Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an abdominal breathing exercise device that makes it easy to learn abdominal breathing.

When teaching singing, whether in the East or the West, regardless of the genre of music, the breathing method known as abdominal breathing has been used. Abdominal breathing is the only way to obtain a beautiful singing voice with a rich volume, and abdominal breathing is a breathing technique that anyone learning to sing must master. In addition to singing, abdominal breathing is a necessary breathing method for actors, announcers, etc. in order to achieve a rich, beautiful, smooth voice, and is also used in dance, dance, sports, martial arts, etc. This is a breathing method that must be mastered in order to perform smoothly, and is also required for players of musical instruments that use breath, such as wind instruments.

Furthermore, abdominal breathing is a breathing method that calms irregular breathing, stabilizes the mind, and can also be used to correct stuttering.

So, when and what kind of breathing is this abdominal breathing? Traditionally, the way to teach this to others is to say things like ``Breathe into your belly,'' ``Speak from your belly,'' or ``Inflate your diaphragm.'' The teaching method was to ``breathe without moving your chest,'' and there was no concrete way to confirm that this was abdominal breathing, so it was very vague and difficult for beginners to understand. It's difficult.

Therefore, the inventor of this invention focused on the method of confirming abdominal breathing by exhaling the breath during breathing, and when exhaling through abdominal breathing into a transparent plastic board held close to the front of the mouth, the result was transparent. A large cloudy surface appeared on the plastic board, and when I exhaled through chest breathing, almost no cloudy surface appeared on the transparent plastic board. This led to the identification of abdominal breathing and thoracic breathing, which led to the development of this device. That is, the purpose of this invention is to provide an abdominal breathing exercise device that can distinguish between abdominal breathing and thoracic breathing based on the breath exhaled and allows easy confirmation of abdominal breathing. A breath-blowing plate body formed into an appropriate shape from a board material that allows confirmation of breathing is attached to a head-wearing body formed roughly in the shape of a hat. The lower edge of the chin is located close to the jaw and located on the face.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a head covering that is generally shaped like a hat, and on both sides of the head covering 1, when the head covering 1 is attached to the head, the tip thereof is attached to the chin. Attachment pieces 2 and 3 are formed so as to be located near the section.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a breath blowing plate body formed in a slightly curved shape, and this breath blowing plate body 4 is formed of a transparent plastic plate material or other plate material that shows a cloudy surface when breath is blown, that is, allows confirmation of breathing. Both ends 5 and 6 of the lower edge of this breath plate 4
mounting pieces 2 formed on both sides of the head attaching body 1;
3 is rotatably provided at the tip of the breather plate 4, and when the head cover 1 is attached to the head, the lower edge of the breather plate 4 approaches the chin and is positioned on the face. be.

Note that the means for providing the breather plate 4 to the head cover 1 is not limited to the structure shown in the above embodiment.

This device has the above-mentioned structure, and when it is used, the head covering 1 is placed on the head as shown in FIG. 2.

Thus, the lower edge of the breather plate 4 provided on the head cover 1 is located on the face close to the chin just below the mouth. Then, the breath blowing plate 4 is rotated so that its upper end edge is slightly lifted upward, so that it is tilted relative to the face.

In this state, when you exhale toward the plate surface of the breath blowing plate 4, in the case of abdominal breathing, a large cloudy surface 7 appears on the plate surface of the breath blowing plate 4, as shown in FIG. In the case of thoracic breathing, almost no cloudy surface appears on the plate surface, and by looking at this, it is possible to distinguish and confirm whether the current breathing is abdominal breathing or thoracic breathing.

As described above, according to this invention, a breath-blowing plate body formed in an appropriate shape from a plate material that allows confirmation of breathing is attached to a head cover body formed roughly in the shape of a hat. Since the lower edge of the breath plate is placed on the face when attached, the head cover is attached to the head and the head cover is removed. Place the breath-blowing plate attached to the body on your face, exhale into the face of the breath-blowing plate, and by looking at the cloudy surface that appears on the plate at this time, you can determine that your breathing is due to abdominal breathing. The person can easily check whether they are breathing from the chest or from the chest, and by practicing vocalization and breathing while checking this, they can easily and quickly master abdominal breathing. Moreover, it is easy to handle and does not interfere with movement, so for example, while performing,
In addition, it is extremely convenient as an abdominal breathing exercise device, as it allows one to practice abdominal breathing while dancing, and furthermore, it has excellent effects such as being simple in construction and easy to manufacture.
