JPH11192251A - Preventive method and preventive device of snore - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new snore preventive method and preventive device. SOLUTION: This snore preventive method is to prevent mouth breathing by inserting a contracted device into a nasal cavity and expanding the device with the body temperature in the nasal cavity to smooth air passage through the nasal cavity. The snore preventing device 1 contracts at room temperature of 17-25 deg.C, and expands at the body temperature of 34-40 deg.C in the nasal cavity to prevent snore by inserting the device made of a shape memory material of metal, synthetic resin, or fiber, keeping the nasal cavity in an expanded form.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and a device for preventing irritations, which are inserted into the nasal cavities and open to widen the nasal cavities to prevent irritations.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Many causes of ibis are caused by breathing in the mouth. Therefore, as a device for preventing squid, there is a mask that tightly secures the mouth with something like a string from the forehead to the chin and closes the mouth. Alternatively, the body is stimulated by a mechanical or electric method by sensing the sound of the body, changing the state of the body causing the body to close the mouth, and stopping the body.

[0003]

A mouth-closing mask cannot be used because it gives a strange feeling to others in the room when traveling. Also, a device that senses the sound of ibiki and stimulates the body by mechanical or electrical means to change the state of the body that produces ibiki, closes the mouth, and stops the iki, etc. There is a disadvantage that it does not work unless it occurs, and the operation of the device awakes,
After that, you may not be able to sleep. Furthermore, there are drawbacks such as operation by sensing the ikibiki of another person who stayed on a trip or the like, and a method of ikibiki having no such drawbacks and a device therefor have been desired.

[0004]

In the case of obese and elderly people, the mucous membrane inside the nose is loosened, or if you drink alcohol, the blood vessels expand with alcohol, and the nasal mucosa expands, narrowing the nasal passages and obstructing the passage of air. Make it worse. Therefore, in order to breathe in the mouth, the folds of the soft mucous membrane at the back of the throat often vibrate and irritate. The present invention inserts a reduced instrument into the nasal cavity to prevent narrowing of the nasal cavity from sagging of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity to improve airflow and prevent snorting by preventing mouth breathing. It is a method of expanding the device by the body temperature in the nasal cavity to improve the passage of air in the nasal cavity, prevent mouth breathing and prevent irritations. , 34
At -40 ° C, a device made of a shape memory material such as a metal, a synthetic resin, or a fiber that keeps a shape that expands and spreads the nasal cavity is inserted into the nasal cavity to prevent irritations.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0006]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
FIG. 1 shows a state in which the appliance 1 for preventing irritations is expanded at a temperature of 34 to 40 ° C. To the ring 2 at the base end, the ends of several thin wires made of stainless steel or the like or the ridgeline 3 of the thin slope formed according to the shape of the nasal cavity are bent, or fixed by welding, bonding, or the like. An arbitrary position of the ridge 3, which is three places in FIG. 1, is formed in a conical shape by welding, bonding or the like. The hoop 4 is made of a titanium-nickel-based or copper-zinc-based shape memory alloy, has a martensitic transformation initiation point (MS) of 34 to 40 ° C, and as shown in FIG. 2 at a room temperature of 17 to 25 ° C. In FIG. 1, the ridge 3 is widened at a body temperature of 34 to 40 ° C. in the nasal cavity.

The ring 2 and the ridge line 3 may be made of a shape memory alloy in the same manner as the hoop 4.

[0008] Although not shown, the hoop 4 is formed into a coil shape, and one end is fixed to the ring 2 and the other end is fixed to the ridge line 3, so that the diameter of the coil is reduced at 17 to 25 ° C. The ridgeline 3 may be reduced by following the coil with its own elasticity, and the diameter of the coil may be increased at 34 to 40 ° C.

Although not shown, the ring 2 and the ridge line 3 are omitted, and a shape memory alloy is wound in a coil shape to form a conical shape corresponding to the nasal cavity. The body may be expanded at the body temperature.

FIG. 3 shows an instrument 7 made of a shape memory synthetic resin. A wing-shaped material 5 is bundled at a top portion 6 and is a conical instrument 7 having the other end opened. The wing-shaped material 5 has a large number of fine ventilation holes 8. Examples of the shape-memory synthetic resin include norbornene-based polymers, polyisoprene-based polymers, polyurethane-based polymers, styreceptadiene copolymers, copolymers with aromatic vinyl monomers, unsaturated nitrile monomers, and acrylate monomers, and polycaprolactone. A cross-linked molded article using a resin and a polyvinyl chloride resin can be used.

An instrument 9 having a conical hoop shown in FIG.
The shape memory synthetic resin is a fiber, and the fiber is knitted and molded.

Although not shown, a protrusion such as a flange may be provided on the ring 2, the top 6 or the like to prevent the instruments 1, 7, 9 from entering the nasal cavity. Also, for example, a pair of appliances 1
The ring 2 may be connected by a connecting member (not shown) so that the device 1 does not enter the nasal cavity, and the device 1 may be reduced by cooling the connecting member.

[0013] How to use the appliances 1, 7, 9 before going to bed
Instruments 1, 7, which have been softened and reduced in water beforehand
When the device 9 is gently inserted into the nasal cavity, the devices 1, 7, 9 are warmed to body temperature and expand to the shape of the nasal cavity stored in advance. When taking off, wash your face with cold water and scoop water with both hands, cool down the nose column for a while to reduce instruments 1, 7, 9 or accelerate breathing and cool with air to distribute,
Removal is performed smoothly by reducing the size of 7,9.

[0014]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The anti-birch device of the present invention is softened and contracted by dipping it in water before going to bed, and it is gently inserted into the nasal cavity. The shape can be expanded to improve the air flow, prevent breathing in the mouth, and prevent snorting. When removing the instrument, wash the face with cold water and scrub with both hands to cool down the nose column for a while, or accelerate the breathing to cool down the instruments 1, 7, and 9 with the flowing air to reduce the instrument. By reducing the size, removal can be performed smoothly. in this way,
It was extremely easy to handle, and provided an excellent method and apparatus for preventing pruritus, whose use condition was unknown to others, at low cost.
