The disclosure relates to voice amplification devices and more particularly pertains to a new voice amplification device for amplifying a user's voice.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a plurality of rings movably coupled to one another so said rings may form a megaphone.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The plurality of rings 12 is positionable in an extended position so the front lip 18 on each of the plurality of rings 12 abuts the rear lip 14 of the associated adjacent ring 12. The rear lip 14 on each of the rings 12 abuts the front lip 18 of the associated adjacent ring 12. In the extended position a largest one of the rings 22 is positioned a maximum distance away from a smallest one of the rings 24 so the plurality of rings 12 form a megaphone 26.
The smallest ring 24 may be positioned proximate a user's 28 mouth 30 when the plurality of rings 12 is positioned in the extended position so the user 28 may speak into the smallest ring 24. The megaphone 26 may amplify the user's 28 voice. The plurality of rings 12 is positionable in a retracted position that has each of the plurality of the rings 12 positioned within the largest ring 22. The front lips 18 of each of the plurality of rings 12 are adjacent to one another when the rings 12 are positioned in the retracted position.
In use, the assembly 10 allows for a method of amplifying the user's 28 voice. The steps of the method comprise a step of providing the plurality of telescopically positionable rings 12, the rear lip 14 coupled to the rear side 16 of each of the rings 12 and the front lip 18 coupled to the front side 20 of each of the rings 12. The method includes a step of positioning the plurality of rings 12 in the extended position.
Additionally, the method includes a step of positioning the smallest ring 24 proximate the user's 28 mouth 30. The method further includes a step of speaking into the smallest ring 24 so the plurality of rings 12 amplifies the user's 28 voice. Finally, the method includes a step of positioning the plurality of rings 12 in the retracted position.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure.
