Abstract

L'invention porte sur un coupleur acoustique se fixant réversiblement à un récepteur, placé au fond du conduit auditif, et consistant en un manchon de couplage cylindrique semi-rigide à parois minces venant se fixer sur le récepteur cylindrique. Un matériau d'obturation adéquat, disposé diamétralement sur le manchon de couplage auquel il s'adapte confortablement, obture le conduit auditif vis à vis des sons. Le manchon de couplage, sensiblement concentrique avec le récepteur, constitue une interface de faibles dimensions et un procédé de remplacement d'utilisation aisée. La fixation au récepteur du coupleur se fait en lui appliquant une poussée axiale minimale qui en assure le verrouillage. Le coupleur reste fermement fixé et peut subir une importante force de traction sans se détacher ni tomber dans le conduit auditif ou en dehors, mais il se déverrouille lorsqu'on lui applique une faible force de rotation par rapport au récepteur. Le peu d'importance des mouvements de rotation lors de la mise en place ou du retrait du coupleur en interdit le déverrouillage accidentel.
