The disclosure and prior art relates to aural water removal devices and more particularly pertains to a new aural water removal device for removing water from within ears.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a mouthpiece that has a principal opening extending into a mouth portion and a stem aperture extending from the principal opening through a stem portion. A tubing that has a connector portion and a bifurcated portion comprising a right branch and a left branch is coupled to the mouthpiece. A distal end of the connector portion is coupled around the stem portion of the mouthpiece. A pair of ear tubes comprising a right ear tube and a left ear tube coupled to the right branch and the left branch, respectively, is coupled to the tubing. A pair of ear buds comprising a right bud and a left bud each having a canal aperture coupled around an ear end of the right ear tube and the left ear tube, respectively, is coupled to the pair of ear tubes. The pair of ear buds is configured to be inserted within a user's ears. The canal aperture of each of the pair of ear buds, the pair of ear tubes, the tubing, and the stem aperture of the mouthpiece are all in fluid communication. The user thus is able to create suction through the canal aperture of each of the pair of ear buds with her mouth on the principal opening of the mouthpiece to draw water from her ears.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
In use, the user is able to create suction through the canal aperture 56 of each of the pair of ear buds 48 with her mouth on the principal opening 14 of the mouthpiece 12 to draw water from her ears.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
