Abstract
A sanitary ear covering includes at least a first body and alternately a second body formed from deformably resilient material. Each of the first and second bodies may have a circular shape when disposed at an equilibrium position. Each of the first and second bodies may be adapted to conform to the user ear and thereby remain at a substantially stable position during operating conditions. Each of the first and second bodies preferably include an ear-receiving section defining a cup-shaped cavity therein, an outer rim directly coupled to an outer perimeter of the cup-shaped cavity, an ear plug mated to the ear-receiving section and projecting orthogonally inward therefrom, and a strap removably connected to a bottom hemisphere of the outer rim.
Claims15
A sanitary ear covering for prohibiting undesirable fluids and debris from entering a user ear, said sanitary ear covering comprising:
- a first body formed from deformably resilient material, said first body having a circular shape when disposed at an equilibrium position, said first body being adapted to conform to the user ear and thereby remains at a substantially stable position during operating conditions, said first body comprising
- an ear-receiving section defining a cup-shaped cavity therein;
- an outer rim directly coupled to an outer perimeter of said cup-shaped cavity;
- an ear plug mated to said ear-receiving section and projecting orthogonally inward therefrom;
- and
- a strap removably connected to a bottom hemisphere of said outer rim;
- wherein said outer rim is provided with a gap formed therein, said outer rim having first and second ends spaced apart at said gap and being positioned at a bottom-most region of said first body, said strap being adhesively coupled to said outer rim and spanning beneath said gap such that said first and second ends maintain a fixed spatial distance therebetween during operating conditions.
A sanitary ear covering for prohibiting undesirable fluids and debris from entering a user ear, said sanitary ear covering comprising:
- first and second bodies formed from deformably resilient material, each of said first and second bodies having a circular shape when disposed at an equilibrium position, each of said first and second bodies being adapted to conform to the user ear and thereby remain at a substantially stable position during operating conditions, each of said first and second bodies comprising
- an ear-receiving section defining a cup-shaped cavity therein;
- an outer rim directly coupled to an outer perimeter of said cup-shaped cavity;
- an ear plug mated to said ear-receiving section and projecting orthogonally inward therefrom;
- and
- a strap removably connected to a bottom hemisphere of said outer rim;
- wherein said outer rim is provided with a gap formed therein, said outer rim having first and second ends spaced apart at said gap and being positioned at a bottom-most region of each of said first and second bodies, said strap being adhesively coupled to said outer rim and spanning beneath said gap such that said first and second ends maintain a fixed spatial distance therebetween during operating conditions.
