Description
SEALING ASSEMBLY FOR INFLATABLE IN-EAR DEVICE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention concerns an inflatable in-ear device and in particular has reference to a component thereof for sealing the device during its inflation.
In-ear devices include intra-aural hearing protectors (earplugs), earphones, hearing-aid devices and the like and the invention relates to custom-fitting in-ear devices that are formed in situ to conform morphologically to the inside of the ear canal and the cavum concha of the individual.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors have proposed hearing protection devices which offer custom-fitting to the ear of the individual and are exemplified and claimed in US
Patent Nos. 6,339,648 and 6,754,357 to McIntosh et al. Principally, these devices comprise a core member around which is arranged a sheath in a deflated state, a permanent setting compound being injected into the cavity defined between the core member and the sheath to bring the device into morphological conformity to the contours of the ear canal. In this way, the in-ear device is produced in customized fashion thus enhancing the performance thereof and indeed the comfort of the individual.
One of the problems associated with the formation of the in situ device in terms of the injection of the setting compound is to ensure a proper locking and sealing of the core member and the sheath to prevent inadvertent leakage.
There is thus a need to provide an improved sealing assembly for an inflatable in-ear device.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a general object of the present invention to provide an improved sealing assembly for an inflatable in-ear device provided with a novel and inventive feature for locking and sealing the sheath to the core member at least during inflation of the sheath to conform morphologically to the ear canal of the individual, that solves the above-mentioned problems.
An advantage of the present invention is that the sealing assembly enables swift and effective location and sealing as between the sheath and the core member prior to inflation of the sheath.
Another advantage of the present invention is that the sealing assembly has the provision of an end capping for engaging the core member and the sheath, a platform being provided for the core member.
According to an aspect of the present invention there is provided an inflatable in-ear device comprises a core member of generally similar form to the contour of the ear canal of an individual, a sound bore being defined within and through the core member from a region exterior to the ear canal to a relatively inner region within the ear canal, a platform to which the core member is attached exteriorly of the ear canal, an inflatable open-ended sheath having a closed end secured to the relatively inner region of the core member, the sheath assuming a first inverted condition and being foldable into an inflatable condition in close adjacency to the core member prior to inflation, the open end of the sheath being provided with a retention ring adapted for sealing registration with the core member when the sheath is folded into said inflatable condition in which the registration of the ring with the core member is effected.
The registration of the ring on the sheath with the core member is achieved by the provision of a locating recess on the core member into which the ring is positively disposed, and preferably slightly sprung or stretched, for locking and sealing of the sheath to the core member.
Adhesives or other forms of bonding strategies may be used to secure the assembly once the ring is positioned in the recess of the core member.
The platform is provided with an inlet for a settable material employed for the inflation of the sheath and an outlet for the egress of any excess material that may issue from the cavity between the core member and the sheath as a result of full injection of the material. The inlet and the outlet provided in the platform communicate in flow relationship with a corresponding inlet and outlet formed in the core member.
An exterior end capping for the device is provided and has a mating surface for abutment in situ with the platform to ensure positive retention of the ring within the recess.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the following description.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Further aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the description in association with the following figures, in which similar references used in different figures denote similar components, wherein:
Figure 1 is a part cross-sectional schematic view of an inflatable in-ear device with a sealing assembly in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, showing the sheath in a full inverted condition;
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 with the sheath shown in the process of being folded into close adjacency with the core member; and Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 with the in-ear device about to be inserted into an ear canal prior to the inflation of the sheath in situ in the ear canal.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to the drawings, there is shown generally at 1 an in-ear device which may be employed as a hearing protection device or as a hearing aid. The device 1 comprises a core member 2 contoured generally to the expected shape of an ear canal 4 (see Figure 3), the member 2 having a nipple section 6 of for example soft silicone or the like with a sound bore 8 extending from the relatively outer region 9 of the member locatable outside the ear canal 4 to the further end 10. At the region 9 the core member 2 is mounted in platform 12 having a central boss 12' through which the sound bore 8 also extends as shown with a termination plug 13.
The core member 2 has two passageways 14, 16 which are for the entry and excess discharge respectively of the inflating settable fluid material (not shown).
The platform 12 of the core member 2 is provided with an annular recess 20 circumscribing the boss 12' of the platform 12 and further has two passageways 14', 16' corresponding to and in flow communication with the passageways 14, 16.
An end capping 22 is provided for the platform 12 and has a central opening 18 to accept the plug 13 and provide clearance for access to the passageways 14', 16'.
The capping 22 has an abutment surface 20' for contacting the recess 20 as a means of retention as described below. Means for locking capping 22 to the platform 12 could include thermal welding or the use of bonding agents or the like.
At the further end 10 of the core member 2 there is affixed the closed end 30 of an inflatable sheath 32 which as illustrated in Figure 1 is inverted, i.e. turned inside out, with its open end 33 shown extended from the core member 2. Its open end 33 is characterised by a substantially larger and thicker outer ring 34, or beading or lip for the purpose of registration within the annular recess 20 in a manner similar to that of an O-ring.
In Figure 2 the sheath 32 is shown being rolled back over the core member 2 in the direction of the arrows and finally assumes the inflatable condition illustrated in Figure 3 wherein the ring 34 of the sealing assembly has been put into registration within the annular recess 20 to provide a secure location and sealing for the sheath 32. Figure 3 also shows the application of the end capping 22 over the end of the platform 12 and the core member 2, the abutment surface 20' of the capping having created an enclosure for the annular recess 20 to capture the ring within the recess 20 in a positive fashion, although additional locking means could be considered (see hereinabove).
The in-ear device in the condition illustrated in Figure 3 is ready for insertion into the ear canal 4 of the ear 40, the sheath 32 enveloping the core member 2 to give a space 50 for the injection of an inflation medium (not shown) through the passages 14, 16, 14', 16' once the device has been fully inserted into the canal 4.
The injection of the medium effects a customised formation within the canal 4 whereby the inflated sheath 32' conforms morphologically to the shape and contours of the ear canal, as shown in dotted lines. The registration of the ring 34 5 with the mating surface 20 ensures correct positioning and sealing to ensure prevention of leakage at the point where the sheath 32 meets the core member 2 at its relatively outer end.
Although the present invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that the disclosure has been made by way of example only and that the present invention is not limited to the features of the embodiments described and illustrated herein, but includes all variations and modifications within the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
