Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tool for preventing a nasal congestion, which is easy to use for a long period, and designed to lessen air flow resistance in a nose with a nostrils dilator ring inserted into nostrils. <P>SOLUTION: This tool for preventing nasal congestion is designed so that a nostrils dilator ring 1 is inserted into nostrils. The ring 1 is made of one linear member harmless to the human body or the one coated with a material such as a silicon rubber, a plastic, or the like that is also harmless to the human body, in order to secure air flow passages by physically expanding the nostrils. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a nostril expansion ring for expanding a nostril to smoothly perform nasal breathing.

  Conventional methods for expanding the nostril to facilitate nasal breathing have been proposed, such as inserting an expansion device into a clip-shaped device or nostril, or expanding with an elastic band from the outer wall of the nose.

  According to the conventional proposal, the insertion part is easy to use, such as reducing the area of the air flow passage, inconvenient removal, skin allergies due to adhesives, reduced adhesion due to sebum and sweating, and complicated structure. I have a problem that it is not good.

  The present invention inserts a ring for expanding the nostril into the nostril and pushes the nose wing outward. However, the use of the linear member has little effect on the area of the air flow passage, and is effective even when used repeatedly. The purpose is to provide an easy-to-use nostril expansion ring.

Means to solve the problem

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a nasal septum with an integral linear member having moderate elasticity and plasticity, harmless to the body, or an integral linear member coated with a material harmless to the body, such as silicon or vinyl. A nostril expansion ring is comprised by the press part, the nose wing press part, and the connection part.

The invention's effect

  Since the use of the linear member as described above has reduced the influence on the reduction of the air flow passage area, the air friction is lowered and smooth nasal breathing can be secured. Therefore, the influence of mouth breathing on the throat, bronchus and lungs on foreign matter, dust, ambient temperature and humidity can be reduced.

  In addition, since no adhesive is used, there is no problem of reduced adhesive strength due to skin allergies, sebum and sweating, and it can be used for a long period of time.

  If exercise or labor that exhausts physical strength is performed, the respiratory rate increases and the air inhalation speed passing through the nostril increases, moving the nose wing inward and narrowing the air flow passage, but the nostril expansion ring of the present invention To prevent the nose wings from moving inward and to secure an air flow passage.

  Since the linear member has elasticity and plasticity, the shape can be adjusted to change the nasal septum pressing force and the nasal wing pressing force. Moreover, it becomes a nostril expansion ring with few uncomfortable feelings by adjusting to the nostril size of each user.

  Both ends of the integral linear member forming the ring of the present invention are spherical as shown in FIGS. 2 and 2 to protect the inner wall of the nostril when the ring is inserted and pulled out.

  The nasal septum pressing part at the center of the ring is the part that clamps the nasal septum from the left and right nostrils and fixes the ring, forming a wave shape as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, increasing contact resistance and preventing movement due to slipping ing.

  Since the shape of the nasal septum differs from person to person, the nasal septum pressing portion can be stably fixed without causing a sense of incongruity even if the nasal septum pressing portion is not corrugated linear.

  The outer edge of the ring is a nose wing pressing portion that extends the left and right nose wings outward from the inside of the nose, and is curved outward in the left and right directions as shown in FIGS. Further, by changing the degree of curvature and changing the distance between the nasal septum pressing portion and the nasal wing pressing portion, the nasal wing pressing force changes, and a force for pushing out the nose wing suitable for each person can be obtained.

  The ring connecting portion serves as a place where the left and right components are prevented from dissipating, the ring is prevented from moving to the back of the nose, and is picked up when pulled out. Moreover, by changing the degree of curvature, the nasal septal pressing force changes, and an appropriate clamping force can be obtained.

  The entire ring is made up of an integral linear member with elasticity and plasticity, so the shape can be adjusted partially or entirely, and there is little discomfort by adjusting to the size of each nose. Can be used as a good nostril expansion ring.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, since it is formed in a left and right V shape, it becomes a force that pushes the nose wing at a right angle as shown in FIG.

  The linear member is easy to mold, and within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims, slight changes in size and shape are necessary for adults, children, women and men, Is understood to belong to the scope.
