Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical hearing aid, in particular a behind-the-ear hearing device, with a housing, a swing-out battery drawer for receiving a battery with battery spring contacts and an on-off switch.
  • an electrical hearing aid is known, the operating current of which is taken from a current source which is accommodated in the housing of the device in a drawer movable with a holder for exchanging a battery, and in which the operating current is caused by movement of the holder and Closing or releasing contacts on the device is switched on or off, with an active element between the holder and the housing snapping into the latching positions in the on and off position of the holder.
  • the holder of the known hearing aid is provided with a stop, in the displacement path of which on the housing there is a counter-stop which is at a distance corresponding to the switching path from the first-mentioned stop, and one of the stops being able to be disengaged and engaged with respect to the said displacement path.
  • US Pat. No. 3,475,566 describes a battery holder and switch for a BTE hearing aid, which is designed as a drawer that can be separated from the hearing aid housing and can be inserted into an opening in the hearing aid housing.
  • the switching process itself then takes place when the battery holder is inserted by rotating the holder around the central axis of the battery or it is an additional one On-off switch provided on the hearing aid housing.
  • the switching takes place in any case with the drawer completely closed. Since the battery holder can be completely separated from the hearing aid when replacing the battery, the battery holder can also be lost if the battery is used carelessly.
  • a BTE hearing aid is known from DE-B-25 03 253, in which the switching on and off takes place without an additional switch by means of a pivotable battery charger.
  • Two contacts are installed in relation to the battery drawer in the hearing aid that both contacts only touch the battery when it is fully pivoted into the hearing aid housing. In this first position, the hearing aid is switched on, i.e. all hearing aid components that need to be supplied with power are live.
  • the swiveling battery drawer has two additional swivel positions. In a second, somewhat swiveled-out position ("off" position), the battery touches at most one contact spring, but cannot be removed or fall out since the battery drawer only partially protrudes from the housing.
  • This position corresponds to the completely switched off state of the hearing aid, since all hearing aid components to be supplied with current are switched off by the battery.
  • a third position (“battery change” position) the battery drawer can be swung out of the hearing aid housing. The battery can be removed in this position.
  • the disadvantage here is that in the off position the battery drawer already partially protrudes from the hearing aid housing, therefore it also acts optically disruptive and the battery drawer can be opened into the battery replacement position by an unconscious hand movement, it being easy for the battery to be unintentionally falls out and gets lost.
  • the invention has for its object a hearing aid of the type mentioned in relation to the design of the battery bracket and the on-off switch to simplify and improve.
  • this object is achieved in that the battery drawer is assigned a switch which switches on the hearing aid in one position and locks the battery drawer against opening, and switches off the hearing aid in its second position and releases the battery drawer for opening.
  • a switch is used to switch the electrical hearing aid on and off, in an advantageous embodiment a rocker switch which is assigned to the battery drawer or, according to an advantageous embodiment, is held in the battery drawer or fastened to it or is mounted in it so that the battery drawer with the switch for The battery can be swung out of the device housing.
  • the battery drawer When the battery drawer is swiveled into the device housing and when the BTE device or hearing glasses are switched on by the rocker switch, the battery drawer is locked by the switch and cannot be opened when the switch is in the on position. If the switch is swiveled into the off position, its cams snap out of the recesses in the housing and at the same time a sliding switch lug engages behind a battery contact spring and lifts it from the battery pole to switch off the hearing aid. It is therefore only possible to open the battery drawer after switching off the hearing aid. The battery door cannot be opened when the hearing aid is in operation.
  • FIGS 1 to 3 show a housing end section 1 of an electrical hearing aid to be worn behind the ear, in particular a BTE hearing aid or a hearing aid of hearing glasses.
  • the housing 1 of the hearing device preferably consists of two shells 2, 3, which enclose components of the hearing device that are not shown in detail.
  • a battery drawer 4 At the distal end of the housing 1 there is a battery drawer 4 in a slot-shaped recess, which battery 5 for powering the electrical hearing aid components, such as Microphone, amplifier and handset, and which in the exemplary embodiment is pivotally mounted about an axis 6 in the housing.
  • a first contact spring 7 rests on the positive pole and a second contact spring 8 on the negative pole of the battery 5 when a rocker switch is in the switch position according to FIGS ter 9 is in the switch position shown.
  • the rocker switch 9 is actuated so that its rocker arm 10 is in the depressed position and the rocker arm 11 is in the raised position.
  • a link 12 of the switch is withdrawn so far that, for example, the contact spring 8 can assume the contact position with the negative pole of the battery 5.
  • the pivot axis 13 can consist of a rib molded onto the battery drawer 4, for example with a circular cross-section, onto which the rocker 10, 11 or the like with a molded pivot pin 14. can be snapped on.
  • the battery door 4 is also locked by the switch 9 against opening.
  • at least one locking lug 15 or the like is provided on the rocker arm 10 according to the exemplary embodiment. integrally formed, which engages in a catch 16 of one or the two housing shells 2 and 3.
  • the locking lugs 15 can consist of side cams of the rocker switch which can be locked into correspondingly shaped notches (receptacles 16 or recesses in the housing shells 2, 3).
  • side cheeks 17 are provided.
  • the rocker switch shown in the embodiment is not wider than the battery drawer 4 and can therefore be attached to the battery drawer.
  • the rocker 10, 11 of the rocker switch 9 is placed with a molded pivot 14 against a receptacle 13 of the battery drawer.
  • a link 12 which interrupts the contact position of at least the contact spring 8 against a battery pole can be actuated.
  • the backdrop 12 is integrally formed on a rocker arm or on the rocker.
  • the hearing aid is in the switched-off state.
  • a switch nose designed as a link 12 engages behind the battery contact spring 8 and lifts it off the battery terminal in order to switch off the hearing aid.
  • the rocker 10, 11 is brought into this off-switch position, the locking of the parts 15, 16 is also released and the battery charger can be pivoted into the open position — to replace the battery — according to FIG. 3 when the hearing aid is switched off.
  • a recess 19 or a receptacle of the housing can be seen, in which a cam 18 of the rocker switch engages in the switched-on state.
