Dyson Ltd, a British technology company that designs and
manufactures household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, etc.,
has applied for the Patent
Registration of a new pair of headphones with a built-in air purifier.
Filed with the UK’s Intellectual PropertyOffice, the company’s
patent application describes a pair of headphones with advanced
technology-based air filters built into its ear cups. Diagrams provided in the
application showcase a band that sits across the wearer’s mouth to serve them
with clean air and can be folded away when not in use.
Dayson already deals in producing a wide variety of air purifiers
for home, but these undoubtedly don’t provide much help when the wearer is out
or about. Besides, people in almost all parts of the world care enough to wear face
masks to be safe against harms due to pollution. In addition to highlighting
these facts, the company’s patent stated that this is why there’s a crucial
need for a portable device that could more effectively filter out pollutants,
even if it comes with the stigma of partially covering the wearer’s face. It
also claimed that the new device would help in combating the harmful effects of
air pollution in several cities worldwide.
Dyson’s Patent Application noted that the ear
cups include motors that spin at near about 12,000 RPM to draw in around 1.4
liters of air per second, which give an idea like it could produce a fair bit
of noise. With 12,000 RPM impeller and one motor on each side of the wearer’s
head, it sounds that these units would feature active noise canceling (ANC).
However, whether or not the motor’s noise will be a distraction to close
coworkers and commuters is not clear. And when it comes to the appearance of
the wearable air purifier, the front strip designed to direct air towards the
nose and mouth may be more attention-getter as compared to standard antiviral
mask.
As it is just a patent, a product of this type isn’t guaranteed.
Nevertheless, Dyson has been working on wearable pollution-beating headphones
to purify the air around the wearer for over a year. So, it appears that this
could soon become a reality. Furthermore, the statistics indicate that the
device may be something that you could not wear every day and everywhere. But,
it can be one that would be useful to avoid illness and damages to lungs on
flights and in polluted areas, and that flies off the shelf at the time of
media-hyped events such as the current coronavirus outbreak. ✅ For more visit: https://www.kashishipr.com/
