Abstract

The hearing device has a snap-on fixing unit (SF) for fixing of housing element (GH) at the frame (FR). An opening is provided in the housing element and the frame for receiving the snap-on fixing unit. The snap spring of the snap-on fixing unit is so formed that it reached through the opening of the housing element and the frame and engaged in frame, which is fixed at the same time.

Description

Problem, das der Erfindung zugrunde liegtProblem underlying the invention

Bei Gehäuseelementen (Schalen) eines Hörgeräts, die an einem Rahmen zur Aufnahme von internen Komponenten des Hörgeräts befestigt werden, ist die Verwendung von vielen zusätzlichen Teilen aufgrund des Risikos des Teileverlusts problematisch. Aus Gründen der Größendimensionierung sind Gehäusebefestigungen am Rahmen durch mehrere Schnappverbindungen nicht einsetzbar.With housing elements (shells) of a hearing aid, which are attached to a frame for receiving internal components of the hearing aid, the use of many additional parts is problematic because of the risk of loss of parts. For reasons of size dimensioning housing attachments on the frame by several snap connections are not applicable.

Der komplexe Rahmen muss im Hörgerätegehäuse fixiert werden und bei einem Gehäusewechsel (Schalenwechsel) auch leicht und schnell gelöst werden können.The complex frame must be fixed in the hearing aid housing and can also be easily and quickly released when the housing is replaced (shell change).

Bisherige Lösung des ProblemsPrevious solution to the problem

Bisher ist der Rahmen direkt in einer Gehäuseschale gelagert, welche dann miteinander verschraubt sind. Eine andere verwendete Lösung sind Stifte, die durch den Rahmen und die Gehäuseschale gesteckt sind.So far, the frame is mounted directly in a housing shell, which are then bolted together. Another solution used are pins that are inserted through the frame and the housing shell.

Lösung des Problems gemäß der ErfindungSolution to the problem according to the invention

Gemäß der Erfindung wird ein Schnappbefestigungsmittel zur Befestigung eines Gehäuseelementes (Schale) an dem Rahmen des Hörgeräts verwendet, wobei zur Aufnahme des Schnappbefestigungsmittels eine Öffnung in dem Gehäuseelement und dem Rahmen vorgesehen ist, und wobei die Schnappfeder des Schnappbefestigungsmittels so ausgebildet ist, dass sie durch die Öffnung des Gehäuseelements und des Rahmens reicht und im Rahmen einschnappt, wodurch gleichzeitig der Rahmen fixiert wird. Vorteil der Erfindung ist, dass am Gehäuse keine das Design störenden Stifte oder Schrauben verwendet werden und keine Größenprobleme auftreten.According to the invention, a snap fastening means is used for fastening a housing element (shell) to the frame of the hearing aid, wherein an opening in the housing element and the frame is provided for receiving the snap fastening means, and wherein the snap spring of the snap fastening means is formed by the Opening of the housing member and the frame extends and snaps in the frame, whereby at the same time the frame is fixed. Advantage of the invention is that the housing no design disturbing pins or screws are used and no size problems occur.

In einer Variante der Erfindung wird das Schnappbefestigungsmittel gleichzeitig als Typenschild verwendet. Derjenige Teil des Schnappbefestigungsmittels SF, der als Typenschild verwendet wird, hält in der Öffnung im Gehäuse. Dadurch wird eine Integration des Typenschilds im Schnappbefestigungsmittel erzielt.In a variant of the invention, the snap-fastening means is used simultaneously as a nameplate. The part of the snap fastener SF, which is used as a nameplate, holds in the opening in the housing. As a result, an integration of the nameplate is achieved in the snap fastener.

In einer weiteren Variante bzw. Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können zwei Gehäuseschalen verwendet werden, die an einer Seite (z.B. obere Seite) des Rahmens eingehängt werden und an der anderen Seite (z.B. untere Seite) durch das Schnappbefestigungsmittel zusammengehalten werden, wobei durch das Schnappbefestigungsmittel gleichzeitig der Rahmen fixiert wird.In a further variant or embodiment of the invention, two housing shells can be used, which are hung on one side (eg upper side) of the frame and on the other side (eg lower side) are held together by the snap fastening means, wherein by the snap fastening means at the same time Frame is fixed.

Die Erfindung ist auch in Form einer Zeichnung dargestellt, die zwei Figuren umfasst.

  • FIG 1 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung des Hörgeräts ohne die elektrischen Komponenten, d.h. ein Gehäuseelement GH, einen Rahmen FR und ein Schnappbefestigungselement SF in eingeschnapptem Zustand.
  • FIG 2 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung des Hörgeräts im Detail, wobei das Schnappbefestigungselement SF in eingeschnapptem Zustand dargestellt ist.
  • FIG 3 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung des Hörgeräts im Detail, wobei das Schnappbefestigungselement SF von der Schnappöffnung entfernt dargestellt ist.
The invention is also shown in the form of a drawing comprising two figures.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of the hearing aid without the electrical components, ie, a housing element GH, a frame FR and a snap-fastening element SF in the snapped state.
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the hearing aid in detail, wherein the snap-fastening element SF is shown in the snap-in state.
  • FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of the hearing aid in detail, wherein the snap fastener SF is shown away from the snap-in opening.
