Description

Protective device for the ears.

Object of the invention

The present, as expressed in the statement of This description refers to a protective device for the ears, specifically intended to constitute a means that prevents staining of a person's ears, during Application of a dye in your hair.

The object of the invention is to achieve a perfect adaptation and adjustment of the protector over the ear and, on everything, allow breathing of the ear canal as well as achieve optimal hearing conditions that are normally they are reduced by the obstacle that the protector himself supposes.

Background of the invention

As is known, hair dyeing or application of certain conditioners, carries the spotting of the bordering head area for the hair itself,  and between those areas are the ears, whose staining results inevitable considering that these stand out and are located in an incoming area of the hair.

Obviously, the products used in the hair dyeing and conditioning operations incorporate chemicals that are not convenient to come in contact with the ear, first of all for hygiene and also because they can penetrate the ear canal and produce harmful effects on the Username.

To try to solve that problem, in the Spanish Utility Model U 9203428 describes a protector of ears that is constituted by a kind of laminar cover of disposable plastic, with the appropriate configuration to that of the ear to get ready on it covering it in its entirety. The mouthpiece of that kind of protective cover It presents its elastic edge to adapt to the initial part or base of the ear

Well, the protector described in that U 9203428, although it partly fulfills the function for which it has been planned, that is, prevent the ear from staining with the dye, without However, it presents a serious inconvenience, because plastic and fit the ear does not allow breathing of the ear canal, while preventing or diminishing the hearing by the user. Also, by presenting the edge elastic at the mouth of the protector, a gathering of said edge originating incoming and outgoing setting steps to allow the dyeing product or conditioner to enter, producing a spotting of the base area or beginning of the ear.

Description of the invention

The device object of the invention constitutes a protector based on the one referred to above, but including innovations through which problems are solved and inconveniences commented.

In that sense, the protective device proper, constituting from a kind of cover  sheet of disposable plastic or other waterproofed material, It has the peculiarity that the case establishes a volume regulate preferably elliptical configuration, allowing the accommodation of the entire ear, without the sense of Cover placement or protective amount.

On the other hand, and as a fundamental characteristic of the invention, the cover is provided to have a zone central affected by microperforations, that area being located so that it faces the ear canal when apply said cover or protector over the ear.

In addition, the adaptation of the mouth of the protector to the base or beginning of the ear is done by a ring-like band that prevents the formation of folds and prevents therefore the passage of product inwards, so it does not staining of that part or beginning of the ear will occur.

As for the microperforations, the same they allow breathing of the ear canal and also improve the user hearing conditions during the operations of hair dye and treatment.

In a variant embodiment of the device protector, it is expected that this present in its back a mouthpiece open inferiorly, as an inverted "U", thereby allowing its vertical slide placement over the ear, collaborating in the support and placement of an element that may or may not be elastic and that corresponds to the edge or perimeter of that opening, all providing an area lower breathing of the cavity in which it is located precisely the ear, being equally endowed with microperforations on the area facing the duct auditory.

In any case, the protective device, in addition to allowing breathing of the ear canal and improving the user's hearing conditions, get better also the conditions of isolation after the placement of the same over the ear, eliminating possible moisture on said ear, as well as sweating the area, due to a total isolation from it, which is not achieved by known protectors or those described in the section Background of the invention.

Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, accompanies the present descriptive memory a set of drawings based on the which innovations and advantages will be more easily understood of the ear protection device made in accordance with the object of the invention.

Figure 1.- Shows a side elevation view of the protective device made in accordance with the object of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view back of the same device represented in the figure previous.

Description of the preferred embodiment

As you can see in the referred figures, the ear protection device object of the invention, is constitutes by means of a body (1) of elliptical configuration, of waterproof nature, preferably plastic, and disposable, determining a regular volume cavity destined to house one ear and cover all of it to avoid staining on the conditioning and dyeing operations of the Username. Said body of the protector (1) subsequently establishes a mouth through which it is attached over the ear, adapting and closing the contour of the base of it by a ring-like band (2) provided in correspondence with the edge or perimeter of the aforementioned mouth, protecting the ear against the product of the hair dye or conditioner, as well as preventing the penetration of the product through the area of ring coupling (2) on the base or beginning of the ear on which it fits.

In an approximately intermediate zone of body (1) of the protector, a plurality of microperforations (3), said zone being located microperforations facing the ear canal, when the protective body (1) is coupled over the corresponding ear, with in order to allow breathing of the ear canal and improve The user's hearing.

Figure 3 shows a variant of embodiment of the protective device, in which the body (1 ') of the  protector itself, constituted in the same material and elliptical setting of regular volume, with the same area of microperforations (3), presents the peculiarity that subsequently it is affected by an opening (4) in "U" inverted, that is, open down, complemented perimeter with an element (5), elastic or not, as an element clamping to allow sliding coupling in vertical down the body (1 ') over the ear.

Claims (4)

1. Protective device for the ears, which being constituted by a disposable laminar body of waterproofed material and with a configuration adaptable to the ear, by placing it through a mouthpiece subsequently established in the body, all this to prevent the ear it is stained during dyeing and / or hair conditioning operations, it is characterized in that the body (1 or 1 ') of the protector itself is affected by a plurality of microperforations (3) in correspondence with an area that is located opposite the The ear canal of the user, when said body (1 or 1 ') is adapted to fit over the ear. 2. Protective device for the ears according to claim 1, characterized in that the body (1 or 1 ') has an elliptical configuration of regular volume. 3. Protective device for the ears, according to previous claims, characterized in that on the edge of the mouth of the body (1) of the protector, an adjustment band or ring (2) is provided on the base or onset of the ear to avoid the penetration of the dye or hair conditioning product. 4. Protective device for the ears, according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the rear mouth of the body (1 ') of the protector is determined by an inverted "U" opening, open bottom, on whose contour is provided an elastic element (5) or not, for fastening and to allow the coupling by sliding down vertically on the corresponding ear.
