Abstract

In the event of an ear-plug attachment system to eye-wear designed to comfortably inserted into the Human ear and to protect the hearing of the Human Being in a noisy environment. It is known to have a swivel and ball-joint tube apparatus attached by a screw or pin to the eye-wear temple piece, to freely move in all directions for a comfortable and precise insertion fit of all shapes and sizes of the Human ear. In this invention the foam ear-plug section is inserted into the swivel extension tube to be extended for adjustment or removal. The ear-plug foam can also be removed from the section to be replaced by a new one.

Description

FALLU,Richard. Page 2 of 3 SPECIFICATION
This invention relates to safety products, an ear-plug system attachment to a chosen protective eye-wear, protecting the hearing of the human being in a noisy environment.
It is common for the worker, in a noisy environment, wearing protective ear-plugs to lose them as they are removed when spoken to.
I have found that this disadvantage can be overcome with a very flexible attachment system to the eye-wear carrying the ear-plug.
In the Photographs which illustrate embodiments of the invention, Photograph "1" is a view of the era-plug attachment system secured to the temple piece of a chosen eye-wear, Photograph "2" is a close-up front view of the same embodiments, Photograph "3" is a view, of the same chosen eye-wear, folded with the ear-plug attachment systems secured to the temple pieces of the same chosen eye-wear and Photograph "4" illustrates a partly disassemble view of the ear-plug attachment system.
The ea r plug attachment system illustrated comprises arm ball-joint extension (1) which is secured with a screw (2) to the temple piece (3), of the chosen eye-wear, which can be rotated for adjustment, (to move the ear-plug (8) closer or further from the ear.). The ball-joint (4) extents to a swivel (5) which a tube extension (6) is attached, to extend to a further section part (7) that is shaped to fit into the tube extension (6) for adjustment or removal. The ear-plug foam (8) can be removed from the section part (7) for replacement, from a hole (~.) that adapts a small shaft (10) that extents from the foam ear-plug (8).
