ABSTRACT:
A portable radio receiver including a pair of loudspeakers for reproducing stereo signal sources is provided with a unitary, generally U-shaped, substantially rigid, component enclosing and supporting structure adapted to be carried on the shoulders of a user thereof, with one speaker disposed on each shoulder adjacent to and directed toward the corresponding ear of the user, whereby to provide the user with stereophonic sound reception even during movement from place to place. The structure includes a pair of spaced apart hollow enclosure sections, each having a lower contoured surface suitable for resting naturally upon the respective shoulders of the user, interconnected by a tubular element extending around the rear of the user's neck. Although a frontal strap may optionally be employed, the contouring of the shoulder-engaging sections with the aid of the neck-engageable element when needed, are normally sufficient to assure the receiver remaining in place during ordinary physical activity. The hollow sections conveniently house the electronic portions of the receiver and the batteries for the latter and provide suitable mounting surfaces for maintaining the speakers in the desired relative orientation; the tubular element permits a fully enclosed antenna assembly of unusual length for a portable receiver to extend between the sections for optimum sensitivity and minimization of directional effects upon reception from changes of orientation of the user.
