Quick release structure of diaphragm assembly of stethoscope
A quick release structure of a diaphragm assembly of a stethoscope is disclosed, including a stethoscope having two collecting surfaces each being connectable with a diaphragm assembly. The collecting surface has a portion adjacent to an outer periphery thereof and formed with an annular fitting groove that has a height lower than the collecting surface. The collecting surface is formed with a trough. The annular fitting groove has an inclined internal wall. The diaphragm assembly includes an elastic piece combined with a diaphragm assembly. The elastic piece includes a raised rib, a projection portion, and an inclined inside surface. Through pressing the raised rib into the annular fitting groove, the inside surface is set in tight engagement with the internal wall, and this, in combination with the projection portion fit in the trough, forms a secure and stable fitting engagement and allowing easy release performed in an opposite way.
1. A quick release structure of a diaphragm assembly of a stethoscope, comprising: a stethoscope head, which comprises two collecting surfaces that are connectable with a diaphragm assembly, wherein the collecting surfaces have a portion that is adjacent to an outer periphery thereof and is formed, through recessing, with an annular fitting groove, such that the annular fitting groove has a height lower than the collecting surfaces, the collecting surfaces being further formed with a trough, the diaphragm assembly being formed of an elastic piece having an inner circumference combined with a diaphragm, the elastic piece being provided with a raised rib and a projection portion, wherein the raised rib is set corresponding to the annular fitting groove and is subject to pressing to fit into and embed in through in a manner of being in collaboration with the projection portion so as to form a secure and stable fitting connection; wherein the annular fitting groove further comprises an internal wall provided in the annular fitting groove, and the internal wall has an inclined structure having a top wide and bottom narrow arrangement; and wherein the raised rib comprises an inside surface that is of an inclined surface structure having a top narrow and bottom wide arrangement and enables tight engagement with the internal wall and allows easy release performed in an opposite way.
2. The quick release structure of the diaphragm assembly of the stethoscope according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic piece further comprises an extension portion that is provided on an outer circumferential edge of the elastic piece and is adapted to be gripped and nipped by a user's hand in order to enhance convenience of removing and replacing the diaphragm assembly.
