Abstract

Device to improve the breathing of people through the nose increasing the flow of air in its path, and consisting of a single piece formed by two rings that are housed in the nasal vestibules, joined by a bridge that hugs the nasal septum by its lower base, built without welded joints or glued in biocompatible metal material or built in biocompatible metal base and subsequent gold and silver surface bath. It does not deteriorate with use, maintaining its degree of rigidity and shape. # Its useful life is estimated at a minimum of 15. # It does not deteriorate with use, maintaining its degree of rigidity and shape.

Description

DEVICE FOR IMPROVING BREATHING IN PERSONS VIA NASAL

INTRODUCTION

The present invention relates to a device that facilitates the passage of air through the nostrils, allowing greater flow rate and introducing several advantages over other previous devices.

BACKGROUND

We know that there are people with breathing difficulties. Likewise, during the development of certain physical activities, better breathing improves the degree of performance obtaining and therefore a better result.

There are devices (for example adhesive strips with their rigid central part, or others) that facilitate the entry of air through the nostrils, but that present inconveniences, either because of the small number of uses they admit, or because of the discomforts that in Some people cause when used with a certain frequency.

The motive device of this invention has advantages over previous ones, such as its long life and, consequently, the large number of uses to which it can be subjected and the long duration of each of them without causing inconvenience to the user.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The reason device of the invention is formed by two rings joined by a bridge, constituting a single piece without welded or glued joints, as can be seen in the drawing.

The rings are introduced inside both nasal vestibules producing an over opening of the nostrils and thus allowing the passage of a greater volume of air. The joint bridge is the only visible part of the piece. This embraces the nasal septum at the bottom and in addition to contributing to a good support, prevents the rings from being able to

30 advance inside the graves more than is due.

Large size (A): Inner diameter of rings (d) ... 10 mm. Ring height (h) ...................... 3 mm.

Wall thickness (e) ..................... 1 mm. Bridge Width (n) .................. 2 mm. m

Medium size (B): Inner diameter of rings (d) ..... 8 mm. Ring height (h) ........................ 3 mm. Wall thickness (e) ...................... 1 mm. Bridge width (n) .................. .2 mm. Total height (H) ............................ 16 mm.

Small size (C): Inner diameter of rings (d) .... 6 mm. Ring height (h) ........................ 3 mm. Wall thickness (e) ...................... 1 mm. Bridge Width (n) ................... 2 mm. Total height (H) ............................ 15 mm.

The design of the rings and the bridge allows a minimum surface of contact with the nasal walls, which is an important advantage over previous ones that cover the entire surface of the nasal vestibule, preventing the filtration of air in this area and resulting in more uncomfortable to wear

The device construction process is as follows:

From the right diameter tube and wall, it is cut to the precise extent. Subsequently and by means of a die press, the surface of the excess tube wall is removed. Then, the proper curvature is given to the joint bridge. Finally all edges are softened.

Claims (7)

1.-Device to improve the breathing of people through the nose increasing the flow of air in its path, formed by two rings that are housed in the nasal vestibules, joined by a bridge that hugs the nasal septum by its lower base and characterized essentially by the fact of being constructed with biocompatible metallic material or with biocompatible metallic material and subsequent gold or silver plating, constituting a single piece without welded or glued joints. 2. Device for improving the breathing of people through the nose, according to claim 1, characterized by the fact of having a long life of at least 15 years, subjected to daily uses. 3. Device for improving the breathing of people through the nose, according to claim 1, characterized in that it does not cause irritation or allergic discomfort in the contact tissue. 4. Device for improving the breathing of people through the nose, according to claim 1, characterized by the fact of achieving a firm and comfortable fixation in the nasal vestibule, which does not diminish with use. 5. Device for improving the breathing of people through the nose, according to claim 1, characterized by the fact of having the minimum surface of contact with the nasal walls and therefore not interfering with the important functions that it performs to filter , humidify and heat the air you breathe. 6.-Use of a device as described in claims 1 to 5 above for water activities. 7.-Use of a device as described in claims 1 to 5 above to relieve stress situations.
