Abstract

In a microphone mounting for a hands-free system in automotive vehicles, the microphone is mounted on the seat belt. In one embodiment the microphone is seated in a sheath which is fastened to the upper belt deflection and through which the belt can freely pass. The sheath consists of two mutually displaceable flat sleeves, of which the lower one accommodates the microphone whose position relative to the passenger's mouth can be adjusted in an optimum way by a mutual displacement of the two sleeves. In another embodiment the microphone is provided at its side facing the belt with contacts that are brought into electrical contact with conducting wires integrated into the belt so as to be connected to the telephone circuit.
