Abstract
An implantable component, such as that utilized for a bone conduction device, the implantable component including a housing and a piezoelectric transducer, wherein the implantable component is configured to prevent the piezoelectric transducer from moving inside the housing. The implantable component can be configured to temporarily prevent the piezoelectric transducer from moving inside the housing.
Claims15
A component of a bone conduction device, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a transducer-seismic mass assembly, wherein
- the component is configured to temporarily shock-proof the assembly such that the transducer-seismic mass assembly is protected from shock when temporarily shock-proofed and is unprotected from shock when not temporarily shock-proofed.
A component of a bone conduction device, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a transducer-seismic mass assembly, wherein
- the component is configured to temporarily shock-proof the assembly, wherein
- the component includes a movable component that is movable relative to the assembly that prevents the assembly from moving inside the housing when at a first position and enables the assembly to move inside the housing when at a second position, the first position being a position in which the assembly is shock-proofed.
A component of a bone conduction device, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a transducer-seismic mass assembly, wherein
- the component is configured to temporarily shock-proof the assembly, wherein
- the component is configured to enable the assembly to be taken out of the shock-proofing while the assembly is hermetically sealed within the housing to enable the assembly to vibrate.
