Description

  The present invention relates to a learning aid that can be used functionally and effectively to improve concentration and memory by wearing on the head when a child or student studies.

  Conventionally, several techniques have been provided for assistive devices for improving concentration and memory when children and students study. Among them, there is a learning instrument technology that improves memory by listening to the voice uttered by the learner himself. (For example, see Patent Document 1)

There are also technologies such as a headphone-type sound collector that can efficiently collect voices from the front when listening to music, the voices of speakers, voices of birds and insects, and conversations with people who are far away. For example, see Patent Document 2)
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-123931 (page 3-6, FIG. 2) Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 64-6700 (page 3-7, Fig. 1)

  The technique of the learning instrument disclosed in the above-mentioned JP-A-10-123931, when reading aloud after inserting the ear mounting part provided at the ends of the two tubes from the substantially jugo-shaped sound collecting part into both ears, It is a technology that can be heard by both ears through the tube from the sound collection part, and is a learning instrument that fulfills a certain purpose. However, since this learning instrument is a type that collects only its own voice like an earphone, for example, when listening to the voice of an external teacher or lecturer, it cannot be used structurally as a sound collector when worn. In that case, there are inconveniences and troubles such as having to remove and ask. In addition, although a power source such as a battery is unnecessary, there are many constituent members, and it is inevitable that the cost is increased. Furthermore, although it is a sound collecting device, many other disclosed applications such as a device that collects birds' voices in the conversation of a hearing-impaired person or birdwatching, for example, can be used for other purposes. It was a technology with no characteristics different from the sound collectors.

  Next, the technology disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 64-6700 efficiently collects voices from the front in conversations such as music appreciation, lecturer's voice, bird and insect voice appreciation, and those who are far away. It is a headphone type sound collector that can make sound, and this technology also serves its purpose. However, if a child wears a sound collector that is used for learning purposes, it is acceptable to simply collect the teacher's voice from the front, but in order to efficiently collect his own voice by reading aloud, It is a sound collector that has inconveniences and disadvantages such as inability to collect sound functionally.

  In order to eliminate the inconveniences and drawbacks described above, in claim 1, two symmetrical shielding bodies are integrally formed with a side shielding plate extending a certain length from the ear cover, and the shielding bodies are formed. Used by configuring a learning aid provided with an attachment member for attaching to the head on the ear cover formed by connecting the upper side of the side shielding plate facing each other with an extendable upper shielding body When worn on the head, the voice from the front and the voice of reading aloud can be collected effectively, and the concentration and memory are more effective due to the combined action of shielding the sides and forehead of both eyes. Equipment that can be enhanced.

  In Claim 2, it is set as the learning aid which can hold | maintain a forehead stably by providing the holding plate standingly arranged in the inner side of the above-mentioned upper shielding body.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the adjustment shielding plate is fixed to the inner side of the above-described side shielding plate so that the left and right shielding widths can be arbitrarily set.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the above-described ear cover and holding plate are provided with elastic pads so that the burden on the head when worn can be softened.

  The learning aid according to the present invention, in addition to the ear cover that can collect sound efficiently, faces two shields each having a side shield plate extending in front thereof, and the upper side of the side shield plate is shielded from the upper part. Since it is a form connected with the body, when it is worn on the head, it is worn in such a way as to shield both sides of the face and the front of the forehead from both ears in a U-shape. Therefore, the voice of the teacher from the front and his / her voice by reading aloud can be efficiently collected and amplified by the shielding plate, and the synergistic effect of obtaining bone conduction due to the reverberation of the ear cover in contact with the periphery of the ear, Therefore, it is possible to effectively transmit the sound collection, so that it is possible to improve concentration and memory.

  In addition, the front and forehead of both ears are covered with a shielding member to block unwanted surrounding scenery from entering the eyes, and the field of view is limited to only the front teacher and the desk surface. Dispersion can be prevented, and therefore a learning aid that can bring out the concentration power extremely effectively and maximally by the combined effect with the sound collecting action described above is provided. By the way, there are individual differences as a result of wearing and measuring on children, but the brain frontal lobe blood flow dynamics when studying with this learning tool is about 10 to 20 percent compared to when not wearing it From this increase, it can be said that it is a learning aid that is expected to increase concentration.

  This learning aid is intended to increase the concentration of infants, children and students, but it can be used not only by adults but also by elderly people who are far away from the ears. It can also be used as an instrument to increase the concentration of reading books and promote brain activation. In addition, since the configuration is simple and easy to handle, and a battery or the like is unnecessary, it can be manufactured lightly and inexpensively. As another application, it is a learning aid based on ergonomics that cannot be seen in the past, such as being used as a voice watch for bird and insect observation.

  An ear cover formed by connecting and forming the side shield plate, which is formed by connecting two symmetrical shields provided with a side shield plate extending to the side of the face, at the front part of the ear cover, with an upper shield. The learning aid is provided with a mounting member to be mounted on the head.

  The inside of the learning aid of the present invention excluding the perspective view shown in FIG. 1, the AA line longitudinal sectional view shown in FIG. 2, the backside exploded reference view shown in FIG. 3, and the lower plate of the upper shield in FIG. This will be described with reference to the enlarged view shown and the example of use shown in FIG.

  The learning aid 1 according to the present invention is formed by integrally forming a side shielding plate 3 having a substantially U-shaped cross section, which is formed by extending a predetermined length from the front side of a bowl-shaped ear cover 2 that covers the ear. On the edge of the ear cover 2, a two-piece symmetric shielding body is formed by attaching a substantially C-shaped pad 4 containing a cushioning material, and the ear cover 2 of one shielding body includes: The above-mentioned two sheets, which are formed by attaching a band 7 with a buckle 6 as an attachment member 5 to be attached to the head, and attaching a band 7 provided with a hook-and-loop fastener 8 including male and female to the other ear cover 2. The side shield plate with the ear cover 2 in which the end portion of the substantially U-shaped adjustment shield plate 10 having the opening 9 is fixed to the inner side of the side shield plates 3 and 3 by the shaft pins 11 and 11. 3 and 3 are formed.

  Next, after the two side shielding plates 3 and 3 are made to face each other, the upper side portion of the side shielding plates 3 and 3 is formed as a telescopic upper shielding formed by the constituent members shown in FIGS. The learning aid 1 is configured by movably connecting both sides of the body 12 with hinges 13 and 13.

  Further, the upper shielding body 12 will be described in detail. First, the upper plate 14 serving as a base has a length from the distal end portion of the side shielding plate 3 to the ear cover 2 portion and a size about the width of the face. The upper side is a circular arc edge, a holding plate 15 is provided on the outer side of the circular arc edge, and the inner lower side is provided with a U-shaped receiving edge 16 on the left and right sides and on the lower side. The elastic pad 4 is attached to the surface of the holding plate 15 integrally formed with the upper plate 14 provided with the receiving hole 18 in the middle thereof.

  Next, a separate gear 19 having a coin groove on the back surface is positioned in the receiving hole 18 on the inner surface of the upper plate 14, and the left and right sides thereof are half the upper plate 14 and the upper side is an arc. A horizontal slot 21 for accommodating the screw hole protrusion 17 on the upper plate 14 is provided in the upper part of the slide plate 20 to be formed, and two linear guide protrusions 22 and 22 are provided at a predetermined interval in the lower part thereof. The slide plates 22 are provided by alternately projecting the gear plates 23 and 23 engaged with the gear 19 from the upper and lower guide projections 22 and 22 positions of the two slide plates 20 and 20 that are symmetrical to each other. On the upper surface where 22 is positioned, two guide protrusions 22 and 22 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the inner side surface, and the locking pieces 24 and 24 for the adjustment shielding plates 10 and 10 are provided on both lower sides of the outer side surface, A lower plate 26 provided with a screw hole 25 in the same position as the screw hole protrusion 17 on the upper plate 14 is overlapped. After that, the upper shield 12 is formed by fastening screws (not shown), and the slide plates 20 and 20 ends of the upper shield 12 and the upper sides of the side shield plates 3 and 3 are hinged. By connecting 13,13, it is set as the learning aid 1 which can adjust arbitrarily the space | interval of the two side part shielding plates 3 and 3 which oppose.

  The learning aid 1 according to the present invention is such that the side shielding plates 3 and 3 extended forward from the ear covers 2 and 2 covering both ears are opposed to each other, and the upper portions of the side shielding plates 3 and 3 are extendable upper portions. Since it is the learning aid 1 composed of the shield 12, when using it, the gear 19 located outside the upper shield 12 is first rotated with a coin or the like to expand it to an interval suitable for the width of the face, When the ear cover 2 is placed on both ears and fixed to the head with the attachment member 5 by the band 7, as shown in FIG. 5, the sides of both eyes extended from both ears and the front of the forehead are It is mounted in a shape that covers it in a letter shape.

  When worn as described above, first the voice of the teacher's voice as well as the voice of the teacher's voice from the front is collected by the ear cover 2 while echoing the side shielding plate 3 and the ear. Due to the synergistic effect with bone conduction by the ear cover 2 in contact with the periphery of the ear, the voice can be more effectively captured in the brain. In addition, since both sides of the eye and the front of the forehead are covered and shielded for a certain length, the field of view is limited to only the front and lower parts. Further, when it is desired to narrow the left and right fields of view, the adjustment shielding plate 10 located inside the side shielding plate 3 is arbitrarily adjusted in the range up to the locking pieces 24, 24 provided on both sides of the lower plate 26. In addition, even when the interval is narrowed, the sound can be collected through the open portion 9, so there is no hindrance. Since the two side shielding plates 3 are connected to the upper shielding member 12 by the hinge 13, the two side shielding plates 3 are easy to carry because they can be folded or unfolded compactly to form a single plate.

  The attachment member 5 constituting the learning aid 1 according to the present invention is two bands 7 to which a buckle 6 and a hook-and-loop fastener 8 are attached, but using a U-shaped elastic sandwiching body employed in headphones or the like. Also good. The upper shield 12 is an expansion / contraction method using two slide plates 20 that engage with the upper and lower sides of the gear 19, but in addition to this, one is a wide slot and the other is taken in and out of the slot. A combination of plates or a bellows method may be adopted. In addition, the type in which the width of the upper shield 12 is formed to be large, medium, and small may not be a method of expanding and contracting. Further, the two side shielding plates 3 and the upper shielding body 12 are connected by a hinge 13, but a fixing method may be used, and neither is particularly limited.

  The present invention is a device for improving concentration and memory in children's learning and the elderly, but as another application, when used in birdwatching in the field, it is easy to identify the direction of bird calls, In addition, it can be applied as a watch tool that can obtain a voice amplification effect.
