Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid referred to in the preamble of claim 1 Art.
  • Hearing aids include, in addition to microphones and speakers, an amplifier circuit that has a volume adjustment to suit individual needs.
  • hearing aids also require options for setting different operating modes, such as for switching from acoustic hearing to electromagnetic reception by a telephone handset.
  • additional switches are provided in known hearing aids, for example in the form of protruding through the housing pushbuttons, as shown for example in US 6,700,983 B1.
  • additional buttons require additional space, which in the extremely cramped space in very small space Hearing aids poses problems.
  • the appearance of hearing aid wearers which is usually viewed very critically, is disturbed by additional switches.
  • Another problem here is due to the fingertip minimum distance between the volume control and the push button to avoid when pressing the volume control, for example, the simultaneous pressing of the push button. It is at normal finger size, a distance of about 10 mm required, which raises considerable arrangement problems in view of the extremely small size of hearing aids.
  • a hearing aid in which a push-button switch for stepwise adjustment of the volume is combined with a rotary switch for switching the device on and off.
  • a similar combination switch shows the WO 99/43193, according to which a key switch for volume adjustment is combined with a slide switch for switching on and off.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a generic hearing aid space-saving and without aesthetic interference with a switch.
  • the adjusting wheel is in addition to its serving the volume adjustment rotary function provided with a sliding function, so that adjusted by turning the adjusting wheel, the volume and a switch can be operated by pushing the adjusting wheel.
  • the displacement takes place via a sliding device arranged in the interior of the housing. External switching elements for the switch are therefore not required. Close spatial integration makes it possible to construct space-saving and cost-effective.
  • the displacement of the adjusting wheel can take place in the direction of its axis of rotation, for which purpose, for example, with the fingernail on the side of the adjusting wheel is touched.
  • the features of claim 2 are provided.
  • the sliding operation of the control wheel is done in a simple manner by finger pressure, wherein at a pressure perpendicular to the axis of rotation unintentional simultaneous rotation of the control wheel is prevented.
  • the sliding device can be designed, for example, with a slide guide for parallel displacement. Preferably, however, the features of claim 3 are provided.
  • the sliding device is formed to a pivotal displacement of the adjusting wheel about a pivot axis. This allows a very simple construction and offers a number of constructive advantages.
  • the pivot axis can be perpendicular to the axis of rotation, so that the setting wheel is pivotally displaced in the direction of the axis of rotation.
  • the features of claim 4 are provided, according to which the pivot axis is parallel to the axis of rotation.
  • the displacement of the adjusting wheel is perpendicular to the axis of rotation with the advantages already mentioned.
  • the switch to be actuated during the shift can be acted upon directly by the adjusting wheel.
  • the features of claim 5 are provided.
  • the choice of the location of the switch with respect to the length of the lever gives possibilities to choose the ratio of force to stroke at the switch in the desired manner.
  • the thumbwheel is usually arranged on or in a separate housing, for example, rotatably actuated by a thumbwheel rotary potentiometer wearing.
  • this housing is designed according to claim 6 of the sliding device and thus integrated with this, for example, with the pivot lever space and cost saving to form a unit.
  • Fig. 1 shows a hearing aid 1 with a housing, of which in the partial view of Fig. 1, a top wall 2 and a rear wall 3 are shown. In the top wall 2, an opening 4 rectangular basic shape is formed.
  • an adjusting wheel 5 is arranged, partially protruding, which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation 6, which, as shown in FIG. 1, is parallel to the top wall 2.
  • a housing plate 7 which carries a conventional Drehpotentiometeran Aunt, which is not shown in Fig. 1 for illustrative simplification.
  • the rotary potentiometer has, for example in the usual training on a concentric resistance path, which is tapped by a grinder which runs with the rotary 5. With wires 8, the rotary potentiometer is connected to the electronics of the hearing aid 1, not shown, such that the volume is adjusted by turning the adjusting wheel 5.
  • the entire Drehpotentiometer worn with the thumbwheel 5 at the free end of a lever 10 is rotatably mounted, which is pivotally mounted with its other end on a pivot axis 11.
  • the pivot axis 11 is fixed in the embodiment of the rear wall 3, for example, formed integrally therewith.
  • a fixed to the rear wall 3 console 12 carries a switch 13, the actuator 14 is disposed in the pivoting range of the lever 10 and the lever 10 is supported by a coil spring 15 against the console 12.
  • the switch 13 is connected to the electronics of the hearing aid 1 by means not shown, for example to switch over certain operating modes or to switch e.g. To switch different functions by pressing for different lengths, for example, to perform complicated movements in a command menu. With sufficient return spring force of the actuator 14, the spring 15 can be omitted.
  • the volume of the hearing aid 1 is adjusted.
  • the lever 10 is pivoted about the pivot axis 11 downwards and actuates the actuator 14 of the switch 13, so as to give switching commands to the electronics.
  • FIGS 2 and 3 show further embodiments of the invention, wherein the same reference numerals are used as far as possible.
  • the setting wheel 5 is arranged in the same manner as in Fig. 1 in the opening 4 of the upper wall 2 of the housing. However, it is provided in place with a laterally disposed housing plate with a partially enclosing housing 7, which is formed integrally with the lever 10.
  • the pivot axis 11 is again parallel to the axis of rotation 6, but is arranged below the setting wheel 5, so that it can tilt about the pivot axis 11 to and from the rear.
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment seen in a viewing direction from above on the embodiment of Fig. 1.
  • the construction largely corresponds to that of Figure 1, but with a significant difference.
  • the pivot axis 11 of the lever 10 is not parallel to the axis of rotation 6, but perpendicular to this and is attached, for example, to the top wall 2.
  • the switch 13, which otherwise identical to that of FIG. 1, is attached directly to the front wall 3 'of the housing.
