Abstract

The light shell which can be adapted to a cyclist's ear is closed at the front but open at the rear in order to avoid the slipstream caused by the air flow and thus bring a better hearing of vehicles approaching from the rear.

DescriptionDescription

Pour les cyclistes, ['audition de ce qui se passe derriere eux est rendue difficile par les remous de l'air au niveau de leurs oreilles. Ceci constitue pour eux un danger du fait qu'ils ne percoivent que tardivement l'approche d'un vehicule qui s'apprete a les doubler. Afin de remedier a cet inconvenient et d' augmenter ainsi la securite routiere, il est possible de realiser des coquilles legeres, en plastique par exemple, adaptables sur une oreille au moins, gauche de preference pour les pays ou l'on circule  For cyclists, hearing what is going on behind them is made difficult by the eddies in their ears. This constitutes a danger for them because they do not perceive until late the approach of a vehicle which is about to overtake them. In order to remedy this drawback and thus increase road safety, it is possible to make light shells, in plastic for example, adaptable on at least one ear, preferably left for countries where one circulates

a droite.to the right.

Une telle coquille peut etre de forme arrondie vers l' avant ou de toute autre forme et doit s'appliquer au visage devant ltoreille mais etre ouverte vers l'arriere. Wile peut au choix etre munie d'un systeme de crochet adaptable au pavilion de l'oreille, comme pour certains appareils auditifs, ou etre pourvue d'un systeme simple permettant de ['adapter a une branche de lunettes, ou bien etre integree a la branche elle-meme de lunettes prevues pour ['usage de cyclistes, ou peut-etre aussi adjointe au casque cycliste afin d'en faire partie,  Such a shell can be rounded in front or any other shape and must be applied to the face in front of the ear but be open towards the rear. Wile can optionally be provided with a hook system adaptable to the pavilion of the ear, as for certain hearing aids, or be provided with a simple system making it possible to adapt it to a branch of glasses, or else be integrated into the branch itself of glasses intended for the use of cyclists, or perhaps also attached to the bicycle helmet in order to be part of it,

ou toute autre solution satisfaisante.  or any other satisfactory solution.

L'eflicacite est bien suffisante pour une personne ayant une audition normale mats, si necessaire, on peut  The effectiveness is sufficient for a person with normal hearing, but if necessary, we can

evidemment y ajouter un amplificateur de son.  obviously add a sound amplifier.
