Definitions

  • 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.
  • housing attachments on the frame by several snap connections are not applicable.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • the patent CH 689 685 A5 discloses a behind-the-ear hearing aid with a base frame, can be attached to the housing shells, housing and frame are variably equipped with panels and associated components.
  • Patent Application EP 0 186 748 A2 discloses a hearing aid, wherein the peripheral outer edge of a mounting plate is connected to the upper edge of an ear cavity by circumferentially releasable fasteners.
  • 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-in 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.
  • 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.
  • an integration of the nameplate is achieved in the snap fastener.
  • 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 at the same time by the snap fastening means Frame is fixed.

Description

    Problem, das der Erfindung zugrunde liegt
  • 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.
    Der komplexe Rahmen muss im Hörgerätegehäuse fixiert werden und bei einem Gehäusewechsel (Schalenwechsel) auch leicht und schnell gelöst werden können.
  • Bisherige Lösung des Problems
  • 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.
  • Die Patentschrift CH 689 685 A5 offenbart ein Hinter-dem-Ohr Hörgerät mit einem Grundrahmen, an den Gehäuseschalen ansetzbar sind, wobei Gehäuse und Rahmen variabel mit Blenden und zugehörigen Bauelementen bestückbar sind.
  • Die Patentanmeldung EP 0 186 748 A2 offenbart ein Hörgerät, wobei der umlaufende äußere Rand einer Montageplatte mit dem oberen Rand einer Ohrmulde durch am Umfang angeordnete lösbare Befestigungsmittel verbunden ist.
  • Lösung des Problems gemäß der Erfindung
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.

Claims (3)

  1. Hörgerät, mit
    a) einem Rahmen (FR) zur Aufnahme von Komponenten des Hörgeräts,
    b) mindestens einem Gehäuseelement (GH), das den Rahmen umgibt,
    gekennzeichnet durch:
    c) ein separates Schnappbefestigungsmittel (SF) zur Befestigung des Gehäuseelements an dem Rahmen, wobei zur Aufnahme des Schnappbefestigungsmittels eine Öffnung in dem Gehäuseelement und dem Rahmen vorgesehen ist, und wobei die Schnappfeder des separaten 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.
  2. Hörgerät nach Anspruch 1,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass
    das Schnappbefestigungsmittel gleichzeitig als Typenschild verwendet wird.
  3. Hörgerät nach Anspruch 1 oder 2,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass
    als Gehäuse des Hörgeräts zwei Gehäuseschalen verwendet werden, die an der einen Seite des Rahmens eingehängt werden und an der anderen Seite des Rahmens durch das Schnappbefestigungsmittel zusammengehalten werden, wobei durch das Schnappbefestigungsmittel gleichzeitig der Rahmen fixiert wird.
