  • the rear face of the envelope has a general shape of human ear seen flat.
  • the part with an adhesive on the front edge of the opening is covered with a coating, such as a strip, peelable.
  • the elastically deformable portion of the rear edge of the opening is made using an elastic whose width taken in the direction of insertion of the ear into the pocket is less than 5 mm, preferably less than 3 mm.
  • an elastic whose width taken in the direction of insertion of the ear into the pocket is less than 5 mm, preferably less than 3 mm.
  • the protective device is a disposable disposable device.
  • the envelope is a flexible envelope made of a material chosen from the group formed by polyolefins.
  • the device, object of the invention is more particularly intended to allow the protection of a human ear 1, in particular during hair treatments, such as washing, dyeing, permanent or other.
  • This device is in the form of a pocket-type envelope, impervious to water, to form a sealed container inside which the ear, in particular the outer part of the ear to be protected, also called flag, can be introduced.
  • the pocket-type envelope has an opening 4 which forms the opening for introducing the outer part of the ear into the pocket.
  • the edge of the opening 4 of the envelope surrounds the connection area of the outer part of the ear 1 to the rest of the head.
  • the pocket-type envelope can be carried out indifferently in one piece or in several pieces.
  • the edge of the opening 4 of the pocket comprises at least one elastically deformable part and a part provided with an adhesive 7.
  • the elastically deformable portion of the edge of the opening 4 of the envelope is more particularly intended to apply to the posterior atrial groove or cephalo-auricular groove of the ear while the portion provided with an adhesive 7 of the edge of the opening 4 of the envelope is more particularly intended to apply at the level of the cheek in front of the pre-tragic groove.
  • the adhesive 7 used is preferably a hypoallergenic adhesive.
  • the pocket-type envelope is formed of two faces 2, 3 delimiting between them the opening 4 through which the outer part of the lug 1 is able to be introduced to a position in which the faces 2, 3, said front and rear of the envelope, respectively overlap one, shown in 2 in the figures, of the so-called external visible face of the ear 1, the other, shown in 3 in the figures, the so-called internal face or back of the ear 1 turned towards the skull.
  • the opening 4 of the pocket thus comprises an edge portion, said rear edge 6, formed by a free edge of the rear face 3 of the envelope, and an edge portion, said front edge 5, formed by a free edge front side 2 of the envelope. At least a portion of the rear edge 6 of the opening 4 is elastically deformable while at at least a portion of the front edge 5 of said opening 4 is provided with the adhesive 7.
  • front 5 and rear 6 edges of the opening 4 meet at a low point 9 located at the base 11 of the envelope formed by the zone of the envelope intended to cover the lower part, in particular the lobe of the ear, and at a high point 10 located at the top 12 of the envelope formed by the area of the envelope intended to cover the upper part of the ear.
  • the front edge 5 of the opening 4 comprises, between its top junction point 10 or bottom 9 at the rear edge 6 of the opening 4 and its portion provided with an adhesive 7, a rigid stiffness portion 13 at bending greater than the bending stiffness of its portion provided with an adhesive 7.
  • the lower rigid portion 13 is positioned at the pre-lobular groove while the upper rigid portion 14 is disposed at the upper root of the auricle and follows the portion of the atrial groove anterior to the mounted state of the protective device. on a human ear. These two rigid parts 13, 14 help maintain the protective device on the ear 1 to be protected.
  • the front face 2 is of surface or of area greater than the rear face 3 of the pocket-type envelope so that in the flat-positioned state of the envelope, in a configuration in which the front face 2 is superimposed on the rear face 3, the front face 2 has an overflow portion 15, the portion of the front edge 5 of the opening 4 delimited by this overflow portion 15 having a convex shape convexity facing the outside of the pocket.
  • the overflow portion 15 is intended to be applied on the cheek of the wearer in the mounted state of the device on the ear.
  • the rear face 3 of the envelope has a generally rounded banana shape while the front face 2 has a more rounded shape with a bulge at the front edge of the envelope.
  • opening 4 The portion provided with an adhesive 7 of the front edge 5 of the opening 4 of the pocket-type envelope is covered with a coating 16 formed here by a peelable strip.
  • the elastically deformable part of the edge rear 6 of the opening 4 of the pocket-type envelope is in turn made using an elastic 8 whose width L taken in the direction of insertion of the ear into the pocket is of small width so as not to hinder the installation of the protective device on the ear.
  • the elasticized rear edge of the opening 4 of the pocket-type envelope is generally gathered or folded to allow tension and thus lengthening of this edge when the protective device is placed on an ear in order to allow the adaptation of the device to different ear sizes.
  • This device which is generally a single-use disposable device comprises a flexible envelope made of a material chosen from the group formed by polyolefins.
  • the pocket-type envelope is made of polypropylene.
  • This envelope is preferably transparent or translucent. This envelope may be coated with an impression.
  • the envelope which comprises a base corresponding to the zone of the envelope intended to overlap the lower part, in particular of the earlobe, and a vertex, corresponding to the zone the envelope intended to overlap the upper part, in particular the hem of the ear has a base narrower than the top.
  • the narrow base of the envelope is generally triangular in shape and is configured in point to facilitate the introduction of the protective device on a person wearing earrings.
  • the device may be made with a median plane of symmetry extending substantially parallel to the direction of introduction of the ear inside said pocket to allow indifferently the installation of the protective device on the right ear or left of a carrier.
  • the pair of ear protection devices proposed is formed of two identical protective devices. It is also possible to differentiate the protective devices, one being intended to be mounted on the right ear of the carrier, the other being intended to be mounted on the wearer's left ear.
  • the protection device comprises means for identifying the ear (right / left) to be equipped.
  • the installation of such an ear protection device is as follows.
  • the elastic is stretched to enlarge the opening of the pocket.
  • the bag is brought to the vicinity of the ear.
  • the ear is first introduced by its posterior part, in particular by the hem of the ear in the pocket until the rear edge of the opening of the pocket-type envelope comes to bear against the retro-auricular groove of the ear and the leading edge of the opening coming in front of the tragus.
