Abstract
An earplug insertion device can include a housing that is configured to hold a first earplug and a second earplug. The device can also include an ejection mechanism that can be configured to respond to a first user force by ejecting the first earplug from the device in a first ejection motion. The ejection mechanism can also being configured to respond to a second user force by ejecting the second earplug from the device in a second ejection motion.
Claims25
An earplug insertion device, comprising:
- an ejection mechanism that is configured to respond to a first user force by ejecting a first earplug from the device in a first ejection motion, the ejection mechanism also being configured to respond to a second user force by ejecting a second earplug from the device in a second ejection motion, the ejection mechanism comprising:
- a first guide configured to hold the first earplug at least partially within the first guide;
- and
- a second guide configured to hold the second earplug at least partially within the second guide and to slide relative to the first guide to eject the first earplug from the first guide in the first ejection motion, the ejection mechanism being configured to eject the second earplug from the second guide in the second ejection motion.

An earplug insertion device, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- an ejection mechanism that is configured to respond to a first user force by ejecting a first earplug from a first exit opening defined by the device in a first ejection motion, the ejection mechanism also being configured to respond to a second user force by ejecting the second earplug from a second exit opening defined by the device in a second ejection motion, the second exit opening and first exit opening being different openings.
A method comprising:
- providing an earplug insertion device holding a first earplug and a second earplug;
- ejecting a first earplug from a first exit opening defined by the earplug insertion device and into a first ear canal;
- and
- ejecting the second earplug from a second exit opening defined by the earplug insertion device and into a second ear canal, the second exit opening and first exit opening being different openings.
