Application August 22, i952, Serial No. 305,781
7 Claims. (Cl. 179-114) The present invention relates to a miniature hearingaid receiver, and it particularly relates to an extremely small sized receiver which may be eectively concealed in and around the ear cavity.
it is among the objects of the present invention to provide a miniature nearing-aid assembly which may be mounted in or adjacent to the ear cavity and which will be extremely small in size without any diminution in the transmission of sound.
Another object is to provide a hearing-aid miniature receiver of a size less than one half inch diameter with full capacity and maximum sound emission efficiency in which there is a minimum volume and weight and a maximum amount or generation of sound.
A further object is to provide a compact, highly eilicient miniature receiver which is so arranged as to permit maximum eiliciency with very small size diaphragm chambers and most elective application of magnetic forces.
In accomplishing the above objects it has been found most successful according to one embodiment of the present invention to provide a circular dat hearing-aid assembly the maximum diameter and depth or thickness of which shall not substantially exceed one half inch.
Desirably, an annular magnet receives an annular winding which is mounted upon and carried around a central pole piece. The annular magnet carries a permeable collector plate on one side upon `which the diaphragm is mounted. The edge of the collector plate preferably is ridged so as to form a clearance or separation between the central pole piece between the center of the diaphragm and allow sufcient space to give free vibration to the diaphragm.
The annular magnet with the collector plate on one side and a pole piece carrier plate and insulating plate on the other side form a sub-assembly which may be telescoped between two small cups forming the outer casing.
One of the cups may be of aluminum with a tubular or centrally bored ear projection stopple. The other casing cup may be of a molded resin such as molded Bakelite or phenyl formaldehyde resin.
Desirahly, the insulating plate will carry suitable contacts in close parallelism to each other which may be positioned to establish an electrical circuit with two prong plug pins which are inserted through the sides of the housing.
The shapinfr of the center pole piece and the close positioning of the collector plate to the pole piece permit magnetic forces to be applied to the smallest center circle possible with successful lluz; to give maximum eciency even with a small diaphragm less than one half inch.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specically 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 modi- Patented July 10, 1956 cations can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.
in the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views:
Fig. l is a radial transverse sectional View of a hearing-aid miniature receiver, according to the present invention, showing the plug or pins in position establishing contact.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view upon the line 2--2 of Fig. l, showing the manner of insertion of the plug pins.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View of an alternative embodiment similar to Fig. 1.
Referring to Figs. l and 2 there is shown an annular magnet A which forms the main structural element, which acts as a carrier for and to receive the inside cup E having the ear engaging member C and the outside cup D.
nEhe annular magnet A may be of an aluminum nickel cobalt alloy or some other highly magnetic alloy whereas the inside cup B is preferably of aluminum while the outside cup D is of Bakelite or some other molded synthetic plastic material.
Mounted on one side or" the annular magnet A is the collector plate E which in turn carries the diaphragm On the other side of the annular magnet A is mounted the plate G carrying the stepped pole piece H. Between the stepped pole piece H and the magnet A is the annular coil or winding i.
rhe plate G carries the insulating plate or disc K through which project the plug pins L. The plug pins L are designed to establish a circuit with the plug pins M of the plug N. As shown in Fig. l the device is about six to eight times its actual size and the diameter and thickness do not exceed one half inch.
Specifically, the aluminum cup B has a shallow recess and a deeper recess llt which form one side of the diaphragm chamber. The deeper recess l) communicates with the conical chamber 12 which opens into the main passageway 3.3 in the nipple C. The sound will pass from the vibrating diaphragm F through the passageway into the ear cavity.
The side walls Efio the shallow recess 1t) receive the edges i5 or" the diaphragm as well as the edges i6 of the collector plate E. rlhe elevated ridge at 17 on the periphery of the collector plate E will leave a shallow space l on the other side of the diaphragm F giving sufficient freedom to the diaphragm F to vibrate and generate sound waves.
rhe diaphragm i: has the thin metal disc 19 with a central button or enlargement Ztl through which the main ux passes as indicated at 2l, 22 and 23 in Fig. 3.
The central pole piece projects as indicated at 30 to be hush with the base 31 of the shallow recess 18 inside or the diaphragm F. The pole piece is recessed as indiated at 3?. and has a step 33 which is encircled by the inside face 34 of the coil I. The coil l fits closely around the base of the pole piece H and against the face 35' of the plate G.
The annular magnet A rests upon the shoulder 36 on the interior of the cup B, and it closely ts against the interior face 37 of the telescoped tubular extension 38 of the cup or shell B.
Ehe outer edges 39 of the telescoping shell 3S fit around the enlarged portion ttl of the cup D. The face 4l of the cup D ahuts the annular magnet to limit its telescoping inside the tubular member 38.
periphery of the base plate G of the pole piece H closely tits within the interior opening 42 of the outside cup D. The base plate G carries the insulating plate H by the rivet or pin 43. At the opposite side to the pin 43 are two plug pins L, which as shown in Fig.
- 3 l project through the plate G at 44 and through the insulating plate K at 45.
The interior of the cup has an enlargement 46, the bottom face d'7 of Whichrabuts the plate K. This enlargement has two recesses 48 to receive the ends 49 of the plug pins L.
The enlargement 46 also has two lateral openings 59 to receive the plug pins M attached to the external plug N with the external Wiring 5l.
As shown best in Fig. 2 these pins M are notched at 52 to snap around the sides of the plug pins L and make the permanent connection.
The construction as shown gives full capacity to the diaphragm F and provides suh'icient chamber space at i8 on one side, and at 1d and 1l on the other side, to permit full and free vibration of the diaphragm F. At the same time, the reduced diameter portion 32 ot' the pole piece shall permit an outlowing ot as indicated at 2l, 22 and 23 into the collector plate C, giving maximum etliciency in respect to vibration of the diaphragm F.
It will be noted that the annular magnet is actually the body of the receiver and everything is mounted upon the annular magnet A which may be smaller than one half inch in diameter and less than three eighths of an inch thick.
On one side of the magnet A are mounted the collector plate and the diaphragm while on the other side is mounted the terminals and the base plate for the pole piece.
The applicant has thus provided a miniature hearingaid receiver of a size less than one-half inch in diameter and thickness entirely mounted upon an annular magnet A constituting and forming the main structure.
This annular magnet carries the permeable collector ring E which supports the edge of the diaphragm at one side.
The base plate G of the pole piece H on the other side carries the connector pins which form the main contacts for the connecting plugs.
The stepped shape of the pole piece H assures most effective utilization of the flux 21-2223- While there has been herein described a preferred form of the invention, it should be understood that the same may be altered in details and in relative arrangement of parts Within the scope of the appended claims.
The embodiment of Fig. 3 is substantially identical with the embodiment of Figs. l and 2 and similarly functioning parts being indicated by the same numerals primed. plate E has been so extended at its inner end to abut upon and support the inner periphery of the coil I.
