Definitions

  • various components of a hearing instrument can be mounted on a module that resides in the faceplate of the instrument.
  • the dimensional tolerances of the faceplate receptacle will be somewhat less precise than those of the module. Given these differences, the module may not reside securely within the receptacle and damage may occur to either the faceplate or the module.
  • a faceplate 10 having a rectangular faceplate receptacle 12 holding an electronics module 20 is shown in Figure 1 .
  • the faceplate 10 is depicted here as an oval, but it may likely assume some other shape, depending on the shape of the hearing instrument, determined in part by the shape of the ear canal.
  • the faceplate 10 is shown again in the elevation view of Figure 2 , attached to a shell 30, the portion of the hearing instrument inserted at least partially into the user's ear canal.
  • the faceplate 10 is shown without the electronics module 20 in Figure 3 , exposing the rectangular opening that serves as the faceplate receptacle 12. Also visible are two receptacle tongues 14 on the long sides 16 of the faceplate receptacle 12, shown again in partial cross-section in Figure 4 . As shown in the figure, the receptacle tongues 14 extend part way along the sides 16 of the faceplate receptacle 12.
  • the electronics module 20 is shown in a cross-sectional view in Figure 5 , with complementary grooves 22 that mate with the receptacle tongues 14 when the module 20 is inserted into the receptacle 12. Together, the receptacle tongues 14 and the complementary grooves 22 provide a secure mount for the electronics module 20 within the faceplate receptacle 12.
  • FIG. 6 Another view of the electronics module 20 is presented in Figure 6 (viewed from the top), illustrating the module's outer contour 24 that conforms to the faceplate receptacle 12.
  • the grooves 22 are shown as running the length of the module 20 (see the side view in Figure 7 ), they need only be sufficiently long to accommodate the receptacle tongues 14, as suggested by the shorter dashed lines 26.
  • a side elevation view of an electronics module 20 with shorter grooves 28 is shown in Figure 8 .
  • the grooves 22 may be provided with a flare 40 at the end 42 of the module 20, as shown in Figure 9 .
  • the module grooves 22 may be provided with one or two ridges 44, as illustrated in Figure 10 .
  • the ridges 44 will cut into the receptacle tongues 14, providing a more secure registration.
  • the grooves may also have cross-sectional shapes other than rectangular, such as semi-circular 46 in Figure 11 or triangular 48 in Figure 12 .
