Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid with a battery arranged in a battery compartment of the housing, a contact spring arrangement for the electrical connection of the battery to hearing aid components which are to be supplied with current, the battery inserted in a hinged battery drawer having the one battery pole at a first contact of the contact spring arrangement is present and the circuit can be closed via a contact spring to the hearing aid components to be supplied when the battery charger is closed and the hearing aid is switched on.
  • Known hearing aids are often switched on and off not by an additional switch, but by a swiveling battery charger, due to space requirements.
  • the two usual contacts are installed in relation to the battery drawer in the hearing aid that both only touch the battery when it is fully pivoted into the hearing aid housing.
  • the hearing aid In this first position (“on” position) the hearing aid is switched on, ie hearing aid components that have to be supplied with power (including the hearing aid amplifier part) are live.
  • the swiveling battery drawer has two additional swivel positions. In a second, somewhat swung-out position (“off” position), the battery should only touch a contact spring, but cannot be removed or fall out since the battery drawer only partially protrudes from the housing.
  • This position corresponds to the completely switched-off state of the hearing aid, since all hearing aid components to be supplied with current should be switched off by the battery. In the event of an unfavorable tilting position of the battery, an undesirable contact position between the battery and the two pole contacts can nevertheless occur come.
  • a third position (“battery change” position)
  • the drawer can be swiveled completely out of the hearing aid housing. The battery can be removed in this position.
  • the object of the present invention is to design a hearing aid of the type described at the outset in such a way that the contact spring arrangement is designed in a simple manner and is easy to assemble, at the same time achieving an adjustment which prevents the power-consuming hearing aid components from being able to be connected to the battery if the battery drawer is open in the "off" position or in the "battery change" position.
  • a fastening element for example a plastic clasp
  • This element or this clasp furthermore has an insulated spring arm which, in the somewhat swiveled-out position of the battery drawer ("off" position), prevents the second battery pole from coming into contact with the contact spring, as compared to the insulated spring arm disengaged from the battery the contact spring of the contact spring arrangement is limited in this movement by a stop of the clasp and cannot move up.
  • the figures show a hearing aid to be worn behind the ear, its housing 2, in which the hearing aid components, e.g. Microphone, amplifier 13, handset, battery 3, etc. are arranged, preferably a bowl-shaped.
  • the housing has a battery compartment 1 and a pivotable flap as a battery drawer 8.
  • a handle 18 is molded on the outside.
  • a catch / recessed mechanism 19, 20, 21 or the like is. intended.
  • the battery 3 In the closed, latched position of the battery drawer 8, the battery 3 is firmly seated in a recess in the battery drawer, the battery jacket forming the positive pole 9 being conductive Connection to a first contact 4 is established.
  • the large battery area forming the negative pole 15 contacts a contact spring 10 and an insulating spring arm 16 is also supported on this battery area against the battery.
  • This spring arm 16 is preferably part of an element 14, for example a clip, which can be fastened to the housing 2 or to a bearing block 22 of the housing, for example by means of screws 23, and which holds the contact spring 10 in a predetermined position and at the same time adjusts the contact spring 10 under pretension .
  • the free end of the contact spring 10 facing away from the battery is inserted in a circuit board of an amplifier 13, so that in the described contact spring arrangement the hearing device components 5, 6, 7 are connected to a closed circuit in which an additional on-off switch is also arranged can.
  • the contact spring 10 is inserted into a receptacle in the printed circuit board 12 of the amplifier 13.
  • the amplifier with the contact spring is then inserted into the hearing aid housing and the shell-shaped housing is closed.
  • the clip 14 is inserted and fastened against molded bearing bushes of the housing or bearing block 22, e.g. screwed or inserted.
  • the contact spring 10 is brought from a prestressed position into the assigned adjustment position. If the battery is inserted into the battery drawer, the battery drawer is closed and, if necessary, an additional switch is closed, the battery contacts the contacts assigned to its poles and the hearing aid is switched on.
