Abstract

Hearing aids have previously been operated with button-cell NC batteries. To make the user independent of the batteries, my hearing aids are supplied with power from solar cells. These have the property of converting sunlight, daylight or artificial light into electrical current. The user can thus hear at any time and without restrictions, without having to worry that his hearing aid will stop because of a power failure. Batteries, in contrast, only have an operating life of a few hours when they must be exchanged against new ones. Batteries can additionally be used in alternation, an interruptor switching off the plug connection to the solar-cell part. The solar-cell holder can have different shape, as a square, flat rectangle, circle, semicircular column or hemisphere. It can also be designed as an ornament in the form of a blossom, cascade, clip or hair ornament, for the purposes of camouflage. The stranded electrical connecting wire can also be formed in the form of a chain. The battery located in the device is automatically switched off by the plug connection of the solar part. At home, the solar part can be placed under a desk lamp and will even work with a candle. The advantage is obvious. The listener is independent of batteries in developing countries, on journeys at sea, on land and in the air. My prototype generates current at up to 3.4 volts so that even smaller models ...

Description

Gegenstand: Externe Stromversorgung eines Hörhilfegerätes mittelsSubject: External power supply of a hearing aid device by means of

SOLAR-Zellen, an Stelle der herkömmlichen Knopf-Zellen-Nc-Batter ie. SOLAR cells, instead of the conventional button cell Nc batteries ie.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, Beschreibung der Erfindung Ein schallverstärkendes in unmittelbarer Nähe des Gehörorganes angebrachtes Hörhilfegerät bedarf einer elektrischen Energieversorgung. Die gebräuchliche Stromversorgung geschieht mittels einer Knopf-Zellen-NC-Batterie.Dear Sir or Madam, Description of the invention A sound-amplifying Hearing aid attached in the immediate vicinity of the hearing organ requires an electrical one Power supply. The usual power supply comes from a button cell NC battery.

Um auf Energieversorgung durch Batterien verzichten zu können soll die Energieversorgung durch SOLAR-Zellen ersetzt werden.In order to be able to do without energy supply by batteries the energy supply will be replaced by SOLAR cells.

Unter SOLAR-Zellen sind Siliciumblättchen (Photoelemente) zu verstehen die einfallendes Licht direkt in elektrische Energie umwandeln.SOLAR cells are silicon wafers (photo elements) which convert incident light directly into electrical energy.

Die Schutzansprüche erstrecken sich auf elektrische Energieversorgung mittels SOLAR-Zellen, Art und technische Ausführung der Stromzuführung und Ausführunsformen der Anordnung der SOLAR-Zellen. Einzelheiten sind im Antrag formal beschrieben.The protection claims extend to electrical energy supply by means of SOLAR cells, type and technical design of the power supply and design the arrangement of the SOLAR cells. Details are formally described in the application.

Hochachtungsvoll AnlagenSincerely yours
