Description

A BREATHING DEVICE
Field of Invention
This invention relates to a breathing device, and a method of using the breathing device.
Background of Invention
Respiratory infections occur as a result of a person becoming infected with a pathogen.
Pathogens spread from person to person mainly via droplets which are expelled from an infected person when the infected person coughs or sneezes. Alternatively, pathogens may spread via infected air. Ultimately, the pathogens from the droplets or infected air find their way into the mouths or noses of other people, and subsequently, if the conditions are appropriate, infect those people.
When a pathogen infects someone, an infection may start in the inner nose or throat of that person, and then spread to the lungs. Once in the lungs the infection can cause respiratory illnesses, and the infected person to have severe breathing difficulties, and sometimes lead to pneumonia and death of the infected person. The instances of death from pathogen infections such as novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) are particularly high.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a device which provides effective treatment to people suffering from respiratory infections, and stops a respiratory infection spreading to the lungs.

Brief Description of the Drawings
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a breathing device according to the present invention; and Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of a breathing device according to the present invention.
Detailed Description of the Drawings
With reference to Fig. 1, there is shown a breathing device 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the device 10 comprises a cover member 12, which is arranged to cover a user 14 in use so that a breathing chamber 16 is formed where the user's nostrils 18 and/or mouth 20 are located. In use, the user 14 breathes in air from the breathing chamber 16. The depicted breathing chamber 16 is partially defined by the user's head 15 and the remaining portion of the chamber 16 is defined by the cover member 12. In the depicted example, both the user's mouth 20 and nostrils 18 are located in the breathing chamber 16 formed by the cover member 12. The cover member 12 comprises a cover member inlet 21, which allows air to enter the breathing chamber 16 in use. The cover member 12 also includes a cover member outlet 23, which allows air to exit the breathing chamber 16 in use.
As shown, the device 10 also includes a heated air supply 22. The heated air supply 22 is arranged to provide heated air to the breathing chamber 16 in use. The heated air supply 22 is optionally arranged to supply heated air of no greater than 70°C to the breathing chamber 16. This ensures that the air is comfortable for the user 14 to breathe. Preferably, the heated air supply is configured to supply heated air to the breathing chamber 16 with a temperature in the range of 45°C to 70°C.
As shown, the heated air supply 22 comprises a body 24, which defines a passage 26. The passage 26 has a passage inlet 28 and a passage outlet 30. The passage inlet 28 is in communication with the atmosphere and the passage outlet 30 is in communication with the cover member inlet 21.
As shown, located within the passage 26 is a fan 32. The fan 32 is for creating a flow of air through the passage 26 to the passage outlet 30 in use. The term "fan" used in this specification means any device suitable for creating a flow of air. However, in the depicted example, the fan 32 is a fan that comprises rotatable blades. The fan 32 comprises a fan adjustment mechanism having a first adjustment knob 34. The fan adjustment mechanism is arranged such that the fan speed of the fan may be adjusted by turning the first adjustable knob 34. This allows the user 14 to vary the speed of the flow of air in use.
Provided within the passage 26 is a heating element 36. The heating element 36 is arranged to heat the air passing through the passage 26 to the passage outlet 30. The heating element 36 may comprise a heating element adjustment mechanism having a second adjustable knob 38. The heating element adjustment mechanism is arranged such that the amount of heat supplied to the air passing through the passage 26 by the heating element 36 may be adjusted by turning the second adjustable knob 38.
The body 24 also includes an air filter 27 for filtering air flowing through the passage 26 to the passage outlet 30. In the depicted example, the filter 27 is fixed to the body and arranged to filter air entering the passage inlet 28. However, it will be understood that the filter 27 could be located downstream of the passage inlet 28 inside the passage 26. Both of the heating element 36 and fan 32 are electrically powered and are connectable to a mains supply via cable 50.
In the depicted example, the device 10 includes a gripping portion 44 for the user to grip to keep the cover member 12 in position on the face of the user 14 in use. The device 10 of the first embodiment may therefore optionally not include a strap or another means for attaching the device 10 to the user 14.
With reference to Fig.2, there is shown a breathing device 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Essentially, the device 100 of the second embodiment includes all of the features of the device of the first embodiment, aside from in the device of the second embodiment, the heating element and fan (not shown) are battery powered. The device 100 therefore comprises a battery, which is preferably located within the body 124 of the device 100.
The body 124 of the device 100 is also more compact with respect to the body of the device of the first embodiment. The cover member 112 of the first embodiment includes a strap 160 for attaching the cover member 112 to the user.
Industrial Applicability
With reference to Fig. 1, in use of the device 10 of the first embodiment, the user 14 covers their mouth 20 and/or nostrils 18 with the cover member 12 such that their mouth 20 and/or nostrils 18 are located within the breathing chamber 16. The user 14 then connects the heating element 36 and fan 32 to the mains using the cable 50. The user then activates the heating element 36 using the second adjustable knob 38, and activates the fan 32 using the first adjustable knob 34. The user 14 then breathes the heated air supplied to the breathing chamber 16. The heated air supplied to the breathing chamber 16 preferably has a temperature in the range of 45°C to 70 °C so that the air is comfortable for the user 14 to breathe.
With reference to Fig. 2, the device 100 of the second embodiment is used in a similar way to the way the device 10 of the first embodiment is used as described above.
However, the user uses the strap 160 to secure the cover member 112 in position when forming the breathing chamber 16. The user also does not need to connect the heating element and fan to the mains as these elements are battery powered in the second embodiment.
The device of the present invention prevents a pathogen infection spreading from an infected person's nose, mouth and throat to their lungs. Specifically, the heated air supplied by the heated air supply kills the pathogen lifeforms in the infected person's nose, mouth and/or throat before they have a chance to spread downstream and to attach themselves to an inner surface of the person's lungs.
Furthermore, the heated air may be useful in treating an infection already present in the lungs of an infected person.
The present invention therefore provides an effective treatment for people infected with a virus such as novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
Furthermore, the device of the present invention greatly reduces the risk of a user infecting another person with a pathogen.
Advantageously, the device may be used by a healthcare professional (who may have a high risk of being infected with a pathogen) to ensure that they do not infect others in the intervening period between becoming infected with the pathogen and showing symptoms. The device could therefore be very effective at combating the spread of highly infectious viruses such as novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
The fact that the heated air is heated to a temperature in the range of 45°C to 70°C ensures that the pathogen lifeforms are killed by the heated air.
The fact that the heated air supply is arranged to supply heated air with a temperature of no greater than 70°C to the breathing chamber means that the user is able to comfortably breathe the air in, but that pathogens (such as 2019-nCoV) are killed within the airways of the user.
A human user is generally able to breathe through each of their mouth and nostrils.
The skilled person should therefore understand that the cover member could be formed such that in use it forms a breathing chamber where only one of the user's mouth and nostrils is located.
The cover member may be formed in such a way that it comprises a face piece which in use only covers a portion of the user's head to form the breathing chamber. Alternatively, the cover member may be arranged such that it encloses the entire head of the user to form the breathing chamber.
The air filter may optionally be doped in a material which produces a vapour for medical purposes. For example, the material may produce a vapour which causes the user's lungs to dilate. For example, the material may be a bronchodilator such as salmeterol or formoterol. In this way, when the user inhales through the device their airways may dilate. This can enhance the treatment provided by the device of the present invention.
Modifications and improvements may be incorporated without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
