Benefits of technology
[0004]In one aspect of the disclosure, the body portion has an elastomer. In one aspect of the disclosure, the body portion has silicone. In one aspect of the disclosure, the body portion is heat resistant. In one aspect of the disclosure, the body portion has a generally C-shape. In one aspect of the disclosure, the body protector is flexible about an axis a. In one aspect of the disclosure, the interior surface of the body portion is a friction surface for reducing slippage between the body portion and the ear.
[0005]In one aspect of the disclosure, the cavity has a shape that complements a human ear. In one aspect of the disclosure, the proximate opening allows for the ear protector to rest substantially flush to the back surface of the base of the outer ear. In one aspect of the disclosure, the proximate opening allows for greater elongation and flexibility of the ear protector. In one aspect of the disclosure, the distal opening prevents the user from hearing a decreased the level of sound. In one aspect of the disclosure, the distal opening allows for greater elongation and flexibility of the ear protector.
[0006]In one aspect of the disclosure, the body portion has a back portion, left sidewall, and right sidewall, wherein the thickness of the material of the back portion is greater than the thickness of the material of the left sidewall or the right sidewall. In one aspect of the disclosure, the greater thickness of the back portion provides for an increased protection of the ear. In one aspect of the disclosure, the greater thickness of the back portion provides for an increased stability of the ear protector.

A flexible ear protector for protecting the outer ear from heat, chemicals, or sharp objects, using a curling iron, hot comb, blow dryer, scissors, to style hair having a body portion, a front opening for receiving a human ear, a proximate opening, a distal opening, a cavity for receiving a human ear, and a reinforced perimeter for exerting force upon the body portion thereby returning the body portion from a second position to a first position.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 501,321, filed on Jun. 27, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]In order to curl a person's hair using a curling iron or similar instrument, locks of hair are rolled around the curling iron. While curling a person's hair, it is desirable to get as close to the scalp as possible. The ear, specifically the helix given its proximity to the hair, is often burned while curling a person's hair. In addition to the initial pain, burns can become infected and at times even leave a permanent scar. In view of the aforementioned considerations, there is a need for ear protectors which are especially suitable for patrons who have their hair hot curled, either by themselves or by a profession, to avoid ear burns.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present disclosure pertains to an ear protector having a body portion with an int...
