Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of the claim.

Derartige Vorrichtungen dienen dazu, Schall so über den Hautsinn gehörloser Personen zu vermitteln, daß diese die Schallereignisse erkennen und identifizieren lernen können.Such devices are used to sound through the skin of deaf people convey that these can recognize and learn to recognize the sound events.

Ein solches Gerät ist aus der DE 33 29 410 A1 bekannt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein tragbares System, welches aus vielen, untereinander zu verbindenden bzw. zu verkabelnden elektronischen Bauelementen, Reizgebern und Haltevorrichtungen besteht.Such a device is known from DE 33 29 410 A1. This is a portable system, which consists of many to be connected or wired together electronic components, stimulators and holding devices.

Im GM 74 20 294 ist ein Verstärker- und Stromversorgungsteil für den Anschluß an Hörhilfsgeräte mit elektroakustischen Schallwandlern beschrieben. Abgesehen davon, daß es sich um die Komponenten eines Hörgerätes handelt, muß die Vorrichtung, der gestellten Aufgabe entsprechend, groß ausgeführt sein und sind Mikrofon und Verstärkerteil gerätemäßig getrennt.The GM 74 20 294 has an amplifier and power supply unit for connection Hearing aids with electroacoustic sound transducers described. Besides that it is the components of a hearing aid, the device, the provided The task is to be carried out appropriately, are large and are microphone and amplifier part device separated.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die praktische Realisierbarkeit der mechanisch-kutanen Schallvermittlung (MKS) zu verbessern und eine unsichtbare oder nicht erkennbare Unterbringung am Körper gehörloser Personen zu ermöglichen.The invention has for its object the practical feasibility of mechanical cutaneous sound transmission (FMD) to improve and an invisible or not To enable recognizable placement on the body of deaf people.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Patentanspruch gekennzeichneten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features characterized in the patent claim.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden an Hand von zwei Zeichnungen näher beschrieben. Es zeigt in schematischer DarstellungThe invention is described below with reference to two drawings. It shows in a schematic representation

Fig. 1 eine Bedienungseinheit Fig. 1 is an operating unit

Fig. 2 eine Trägerweste. Fig. 2 a carrier vest.

In der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Bedienungseinheit sind Mikrofon und Steuergerät in Miniaturbauweise vereinigt. Mit 1 bis 4 sind kleine Bedienungstasten bezeichnet, wobei Taste 1 zur Erhöhung der mechanisch-kutanen Übertragungsintensität, Taste 2 zu deren Verringerung, Taste 3 zum Ein- und Ausschalten des Gerätes und Taste 4 zur Umschaltung von Mikrofon auf Empfang über Induktion dient. Mit 5 ist das mit einem Windschutz versehene Mikrofin und mit 6 das Mikrofon-Anschlußkabel, an dem auch Befestigungsklammern angebracht sein können, bezeichnet.In the operating unit shown in Fig. 1, the microphone and control unit are combined in a miniature design. 1 to 4 are small control buttons, with button 1 for increasing the mechanical cutaneous transmission intensity, button 2 for reducing it, button 3 for switching the device on and off and button 4 for switching from microphone to reception via induction. With 5 the microfin provided with a windshield and with 6 the microphone connecting cable, to which fastening clamps can also be attached.

Die Bedienungseinheit, einschließlich Mikrofon, kann unsichtbar, z. B. an einer Trägerweste (Fig. 2), oder sichtbar, aber nicht erkennbar, im Design einer Brosche auf der Kleidung, z. B. am Kragen, getragen werden.The control unit, including the microphone, can be invisible, e.g. B. on a carrier vest ( Fig. 2), or visible, but not recognizable, in the design of a brooch on clothing, e.g. B. on the collar.

Auch die übrigen Elektronikbauteile sind so miniaturisiert und so auf der Trägerweste verteilt, daß die - in die Weste eingenäht - unter der Oberbekleidung ebensowenig bemerkt werden, wie die Reizgeber. Diese sind auf der Trägerweste (Fig. 2) in ihrer Lage zueinander dargestellt.The other electronic components are also miniaturized and distributed on the carrier vest in such a way that - sewn into the vest - under the outer clothing are as little noticed as the stimulators. These are shown on the carrier vest ( Fig. 2) in their position to each other.

Der Benutzer des MKS-Verfahrens trägt direkt auf der Haut ein enggeschneidertes MKS-Hemd in leichter Baumwollqualität. Auf dieses Hemd wird die MKS-Trägerweste (Fig. 2) mit den Reizgebern und der Elektronik gezogen.The user of the FMD procedure wears a tailored FMD shirt in light cotton quality directly on the skin. The FMD carrier vest ( Fig. 2) with the stimulators and electronics is pulled onto this shirt.

Der individuelle Zuschnitt der Weste nach einem Muster (ein spezieller Anpassungsvorgang ist je Benutzer erforderlich) gewährleistet den Sitz der Reizgeber an einer bestimmten (im Anpassungsvorgang überprüften) Stelle des vorderen Brustraumes, sowie die Auflage der Reizgeber auf den vorgesehenen Hautstellen auch bei einer Bewegung des Benutzers. Überdies sind die Reizgeber in der MKS-Weste beweglich udn so angebracht, daß ein Federsystem für einen optimalen Auflagedruck sorgt.The individual cutting of the vest according to a pattern (a special adjustment process is required per user) ensures the location of the stimulus at a certain (in Adjustment process checked) location of the front chest, as well as the support of the Irritant on the intended skin areas even when the user moves. In addition, the stimulators in the MKS vest are movable and attached so that a Spring system ensures optimal contact pressure.

Die Festlegung der Stellen im vorderen Brustbereich zur Auflage der Reizgeber (acht Reizgeber entlang den unteren Rippenbögen und sechs Reizgeber im oberen Brustbereich entlang des Halsansatzes), die Anordnung und der Abstand dieser Reizgeber zueinander (wie sie durch die MKS-Weste auf Dauer gewährleistet ist) ist für die erfolgreiche Nutzung des Systems von wesentlicher Bedeutung. The determination of the places in the front area of the chest to support the stimulators (eight Stimulators along the lower costal arches and six stimulators in the upper chest area along the base of the neck), the arrangement and the distance of these stimuli to each other (as guaranteed by the MKS vest in the long run) is for successful use of the system essential.  

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ermöglicht es auch einem gehörlosen Benutzer, Schallereignisse zu erkennen und deren Identifikation zu lernen, so daß die akustische Kommunikation mit der Umwelt, insbesondere mit anderen Personen, erreicht werden kann.The device according to the invention also enables a deaf user to Recognize sound events and learn to identify them, so that the acoustic Communication with the environment, especially with other people, can be achieved.
