Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Ohrstück mit Befestigungselement für im Ohr zu tragende, elektrische Schwerhörigengeräte mit einem die elektrischen Bauteile, wie Mikrophon, Batterie und Verstärker, aufnehmenden Gehäuse, an dem ein in den Gehörgang einzuführendes und das Gerät im Ohr haltendes, aus nachgiebigem Werkstoff bestehendes Ohrstück befestigt ist, das das Telefon aufnimmt und auf der dem Trommelfell zugewandten Seite eine Schallaustrittsöffnung aufweist.The invention relates to an earpiece with a fastening element for electrical ones to be worn in the ear Devices for the hearing impaired with one the electrical components, such as microphone, battery and amplifier, receiving housing on which one to be inserted into the ear canal and the device in the ear holding, made of resilient material earpiece is attached, which takes the phone and has a sound outlet opening on the side facing the eardrum.
Es sind heute in weitem Umfang im Ohr zu tragende elektrische Schwerhörigengeräte bekannt (z.B. britische Patentschrift 828 972 und USA-Patentschrift 2 938 083), die im wesentlichen die Form eines rechten Winkels aufweisen und derart gestaltet sind, daß in dem einen Schenkel dieses Winkels die elektrischen Bauteile untergebracht werden und in einem Teil des anderen Schenkels dieses Winkels das sogenannte Telefon angeordnet ist, wobei das Gerät mit diesem das Telefon aufnehmenden und im wesentlichen aus einem Ohrstück bestehenden Schenkel in den eigentlichen Gehörgang eingeführt und hier festgehalten wird. Hierbei besteht für jeden Träger eines solchen Gerätes die Schwierigkeit, daß das Gerät unter Umständen nicht die dem Ohrgang entsprechende Abwinklung zwischen den beiden Schenkeln aufweist, so daß dadurch im Ohr Druckstellen beim Tragen des Gerätes entstehen, die natürlich unerwünscht sind.Electrical devices for the hearing impaired to be worn in the ear are known today to a large extent (e.g. British Patent 828,972 and U.S. Patent 2,938,083), essentially comprising the Have the shape of a right angle and are designed such that in one leg this Angle the electrical components are housed and in a part of the other leg of this The so-called telephone is arranged at an angle, with the device taking up the telephone with this and introduced into the actual auditory canal, legs consisting essentially of an ear piece and is held here. Here there is the difficulty for every wearer of such a device that the device may not have the angle between the two corresponding to the ear canal Has legs, so that pressure points arise in the ear when wearing the device, which of course are undesirable.
Es sind auch bereits Geräte vorgeschlagen worden (deutsche Patentschrift 1126 929), die mit einem rechtwinklig abstehenden, weichen Schenkel ausgerüstet sind; jedoch wurde dann in diesem Schenkel nicht das Telefon angeordnet, so daß für die von dem Telefon abgegebenen akustischen Wellen ein recht weiter Weg zurückgelegt werden mußte, ehe sie an das Trommelfell des das Gerät Tragenden gelangten. Auch wurde das Gerät dadurch, daß auch das Telefon in dem bereits die anderen elektrischen Bauteile aufnehmenden Schenkel untergebracht werden mußte, relativ groß und damit schwer im Ohr zu halten.There are also devices have already been proposed (German Patent 1126 929) that with a at right angles protruding, soft legs are equipped; however it was then in this thigh not the phone arranged so that one for the acoustic waves emitted by the phone had to be covered quite a long way before they could reach the eardrum of the person wearing the device. The device was also built in that the telephone already contained the other electrical components receiving leg had to be accommodated, relatively large and therefore difficult to hold in the ear.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einerseits das Telefon möglichst nahe am Trommelfell des Benutzers anzuordnen, zum anderen den Schenkel, der unmittelbar im eigentlichen Ohrgang liegt, so weich und elastisch zu gestalten, daß er auch den verschiedenen Abwinklungen, die in der Natur vorkommen, gerecht wird, wobei trotzdem eine einwandfreie und sichere Halterung des Schenkels und damit des ganzen Gerätes gewährleistet ist. Die Haltevorrichtung soll auch in einer Serienproduktion leicht hergestellt werden können.The invention is based on the one hand, the phone as close as possible to the eardrum of the User to arrange, on the other hand, the leg that lies directly in the actual ear canal, so to make it soft and elastic, so that it can also cope with the various bends that occur in nature, is fair, but still a perfect and secure mounting of the leg and so that the whole device is guaranteed. The holding device should also be used in series production can be easily manufactured.

Das der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Ziel wird dadurch erreicht, daß das der Schallaustrittsöffnung gegenüberliegende Ende des hohlen Ohrstückes mit einer Ringlippe versehen ist, die hinter den Rand einer in der Gehäusewandung vorgesehenen öffnung greift und in dieser öffnung durch das die Verbindungsmittel zwischen Telefon und Mikrophon enthaltende Befestigungselement festgelegt ist.The object on which the invention is based is achieved in that that of the sound outlet opening opposite end of the hollow ear piece is provided with an annular lip, which is behind the edge an opening provided in the housing wall engages and in this opening through which the connecting means between the phone and microphone containing fastening element is set.
Es ist ersichtüch, daß durch diesen erfindungsgemäßen Vorschlag eine einwandfreie Halterung des das Telefon aufnehmenden, elastischen Arms an dem Gerät erreicht wird, wobei diese Halterung sehr einfach ausgebildet ist und somit auch in einer großindustriellen Produktion leicht und ohne Schwierigkeiten hergestellt werden kann. Das derart in dem elastischen Arm gelagerte Telef on liegteinerseitsnahe am Trommelfell des Benutzers, andererseits wird durch die Lagerung des Telefons in dem elastischen Arm keine Behinderung der Abwinkelbewegungen bedingt, und schließlich wird eine Verteilung der Bauteile auf beide Schenkel des Gerätes erreicht, die zur besseren Tragbarkeit des Gerätes beiträgt.It is ersichtüch that by this proposal according to the invention a proper holding of the The elastic arm holding the phone is achieved on the device, this holder being very simple is designed and thus easily and without difficulty even in large-scale industrial production can be produced. The telephone mounted in this way in the elastic arm is close on the one hand on the eardrum of the user, on the other hand, is due to the storage of the phone in the elastic Arm does not cause any obstruction of the angular movements, and eventually becomes a distribution of the Components reached on both legs of the device, which contributes to the better portability of the device.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich dann weiterhin auf eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des Vorschlages gemäß dem Hauptanspruch.The invention then further relates to a preferred embodiment of the proposal according to the main claim.
Um die durch die unterschiedliche Ausbildung des menschlichen Gehörganges für die Halterung des Gerätes im Ohr bedingten Schwierigkeiten weiterhin herabzumindern, wird gemäß der Erfindung vor-Due to the different training of the human ear canal for the support of the Device in the ear-related difficulties continue to reduce, is according to the invention before
