Patented June 15, 1954 BONE CONDUCTION HEARING AID UNIT Harry B. Shaper, Astoria, N. Y., assignor to Dyna-v Labs, Inc., a corporation of New York Application February 25, 1949, Serial No. '78,364
1 claim. 1
The present invention relates to a bone conduction hearing aid device.
Considerable dimculty has been experienced with hearing aid bone conduction units because of the lack of compactness and because they do not have eiiciency necessary to permit a satisfactory amount of energy to the cochlea with the audio energy available from past conducting amplifiers.
Furthermore, many units are very susceptible to damage upon dropping, pulling or accidental hammering.
It is among the objects of the present invention to provide a novel bone conduction hearing aid unit which will be quite durable and not be readily subjected to damage and the internal critical elements of which will not be subject to displacement or deformation upon dropping, pulling or accidental hammering.
Another object is to provide a bone conduction hearing aid unit which will be small and compact and readily manufactured at low cost and which will be highly ecient to transmit substantial energy to the cochlea with the normal milliwatts of audio energy available from a vest-pocket Still further objects and advantages will appear from the more detailed description set forth below, it being understood, however, that this more detailed description is given by way of illustration and explanation only and not by way of limitation, since various changes therein may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
In accomplishing the above objects it has been found most satisfactory to provide a construction in which the heavy part of the hearing aid device, or the magnet and its associated structures, is
attached to the head band and the armature is maintained mounted upon the casing and its movement in respect to the magnet structure limited by the guard plate.
The swivel joint of the head band is attached to the magnetic structure instead of the housing and the forces developed between the armature and the main magnetic assembly are transmitted to the bone structure by the casing.
As a result there is very little likelihood of dropping, pulling or accidental hammering, tending to permanently deform the armature, since on the preferred construction, the extreme movement of the armature is limited by the guard plate, for example, to as small a movement as In general, the unit consists of a cup-like casing, preferably of plastic material, with an adhesively attached cover. Through a central opening in the cover is positioned a ball socket connection between the hand bank and the back of the magnetic structure.
Mounted in the bottom of the cup-like casing is the diaphragm which is provided with fixed spacer or guard plates to prevent distortion or deformation thereof beyond the maximum desired limited movement thereof, for example, .005.
With the foregoing and other objects in View the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claim hereunto appended.
In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views:
Fig. 1 is a side perspective View showinga hearing aid bone conduction unit in accordance with the present invention, with a head strap. l Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical sectional view upon the line 2 2 of Fig. 1 upon an enlarged scale as compared to Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is aperspective exploded or separated view of the combination or unit of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a detail fragmentary side sectional view showing how electrical connection is made to said unit.
Referring to Fig. 1, there is provided a head band A, a head contact portion B, and the hearing aid bone conduction unit C which is mounted upon a swivel combination D. Y
The unit C, as best shown in Fig. 3, has a plastic cover E, a retainer sleeve F forming part of the swivel combination, a magnet assembly G, a diaphragm or armature H, a guard plate I, a main casing unit J and a plug-in connectionK with electrical wires leading to the vest pocket amplifier unit, not shown.
Referring specifically to Fig. 3, the casing J has va base 20 with the recesses 2l and 22 formed therein to receive the heads 2S and 24 of the screws 25 and 26. The central portion of the base 20 is provided with a platform 21 with the openings 28.
The two openings 28 receive the shanks 29 of the screws 3G, which are held inplace by lthe shoulders 3l. The recesses are then filled up by plastic material 32'so that a smooth face 33 with the conforming curvature 34 will it against the side of the head and in contact with the skull or mastoid bone.
At one end of the casing J there is a ledge 35, the ends of which extend into the recesses 36 in the side straight walls 31 of the casing J. The top of the ledge 35 is provided with the recesses 38V and 39.
The elongated recesses 39 communicate with the openings 40 (see Fig. 4), into which extends the prongs 4| of the plug K. Y
The recesses 38 receive screws-or rivets which. hold the plates 42 (see Fig. 4) in position. These downturned fingers 43. The fingers V43ccnt'act the recesses 44 in the prongs 4| ,;where..the,y ps0.-- ject into the recess 39.
It will be noted V(see Fig. Y3) that the end-'wall 50 of the casingJ is curved whereas the end Wall .5,;|i ispolygcnal so. as 'toiorm ajiiat surface 52 .for the .plug Theguard plate ltsinto the plastic receiver lJ with its, curvedpedges- 52 and .53 contactingthe inner curvedV faces 5.4 of thefwalls y5.0ia11d'55; of the ledge35.
