Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention is intended to maintain the muscle strength of facial muscles that change facial expressions in response to changes in human emotions, particularly muscle groups such as the laughter muscle, the lower muscles, the large zygomaticus muscle, and the small zygomaticus muscle around the mouth. Training equipment used for holding and strengthening.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Facial expressions play an important role as a means of communication, because they express the changes in emotions in a person's inner heart and convey them to others. Many skin muscles on the skin of the face play a role in shaping this facial expression in response to changes in emotions, and various facial expressions are created by contracting all or part of these skin muscles according to emotional movements. Become. From this point of view, the skin muscles that generally occur on the surface of the skull and attach to the skin of the face are called facial muscles, and these facial muscles are composed of muscle groups around the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.

By the way, these facial muscles are not always fully used in daily life, and muscles that are not used are weakened. Similarly, aging also contributes to the weakening of facial muscle strength. The weakening of the facial muscles slows down the changes in facial expressions and cannot be said to play a role as a communication means. Not only that, but weakening of muscle makes it easy to put unnecessary fat on the face, which is one of the factors causing sagging and wrinkling of subcutaneous fat, which is not desirable for beauty.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

The present invention has been made against such a background, and an object thereof is to provide a training apparatus suitable for maintaining and strengthening facial muscles around the mouth.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the facial muscle training apparatus of the present invention is provided with a lip receiving portion at one end of a rod-shaped member and a hollow portion of a female slider having a lip receiving portion formed at one end of a tubular member. The formed male slider is slidably inserted, and the female slider is further provided with a coil spring for applying a repulsive force to both sliders when the male slider and / or the female slider slide in the hollow portion. A stopper receiving portion, which comes into contact with a stopper formed on the male slider and regulates the pulling-out of the male slider, is formed at the other end of the tubular member.

[0007] The present training device enables effective training by the coil spring exerting a sliding load on the facial muscles when the female slider and / or the male slider slide. Also, since the coil spring is covered by the hollow part of the female slider, it does not come into contact with the inside of the mouth and is hygienic, and the highly versatile coil spring has excellent selectivity of the spring constant. The sliding resistance of can be set as the load on the facial muscles. Furthermore, since this training device has a simple structure as a whole, an effective training effect can be obtained with a simple device, which is advantageous in terms of cost.

In the training device, it is preferable that the male slider and the female slider are curvedly formed. If the entire device is curved, it is possible to use this device by positioning both curved sliders along the teeth and outside the teeth. Therefore, not only when using the device with the upper and lower teeth open, but also with the upper and lower teeth closed, it is possible to prevent the sliding operation without biting both sliders. Not at all. That is, the facial muscles can be effectively trained.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, a training device 1 for skeletal muscles according to the present invention comprises a female slider 2 and a male slider 3 slidably inserted into the female slider 2 and is entirely curved.

The female slider 2 is composed of a tubular portion 5 having a hollow portion 4 inside and a lip receiving portion 6 formed at the base end thereof. As shown in FIG. 2, the tubular portion 5 is provided with a coil spring 7 in the hollow portion 4, and when the male slider 3 slides in the compression direction of the coil spring 7 during use, the repulsive force is generated. It also acts as a sliding resistance against the female slider 2. That is, the resilience of the coil spring 7 acts as a load when training the facial muscles. When the compressive force applied to the coil spring 7 is released, the training device 1 returns to the unused state due to the repulsive force. Further, a stopper receiving portion 8 for preventing the male slider 3 from falling off is provided at the tip of the tubular portion 5. The mouth edge receiving section 6 is composed of an outer side receiving section 6a and a larger inside mouth receiving section 6b, and one mouth edge 9 (upper lip end and By accepting the vicinity of the boundary of the lower lip end), the female slider 2 is applied to the rim 9 at the time of use.

The male slider 3 is composed of a rod-shaped portion 10 and a lip receiving portion 11 formed at the base end thereof. This mouth edge receiving portion 11 is provided with an outer mouth receiving portion 11a and an inner mouth receiving portion 11b similarly to the edge receiving portion 6 of the female slider 2, and the other portion is provided between the outer outer receiving portion 11a and the inner mouth receiving portion 11b. It is applied to the rim 12. The rod-shaped portion 10 is inserted into the tubular portion 5 of the female slider 2 and performs a relative sliding operation with the tubular portion 5. A stopper 13 is formed at the other end of the rod-shaped portion 10 (see FIG. 2), and the stopper 13 contacts the stopper receiving portion 8 when the training device 1 is not used, so that the male slider 3 and The female slider 2 does not come off.

Polyethylene resin is used as the material of the male slider 3 and the female slider 2, but other known synthetic resins such as polypropylene or ABS resin may be used. However, it is preferable that antibacterial treatment is performed in advance in consideration of the use of the training device 1.

When assembling the training device 1, the tubular portion 5 of the female slider 2 is divided into two parts, and the coil spring 7 and the tip end portion of the male slider 3 are arranged together with the stopper 13 inside the tubular part 5. The divided tubular portions 5 may be combined into one and welded by known ultrasonic welding to be integrally molded. At this time, the coil spring 7 may be installed in a compressed state by applying a certain amount of load, or may be installed in a state in which the coil spring 7 is not compressed and is not compressed.

When using the training device 1 described above, first, the mouth edge receiving portions 6 and 11 of the training device 1 are held against the rim. As shown in FIG. 3, in this state, the mouth is spread laterally, for example, the state is similar to the opening of the lips that pronounce “A” and “E”. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, when the lips are moved so as to pronounce "U" or "O", the male slider 3 and the female slider 2 which receive the repulsive force of the coil spring 7 are received. And relatively slide. During this time, the repulsive force is transmitted to the facial muscles via the rims 9 and 12 on both sides and acts as a load on the facial muscles. By repeating such a series of actions, the facial muscles can be maintained and strengthened. In addition, the training effect is high when the size of the training device 1 to be used is a slightly larger device in which the mouth spreads laterally at the time of wearing.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the facial muscle training apparatus according to the present invention has an effect that the facial muscles can be easily maintained and strengthened.
