SPECIFICATION
This invention relates to safety products, an ear-plug system
attachment to a chosen protective eye-wear, protecting the hearing
of the human being in a noisy environment.
It is common for the worker, in a noisy environment, wearing
protective ear-plugs to lose them as they are removed when spoken
to.
I have found that this disadvantage can be overcome with a very
flexible attachment system to the eye-wear carrying the ear-plug.
In the Photographs which illustrate embodiments of the invention,
Photograph "1" is a view of the era-plug attachment system secured
to the temple piece of a chosen eye-wear,
Photograph "2" is a close-up front view of the same embodiments,
Photograph "3" is a view, of the same chosen eye-wear, folded with
the ear-plug attachment systems secured to the temple pieces of
the same chosen eye-wear and
Photograph "4" illustrates a partly disassemble view of the ear-
plug attachment system.
The ea r plug attachment system illustrated comprises arm ball-
joint extension (1) which is secured with a screw (2) to the
temple piece (3), of the chosen eye-wear, which can be rotated for
adjustment, (to move the ear-plug (8) closer or further from the
ear.). The ball-joint (4) extents to a swivel (5) which a tube
extension (6) is attached, to extend to a further section part (7)
that is shaped to fit into the tube extension (6) for adjustment
or removal. The ear-plug foam (8) can be removed from the section
part (7) for replacement, from a hole (~.) that adapts a small
shaft (10) that extents from the foam ear-plug (8).
