Abstract

Système de retenue capable de maintenir une charge externe relativement importante au niveau du méat acoustique externe ou du pavillon de l'oreille. Des protubérances (12, 13) se trouvent à une extrémité d'un bras de retenue (11), l'une d'elles (12, 13) insérée dans une première courbe (17) du méat, et un trou (14) capable de retenir une charge externe se trouve à l'autre extrémité du bras (11). Un support de protubérance (55) comportant des protubérances (52, 53) est fixé rotatif sur un trou (51b) situé à une extrémité d'un bras de retenue (51) et l'une des protubérances (52, 53) est insérée dans la première courbe (17) du méat de sorte que la charge externe soit retenue à l'autre extrémité du bras (51). Enfin, l'angle et la position des protubérances (52, 53) peuvent faire l'objet d'un réglage arbitraire.
