A headset case for a wireless headset allows the headset to be coiled for safe storage and convenient transport. A circuitry cabinet of the headset is secured to a rotating spool that is then rotated to wind up wired connections between the cabinet and the headphones of the headset. Finally, the headphones are secured on the case. Preferably, the case is integrated into an audio or telephone unit with which the headset is used. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to meet the above-described needs and others.
Specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus of conveniently storing and carrying a wireless headset for use with a telephone unit and/or audio signal source while also protecting it from damage.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method and device for preventing the wireless headset from being lost or misplaced.
Additional objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows or may be learned by those skilled in the art through reading these materials or practicing the invention.
The objects and advantages of the invention may be achieved through the means recited in the attached claims.
To achieve these stated and other objects, the present invention may be embodied and described as a protective storage case for a wireless headset that is operable for selectively communicating with either an audio signal source or a telephone unit.
The headset includes a circuitry cabinet that is suspended by wire connections between two headphones that are located at a user's ears when the headset is in use.
The protective storage case includes a rotating spool and clips on the rotating spool for releasably securing the circuitry cabinet to the spool.
Consequently, rotation of the rotating spool, with the circuitry cabinet disposed thereon, winds the wire connections on the spool within the storage case.
Preferably, the case also includes a charger for charging a battery of the wireless headset that is located in the circuitry cabinet.
The battery is charged by the charger when the circuitry cabinet is disposed on the rotating spool.
Preferably, a member is provided on the rotating spool for manipulation by the user to rotate the rotating spool.
This member may be, for example, a knob or extension on the rotating spool or an indented or recessed portion of the rotating spool
