Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention integrates the effects of sound and fragrance, directly affects the senses and smells of the human body, enhances mental stability, and promotes sleep without using sleeping pills and alcoholic beverages.
The present invention relates to a configuration and a structure of a device which contributes to improvement of insomnia and which is useful for care by adding a practical function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional devices are used only for a limited purpose or in use, and are not configured so as to achieve a combined effect or to simultaneously operate a plurality of functions. Conventionally, when sound is heard from an audio device, the user must directly listen to the sound, or connect an earphone or headphones to a sound output terminal and directly wear it on the ear. recent years,
Extensive research has been conducted on the effects of sound and fragrance on the human body, and many research results on sound and fragrance effective for stabilizing the mind have been published. However, there are few devices configured to directly affect the hearing and smell of the human body and to enhance the mental stability effect in a complex manner.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a highly convenient device which can be used by an appropriate choice of each person in order to improve inconveniences and inconveniences which tend to occur in the above-mentioned cases, etc. The aim is to enhance the mental stability effect while simultaneously enjoying the fragrance. In addition, this method directly affects the hearing and smell of the human body and acts on the cerebrum to stabilize the mind in a complex manner, and thus is effective as one of the measures for improving insomnia. It is another object of the present invention to provide a sleep device that can be used as a nursing care device for supporting a daily life of a physically handicapped person, an inpatient, and the elderly by adding a hearing aid function and a loudspeaker function.

[0004]

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned object is achieved by constructing the apparatus as follows. That is, the small speaker of the receiving section and the storage section of the fragrance element constituting the present apparatus are arranged on the pillow or bedding on the left and right sides of the head, and the earphones or headphones are not directly attached to the ears. You can listen to the sound of audio equipment at an appropriate volume. Also, by putting dried herbs in the storage section of the fragrance element and instilling herbal essential oil or perfume, fragrance can be sucked from the left and right. Further, the present invention is a sleep device characterized by being configured so that it can be used as a care device by adding a hearing aid and a loudspeaker function.

[0005] In the device of the present invention, it is not specified whether the transmitting unit is mounted or arranged outside the audio equipment or is built in. When attached to the outside, it can be attached to different audio equipment, for example, a television or a stereo by using accessories and making it detachable. If built-in, the components such as the substrate of the transmission section of this device and the semiconductor integrated circuit have already been reduced in size and weight, and since it is not a bulky structural design, the transmission section is directly mounted on the circuit board of the TV or stereo body It is possible to If the transmitting section of the present apparatus is built in, the added value is added to the original function of the television or the stereo, and even the receiving section of the present apparatus alone can listen to the sound of the audio equipment at a remote place. When used in combination with a control box that centrally adjusts the transmission / reception functions of this device, for example, when multiple people are watching one TV at the same time, the speakers can be placed in multiple places to provide a classroom, training room, or break. The sound can be heard clearly at an appropriate volume even at a position away from the rear seat or the sound source, such as a room, which is effective for viewing educational programs and training videos.

In the configuration of the apparatus according to the present invention, the transmission section, the reception section, the small speaker and the storage section for the fragrance element are individually independent, and the location of each section selected as necessary, such as the place of use and bedding, etc. It does not specify the mounting method. The receiving part and the small speaker are connected by a cable, and the storage case of the small speaker and the storage part of the fragrance element have a structure that can be detached from each other. Thus, using the mounting accessory, only the required functions can be mounted on the object or placed near it. It can be attached to a sofa, a backrest of a chair, a massage chair, a passenger car, a passenger boat, or the like.

[0007] In the device of the present invention, the receiving function unit and the small speaker are not specified. In other words, the frequency of a commercially available FM radio is tuned to the FM band so that it is designed to sufficiently fulfill the function of receiving. Therefore, the listening function is satisfied by the combination of the transmitting unit of the present apparatus and the FM radio.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates the structure of the transmitting section of the sleep device according to the present invention described in claim 1, and a case where a cover of a case for storing a speaker and a cover of a case for storing an aromatic element are attached to a pillow cover. is there. The three storage covers are configured to be connected to each other using a magic tape, a fastener, a hook, or the like, and are easily detachable. Therefore, the selected parts can be individually arranged or mounted on different places or objects as needed.

FIG. 2 shows a configuration in which the transmitting section of the sleep apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention is mounted on a television receiver, a speaker is mounted on a bed board, and a receiving section is arranged on the floor at the bottom of the bed.
It shows an embodiment when listening to a sound at the ear in a state of lying on the bed. However, in normal use speakers,
It does not specify where the receiving section and the storage case for the fragrance element are mounted and arranged.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the speaker and the storage case for the fragrance element of the sleep apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention are arranged on a futon, and the sound of the television is heard at the ear in a supine position. It is.

FIG. 4 shows an image when a plurality of persons view the function of the sleeping device according to the present invention via a control box. TV, etc.
Even if the sound of the audio equipment itself is muted, the volume that can be heard at the ear can be optimally adjusted by the individual's choice, so that it is less likely to cause discomfort to the people in the room. Also, even in a hospital room, such as a hospital room, where the control box and the audio device are connected by a cable, a clear voice can be easily heard at the ear without impairing the function of the apparatus by connecting the cable to the control box.

[0012]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following excellent effects. Since the transmitting unit is directly connected to the audio output terminal of the audio device to transmit the audio signal, a clear sound without noise can be reproduced even at a remote place. Since the two speakers and the storage case for the fragrance element can be separately mounted or arranged so as to sandwich the head or the pillow, the sound and fragrance can be enjoyed from both sides even if the posture is changed. The versatility is wide because a commercially available radio with FM can be used as a substitute for the receiving unit. Convenience is further enhanced if the transmitting unit is built into the audio equipment. Since the transmitting unit and the receiving unit can be attached to and detached from an object using accessories, the transmitting unit and the receiving unit can be moved to and installed in different objects and places, so that the convenience is high. The structure and design to which additional functions can be added can be used for various purposes.
