Abstract

Anti-snoring device has a microphone or sound sensor for receiving the snoring noise. An impulse is then produced and transferred to the snorer. After waking for a short time, deep sleep is reduced. Preferred Features: The signal received is electronically amplified and filtered. The amplification and filtering can be adjusted. The impulse which can be adjusted in strength and length is transmitted to the snorer in electrical, acoustic or mechanical form.

Description

Bisher wurden bei der Behandlung des Schnarchens in erster Linie Beatmungsgeräte eingesetzt oder umfangreiche Operationen im Kiefer- und Rachenbereich durchgeführt. Es gibt durch den Zahnarzt angepaßte Geräte, die während des Schlafes die Zunge unten halten und den Unterkiefer nach vorne schieben, dadurch kommt es zu einer Verbesserung der Luftzufuhr beim Atmen.So far, ventilators have primarily been used in the treatment of snoring used or performed extensive operations in the jaw and throat area. It are devices adapted by the dentist that keep the tongue down during sleep and push the lower jaw forward, this improves the Air supply while breathing.

Der in Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, das Schnarchen zu verhindern und somit die Gesundheit und die Lebensqualität des Schnarchers wesentlich zu verbessern.The invention specified in protection claim 1 is based on the problem of snoring prevent and thus the health and quality of life of the snorer essential to improve.

Dieses Problem wird mit den im Schutzanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmalen wie folgt gelöst:
Durch das von uns entwickelte Anti-Schnarchgerät wird das Schnarchgeräusch erkannt und beim Schnarcher die Schlaftiefe durch kurze Weckimpulse herabgesetzt. Dieses bewirkt, daß die Muskulatur im Bereich der Luftwege wieder gestrafft wird, und es nicht zu einem lang anhaltendem Schnarchen kommt.This problem is solved with the features listed in protection claim 1 as follows:
Thanks to the anti-snoring device developed by us, the snoring sound is recognized and the snoring depth is reduced by short wake-up pulses. This causes the muscles in the airways to be tightened again and there is no long-lasting snoring.

Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht das dem Schnarcher eine eventuelle Operation erspart bleibt, die Lebensqualität von ihm und seinem Partner (getrennte Schlafzimmer) erhöht wird, und eventuelle folgende Symptome des Schnarchens erspart bleiben, wie z. B.With the invention it is achieved that the snorer is spared a possible operation, the quality of life of him and his partner (separate bedrooms) is increased, and the following symptoms of snoring are spared, e.g. B.

  • - verminderte Leistungsfähigkeit- reduced performance
  • - Konzentrationsschwäche- poor concentration
  • - Kopfschmerzen- A headache
  • - Schwindelattacken- dizziness
  • - Persönlichkeitsveränderungen- personality changes
  • - nächtliches Schwitzen- night sweats

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wie folgt:
Das Schnarchgeräusch wird mit mindestens einem Mikrofon aufgenommen, einem Verstärker zugeführt, dort auf seine Signalhöhe und Frequenz geprüft.An embodiment of the invention as follows:
The snoring sound is recorded with at least one microphone, fed to an amplifier, where it is checked for its signal level and frequency.

Die Empfindlichkeit des Verstärkers ist mittels Regler einstellbar.The sensitivity of the amplifier can be adjusted by means of a controller.

Erfolgt eine positive Auswertung, wird mindestens ein Vibrator für eine einstellbare Zeit aktiviert, danach erfolgt eine Zwangspause des Vibrators, bevor der nächste Impuls ausgelöst werden kann.If there is a positive evaluation, at least one vibrator is activated for an adjustable time activated, then the vibrator is forced to pause before the next pulse is triggered can be.

Der Vibrator wird am Körper des Schläfers oder dessen Schlafstätte befestigt.The vibrator is attached to the body of the sleeper or his sleeping place.
