Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a snoring prevention device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 One of the causes of snoring is to sleep with your mouth open.To prevent this, for example, use adhesive tape to stop the bandage or use a bandage to stick to the wound, such as a finger, so that the mouth does not open too much. There was a way to sleep.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In the snoring prevention method described above, adhesive tape to stop the opening of the mouth is replaced with adhesive tape that stops the bandage, which is not the intended use, or adhesive bandage that is attached to the wound such as a finger. It was necessary and time-consuming to attach, and it was easily peeled off, preventing continued snoring and preventing snoring. In addition, there was a problem that it was difficult to breathe through the mouth if it tried to restrict the opening of the mouth, which hindered sleep.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and a purpose thereof is to provide a snoring prevention device that can be easily attached to the mouth of the face to reliably control the opening of the mouth. Provide tools. It also provides a snoring prevention device that can reliably control the degree of opening of the mouth, can breathe normally, and does not hinder sleep.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The snoring prevention device of the present invention for achieving the above object is constituted by a snoring prevention adhesive tape which is attached to the mouth of the face and regulates the degree of opening of the mouth, so that only one adhesive tape is required. It can be easily pasted and does not peel off easily, and it can surely prevent sleeping with the mouth open, which is the cause of snoring. That is, it is easy to handle and can surely prevent snoring.

As the tape material of the adhesive tape, there can be used an adhesive tape for stopping an existing bandage, such as paper, cloth, nonwoven fabric, and vinyl, or a tape material similar to an adhesive bandage applied to a wound such as a finger. As a guide for selecting the tape material, it is preferable to use a material which has a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility which can be easily applied to the skin and can conform to the unevenness of the mouth, since it is directly applied to the skin similarly to the existing bandage. A material having air permeability is also preferable. Further, a material having high processability is also preferable. The adhesive applied to the tape material should be harmless to the human body.

If the tape material of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is not air-permeable, or if it has only air-permeability enough to allow skin respiration and make mouth-breathing difficult, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape has a Open a hole. In this case, it is preferable to open the hole at a position corresponding to the center of the left and right joints of the upper lip and the lower lip, so that the mouth can be breathed normally while the snoring prevention effect is obtained with almost no opening of the mouth. The hole may be formed by arranging one or several large holes, or a large number of small holes may be formed within a predetermined range, and this portion may be formed in a mesh shape.

If the tape material of the adhesive tape is, for example, a cloth having a relatively coarse stitch and is breathable, and if the breathability allows normal breathing, a hole for mouth breathing is opened in the adhesive tape. do not have to.

It is preferable to apply gauze to a portion of the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape which touches the lips, since the adhesive tape can be easily peeled off without damaging the lips. In addition, it is preferable that the gauze contains a flavor such as a flower or a fruit, because a sleep effect can be obtained by the same action as aromatherapy, and the commercial value can be improved.

[0010] The gauze itself has breathability. However, when the gauze has only breathability enough to allow skin respiration due to the roughness of the eyes and difficulty breathing through the mouth, the gauze also has breathability. In the case where the mouth can be opened and the mouth can be breathed normally by breathability, the hole need not be opened.

The shape of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape may be a simple shape such as a quadrangle (polygon), an X-shape, or a horizontally long ellipse, or an appropriately designed shape. Further, for example, it is preferable to produce the adhesive tape having a different shape and size for each gender and age, or to draw a pattern or the like on the surface of the adhesive tape, since the commercial value can be improved.

[0012] A release paper is attached to the entire surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape in the same manner as an existing bandage, and the release paper is peeled off before use.
