This invention relates to a sound deadener for cup to conform `to the contour ofithe esh as it protecting the ears and has for its principal obis tov shape the ofn the cup Vto ythe. contour ject the provision of a device for excluding noise of the temporal bones containing the organs of from the ear, and deadening those soundfvibrahearing. This is especially important .where the 5 tions which interfere with sleep, reading or study, ear cups arefmade of glass or similarsubstance 5;
such as those due to the radio, talking, the 'telel which when sufficiently thick'is non-responsive phone bell, building operations, playing children,y to sound waves. 1 trains, trolley cars, automobiles, etc. I have discovered thatfmanypeople suffering Another object is to provide meansfor coverfrom certain nervous disorders are apparently im- 1.0` ing the ears in such a manner as to exclude every mune to sounds which distract the ordinary perl vibration possible and which nts the contour of yson but the nervous condition` ofpthese` people the temporal bones particularly the` Zygomatic is greatly aggravated byacontinual noise'or din in frontr of the ear, thelspace between vthe mastoid which trouble the ordinary person but little, for and mandible under `thelobule and' the slight example,thatuexperienced:inlcities, particularly l depressionat thesuture between the temporal in large .offices and` mills, and "fat busy street 15 and the mastojd, i i f intersections.

This boss causes a gripping enstructing this cup to t the contour of the several gagement with the strap and in case the strap is temporal bones and incidentally but not necesnot used permits the use of a fastener, prefersarily to nt the contour of the flesh about the ably of wood, having at its lower end an inwardear.

groove 18 of the boss 1'7, and having at its upper end a fork 21 to receive the free end of a U- shaped band or strap 19 also preferably of wood, the fork operating in much the same manner as a clothes pin for securely connecting the lower part with the band and for providing means for adjusting the height of the ear cup in order that the device may t different sized heads. As the band 19 is made of wood it will be seen that no metal whatsoeveris usedin the structure.v 1
As isibest seenin Figure 3 it is important that the forward wall of each earl cup be provided with contours 24 and 25, the former being shaped to fit the Zygomatic bone at the temporal-maxilliary joint and the latter contour being shaped to correspond to the contour of the fleshdirectly in front of the lobule.r Ihe lower n wallv of the structure is curved and-slightly extended at the rim to iit the suture between the temporal and the mastoid. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the rear wall follows the curve of the mastoid'and is given a slant atr 26 tocorresp'ond to that'of this bone. It is=important that .thecurvature of the cup should follow. asnear asgpossible thecurvature of the mastoid since theV cavities inthisbone are connected directly to the tympanum and any vibration that may be set up in .the cup will be transmitted thru `this bone :to the ear drum.
When the cup is made of glass as I prefer it shall'be, itis limportant that. the thickness be suflicient to exclude the many annoying sounds that are to be prevented `from reaching the ear. On thel other hand ituis equally obvious thatif the walls are too thick the weight ofthe device makes thewearing of it `quite uncomfortable. My expermentsjindicate'that a thickness'of about a quarter 'of j an inch produces' fthe results desired without sacrifice of comfort. 'a i "f In Figure 'l is shown the preferred shape' of the supporting band'19`which gives best' results when made of jhickory. Being generally U-shaped the bandis provided with a` curved portion 30` and two straight portionsl and`,32. `V The 'lattergportions are made straight in order to have'adjustable engagement with the forks 21 and to conform to the sides of'thevhead so that the ear cups `10'will be held snugly against the ear.
