least approximately circular-arc-shaped curvature.
3.
Mounting support according to claim 2, in which said means includes a swivel joint (23, 24, 25) including two members, the opposite ends of said curved strap portion (21) connected to one member (23) of the swivel joint (23-25), the other member (25) of the swivel joint being equipped with fastening means (26).
4.
Mounting support according to claim 3, characterized in that the two swivel joint members consist of two plates (23, 25) rotatably connected with each other, by a rivet connection (24), and the one plate member (23) constituting one swivel joint member is formed integrally with the curved strap portion (21).
5.
Mounting support according to claim 3 or 4, characterized in that the fastening means are designed in the manner of a "Velcro" closure.
6.
Mounting support according to claim 3, characterized in that the microphone (5) is firmly seated in the holder (4) with a clamping seat
