JP2001017458A - Snore preventive tape attached to earlobe - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To apply a stimulus to a meridian point for palate in an earlobe by adhering a hard plastic sheet having a meridian point projection near one end of an adhering layer of an adhering tape with a length holding the lobe. SOLUTION: A hard plastic sheet 1 having meridian point stimulating projections 1a is adhered near one end of an adhering layer 2 of an adhering tape 3 with a length holding an earlobe to form a snore preventive tape to be attached to the earlobe. The other end of the adhering layer 2 is formed on a non-adhering portion 4, and a plurality of meridian point stimulating projections 1a are arranged on the plastic sheet 1. Thus, snore is eliminated and reduced to provide a good sleep and to prevent noise obstacle to circumference in a social life such as in a house, at a trip, or in a hospital.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a health appliance capable of removing noise disturbances to the surroundings, sleepiness and sore throat, and health disorders due to lack of oxygen and lack of sleep by making snoring quiet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional snoring apparatus includes an "anti-snoring device". This is to open the nostrils to ease breathing in the nose, close the mouth, and prevent snoring. (Utility model registration 3024977) Another related item is “nostril dilator”.
This content is also a tape that dilates the nostrils and prevents the outer wall tissue of the nostrils from being drawn in during breathing. (Special publication 11-501849)

[0003]

In the conventional nasal dilatation tape, the nose is obstructed, that is, snoring is eliminated by expanding the nares. However, the cause of snoring and snoring in the nose is not limited to the nostrils, but narrowing even a part of the air passageway, which is the upper airway from the nostrils to the throat and bronchi, causes nasal clogging and snoring. In particular, 75% of snoring is attributed to the vibration of the soft palate in the upper respiratory tract. << Reference: Shogakukan "Book that understands snoring" Author: Motoko Takayama Professor, Department of Otolaryngology, Tokyo Women's Medical University >> Then, the effect of snoring was tested by stimulating the acupoints of the palate in the earlobe. The following method was used to solve the problem.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an acupuncture point protruding portion near one end of an adhesive layer (2) of an adhesive tape (3) having a length sandwiching an earlobe (5). An earlobe-mounted snoring tape to which the provided rigid plastic sheet (1) is adhered.

In the above structure, the other end of the adhesive layer (2) is formed on the non-adhesive portion (4), and the snoring tape is attached to the earlobe.

3. The snoring tape attached to the earlobe according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of acupoint stimulating projections (1a) are provided on the plastic sheet (1).

[0007] When a plastic sheet with a projection was attached to both ears on an earlobe having an acupoint of the palate and tested on both ears, cases of eliminating or reducing snoring were found. A list of test examples is shown below.

[0008]

[Test example]

[0009]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. You can sleep better by eliminating and reducing snoring. It is possible to prevent noise disturbance in social life such as family life, travel destination, hospitalization and so on. When the nasal breathing becomes easier, the sore throat disappears by eliminating the mouth breathing. People who snore loudly do not get enough sleep, which improves their health disorders, such as fatigue in daily life, irritation, and reduced memory and concentration.
