Abstract

Beim Gehäuse für Hörgeräte resp. Hörhilfen, mit im Innern des Gehäuses angeordneten Schallverstärkungskomponenten sowie mindestens einer an der Aussenseite ausgebildeten Öffnung (3) sowie einem die Öffnung (3) abdeckbaren Deckel (4), ist der Deckel (4) erfindungsgemäss aus einem Stück mit nach Aussen weisenden Zapfen (5) ausgebildet. Weiter sind im Gehäuse (2) gegen Aussen mit Begrenzungen versehene Nuten (6) vorhanden, derart, dass die Zapfen (5) von der Innenseite des Gehäuses (2) her in die Nuten (6) einführbar sind, aber zur Aussenseite hin durch die Begrenzungen in Anschlag stehen. Damit wird zuverlässig ein unbeabsichtigtes oder selbständiges Lösen des Deckels (4) aus dem Gehäuse (2) verhindert, wobei der Deckel (4) einfach montierbar und kostengünstig herstellbar ist.

When housing for hearing aids respectively. Hearing aids, with sound amplification components arranged in the interior of the housing and at least one opening (3) formed on the outside and a cover (4) covering the opening (3), the cover (4) according to the invention is made from one piece with pins (5) pointing outwards ) educated. Furthermore, grooves (6) are provided in the housing (2) with boundaries towards the outside, such that the pins (5) can be inserted into the grooves (6) from the inside of the housing (2), but to the outside through the Limits are in place. This reliably prevents the cover (4) from being unintentionally or automatically released from the housing (2), the cover (4) being easy to install and inexpensive to produce.
