Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide an awaking apparatus adaptable in all scenes and situations by eliminating harm of a sound to the periphery by the awaking apparatus. CONSTITUTION: A light emitting body 2 such as a light emitting diode and an electric lamp is installed in a part 1 to cover eyes of an eye mask, and is connected to a light emitting body control device 8 enclosing a timekeeper or a timer, and when it is set so that an electric current flows to the light emitting body when waking expected time reaches, an awaking effect is produced. At that time, in order to further secure the effect, it is used by changing intensity of the light of the light emitting body or by flashing the light.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an eye mask, which is provided with an illuminator for blocking the light to provide a good night's sleep when going to sleep. Depending on the strength and the adjustment of the blinking pattern, it is expected to exert its power in terms of eye fatigue recovery and mental stability.

2. Description of the Related Art Up to the present, as alarm devices up to the present time, an alarm clock that informs the wake-up time by a bell or voice, a radio with a timer that notifies the wake-up time by music, a cassette recorder, etc. have been known mainly as audible alarm devices by sound. Has been.

Although an eye mask, which is a travel item, is well known in the world, no one has the function of an alarm device.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional wake-up by sound, the effect of the sound is not exerted on the surrounding people, and it is difficult for the person to wake up alone. In such a society, it becomes necessary and necessary to block the influence of sound on the surroundings, and conventional alarm devices cannot fully meet the demand. It often made people around me uncomfortable.

Further, while the eye mask is used in various places, there is no such tendency in the wake-up device, and the sound damage as described above and the embarrassment to worry about the surrounding eyes are caused. As a result, the place of use was limited to homes and indoors.

Since the eye mask and the wake-up device are independent of each other, it is sometimes inconvenient when both are used together.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the main object of the present invention is to keep up with the irregular life.
It is to provide an alarm device that can be adapted to all situations and situations.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problem] A light emitting diode, a light bulb or the like is attached to a portion of the eye mask which covers the eyes, and is connected to a light emitting body control device having a built-in clock or a timer to emit light at a desired time to wake up. By setting the body so that current can flow, it is possible to wake up without affecting others.

At that time, in order to increase the effect, it is desirable to change the intensity and color of light of the light emitting body, or to make the light blink to be used.

[0010]

[Function] The light emitted from the luminescent material passes through the eyelids and is transmitted to the retina, which excites photoreceptor cells centered on rod cells to stimulate the cerebrum and produces the effect of waking up.

At that time, if the intensity of light is changed or the light is blinked, the dilated pupillary muscle and pupillary sphincter muscle repeat relaxation and contraction, and the excitement of photoreceptor cells centered on rod cells also increases. , Changing the color of light excites the photoreceptor cells centering on the pyramidal cells, and the effect can be further enhanced.

The use of a light bulb as the light emitter transfers heat to the skin of the eyelids and the eyeballs, which also results in effectiveness. However, light emitting diodes are considered to be desirable in view of the dangers of light bulb rupture and excessive heat transfer, and waste of power consumption.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIGS. 1 and 2, a depression 1 corresponds to a portion that covers an eye and has a shape obtained by halving an elliptical sphere. Although not shown in the figure, the light can be amplified by attaching a paint, a label, or the like that reflects the light of the light emitting body 2 to the depression 1. At this time, if it is possible to play the role of the label 12 that blocks the leakage of light to the outside, the label 12 becomes unnecessary and the efficiency is improved. The light-emitting body 2 uses a light-emitting diode for changing the light intensity or blinking the light for the reason described in the operation, thereby improving the efficacy and saving the power consumption. It is not bad to change the color of light, but it is not practical because it costs money. Assuming that the light emitting body 2 is a light emitting diode, it is desirable that the convex lens-shaped portion of the light emitting diode 2 faces the eyes, and the conducting wire 4 extends from the side surface of the light emitting body 2. Since the amount of light reaching the retina increases as the distance between the light-emitting body 2 and the back surface material 11 decreases, the light-emitting element 2 and the back surface material 11 are in contact with each other or at a distance closer thereto. The sponge 3 has a thickness of about 5 mm, is more elastic than the conventional sponge, has a blackish color, and hardly transmits light. The conductive wire 4 is made as thin and soft as possible, and is cut into the sponge 3 to be housed in the thickness of the sponge 3. Connection plug 5
Is a light eye mask side, and the connection plug 6 is a connection plug on the side of the light emitter control device. The connection plug can be disconnected here, and the size is as small and thin as possible.
The cord 7 has one conductor for two wires for easy handling.
Summarized in a book. The light-emitter control device 8 has a built-in clock or timer, and has a mechanism in which a current flows through the light-emitter when it is time to wake up. A circuit that changes the intensity of light and blinks the light is also built into this.

The connection plug 9 is provided to connect with the connection plug 6 so that the cord 7 does not hinder the person from turning over when lying down on a futon, bed or the like. This is unnecessary when the light eye mask is used while sitting on a chair or the like, and it seems that most people do not need it. The conductor 10 is made of the same material as the conductor 4 and has a connection plug 9
Wire when installing.

Since the effect of the light eye mask varies depending on the depth of sleep at that time and individual differences, the alarm of the conventional alarm device is incorporated into the light emitter control device 8 and after a few minutes have elapsed since the light emitter 2 started to illuminate. If you do not wake up, you may want to activate the alarm.

In FIG. 2, the back surface material 11 is made of a material that allows light to easily pass therethrough, but the inside of the light eye mask is made as invisible as possible. As the front cloth 13, a conventional cloth or a cloth that is harder to let light through than that is used. As described above, the label 12 has a function of blocking light leakage to the outside, but it need not be attached unless there is a risk of light leakage to the outside.

[0017]

As a result of the present invention, the harm of sound to the surroundings caused by the alarm device is eliminated, and the alarm device can be used even in a place where silence must be maintained, or in an extreme example, a library. Moreover, since the appearance is excellent, the shame of worrying about the surrounding eyes is eliminated, and the use of the alarm device can be permeated in every society, such as in a train or in the office of a company.

Further, depending on how the luminous body shines, it will be useful in terms of eye fatigue recovery and mental stability.
