My Patent
Patent 4764692: Stereo speaker system for walkman-type radio and/or cassette player
Date issued: Aug. 16, 1988
The idea behind this invention was to create a way to carry stereo speakers in a portable and discrete manner. The invention uses a pair of suspenders which contain a pouch for a Walkman-type radio with speakers positioned over the shoulder straps. I found this patent interesting because I found the design of this invention both intriguing and ingenious. I also think it will be interesting to think up ways in which to improve this product. I found this patent while searching on Google Patents which can be found here :[1]
Patent References
This patent was based on three main patents. The first patent that is referenced is Patent no. 1335927 [2]: TROITSEBS-SUPPORT issued in Apr. 1920. The second patent that is referenced is Patent no. 4322585 [3]: Personal electronic listening system with an air and bone transducer mounted on the clothing collar that was issued on Mar. 30, 1982. The last main patent that is referenced is Patent no. 4589134 [4]: Personal sound system issued on May 13, 1986.
Patent 1335927 is a clothing article that improves the support of trousers by combining elements of both suspenders and a belt. In this invention, suspender straps over the shoulders are supported by a belt fastener. This would have a substantial improvement in holding up trousers over a belt or trousers and improve the appearance and comfort of whoever was wearing this invention.
Patent 4322585 is an electronic listening system that uses speakers connected to a portable audio device. In this invention, these speakers have pins that allow them to mount them in a position that is in close range to a person’s ears by attaching itself on the article of clothing the listener will wear. Furthermore, the pins seek to not only allow for mounting but to also provide electrical connection to the device.
Patent 4589314 is a wearable personal sound system. It involves a garment that contains pockets for both the speakers and the portable audio device in another pocket. Wires that are connected to the speakers and device are also relatively easy to attach and detach.
It is these three patents used in combination that served as the basis for the patent that I’ve selected.
