Hörgeräte besitzen üblicherweise zur Stromversorgung aufladbare Batterien bzw. Akkus. Bei Nichtbenutzung der Hörgeräte werden diese, sofern notwendig, in Ladegeräte gesteckt, um die integrierte Batterie aufzuladen. Hierzu besitzt einerseits das Ladegerät und andererseits das Hörgerät entsprechende Ladekontakte. Die Ladekontakte des Ladegeräts sind so zu positionieren und auszulegen, dass sie beim Einsetzen des Hörgeräts in das Ladegerät exakt den Ladekontakten des Hörgeräts gegenüberstehen und auf diese gedrückt werden.Hearing aids usually have for rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries. When not in use the hearing aids These, if necessary, plugged into chargers to the integrated battery charge. On the one hand has the charger and on the other hand the hearing aid corresponding Charging contacts. The charging contacts of the charger must be positioned in this way and to design it to be exact when inserting the hearing aid into the charger facing the charging contacts of the hearing aid and pressed on these become.
Derzeit werden für das Ladegerät Metallladekontakte verwendet. Wenn das Hörgerät in das Ladegerät zum Laden eingesetzt wird, wird unter Umständen das Gehäuse des Hörgeräts durch die Metallladekontakte verkratzt. Dadurch kann das Hörgerät mit der Zeit unansehnlich werden.Currently be for The charger Metal charging contacts used. When the hearing aid is in the charger for charging is used, may be the housing of the hearing aid the metal charging contacts scratched. This allows the hearing aid with the Time to be unsightly.
Da die Ladekontakte des Ladegeräts den Ladekontakten des Hörgeräts direkt gegenüberstehen müssen und sie eine definierte Kraft aufeinander ausüben müssen, muss das Ladegerät exakt auf das Hörgerätegehäuse bzw. den Hörgerätegehäusetyp abgestimmt sein. Für unterschiedlich große Hörgeräte müssen daher unterschiedliche Ladegeräte verwendet werden. Wenn außerdem ein Hörgerät überarbeitet wird und die Ladekontakte an einer anderen Stelle platziert sind als bei dem Vorgängermodell, so ist ebenfalls ein neues Ladegerät einzusetzen. Folglich ist eine Vielzahl von Ladegeräten für die unterschiedlichen Hörgeräteversionen bzw. Hörgerätetypen bereitzustellen.There the charging contacts of the charger the charging contacts of the hearing aid directly and have to face each other If you have to apply a defined force to each other, the charger must be exact on the hearing aid housing or matched the hearing aid housing type be. For different sizes Hearing aids must therefore different chargers be used. If also a hearing aid revised and the charging contacts are placed elsewhere than the previous model, so is also a new charger to use. Consequently, it is a variety of chargers for the different hearing aid versions or hearing aid types provide.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, ein Ladegerät bereitzustellen, das in der Lage ist, unterschiedlich geformte Hörgeräte zu laden.The The object of the present invention is to provide a charger, which is able to load differently shaped hearing aids.
Erfindungsgemäß ist diese Aufgabe gelöst durch ein Ladegerät für ein Hörgerät mit einer Schale zum Einlegen des Hörgeräts und einem Schalenkontakt, der in oder an der Schale angeordnet ist, zum Kontaktieren eines Hörgerätekontakts an dem Hörgerät, wobei der Schalenkontakt einen ersten Abschnitt, der beim Laden des Hörgeräts direkt mit dem Hörgerätekontakt in Verbindung tritt, aus einem leitenden Elastomer und einen zweiten Abschnitt, der aus einem schwammartigen, elektrisch leitfähigen Material gefertigt ist, in elektrischer Verbindung mit dem ersten Abschnitt aufweist.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a charger for a hearing aid having a shell for inserting the hearing device and a shell shell Takt, which is arranged in or on the shell, for contacting a hearing device contact on the hearing aid, wherein the shell contact a first portion, which directly connects to the hearing aid contact when loading the hearing aid, a conductive elastomer and a second portion, the a spongy, electrically conductive material is made, in electrical connection with the first section.
In vorteilhafter Weise besitzt das Ladegerät somit einen Schalenkontakt, dessen erster Abschnitt aus einem leitenden Elastomer besteht, wodurch sich verhindern lässt, dass das Hörgerätegehäuse beim Einstecken des Hörgeräts in das Ladegerät verkratzt wird. Darüber hinaus besitzt das Elastomer elastische Eigenschaften, so dass sich der Schalenkontakt gut an den entsprechenden Ladekontakt des Hörgeräts anschmiegen kann. Dadurch, dass der zweite Abschnitt des Schalenkontakts aus einem schwammartigen, elektrisch leitfähigen Material besteht, das weicher als das Elastomer des ersten Abschnitts ist, wobei der zweite Abschnitt durch den ersten Abschnitt getragen wird, kann sich der Schalenkontakt noch besser an den Ladekontakt des Hörgeräts anschmiegen.In Advantageously, the charger thus has a shell contact, whose first section is made of a conductive elastomer, whereby prevent that the hearing aid housing when Inserting the hearing aid in the charger is scratched. About that In addition, the elastomer has elastic properties, so that The shell contact snugly snugly against the corresponding charging contact of the hearing aid can. Characterized in that the second section of the shell contact off a spongy, electrically conductive material, the softer than the elastomer of the first section, the second Section worn through the first section may be the Clamp the shell contact even better to the charging contact of the hearing aid.
Vorzugsweise ist der Schalenkontakt stiftförmig ausgebildet und in einer Hülse verschiebbar gelagert. Dadurch können größere Lagedifferenzen zwischen den Ladekontakten des Hörgeräts und den elastischen Ladekontakten des Ladegeräts ausgeglichen werden. Dabei ist es besonders günstig, wenn der Schalenkon takt mit einer Schraube in der Hülse in deren axialer Richtung fixiert werden kann. Dadurch lassen sich die Schalenkontakte leicht individuell auf das verwendete Hörgerät einstellen.Preferably the shell contact is pin-shaped trained and in a sleeve slidably mounted. Thereby can larger differences between positions the charging contacts of the hearing aid and the elastic Charging contacts of the charger be compensated. It is particularly advantageous when the Schalenkon clock with a screw in the sleeve in whose axial direction can be fixed. This can be done easily adjust the shell contacts individually to the hearing aid used.
Der erste Abschnitt des Schalenkontakts kann in seinem Inneren leitfähige Fasern aufweisen. Auf diese Weise lässt sich eine gewünschte elektrische Leitfähigkeit des Elastomerabschnitts des Schalenkontakts erreichen.Of the first portion of the shell contact may be in its interior conductive fibers exhibit. That way a desired one electric conductivity reach the elastomeric portion of the shell contact.
Darüber hinaus kann der zweite Abschnitt des Schalenkontakts einen Schwamm aufweisen, der von Drähten umgeben ist. Damit lässt sich auf einfache Weise ein schwammartiger zweiter Abschnitt, der elektrisch leitfähig ist, realisieren.Furthermore the second portion of the shell contact may have a sponge which of wires is surrounded. Leave it in a simple way, a sponge-like second section, the electrically conductive is, realize.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann der zweite Abschnitt des Schalenkontakts einen Schwamm aufweisen, in den Drähte integriert sind. Damit lässt sich unter Umständen ein stabilerer zweiter Abschnitt, der darüber hinaus korrosionsbeständiger sein kann, verwirklichen.alternative or additionally the second portion of the shell contact may have a sponge, in the wires are integrated. Leave it in some circumstances a more stable second section, which moreover is more resistant to corrosion can realize.
Zur Herstellung seiner Leitfähigkeit kann der erste Abschnitt in seinem Inneren leitfähige Fasern aufweisen. Auch diese Fasern können durch Drähte realisiert sein, wie auch umgekehrt leitfähige Fasern in dem schwammartigen zweiten Abschnitt enthalten sein können.to Producing its conductivity For example, the first portion may include conductive fibers in its interior. Also these fibers can realized by wires as well as conductive Fibers may be included in the spongy second section.
Weiterhin kann in das Ladegerät ein Hörgerät eingesetzt sein, wobei die zu dem Hörgerät gerichtete Oberfläche des ersten Abschnitts des Schalenkontakts wesentlich größer als die zum Ladegerät gerichtete Oberfläche eines Ladekontakts des Hörgeräts ist. Dadurch kann gewährleistet werden, dass mehrere Hörgeräte mit unterschiedlich positionierten Ladekontakten von ein und demselben Ladegerät geladen werden können.Farther can in the charger a hearing aid used be, which directed to the hearing aid surface the first portion of the shell contact much larger than which directed to the charger surface a charging contact of the hearing aid is. This can be guaranteed be that multiple hearing aids with different positioned charging contacts loaded from one and the same charger can be.
