Holding device for holding a microphone to a body

The invention relates to a holding device for substantially exposed Holding a microphone on a body.

In practice, different holding devices for holding a microphone to a body, such as on a musical instrument or on a Tripod known.

In a known fixture the microphone is fixed by retaining means with the musical instrument or the tripod connected. The rigid connection transmits However, in a disturbing manner borne noise, for example, of the musical instrument, with which the holding device is connected, or also impact sound to the microphone. This leads to audible deterioration of a recorded acoustic Signal.

The degradation of the signal by body sound transmission is at a other known holding device reduced by the fact that the microphone in a housing is mounted resiliently. The spring-loaded, the Borne noise is reduced and thus the signal quality can be improved. However, it suffered as a result of the suspension between the microphone and housing Retaining devices having a relatively large physical extension.

Object of the present invention is to provide a small and light fixture to provide for holding a small microphone on a body available in which a body sound transmission connected to a with the holding device Microphone is largely suppressed as possible.

The object is achieved in that the holding device Holding means and a connecting member having, at one end of the Microphone sits and which at least partially made of a dimensionally stable material is high acoustic damping.

The advantages of the invention are, in particular, that the holding device and the microphone may have small dimensions and a large anti-vibration mounts is achieved. The benefit of using a miniature microphone or a microphone capsule - namely its small geometric dimensions and the compact design - come fully through the holding device of the invention to bear and are not by costly and voluminous storage of Microphone nullified. Moreover, can the holding device according to the invention realized easily and economically by its simple construction finished.

The inventive idea can be different on retaining devices for microphones transfer size and characteristics. In particular, the holding means serves for holding a miniature microphone or a microphone capsule, which are especially arrives at a small size. Hereinafter, only the Term "microphone" used. This is not intended to be limiting.

In a preferred embodiment of the holding device, in which a housing the associated with the microphone holder surrounding at least partially, is the connecting element between the housing and the holding means are arranged. The housing is substantially located on the microphone and is primarily as a mechanical protection for the microphone. Since the connection member of flexible Material is provided between the housing and the holding means, can waived a resilient mounting between the microphone and the housing be such that it is advantageous to any increase in the dimensions of the Haltevorichtung comes.

Particularly preferred in the holding device, the connecting member with the fixed to holding means and with the microphone or with the housing. Thereby Attainment single manageable microphone with retaining means, which with little effort on a musical instrument or clothing of a speaker or singer can be attached. The connections between the microphone, the connecting element and the holding means can positively or frictionally be formed. In an expedient development of the compounds glued, as this is a particularly space-saving manner of a mechanical Coupling is.

In a preferred embodiment of the holding device the holding means comprise a support arm, with which the microphone relative to the body, such as a musical instrument may be aligned to an optimal quality a recorded signal through. The holding device according to the invention can be represented by the possibility of a flexible alignment of the position of Microphone quickly and easily to different musical instruments or other Customize locations. In an expedient development of the supporting arm is as a running gooseneck as this, demands for quick adjustability met with high dimensional stability.

Particularly preferably, the retaining means of the retaining device comprise a fastening member for the releasable fastening of the microphone to the body to the holding device alternatively can be attached to different bodies. As fixture can be employed various clamps that a embrace and clamp portion of the body.

In an expedient development of the holding device, the connecting element is formed by a bellows. The bellows filled with a suitable Choice of plastic, the demands for a sufficiently large lateral Stability, to carry a relatively suitable to the size of the bellows microphone can. In addition, can be through the bellows likewise a sufficiently realize low resonance frequency with simultaneously high attenuation.

In a preferred embodiment of the holding device have the connecting element and the support arm each have a feedthrough for at least one Signal line and / or supply line so that the lines on the inside to an intended outlet or junction can be performed. additionally provides the internal guide lines, often extreme in practice are thin, additional mechanical protection.

Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized by the features of the claims in.

In the following the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings is by way of example describes a perspective view of a holding device according to the invention shows.

In the accompanying FIG. Is an example of a holding device 1 for supporting a Microphone 3 shown on a body not shown. The microphone is in substantially exposed attached to the holding device. 1

The holding apparatus 1 has holding means with which the holding device 1 with a body such as a musical instrument or the like. is connected. The Holding means in the illustrated embodiment by a support arm 7 formed, which can also be designed as gooseneck. On the not shown free end of the arm 7 is also not shown fixing member, For example, a clamping member arranged.

There is a connection element between the supporting arm 7 and the microphone 3 for sound attenuation. The connecting element is in the illustrated Embodiment formed by a bellows 5, the dimensionally stable from a Plastic material is manufactured with high acoustic damping. The bellows has substantially the form of a tube and having a circular cross-section several radially circumferential constriction 14. On a microphone 3 facing end of the bellows 5 is a short tubular closes Section to 6, which serves as a connection to the microphone third

The microphone 3 has a substantially cylindrical outer shape with two circular end faces 9 of the same size, the diameter shown in the Embodiment the outer diameter of the bellows corresponds to about 5, and circumferential side wall 11. The microphone 3 has one side connected to the orbiting Side wall 11 a extending radially outward zylindischen approach 13 on. The cylindrical projection 13 is partially from the tubular section 6 of the bellows 5 enclosed, so that the cylindrical projection 13 substantially is arranged in an extension to the support arm 7 and the bellows. 5 On at least one of the end faces 9 of the microphone 3 are numerous circular Perforations 15 are provided as a sound entry openings.

From Microphone 3 passing through the cylindrical projection 13 of the microphone 3, the tubular section 6 of the bellows 5, the bellows 5 and the supporting arm 7 signal lines and / or supply conduit (not shown) to a non- Outlet or junction shown.
