MODULE ATTDTO - UNDZRSEL ADAPTABLE
SUR RRANCIIES DE LINETTES
La présente invention concerne un module audio-universel adaptable sur toutes branches de lunettes et destiné aux malentendants porteurs de lunettes.ATTDTO MODULE - UNDZRSEL ADAPTABLE
ON RRANCIIES OF LINETTES
The present invention relates to an audio-universal module adaptable to all branches of glasses and intended for the hearing impaired wearing glasses.
On sait que les prothèses auditives rendent un grand service aux malentendants, cependant le port de lunettes et d'une ou deux prothèses auditives rendent ce service désagréable de par le poids et l'encombrement d'un contour d'oreille.We know that hearing aids do a great service for the hearing impaired, however wearing glasses and one or two hearing aids makes this service unpleasant due to the weight and size of an earloop.
Aussi, le malentendant équipé de contours d'oreilles et d'une paire de lunettes, ou d'une paire de lunettes auditives, a tendance à ne pas porter régulièrement son aide auditive, de par la génie occasionnée par l'enc-ombrement~de cette prothèse.Also, the hearing impaired equipped with earloops and a pair of glasses, or a pair of hearing glasses, tends not to regularly wear his hearing aid, due to the genius caused by the enc-ombrement ~ of this prosthesis.
De nombreux malentendants sont appareillés par les seuls audioprothésistes. De ce fait,-les opticiens connaissent certaines difficultés à ajuster des lunettes aux personnes équipées de contours d'oreilles, et opposent certaines restrictions à l'emploi de branches auditives qui ne permettent pas le cambrage des branches à chaud
Le module vise à remédier à ces inconvénients. En effet, le patient équipé d'une prothèse auditive selon l'invention, ne sera pas plus gdné qu'un simple porteur de lunettes correctrices.Many hearing impaired are fitted by hearing aid professionals only. As a result, opticians experience certain difficulties in fitting glasses to people fitted with ear hooks, and oppose certain restrictions on the use of hearing aids which do not allow the bending of hot limbs.
The module aims to remedy these drawbacks. Indeed, the patient equipped with a hearing aid according to the invention, will not be more affected than a simple wearer of corrective glasses.
AVANTAGES DU MODULE - DISCRETION, Le module adapté sur les branches de lunettes a l'apparence d'une garniture fantaisie attachant les cordons de lunettes, fort à la mode de nos jours. Le tube en résine transparent, amenant les sons vers le conduit auditif est très court et presque invisible aux yeux des interlocuteurs, - FACILITE DE REGIAGE, Contrairement aux appareils conventionnels le potentiomètre et l'interrupteur ne sont pas situés derrière ltoreil}e(pour les contours) ou dans le pavillon ( pour les intra auriculaires) mais directement sur le module, donc au niveau temporal.ADVANTAGES OF THE MODULE - DISCRETION, The module adapted on the branches of glasses has the appearance of a fancy trim attaching the cords of glasses, very fashionable nowadays. The transparent resin tube, bringing the sounds towards the ear canal is very short and almost invisible to the eyes of the interlocutors, - EASY ADJUSTMENT, Unlike conventional devices, the potentiometer and the switch are not located behind the ear (for contours) or in the pavilion (for in-ear) but directly on the module, so temporally.
- CONFORT, Le module étant fixé sur la branche, le malentendant est soulagé du volume et du poids de la prothèse classique et ne risque plus d'savoir les "oreilles décollées" comme souvent lors des appareillages conventionnels. - COMFORT, The module being fixed on the branch, the hearing-impaired person is relieved of the volume and the weight of the classic prosthesis and no longer risks knowing "protruding ears" as often with conventional devices.
De plus, de par sa position sur la branche au devant du pavillon le poids en est mieux réparti, et son équilibrage évite au patient de resentir le poids de sa prothèse, - LIBERTE DF CHOIX, pour la monture de lunettes, il peut choisir n'importe quel modèle de montures plastique ou métallique, à la seule condition que les branches métalliques comportent un méplat et ne soient pas d'une géométrie totalement cylindrique qui empècherait l'immobilisation du module sur la branche.In addition, by its position on the branch in front of the chest, the weight is better distributed, and its balancing prevents the patient from feeling the weight of his prosthesis, - LIBERTE DF CHOIX, for the frame of glasses, he can choose n 'any model of plastic or metallic frames, on the only condition that the metal branches have a flat and are not of a totally cylindrical geometry which would prevent the immobilization of the module on the branch.
- NON IM}fOBILISATION des lunettes correctrices durant une réparation de la prothèse auditive en laboratoire. Le module étant détachable en le déclipsant à l'aide d'un simple tournevis, et pouvant être remplacé sur le champ par un module similaire de prêt, - POUR L'OPTICILN, plus de problèmes d'ajustage délicat, le module se positionnant directement sur la branche une fois l'ajustage terminé. Facilité de montage des systèmes "Cros" ou "Bicros" et de dépannage instantané par changement immédiat du cordon de jonction entre les deux modules.(moins-de 5 minutes) - POUR L'AUDIOPROTHESISTE, facilité de réglage directement sur l'oreille de son patient.En soulevant le couvercle du module on trouve les trimmers nécessitant les réglages particuliers compte tenu de la perte auditive du sujet, Donc, inutilité de retirer l'embout de l'oreille du patient pour effectuer les réglages successifs. De plus, l'audioprothésiste n'a pas à recourir à l'opticien pour le montage et l'ajustage de la prothèse.- NON IM} FOBILIZATION of corrective glasses during a repair of the hearing aid in the laboratory. The module being detachable by unclipping it using a simple screwdriver, and can be replaced on the spot by a similar ready module, - FOR THE OPTICILN, no more delicate adjustment problems, the module being positioned directly on the branch once the adjustment is complete. Easy assembly of the "Cros" or "Bicros" systems and instant troubleshooting by immediate change of the connecting cord between the two modules. (Less than 5 minutes) - FOR THE HEARING AUDIO, easy adjustment directly on the ear By lifting the cover of the module we find the trimmers requiring the particular adjustments taking into account the hearing loss of the subject, So, no need to remove the earmold from the patient's ear to make the successive adjustments. In addition, the audioprosthetist does not have to resort to the optician for the assembly and the adjustment of the prosthesis.
Le présent module sera facilement compris au vu des croquis et illustrations annexés, qui permettent de comprendre l'assemblage du module et sa fixation sur les branches de lunettes.This module will be easily understood in the light of the sketches and illustrations appended, which make it possible to understand the assembly of the module and its fixing to the branches of glasses.

Le module audio-universel adaptable aux branches de lunettes comporte un boîtier creux en matière plastique (1) destiné à recevoir l'ensemble électronique de compensation auditive (comprenant, microphone, amplificateur, trimmers de réglage, alimentation par pile, potentiomètre et écouteur). Ses dimensions approximatives sont de 16 mm x 10 mm x 4mm. The audio-universal module adaptable to the branches of glasses comprises a hollow plastic case (1) intended to receive the electronic assembly of hearing compensation (comprising, microphone, amplifier, trimmers of adjustment, battery power supply, potentiometer and earpiece). Its approximate dimensions are 16 mm x 10 mm x 4mm.
Sur le module, l'entrée du microphone, qui est soit directionnel soit omnidirectionnel, suivant les besoins du malentendant, est disposée à l'avant du boîtier (2). Le tiroir de pile (3) est combiné au potentiomètre (4); ils sont tous deux situés à l'arrière du module.On the module, the microphone input, which is either directional or omnidirectional, depending on the needs of the hearing impaired, is located at the front of the housing (2). The battery drawer (3) is combined with the potentiometer (4); they are both located at the rear of the module.
La sortie de l'écouteur (5) est située à la partie inféro-postérieure du boitier (1), et est reliée au conduit en résine transparente (10), de manière à conduire les informations de 1aide auditive vers le conduit auditif externe du patient.The output of the earpiece (5) is located at the lower posterior part of the case (1), and is connected to the transparent resin duct (10), so as to conduct the information from the hearing aid to the external ear canal of the patient.
A la base inférieure du boitier (7), se trouve la sortie du cordon de jonction (il), filetée et tripolaire,qui permet la transmisiion des signaux d'un module vers l'autre, en cas de montage type "cros" ou "bicros". At the lower base of the box (7), is the outlet of the connecting cord (it), threaded and three-pole, which allows the transmission of signals from one module to the other, in the case of "cros" type mounting or "bicros".
Le module est pourvu sur sa face supérieure d'une rainure (6) dans laquelle vient s'articuler un clips (7) permettant de fixer le module (1) sur la branche (8) au moyen d'une vis de blocage (12).The module is provided on its upper face with a groove (6) in which a clip (7) is articulated allowing the module (1) to be fixed on the branch (8) by means of a locking screw (12 ).
Le clips (7)pour branches en matière plastique, aura une profondeur de 3,5 mm, correspondant à l'épaisseur moyenne d'une d'une branche de ce type Dans le cas d'un montage sur branche, métallique, il aura une profondeur de 1,5 mm, épaisseur moyenne d'une branche métallique, et sera doté de butées amovibles (9) afin de pouvoir l'ajuster suivant la hauteur de la branche.The clip (7) for branches in plastic material will have a depth of 3.5 mm, corresponding to the average thickness of one of a branch of this type. In the case of mounting on a branch, metallic, it will have a depth of 1.5 mm, average thickness of a metal branch, and will have removable stops (9) so that it can be adjusted according to the height of the branch.
Les modules droit et gauche, sont reliés entre eux par un cordon ou une chainette de jonction (13), servant de gaine à un conducteur tripolaire, et équipé à chacune de ses extrémités d'une prise tripolaire filetée (14) permettant d'établir les contacts par les sorties de cordon de jonction (11) en cas d'équipement type "crois" ou "bicros". The right and left modules are connected together by a cord or a junction chain (13), serving as a sheath for a three-pole conductor, and equipped at each of its ends with a threaded three-pole socket (14) making it possible to establish the contacts via the junction cord outputs (11) in the case of "believe" or "bicros" type equipment.
