  • Corresponding parts are marked with the same reference symbols in all figures.
  • Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view of a charger 1 for hearing devices 7. Figure 2 is another schematic view of the charger 1.
  • The charger 1 may be configured as a box comprising a base part 2 and a lid 3 for covering the base part 2, wherein the lid 3 may be coupled to the base part 2 by a hinge 4, e.g. a live hinge. The base part 2 may comprise an inlay 5 having one or more holding cavities 6, preferably two holding cavities 6, for receiving a hearing device 7 or a part thereof, e.g. a behind the ear part 8 or a part thereof. A respective ear level part 9 adapted to be worn at least partially within an ear canal of a user may be coupled to each behind the ear part 8 by a cable 10. In an exemplary embodiment, each holding cavity 6 may be configured to receive a portion, e.g. a rear end 8.1, of a behind the ear part 8 while the cable 10 may emerge from a forward end 8.2 of the behind the ear part 8. In an exemplary embodiment, the behind the ear part 8 may have a bent shape, e.g. resembling a banana, and the holding cavities 6 are formed complementary to the rear end 8.1 of the behind the ear part 8. In an exemplary embodiment, the shapes of the behind the ear part 8 for a left ear may differ from the one for the right ear and so the holding cavities 6 differ from each other in shape thus making apparent which behind the ear part 8 is supposed to be put into which holding cavity 6. In particular, the holding cavities 6 are shaped so that the hearing devices or behind the ear parts 8 lay tilted sideways and/or that the behind the ear parts 8 protrude from them at an angle of about 30° to 80° from a perpendicular on the inlay 5 such that forward end 8.2 of the behind the ear part 8 bends back toward the inlay 5.
  • This allows for presenting the hearing devices 7 from the side without compromising size and usability. The base part 2 and the lid 3 may have a squarish cross section with round edges.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic view of one of the holding cavities 6 holding a rear end 8.1 of the behind the ear part 8. The rear end 8.1 contains a magnetisable part 11 made from a magnetisable material. For each holding cavity 6 one or more magnets 12.1, 12.2 are arranged in the inlay 5 at an end of the holding cavity 6 where the rear end 8.1 of the behind the ear part 8 is located, preferably at a distance allowing for attracting the magnetisable part 11. In an exemplary embodiment, two magnets 12.1, 12.2 are provided for each holding cavity 6. In particular, the two magnets 12.1, 12.2 may be arranged at an angle relative to each other, e.g. at an angle of about 90 ° to 120°, wherein the holding cavity 6 is arranged so that the rear end 8.1 of the behind the ear part 8 projects into this angle. Each of the magnets 12.1, 12.2 has a north pole N and a south pole S. In an exemplary embodiment, one of the magnets 12.1 faces the magnetisable part 11 with the north pole N while the other one of the magnets 12.2 faces the magnetisable part 11 with the south pole S.
  • This way, a magnetic loop is created through the magnetisable part 11, causing the retention of the hearing device 7, in particular the behind the ear part 8 thereof, in the charger 1.
  • Figure 4 is a schematic view of an alternative configuration of one of the holding cavities 6 holding a rear end 8.1 of the behind the ear part 8.
  • In an exemplary embodiment, a magnetisable plate 13 may be provided in the inlay 5 behind the magnets 12.1, 12.2, i.e. facing away from the holding cavity 6 in order to create a magnetic shortcut between the south pole S of the magnet 12.1 and the north pole N of the magnet 12.2 thus closing the magnetic loop. This magnetisable plate 13 improves the magnetic field if required. As a consequence space requirements may be reduced even further.
  • Figure 5 is a schematic view of another exemplary embodiment of the charger 1.
  • Figure 6 is a schematic sectional view of the charger 1 of figure 5. In addition to the above described charger 1, the charger 1 of figures 5 and 6 comprises a lifting mechanism 14 configured to lift the inlay 5 at least at one end thereof, e.g. the end closest to the hinge 4, as the lid 3 is opened. When the lid 3 is closed, the lifting mechanism 14 will put the inlay 5 deeper down into the base part 2 again. For this purpose, the lifting mechanism 14 may comprise a cam track 15 on one of the lid 3 and the inlay 5 and a cam follower 16 on the other one of the lid 3 and the inlay 5. In particular, the cam track 15 and cam follower 16 are located at a lower side of the inlay 5 thus covered by the inlay 5 within the base part 2. An end of the inlay 5 remote from the hinge 4 may be rotatably supported in the base part 2.
  • When opening the charger 1, the lifting mechanism 14 automatically lifts the inlay 5 with the hearing devices 7 such that they can be accessed much easier.
  • Furthermore, the charger 1 comprises circuitry for charging a respective battery arranged in the hearing device 7, in particular in the behind the ear part 8 thereof, e.g. through galvanic contacts or in a wireless fashion.
