Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hearing protector, which has constructive features oriented to allow its use in combination with conventional glasses and to reduce the noise generated by the impact of the wind on the auricular pavilion during the user's movement at a certain speed.
  • This invention is applicable in the manufacture of hearing protection devices; especially applicable, but not limited to, in athletes who travel at a speed sufficient for the wind to produce when impacting against the pinna, a noise capable of dangerously reducing hearing.
  • the document describes a hearing protector arranged to protect a first ear and a second ear against loud noise, comprising an arc having a first part connecting a second part and a third part; said second part comprising at least a first contact point to be applied next to said first ear; said third part comprising at least a first contact point to be applied next to said second ear; the hearing protector comprises a fourth part rotatably disposed in said second part and comprising a first earplug that fits within said first ear to suppress noise; The hearing protector comprises a fifth part rotatably disposed in said third part and comprising a second earplug that fits within said second ear to suppress noise.
  • This hearing protector aims to achieve certain objectives; specifically: that it is comfortable, that it provides good protection against high levels of noise and that it is easy to control in the sense of whether or not it is necessary protection at any given time.
  • an ear, eye and face shield comprising an outer panel having a length substantially greater than its width and adapted to extend along substantially all of a side portion of a pair of glasses, said outer panel has a rear portion, an inner panel, said panels having upper, rear and lower edges, means for securing said upper, rear and lower edges of the panel together to form a pocket for receiving an ear, and mounting means made by said outer panel for mounting said protector on the pin of the wearer's glasses.
  • Document US5201856 describes an article of clothing that is configured to be used by an individual as a hearing protector and eyeglass retainer. This article can be attached in an adjustable way to glasses by means of sleeves formed on opposite ends of a flattened piece intended to hug the user's head at the back and cover the ears, simultaneously forming a hearing protector and a glasses retainer.
  • This document like the previous one, covers the user's ears, which entails a reduction in the hearing capacity.
  • none of the aforementioned antecedents provide an effective solution to reduce the noise produced by the wind when impacting on the ears, and that does not have associated a reduction of the hearing capacity by the user.
  • the hearing protector of the present invention being of the type intended for use in combination with conventional glasses and comprising laminar bodies intended to be positioned on the respective ears of the user covering them at least partially; It presents constructive particularities oriented to solve the exposed problems and specifically to provide a notable reduction of the noise produced by the wind when it hits the user's ears when it travels at a certain speed, without reducing the user's hearing capacity.
  • each of the laminar bodies has a curved surface that has an anterior end with a coplanar edge of general configuration in "C", which defines a support plane on an area of the face of the user located in front of the corresponding ear; said curved surface extending towards the posterior area in an ascending direction, defining a concave curved cavity, as a vault opened by the posterior area, for the reception of the ear inside.
  • each of the sheet bodies allows the protector to rest with said front end on the face of the user, establishing a previous closure that prevents the passage of air into the area of the ear. Additionally, the vaulted configuration of the concave curved cavity that rises towards the rear area of the protector, allows it to act as a deflector that prevents the frontal wind from hitting the ear, avoiding the noise effect mentioned above and which in addition to being annoying for the user, it significantly reduces their hearing ability.
  • the concave curved cavity when open, through its posterior area, it acts as an auditory pavilion oriented in this case towards the posterior area, guiding the noises coming from the posterior area towards the inside of the ear. This characteristic is especially important in the case of cyclists who train on the road, and whose risk of running over is increased when they do not detect the approach of a vehicle through its rear area.
  • each of the laminar bodies of the protector at the edge of its front end is an adaptive foam strip that forms a contact surface and seat of the protector on the face of the user.
  • This adaptable foam strip provides a better adaptation from the protector to the user's face and, consequently, greater comfort of use.
  • the laminar bodies constituting the protector have at the mentioned edge of its anterior end means for its fixation on the pin of conventional glasses.
  • Said means may be constituted: simply by a passage for the tight introduction of one of the glasses pins, by a strip with closing means, for example contact, which conforms an adjustable loop around the glasses pin, or by any others, since this does not affect the essence of the invention.
  • the laminar bodies constituting the protector of the invention are symmetrical to adapt each of them to the corresponding ear of the user.
  • each laminar body has at its rear end a decreasing height from a middle area towards the upper and lower ends.
  • This feature allows a better adjustment of the laminar body to the corresponding ear and ensures that the concave curved cavity remains open towards the posterior area at least through the central area of greater height, allowing the entrance and guidance of the sound towards the user's ear.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic perspective view of the protector in use position, one of the laminar bodies mounted on one of the pins of a user's glasses can be observed
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the hearing protector in use position.
  • the hearing protector consisting of the two laminar bodies (la, Ib), symmetrical can be observed.
  • Each of the laminar bodies (la, Ib) has a curved surface (11 ) that ends at its leading end in a general configuration (C) edge (12) provided with a strip (2) of adaptable foam that forms a contact surface and seat of the protector on the face of the user, as seen in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the curved surface (11) of the laminar bodies (la, Ib) it extends from the edge (12) of its anterior end, towards the posterior area, upwards; defining a concave curved cavity (13) as a vault, opened by the rear area, for the reception of the ear inside, as seen in Figure 3.
  • laminar bodies (la, Ib) of the protector act as baffles preventing the frontal air from hitting the user's ears and the sound accessing through the open rear area of the cavity (13) into the user's ear .
  • the laminar bodies (la, Ib) have at the edge (12) of their front end some means for fixing them on the pins (P) of conventional glasses (G).
  • the example shown said means are represented by two passages (14) for the passage of the pins (P) of the glasses.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une protection auditive, du type de celles destinées à être utilisées en combinaison avec des lunettes classiques et qui comprennent des corps laminaires destinés à être positionnés sur les oreilles respectives de l'utilisateur, les recouvrant au moins partiellement; chacun des corps laminaires présente une surface incurvée qui possède une extrémité antérieure avec un bord à configuration générale en "C", qui définit un plan d'appui sur une zone du visage de l'utilisateur située devant l'oreille correspondante, ladite surface incurvée se prolongeant vers la zone postérieure dans le sens ascendant, définissant une cavité incurvée concave telle une voûte, ouverte au niveau de la zone postérieure, pour la réception de l'oreille à l'intérieur; ledit corps laminaire comprend des moyens pour sa fixation sur la branche de lunettes classiques.
