Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technical field of water sports equipment and more specifically relates to a swimming cap which prevents water from entering ears.

When swimming in a swimming pool, wearing a swimming cap is not only a basic gear but also a basic etiquette. By wearing a swimming cap, it is possible to prevent hairs from falling into the water to block and pollute the swimming pool; it is also effective in protecting hairs, reducing damages done to the hairs by the pool water, reducing resistance and thus increasing swimming speed.

Existing swimming caps are not provided with isolated portions for enclosing human ears. When a swimmer wears a swimming cap during swimming, as silicone swimming caps are not highly waterproof, some water still seeps from the lower opening to the head or even the ears, making it extremely uncomfortable for the swimmer. Therefore, a swimming cap with better waterproof capability is highly anticipated.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to overcome the technical deficiencies of the prior art, namely the poor waterproof capability of swimming caps in the prior art which results in water seeping to the head or even the ears easily and causing extreme discomfort to swimmers.

To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

A swimming cap which prevents water from entering ears comprising a swimming cap main body; the swimming cap main body has a left side and a right side, each of which is symmetrically provided with an ear enclosing part for accommodating a human ear; each of the ear enclosing parts has an outer wall which protrudes outwards from an outer wall of the swimming cap main body; each of the ear enclosing parts has an inner wall which forms an enclosing space for enclosing the human ear which protrudes outwards from an inner wall of the swimming cap main body; each of the enclosing spaces has an outer edge which is provided with a waterproof edge in shape of an inclined trumpet at a connecting portion with the swimming cap main body.

Further, each of the waterproof edges is a soft edge.

Further, the waterproof edges and the swimming cap main body are integrally formed.

Further, the swimming cap main body and the ear enclosing parts are integrally formed.

Further, a head portion waterproof edge which is inclined inwards is provided at a lower opening of the swimming cap main body.

Further, the head portion waterproof edge is a soft edge, and the head portion waterproof edge and the swimming cap main body are integrally formed.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

The present invention provides a swimming cap which prevents water from entering ears. When in use, the ear enclosing parts and the waterproof edges provided in the inner side isolate the ears from other parts of the head, so that water would not enter the ears during swimming. The head portion waterproof edge increases waterproof level and reduces water seeping. The present invention is simple and compact in structure and highly practical.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is clearly and comprehensively explained herein with reference to the following detailed embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments that are described herein are only some of the possible embodiments of the present invention but not the only embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtainable without any inventive effort by a person skilled in this field of art based on the embodiments of the present invention disclosed herein should also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Embodiment 1

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the swimming cap which prevents water from entering ears comprises a swimming cap main body 1. The swimming cap main body 1 has a left side and a right side, each of which is symmetrically provided with an ear enclosing part 2 for accommodating a human ear. Each of the ear enclosing parts 2 has an outer wall which protrudes outwards from an outer wall of the swimming cap main body 1. Each of the ear enclosing parts 2 has an inner wall which forms an enclosing space for enclosing the human ear which protrudes outwards from an inner wall of the swimming cap main body 1. Each of the enclosing spaces has an outer edge which is provided with a waterproof edge 3 in shape of an inclined trumpet at a connecting portion with the swimming cap main body 1. Each of the waterproof edges 3 is a soft edge. The waterproof edges 3 and the swimming cap main body 1 are integrally formed. The swimming cap main body 1 and the ear enclosing parts 2 are integrally formed.

Embodiment 2

The present embodiment is different from Embodiment 1 in that a head portion waterproof edge 4 is additionally provided. More particularly, as shown in the figures, the head portion waterproof edge 4 which is inclined inwards is provided at a lower opening of the swimming cap main body 1. The head portion waterproof edge 4 is a soft edge. The head portion waterproof edge 4 and the swimming cap main body 1 are integrally formed.

The present invention provides a swimming cap which prevents water from entering ears. When in use, the ear enclosing parts 2 and the waterproof edges 3 provided in the inner side isolate the ears from other parts of the head, so that water would not enter the ears during swimming. The head portion waterproof edge 4 increases waterproof level and reduces water seeping. The present invention is simple and compact in structure and highly practical.

The embodiments described above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting the present invention. Any changes, alternative configurations or improvements that are made within the essence and principle of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition, it should be understood that while the specification has been described in terms of embodiments, it is not intended that each embodiment includes only one independent technical solution. The specification is prepared in such a way for the purpose of clarity only. The persons skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and various embodiments may be suitably combined to form other embodiments that will be understood by those skilled in the art.
