Title:
TRANSMISSION DEVICE FOR INTRODUCING LIGHT INTO AN EAR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004018040
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a transmission device for introducing optical radiation into the ear, comprising an optical wave guide which connects a light source to an ear holder in order to output said radiation. Said ear holder (10) comprises a first transition piece (11), preferably embodied in an elbow-shaped manner, wherein the end area of the optical wave guide (20) is maintained, and a retaining bar (12) which can be introduced into the transition piece (11) and can be bent in such a manner that the outlet (22) of the optical wave guide (20) can be positioned on the ear. A second transition piece (30), which is conically tapered on the inside and which is at least partially used as a focus bushing for the laser beam is provided in order to inject the optical radiation, preferably laser radiation, into the optical wave guide (20). The optical wave guide (20) is positioned in the second transition piece in such a manner that the focus area (F) of the laser beam produced in the focus bushing is disposed directly in front of the inlet of the optical wave guide (20).
