    The invention relates to an auricular insert, the non-positive and / or positive fit in the respective auricle, a method for producing such an ear insert and its use.
    The ear of a human is basically divided into three areas, the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. Under the outer ear, the ear cartilage, the auricle, the earlobe and the external auditory canal, which is also called the ear canal, as well as the outside of the eardrum are understood. The task of the outer ear is to capture the sound and to code the respective directions of incidence of the sound by means of spectral minima and maxima. For this purpose, the structure of the auricle in particular is characterized by numerous elevations and depressions, which acoustically represent a filter system and are to be understood as acoustic resonators. They are excited differently, depending on which direction the perceived sound comes from. In this way, each direction receives its individual tone coloration. The result is a frequency spectrum of the ear signal with direction-dependent maxima and minima, the direction-determining bands that the ear uses to determine the directions of incidence of the sound, up, down, front or back. Only for the distinction of right and left are other mechanisms responsible.
    The shape of the ear is individual for each person. This fact is e.g. already used in criminology to identify people by means of ear impression. The probative value of such an ear impression is basically comparable to that of a fingerprint.In the same way individual is also the cartilage formation, which makes the inside of the auricle. This individual embodiment also has disadvantages when objects are to be fitted into the auricle. Such an article may e.g. Be jewelry.
    Earrings are worn in many cultures of the world by both sexes, mostly women. Very often, this jewelry is attached to a hole pierced by the auricle on the ear. Here is especially the soft earlobe, which is hardly sensitive to pain. However, the piercing of ear holes has the disadvantage that it brings with improper treatment the risk of inflammation of the open wound. To avoid inflammation after ear piercing hygienic requirements must be observed on the one hand in the surgical procedure itself and on the other hand also a considerable time thereafter.The addition of such holes produced by puncture is not entirely unproblematic depending on the location. Unused ear holes usually grow again after one to two weeks, leaving a scar tissue in the form of small, sand-grain-sized knots in the auricle. If these scars are close to so-called ear acupuncture points, they can lead to constant irritation and thereby disturb organ functions in the body sensitively and permanently, since usually unrecognized.
    With regard to ear jewelery in the form of earrings or ear plugs, which are usually firmly anchored in the ear hole once formed, it is further disadvantageous that snagging on the ear jewelery is easily possible, e.g. in the overhead pulling of garments, which can lead to an unpleasant tearing of the ear hole.
    To avoid this disadvantage, it has also become known to attach earrings to the ear, without the need for an ear hole. For this purpose, ear clips have been developed, which are clamped to the respective earlobe or in other areas of the auricle. Here it is rather disadvantageous to mention that these clips can lead to the formation of pressure points, with the associated pressure pain.
    To avoid such bruises and pain on the outer ear, it is further known to use an ear insert in the inner, recessed portion of the pinna, which is also referred to as the Concha. Such inserts then serve to receive and attach jewelry of various kinds.
    In connection with such a fastening for ear jewelry DE 8 911 607 U1 has become known. According to this German utility model, a form impression is produced as a negative mold by the individually specific shape of the Concha. The molded piece thus obtained has for self-holding attachment in the concha of the auricle of a person on a formation which is supported on the inner auricle surfaces, so that the individual auricular surfaces each form bearings and abutment. In this case, the central central region of the shaped piece can be recessed, and the shaped piece can have holes for fastening jewelry elements of various kinds.
    Since all the hollow areas formed by the concha and the auricle surfaces are filled in the production of said negative mold, resulting from the fitting a very compact and «chunky» retaining element for jewelry attachment, which is relatively bulky and heavy.
    Due to the task of the outer ear, including the pinna, to capture the sound and to code the respective directions of incidence of sound by spectral minimums and maximums, the hearing of a person is more affected, the larger volume is the fitting used in the Concha, because the optimal natural course of the funnel relief of the auricle is more disturbed.In addition, the process of making the negative mold by molding is time consuming and uncomfortable for the individual.
    Based on this prior art, the present invention therefore an object of the invention to provide an auricle insert, which can serve, for example, but not exclusively for the reception of decorative elements, and is both comfortable and essentially to wear without hearing impairment, as well a tailor-made, fast and yet pleasant to make for each individual auricle.
    This object is achieved by a pinna insert, which has a perforated structure, formed flat and provided with a border contour and non-positively and / or positively fit into an auricle is adjustable.
    Due to its openwork and flat structure of the inventive ear cup insert has less material and thus a lower weight than known in the art fittings. The hearing ability of the wearer is not affected at all or at least significantly less. A flat configuration of the ear insert in the sense of the present invention means that the auricular insert extends substantially over the entire opening of the auricle and is thereby thin, i. is of shallow depth. What is special is that it can nevertheless be fitted into the respective auricle in a non-positive and / or positive manner without holding problems and, as such an insert, fits snugly in the cartilaginous relief of the auricle.
    The edge contour causes a higher stability of the auricle insert and represents a more or less smooth edge, which promotes comfort.
    For the inventive ear cup insert may further be provided that its openwork structure is designed as a network structure with net meshes.In this way, an air- and sound-permeable structure, on the one hand allows a lightweight construction and on the other hand provides sufficiently free passage area for the sound, so that the auricle their task to capture the sound to record and the respective directions of incidence of sound through spectral minimums and maximums to code, without substantial impairment can continue to meet.
    The structure of the auricle insert may have the shape of a small plate, which is adapted to the individual inner relief of the pinna, wherein the plate has at least one through hole, but preferably more than one through hole or a plurality of through holes.
    The intended for receiving one or more decorative elements auricle insert is preferably at least partially made of precious metal or stainless steel.When using a precious metal such as gold, silver and platinum, care must be taken that the auricular insert has sufficient hardness to withstand deformations, e.g. when attaching or removing, prevent. In particular, silver is problematic here, while e.g. Platinum shows sufficient hardness.Stainless steel, which is stainless, can also be used as a material to form a stable and durable auricle insert.
    By the targeted selection of such materials, possible allergies, e.g. against nickel, which is used, for example, in the production of inferior jewelry as the basis for a thin silver coating, to be prevented.
    The invention also relates to a method for producing the auricular insert described above in its various embodiments. In this method, the individual inner relief of the auricle is first measured by scanning, which is to receive the auricle insert. Because of the individuality of each person and their pinna (s), it is important to obtain the exact data of the well-defined pinna.Based on the obtained by scanning individual dimensions of the inner relief of the auricle then the auricle insert is made so that it is suitable for non-positive and / or positive fit into the respective auricle.
    With this method, accurate data on the coordinates of the inner relief of the auricle are determined quickly and essentially without contact in a simple manner. Essentially non-contact here is to be understood in particular as follows: without the person to be surveyed having to make her ear available for an unpleasant and complex form impression. The data is obtained essentially without body contact by means of the scanner.
    The invention also relates to the use of an auricular insert, as described in detail above, including the procedural production, for receiving at least one decorative element.
    Particularly simple and while the natural functions of the ear gently and sustaining the jewelry element can be added if the ear insert has a perforated structure, which is designed as a network structure with meshes, at least one of the net stitches receives a decorative element.
    In the context of the inventive use, the structure of the auricle insert can also be formed in the form of a small plate, which receives in each case a decorative element in at least one through hole or in a plurality of through holes.
    In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
    Show it:
    [0025]<Tb> FIG. 1: <SEP> a plan view of an auricle insert with an openwork structure, which is designed as a net structure with meshes,<Tb> FIG. FIG. 2 is a plan view of an auricle insert having a broken structure which is in the form of a multi-vias plate; and FIG<Tb> FIG. 3: <SEP> a plan view of an auricle in which the auricular insert shown in FIG. 1 is inserted.
    In Fig. 1 an auricle insert is shown, which is provided overall with the reference numeral 1. This ear-cup insert 1 has an edge contour 3, which is adapted to the natural-individual shaping of an auricle 5, as shown in FIG. 3 by way of example. The auricula insert 1 has a perforated structure, is flat and thus bridges the entire opening of the auricle 5. In addition, the auricula insert 1 as a whole is flat, that is, it has only a small depth. Due to this type of training, the auricular insert becomes light and does not interfere with the use in the auricle 5. The property not to be disturbing is to be understood in two ways, individually and physically.Individually, the person wearing the ear cup insert 1 does not feel it unpleasant and can easily get used to its presence in the way one becomes accustomed to the presence of an earring. Physically, the outer ear, and in particular the outer ear 5, can perform the inherently assigned tasks without hindrance, that is, substantially capture the sound and encode the respective directions of incidence of the sound by spectral minima and maxima. The resulting direction-determining bands can then unhindered use the ear to determine the directions of incidence of the sound, top, bottom, front or back.
    With the aforementioned edge contour 3, the auric insert 1 is positively and / or positively fitted into the auricle 5.
    According to a first embodiment explained hereinbefore, the perforated structure already mentioned above is formed as a net structure with net meshes 7. In Figs. 1 and 3, these net meshes 7 are rectangular and substantially square. The square shape has advantages in terms of the stability of the network structure formed, but is not necessarily required and therefore to be understood as an example of this embodiment. Another conceivable design is a diamond-shaped structure. In addition, equally round shapes are possible, which allow network meshes as 7 related structures and surfaces.
    The ear cup insert 1 explained in this way according to the first exemplary embodiment is now used to anchor one or more decorative elements 9, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. It is the net meshes 7 which receive the desired decorative element or elements 9. Such jewelry elements 9 are arbitrarily selected according to type and quality. As an example, pearls or crystals were anchored in the mesh meshes 7 of the mesh structure of the auricle insert 1 in the exemplary embodiment. In each case several beads or crystals were used and anchored in a predetermined pattern in the mesh meshes 7 of the network structure of the auricle insert 1. The anchoring was achieved by both the beads and the crystals had sockets, which were then anchored in or on the selected mesh by soldering or gluing in a conventional manner.
    With the great variability with respect to the decorative elements 9, which can be selected for attachment in or on the respective net mesh 7 of the auricle insert 1, also corresponds to the material from which the auricle insert can be made.For the purposes of the present embodiment, two versions have been tested, with one being considered as a low-price variant and the other version as a higher-priced variant.In the rather low-priced variant of the auricle 1 was made with its mesh structure of stainless steel and as jewelry elements 9 were provided with versions rock crystals embedded in the net meshes 7 of the network structure. The rock crystals were arranged in the form of a rather random pattern.In the higher-priced variant of the auric insert 1 was made with its network of white gold and as jewelry elements 9 were provided with versions cultured pearls in professional goldsmith technology in the mesh meshes 7 of the network structure. The cultured pearls were again arranged in the form of a rather random pattern.
    Said choice of materials for the network structure of the auricle 1 has the advantage that here no allergic reactions, such as a nickel allergy, are to be feared. Nevertheless, it is obvious to the person skilled in the art that, in principle, the material nickel used for reasons of cost, in particular for costume jewelery, can also be used to produce the net structure according to the invention.
    A major advantage of the inventive ear cup insert 1 in its use for receiving jewelry elements 9 is in the great design variety, the shape of the net mesh 7 on the selection of the material for the auricula insert 1 and the selection of or the actual jewelry elements 9 bis to their arrangement on the network structure ranges. By this use, the auric insert 1 itself becomes a jewel.
    In Fig. 2, a pinna insert is shown according to another embodiment. In this case, identical features to the first embodiment with the same, but designated by 100 extended reference numerals. The auricular insert according to this second embodiment is therefore provided overall with the reference numeral 101.This ear-cup insert 101 also has an edge contour 103, which is adapted to the natural-individual shape of an auricle 105. The auricle insert 101 is formed with a structure in the form of a small plate 111 and, like the first embodiment, flat, so that it bridges the entire opening of the auricle 5. In addition, the auricula insert 101 is shallow with only a shallow depth. The auricle insert 101 is thus light and does not interfere with use in the auricle 5.That is, the person wearing the ear-cup insert 101 does not feel it unpleasant and can easily get used to its presence even in the embodiment according to this embodiment.With the aforementioned edge contour 103, the auricular insert 101 is positively and / or positively fitted into the auricle 5.
    According to this second, explained embodiment, the above-mentioned, platelet-shaped structure is provided with a plurality of through holes 113, of which according to this embodiment, however, only a part is provided to receive a decorative element 109. Here it is even only a through hole 113 which receives a decorative element 109, as shown in Fig. 2.In this way, it is ensured that the outer ear and in particular the auricle 5 can perform the tasks assigned by their nature without hindrance, capture the sound and encode the respective directions of incidence of the sound by means of spectral minima and maxima.
    The selection and anchoring of the decorative elements 109 was carried out as described in the first embodiment with respect to the net meshes 7. By way of example, in the context of this exemplary embodiment, a brilliant has been anchored in a single through hole 113 of the auricle insert 101, which is marked with a cross in FIG. The anchoring was achieved, as already described in detail in the first embodiment.
    The preparation of the auricula insert 1, 101 in one of its embodiments, as described above, is simple and fast and thereby accurately possible, without this adaptation of the person to whom the ear jewelry is to be adjusted after the individual ear shaping, as unpleasant is felt.In this case, in a first step, the individual inner relief of the auricle 5 is measured by scanning with a commercially available scanner. In this way, the individual dimensions of the inner relief of the auricle 5 are obtained.In a further step, the auricular insert 1, 101 can then be made on the basis of the individual dimensions obtained by scanning. In this way, it is possible without much effort to produce a pinna insert 1, 101, which is actually fitted positively and / or positively in the respective auricle 5.
