All components are mounted in a flat, cylindrical housing (1), whose cover (2) can be rotated around a hollow shaft (6) which acts as the sound inlet channel (4), actuates the on/off switch (8, 9) and carries on its inner side at least one wiper (11) which, in contact with at least one resistive strip (10), acts as a volume control.
151 Hearing aid volume control US815877 1977-07-14 US4117444A 1978-09-26 Bradrick Alan Hildreth; Donald Harrison Stephens
A potentiometer and switch combination suitable for use as a hearing aid volume control. A control cap positioned over the potentiometer body is provided with an integral cam which performs the function of switch actuation. Positive seal is provided by an O-ring formed from a flexible, resilient material. The body of the potentiometer holds the control cap in place by means of heat stakes over a lip on the housing and a post having a chevron at its upper end which mates with a recess in the control cap. The cap is positioned by heat staking to press the stiffly flexible, resilient material of the O-ring into frictional sealing relation with an abutting member and thereby seal the interior of the potentiometer housing. The sealing arrangement also introduces a torque which opposes the rotation of the control cap, thus providing positional stability and positive operating feel. The switch includes conductive strips held by the body, one strip forming a first contact surface and another strip forming a spring detent and a second contact surface. Rotating the cap moves the cam so as to actuate the switch, and also causes the spring detent to snap so as to give the operator a positive switching feel.

156 ELECTROMECHANICAL SWITCH PCT/CH0100584 2001-09-27 WO0205387A3 2002-08-15 PORTMANN PAUL
The switching part (1) of the inventive switch is tightly enclosed by an elastic membrane (5) in at least the area of its free end. Said membrane also envelopes the contact surfaces (2) which face towards the switching part (1), at a distance, and is tightly connected to the switch housing (4; 6). This ensures that the contact area is tightly sealed in relation to the environment of the switch, which in turn ensures reliable protection against contamination and oxidation of the contact surfaces. The number of switch components is reduced, advantageously, an additional mechanical spring for holding the latching position of the switching part (1) being superfluous, and miniature embodiments are therefore also possible.
