STIMULATION DEVICE

摘要

A stimulation device for transcutaneous electric stimulation stimulus onto the surface of a section of the human ear comprises a holding element attached at or in the ear, at least two electrodes arranged in or at an electrode carrier. To obtain high contact quality of the electrodes with high wearing comfort, the holding element consists of one part designed as holding bow for placement between the surface of the head and the Pinna (P) of the device wearer, the other part designed as connection element between the holding bow and the electrode carrier; between the holding bow and the connection element a hinge joint is arranged such that use of the device allows swivel movement of the connection element relatively to the holding bow around an axis (S) parallel or under an angle (α) of less than 30° to the straight ahead viewing direction (G) of the device wearer.

主权项

1. Stimulation device for the application of a transcutaneous electric stimulation stimulus onto the surface of a section of the human ear, which comprises:
a holding element which can be attached at or in the ear as well as at least two electrodes which are arranged in or at an electrode carrier,whereinthe holding element for the electrode carrier consists of two parts,wherein one of the parts is designed as holding bow which is designed for the placement between the surface of the head and the Pinna of the wearer of the stimulation device,wherein the other part is designed as connection element between the holding bow and the electrode carrier,wherein between the holding bow and the connection element a hinge joint is arranged which during intended use of the stimulation device allows a swivel movement of the connection element relatively to the holding bow around an axis which is parallel or under an angle of less than 30° to the straight ahead viewing direction of the wearer of the stimulation device.
