Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a covering device for Hearing aid switch and in particular for push button switches on so-called Behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE).
  • BTE Behind-the-ear hearing aids
  • BTE hearing aids can often be switched on and off with push buttons or programmable. These switches are sensitive to splashing water, as is the case with unexpected rain showers occur.
  • hearing aid switches protected by covers consisting of two components. These covers include hard plastic sections with injected soft spots. However, you have that Disadvantage of the high manufacturing effort.
  • a splash-proof closure is also from the German Publication DE 198 18 934 A1 known. He is for a sleeve or rod-shaped built-in part, such as a control lamp or a switch, provided that is releasably screwed to a front panel of a switch box can be.
  • the built-in part lies with its cantilever Shoulder area, which is a circumferential, annular groove with a sealing part, pressing on the front panel on.
  • the sealing part comprises the built-in part in a cap-like manner.
  • a retaining ring frames the sealing part both from the direction the front panel as well as parallel to the front panel Direction one. Sealing effect only exists between the Installation and the sealing part.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore simpler covers for hearing aid switches propose.
  • this object is achieved by a covering device according to claim 1.
  • the collar section similar to a flange aligned parallel to the opening plane. It is technically favorable if the collar section is designed in one piece with the main section.
  • One or more through openings can be provided in the collar section be provided to optimize the assembly process.
  • the covering device can be opened by means of the through openings when mounting on a frame that holds the electronic components wearing a hearing aid, on designated Fix the pins. This means that after installing a Simply mount the cover device in the frame and dismantle again. Then the frame built into the housing of the hearing aid, presses on one Side the housing and on the other side of the frame against the flange or collar section. The pens of the Frame also prevent the cover device can be pulled out from the outside after installation.
  • two opposing components press of the hearing aid, namely the frame and the housing respectively a section of the housing around the entire circumference or at least on large parts of the circumference of the collar section against each other so that the elastic collar section also acts as a sealing ring.
  • a further optimization can take place in that the Pins for holding the cover on the hearing aid frame at its distal end from the frame a thickening or have a latch. This can also ensure that the cover device pressed onto the pins slips off the frame during further assembly of the hearing aid.
  • Figure 1 shows a cover device 1, which is preferably as Rubber cover or as a cover made of a rubber-like material is formed.
  • the rubber cover 1 has one flange-like collar section 2b, which has a multiple function has. On the one hand, it serves to hold the cover device 1 on the hearing aid. Because he is between one Frame 3 of the wearer of the electronic components of the hearing aid represents, and a housing section shown in Figure 2 4 pressed. At the same time, there is a sealing effect, so that one under the cover device Switch 5 for splash water and solid components, to a certain extent also against vapors and the like, sealed to the outside world.
  • the frame 3 has two with respect to the main portion of FIG hood-shaped covering device 1 or the one below it lying push button opposite pin-like extensions 6 on. Suitable for this are 2 through openings in the collar section 7 is provided so that the covering device 1 can be plugged into the pins 6. So the material thickness around the through openings 7 does not become too small, collar section 2 has in the area of the through openings tab-shaped extensions 8.
  • the pins 6 of the frame 3 can be arranged anywhere on the circumference of the collar 2 his. In principle, only one such pin 6 could also be provided his.
  • the pins 6 can additionally with not shown Lugs or thickenings are carried out, so that the circumference of the pins 6 in the area of these thickenings is larger than the circumference of the through openings 7.
  • Lugs or thickenings are carried out, so that the circumference of the pins 6 in the area of these thickenings is larger than the circumference of the through openings 7.
  • the housing can also be designed in one piece, with the switch from the inside the housing is inserted.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view in which the covering device 1 is cut open in the middle so that an underlying push button 5 is visible. From figure 2 is clearly visible in which way the covering device 1 is placed on the pins 6.
  • the pins 6 extend essentially parallel to the direction of pressure of the button 5th
  • the housing 4 is in the area of the covering device 1 profiled that it is assembled on the collar section 2 or the extension 8 and not to the Pins 6 presses. So that the button 5 is hermetically against the Shielded outside world.
  • the switch is 5 designed as a rocker switch.
  • Another variation can consist in that the cover 1 according to the underlying switch 5 a rectangular or a accordingly has a different shape.
  • the cover 1 consists of one single material, however, it can also be different Functionalities of the sections of the covering device can be composed of several components. So for example, the sensing range of the covering device 1 are made of a different material than the collar section 2, 8. Finally, the covering device 1 can also have different Wall thicknesses are made, which is due the choice of materials from the different functional areas the cover device can result.
