| Abstract: |
A lavalier microphone assembly wherein ambient and mechanical interference are minimized. The assembly comprises a lavalier microphone. The microphone includes a microphone casing having an aperture for the entry of sound waves and a transducer disposed within the casing near the aperture for conversion of sound waves into electrical signals. The assembly also comprises a cable, which is connected to the transducer for transmitting the electrical signals to a remote location for processing. The assembly further comprises a microphone cage which is attached to the cable and which surrounds the microphone. By surrounding the microphone, the cage both prevents the microphone from being inadvertently contacted and spaces the microphone from noises produced by the rustling of clothing. The cage is mounted on an article of clothing by means of a mounting pin, the mounting pin being fixedly mounted on the cage.

First Claim:
Show all 3 claims |
What is claimed is:
1. For reducing the ambient and mechanical interference of a microphone to be attached to clothing worn by an actor, an apparatus comprising:
- a unitary concave front section of a microphone cage having a top end and bottom end and being defined by a transverse bar and a plurality of longitudinally extending bars between the top end and the bottom end;
- a unitary concave back section of the cage having a top end and bottom end and being defined by an outer pair of longitudinally extending bars and an inner longitudinally extending bar that has an arcuate portion for elevating the cage relative to underlying clothing;
- means for mounting the back section of the cage on an article of clothing;
- a hinge pivotally connecting the top end of the front section of the cage to the top end of the bottom section;
- means for detachably connecting the bottom end of back section of the cage to the bottom end of the front section of the cage, said detachably connecting means including a pair of prongs on the bottom end of the front section that are designed frictionally to engage the bottom end of the front section to the bottom end of the back section;
- means for securing a microphone cable between the front section and the back section of the cage, said securing means including the prongs on the bottom end of the front section, the bottom end of the back section, and a projection on the front section that extends longitudinally a short distance from the prongs toward the hinge and that has a longitudinally extending groove adapted to receive and support a microphone cable and to hold the microphone cable securely against the projection when the microphone cable is placed in the groove and the bottom end of the back section is brought into frictional engagement with the prongs.
