Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hearing aid attachable holder for any hearing aid accessories, with one open on the front, one on one end Hearing aid slide-on housing and means for detachable Attach the holder to the hearing aid, being on the inside of the housing from attaching the respective component provided connection point from electrical conductor tracks for Lead front, which with attached bracket with to Hearing aid electronics leading connecting conductors on the hearing aid in Contact.
  • Such mounts are under the technical name Audio shoe known.
  • These brackets are usually included very specific components and can be Attach snap locks to the hearing aid. Depending on your needs each equipped with a specific accessory component Holder attached to the hearing aid. That it is a complex technology is not to be overlooked. in addition comes that when loosening the snap lock mechanical Defects can occur (when forcing the Bracket), which questions the reuse of the bracket can put.
  • the object of the present invention is an audio shoe (Holder for components) so that on the one hand an exchange of components on the bracket is possible and also preferably at the same time unnecessary mechanical defects is met, i.e. great compatibility with components and hearing aids are also guaranteed with different battery sizes is.
  • the bracket thus serves as a connecting part between the Hearing aid and the various accessories.
  • the holder surrounding the hearing aid is individual different types of hearing aids can be structurally adjusted.
  • Interface developed, whose mechanical dimensions for all brackets are the same.
  • the attachment of the accessory components e.g. using two screws.
  • connection at the universal interface is mechanical and electrically stable and not for the user without tools accessible.
  • the bracket is preferably spring-actuated Locking latch held on to the hearing aid.
  • the bracket can only by spring-releasing finger pressure on the bolt from Hearing aid are removed. This construction prevents that unintentional falling of the holder from the hearing aid.
  • mechanical wear as is the case with conventional ones Plastic snapping is the case with this locking system avoided.
  • Fig. 1 of the drawing shows the connection purely schematically an accessory component with the universal interface the holder (audio shoe) and via this with the electronics contacts on the hearing aid.
  • Fig. 2 shows a holder 1 for placement on a hearing aid with interface 2, the actuation button for locking, as well as two different accessory components 4 'or 4 "(e.g. Radio signal receiver).
  • 4 'or 4 e.g. Radio signal receiver
  • FIG. 3 shows a holder 1 consisting of a housing 1 ' (Plastic shoe) with opening 5 on the front, one formed as interface 6 with associated electrical contact springs 7, 8 (one pair each), which are provided with contacts of the printed circuit boards the accessory component to be attached (not shown) in to achieve a mechanically and electrically stable connection.
  • the contact springs 7, 8 lead via conductors 7 ', 8' to the housing opening, after having been put on a hearing aid end Mating contacts of the hearing aid electronics in mechanical and electrically stable connection.
  • a latch 9 is provided, which on the inner wall of the housing led from one side of the housing to overlying leads and there under the influence of a Compression spring 10 is held in the closed position (at mounted bracket), the locking lug 9 'in a corresponding recess on the hearing aid clicks in and out of this Position can only be released if the button 9 "on Pressure is exerted against the action of the spring 10.
  • the locking lug 9 'could also be directly in the Nose area arranged spring-loaded actuation mechanism operated (not shown).
  • FIG. 4 finally shows a holder 11 according to FIG. 3 whose connection point 12 (interface) is more appropriate Accessory component 13 in the end of a hearing aid 14 attached position.
  • the electrical ones are clearly visible Conductors 7, 7 'and 8, 8' in contact with circuit boards 15, 16 of Accessory component 13 or the mating contacts 17, 18 of the hearing aid.
  • the circuit boards 15, 16 of the component 13 are thereby also by means of compression springs 19 against the conductor 7 or 8 pressed.
