Description

本発明は、周囲の騒音から耳を保護するための耳栓に関するものである。The present invention relates to earplugs for protecting the ears from environmental noise.

一般に、周囲の騒音から耳を保護するため、あるいは、単に雑音を遮断するために、耳栓が使用されている（例えば、特許文献１～３）。また、耳栓を携帯するときに耳栓が汚れることを防ぐために、耳栓を収納する容器を有するものもある。In general, earplugs are used to protect the ears from surrounding noise or simply block out noise (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). Some earplugs have a container for storing earplugs to prevent them from getting dirty when carrying them around.

利用者が耳栓を使用する時、耳栓を収納する容器は使わない。耳栓の容器はカバンに入れたり、周囲の台の上などに置いたりするが、耳栓の使用が終了した後に、耳栓の容器を探すことが多く、無駄な時間を費やしている。When users use earplugs, they do not use a container to store them in. They put the container in their bag or on a nearby table, but after they finish using the earplugs, they often have to search for the container, wasting time.

耳栓使用中に耳栓の容器の紛失を防ぐための発明はこれまで公知となっていない。There has been no known invention to date that prevents the loss of an earplug container while earplugs are in use.

前記課題を解決するために、本発明の耳栓は、１つの側面から、騒音を低減する耳栓片と、前記耳栓片を収納可能な容器と、を備え、前記容器は前記容器の外側に前記耳栓片を取り付け可能に形成されている耳栓を提供する。In order to solve the above problem, from one aspect, the earplug of the present invention provides an earplug comprising an earplug piece that reduces noise and a container capable of storing the earplug piece, the container being formed so that the earplug piece can be attached to the outside of the container.

本発明によれば、耳栓を収納する容器の紛失を防ぐことのできる耳栓を提供することができる。According to the present invention, it is possible to provide earplugs that can prevent the container for storing the earplugs from being lost.

本発明の耳栓の立体図である。FIG. 2 is a three-dimensional view of the earplug of the present invention. 本発明の耳栓の容器を開放したときの立体図である。FIG. 2 is a three-dimensional view of the earplug of the present invention with the container opened. 本発明の耳栓使用時の縦断面図である。FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the earplug of the present invention when in use.

図１に、本発明の耳栓の立体図を示す。耳栓１は、耳栓片２と容器３を備える。図２に示すように、前記容器３は第１ケース１１と第２ケース１２と、前記ケース１と前記ケース２を繋ぐ接続部１３とを備える。Fig. 1 shows a three-dimensional view of the earplug of the present invention. The earplug 1 comprises an earplug piece 2 and a container 3. As shown in Fig. 2, the container 3 comprises a first case 11, a second case 12, and a connecting part 13 that connects the case 1 and the case 2.

図３に示すように、前記容器３は、前記容器３の外側に突起２２を備える。前記突起２２は前記容器３の窪み部２１に設けられる。3, the container 3 includes a protrusion 22 on the outside of the container 3. The protrusion 22 is provided in a recess 21 of the container 3.

前記耳栓片２は、耳栓使用時に前記突起２２に装着して使用する。換言すると、前記耳栓１を使用する時に、前記容器３は前記耳栓１の一部として使用する。When the earplug 1 is used, the earplug piece 2 is attached to the protrusion 22. In other words, when the earplug 1 is used, the container 3 is used as a part of the earplug 1.

前記耳栓１の使用が終われば、前記耳栓片２を前記容器３の突起２２から脱着して、前記容器３を開いて収納部１４に収納する（図２、図３）。When the earplug 1 has been used, the earplug piece 2 is detached from the protrusion 22 of the container 3, and the container 3 is opened and stored in the storage section 14 (FIGS. 2 and 3).

前記耳栓片２は前記容器３の前記収納部１４に収納されるので、次に使用する時まで、前記耳栓片２が汚れることを防止できる。前記耳栓片２が前記容器３に収納可能であり、前記耳栓片２の大部分が前記容器３から出っ張ることがないので、コンパクトに収まり携帯に便利である。Since the earplug pieces 2 are stored in the storage section 14 of the container 3, the earplug pieces 2 can be prevented from becoming dirty until the next time they are used. Since the earplug pieces 2 can be stored in the container 3 and most of the earplug pieces 2 do not protrude from the container 3, the earplug pieces 2 are stored compactly and are convenient to carry.

前記窪み部２１の深さ寸法は、前記突起２２の高さ寸法より長くても良い。前記突起２２の先端が表面から出っ張らないので、持ち運び中に前記突起２２がポケットやバッグの中で邪魔になったり、引っ掛かったりすることがない。The depth dimension of the recessed portion 21 may be greater than the height dimension of the protrusion 22. Since the tip of the protrusion 22 does not protrude from the surface, the protrusion 22 does not get in the way or get caught in a pocket or bag when being carried.

本発明は上述した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変形が可能である。例えば、本実施例で示したように前記接続部１３が、前記容器３の長辺上に配置される代わりに、短辺上、即ち図１の上面または下面の曲面上に配置されても良い。さらに、前記第１ケース、又は、前記第２ケースの一方が他方の蓋として形成されても良い。The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, instead of being disposed on the long side of the container 3 as shown in this embodiment, the connection portion 13 may be disposed on the short side, i.e., on the curved surface of the upper or lower surface in FIG. 1. Furthermore, either the first case or the second case may be formed as a lid for the other.
