The present invention relates to a mouthpiece guard or a sprint that is bitten or worn by a sports or leisure mouth as described above, and more particularly, when the intense exercise or punch, such as a martial art or a ball, is in contact with the face or mouth. Silver nano (120) powder (Nano silver) or nano silver solution (Ag), which is a powerful antibacterial and bactericidal material for the mouthpiece made of synthetic resin, rubber, silicone, and latex to prevent injuries The antimicrobial mouse path 20 can be sanitized and clean by disinfecting the bacteria in the mouthpiece by mixing a predetermined amount 160 or coating 180 on the material of the mouthpiece.

 Wearing the mouthpiece on the upper teeth for recreation or sports is to protect the teeth. One of the main purposes is to protect the teeth. The mouthpiece fills the space between the upper teeth and the lower teeth so that the brain shakes when it is impacted. By minimizing this, the mouse piece even protects the brain.

Particularly, the mouthpiece must be clamped into the mouth every round, and it is used in both professional and amateur boxing, and it is a deduction factor when spitting or subtracting it in amateur games.

Nowadays, it is often used as a pitcher or batter in baseball games, and a similar sprint is used to correct the jaw joints as well as to protect the teeth and the mouth. It can bite and exert more force than usual.

 The mouthpiece improves concentration in sports, leisure, and fitness, and enhances strength and endurance during momentary movements (= biting molar teeth) and damages internal teeth, gums, lips, etc. from external shocks. It protects brain damage from shocks delivered to the jaw and the brain by fixing the lower jaw, the jaw joint, the upper and lower facial bones, and the connection between the jaw and the brain.

Recently, the American Oral and Maxillofacial Dental Association recommends that mouth guards are more essential than helmets and guards. The effectiveness of mouth guards is known to be excellent, and foreign countries tend to require them for use in various sports. The sports we recommend to wear are as follows.

* Sports that require concentration and strength at the moment, such as baseball, horseback riding, weightlifting, cycling, and golf.

Sports that enjoy speed, such as inline skating, wheeled shoes, microphones, bicycles, and quick boards.

* Sports are concerned about collision between players such as American football, rugby, ice hockey, basketball and soccer.

Sports that may be injured by hits by objects such as tennis and squash.

* Taekwondo, judo, karate, wushu, kendo, martial arts, wrestling, boxing, mixed martial arts sports.

Leisure sports such as LaCrosse, Rodeo, Motocross, Rock Climbing, Lifting and Jet Ski.

-It is highly recommended to be worn in all leisure and sports requiring the protection of jaw, teeth and brain from other impacts.

In order to help the understanding of the present invention will be described in detail the silver and silver nano 120 of the material of the present invention.

  Silver, the main component of silver nano 120, has been recognized as a precious metal of high value from ancient times, and has been the object of extraction. It is not only valued as a currency but also attracted attention as an important industrial material in modern industry. It is proportional to the production of gold. Silver was mined early in Europe's Mediterranean coast, where silver was produced from the Incas and Aztecs before the discovery of the Americas, and then silver from Peru and Bolivia was introduced into Europe, and the flow of silver was from 1520 to 1800.

It has grown steadily, but has declined since the discovery of large amounts of silver in the early 19th century. Currently, the world's major silver producers are Russia (13.8%), Canada (13.5%), Mexico (13%), Peru (13%), United States (11%), Australia (8%), Poland (6%). The country's silver reserves are 17 million tons, and its reserves are about 9.2 million tons. As of 2002, the amount of silver produced in our country is about 5,000 kg, which is 1.2% of the total domestic demand. It's a very small amount.

Characteristics of silver: The color of silver is gray in the case of elegant gray-white metal or powder, specific gravity is 10-12, Mohs hardness is 2.5-3, and melting (80) point is 960.5 ℃.

In particular, the melting point of silver (80) is very important for temperature compensation of high thermometers, which is the standard of scientific and industrial temperature, and silver is the best conductor of metal, and is used comprehensively for contacts and other electronics. Optically, the reflectance of visible light is 90%, which is one of the most excellent metals such as platinum, and pure silver does not form rust even when left in the air or heated, but it reacts with sulfur and hydrogen to make black emulsified silver. Therefore, the film of the camera, etc. should be particularly careful.

     In addition, the mechanical properties change according to the amount of impurities (O₂) contained in the silver, and the hardness of the high-purity silver obtained by thermal annealing is Brinell hardness HBS (10/500) 25-27, tensile strength 12-16kgf / mm2. The cast material had a tensile strength of up to about 29 kgf / mm 2, a burn rate of 48 to 54%, and a recrystallization temperature of 150 ° C.

    In particular, in the case of pure silver, the processed hardened material is softened by recrystallization at normal room temperature and softened softly. The malleability and flexibility are rich after gold.

     The effect of silver has been used as a tool to check the imbalance of the body that one cannot feel because the gloss or color changes depending on the condition of the body when worn on the body from ancient times. Fatigue or low rhythm) and Dongbobom said that it is effective in the prevention and treatment of mental disorders and gynecological diseases such as epilepsy and game, and it also acted as a herbal medicine powdered silver. The five chapters are comfortable, the mind and body are stable, and the main body writes that it prolongs morale by lightening the body and lengthening the body.

      Also, when the Black Plague prevailed in the Middle Ages, nobility of the black aristocrats and royals, who had many silverware and silver utensils, did not have black plague, which released silver to the extent that it was able to sterilize the Black Plague bacteria, making it relatively safe from infectious diseases. In the place where the royal family and the state guests were served, silver products were used habitually.

In order to help the understanding of the silver nano 120, a brief description of the silver nano 120 (Nano silver) extraction method and features of the present invention are as follows.

The atomic weight of silver is 107.87 amu and the fact that silver (Ag) is bactericidal has been known for a long time. Silver nano 120 was first developed by a biotechnology company, a government-affiliated organization in our country, and was named silver nano 120 as a compound of the brand name Na no-technology and silver. ;

  Silver nano 120 is a field of Nano-technology, which is an advanced antimicrobial agent that utilizes silver's strong antibacterial and sterilization function and electromagnetic shielding mechanism. Silver nano (120) is unlike the traditional antibiotics, bacteria are not resistant to the silver nano 120 has been confirmed to sterilize almost all single cell germs on the ground in a short time.

 Currently, a variety of products based on silver nano120 consisting of powder and solution have been invented and commercialized and produced in real life. This technology, called silver nano120, converts silver to nanometers (1 billion won). It is a small particle size of 1m / min), that is, 0,000000001m. If one gram of silver is aged, ten particles can be produced.

Therefore, silver (Age) in the form of ultra-fine particles aging silver nano (120) is a new concept produced by utilizing the excellent efficacy, such as antibacterial deodorization zone, extending the preservation time of food among the many characteristics of silver.

 Since ancient times, silver has been recognized as a material that not only prevents germs but also disinfects both East and West. Currently, the extraction method of silver nano 120 is used to inject silver (Age 99.9%) into distilled water and generate low current at low temperature. It is possible to collect silver (Age 99.9%) after electrolyzing compound containing silver by conducting electrophoresis using + and-poles of each molecule and other physical methods such as liquid reduction method and grinding. In order to obtain a stable silver nano (Nano silver) it is often used a lot of the conventional electrolysis method as follows. Looking at the known well-known manufacturing methods of the various forms of the silver nano 120 as follows .

The manufacturing method of silver nano 120 is currently being released in a wide variety of ways, and good methods are being developed and developed one after another. Conventional nano powder manufacturing methods can be divided into gas phase manufacturing method, liquid phase manufacturing method and mechanical manufacturing method. Gas condensation condensation and gas phase reduction, and mechanical grinding using mechanical force.

The uniformity of the particle size of the prepared powder is good and can produce particles of high purity, and the advantages and disadvantages of preventing the agglomeration of the particles have the disadvantage that the experimental equipment is expensive.

In addition, the manufacturing method using the liquid phase is capable of producing a uniform powder than the manufacturing method using the gas phase, and also has the advantage of manufacturing the powder at a low device cost, but the tendency of aggregation of the individual particles is very strong and the shape of the particles is somewhat irregular The disadvantage is that.

Next, there is a systematic method, a manufacturing method, there is a problem in the mixing of impurities generated in the manufacturing process and has a disadvantage of severe aggregation phenomenon, while there is an advantage that can easily mix (160) several components,

In the present invention, the silver nano 120 is not produced according to the manufacturing method of the silver nano 120, and the conventional silver nano 120 produced through the various types of silver nano 120 manufacturing methods described above is applied to the mouse. It is a feature of the present invention to create a piece.

Silver ions are also used in general sterilization concept machines and disinfectants, and all silver products currently used are silver obtained by decomposition, and the addition amount is very small. The sterilization power of silver varies depending on the product, but a maximum of 99% can be obtained.

 The silver nano 120 of the present invention is ultrafine particles of silver having a particle diameter of 0.1 to 50 nm, which directly acts on harmful bacteria, directly dissolves the cell membranes of harmful bacteria, and interferes with the electron transfer system of the harmful bacteria, thereby making it safe. Has excellent antibacterial and antibacterial properties (99.9%).

(For reference, the virus size is about 10 nm.)

     The main antimicrobial mechanism of silver nano 120 is to dissolve harmful bacteria cell membranes and work with enzymes in the cells to block the metabolic function of nutrients, that is, the influx and discharge of nutrients, and to stop the respiratory function and production of harmful bacteria, thus stopping the growth of harmful bacteria. And destroys regenerating ability to kill harmful bacteria.

     In addition, since the silver nano 120 continuously controls the harmful bacteria by releasing antimicrobial power from the fine particles, the antimicrobial / bacterial function has excellent sustainability.

Therefore, silver nano 120 does not produce resistance and silver nano 120 has a surface reaction to have an effect, and kills 99% of all bacteria, and is particularly effective for food poisoning acting on E. coli or food.

   The smaller the nanoparticles, the better the bactericidal and antimicrobial activity. Based on the experimental data so far, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Vibrio, Heterogeneous, Pneumonia, Typhoid, and the most resistant MRSA Up to 99.9% antibacterial and antiseptic.

     In addition, unlike the general chemical antimicrobial agent or chlorine disinfectant, silver nano 120 is an ultrafine particle of pure silver. It is reported that the bacteria can not live in contact with the silver nano 120 for more than 5 minutes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, in describing each of the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to refer to the same components even though they are shown in different drawings.

Brief description of the drawings of the antimicrobial mouthpiece of the present invention for achieving the above object is as follows.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be briefly described.

Figure 2 is another actual picture of the silver nano-containing mouthpiece of the present invention is a photograph showing the appearance of a mouthpiece made of various colors.

FIG. 3 is a mixed block diagram of a mouthpiece containing silver nanoparticles of the present invention, and a powder in the form of nano silver 120 or the powder is diluted in a mouthpiece made of any one of synthetic resin, rubber, and silicon. One silver nano (120) solution is added to the container 300 to heat the mixture (200) to 0.1 to 5% by weight based on the total weight of the mouthpiece body melted 240 or melted 220 and softened it The block diagram shows that the silver nano 120 is added at the above ratio to the stirring 280 and the injection to the molding module 340 to be completed 380 through the slow cooling process after the injection 320. .

 4 is a coating block diagram of a silver piece containing a silver nanoparticle of the present invention, the silver nano 120 (Nano silver) form of the present invention or a silver nano 120 solution diluted with the powder of the mouthpiece As a block diagram of the coating 180 process by any of the methods of dry or wet coating, including deposition, lamination, thin film, deposition, plating, spraying, 200 to a thickness of 0.1 to 50 μm (micro) on the surface. Same as

The present invention follows the conventional coating 180 method and there are many types and methods of the coating 180 can not list all of the preferred embodiments of the first embodiment of the method of plating silver nano is divided into electroplating and electroless plating Electrolytic plating uses electric current and electroless plating is literally plated through chemical reactions without using electricity. In other words, plating means that metal ions receive electrons and are reduced to stick to a specific surface. Plating is most commonly plated using electricity from the rectifier.

 However, in places where electricity does not pass, such as synthetic resins, rubber, and silicones, which cannot provide electricity to the substrate, the metal cannot be plated by plating on it. The sieve is plated.

There are two methods of electroless plating, one of which is ① reduction plating ② substitution plating method. The reduction plating method is a plating method in which metal is precipitated through reduction reaction. It washes oily or dirty substances on the surface of synthetic resin. Activates the substrate surface to "+" state. When controlling, the surfactant component is used.

1) Catalyst: Colloidal component of Palladium is attached to the surface of "+" activated synthetic resin.

2) Accelerator: (Palladium) It removes Sn (Tin) which is contained in Palladium colloid and protects Pd and makes Pd Metal precipitate on the surface of synthetic resin.

3) Electroless chemical plating: copper ions, ethylenethiamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), formaldehyde components, Pd acts as a catalyst when Na OH raises the pH above 11 Formaldehyde undergoes a powerful reducing action, at which time electrons are generated and these electrons flow into the copper ions, whereby copper ions are deposited on the Pd catalyst to be applied.

The second substitution plating is as follows.

Substitution plating method is caused by the difference of oxidation / reduction power. Representative materials of substitution plating are Ni / Au, Ag plating, and Ni is electrodeposited on the metal surface using the same method as electroless chemical copper plating method.

 Then, when immersed in a solution containing silver ions, the silver ions are inherently stronger than nickel, so the reducing power is much stronger than that of nickel. It is acidified to become ions, and silver receives electrons from nickel and is reduced to become electrodeposition.

When the electrode is placed in an aqueous solution containing metal ions and a current is passed through it, the metal ions are discharged and precipitated from the cathode, and a thin film of metal is formed on the surface of the article placed on the cathode.

Although the purpose of the coating 180 is to beautifully finish the appearance of the article, to increase corrosion resistance, to resist wear and corrosion, and to obtain other necessary surface properties, the present invention provides the antibacterial activity of a mouthpiece to be injected into the oral cavity. And to have a sterilizing power.

 The coating 180 of the silver nano 120 wet coating 180 is coated with a thickness of 0.1 μm to 50 μm (micrometer) and is 0.1 to the entirety of the mouthpiece in weight ratio. 20 wt% is added and the size of the particles of the silver nano120 is to be coated 180 with a particle size of 0.1 to 50nm.

In addition, the embodiment of the silver nano 120 coating 180 has a feature of the present invention because it follows the conventional coating 180 method and used the coating 180 material as the aged silver nano 120 material. will be.

Next, the plasma coating 180, which is a dry plating method of the mouthpiece of the present invention, will be described as follows.

Plasma is a gaseous state that is separated into electrons with positive charges and positively charged ions at high temperatures, and is neutral because it has a high degree of charge separation and the same number of positive and positive charges.

 Since the long-acting Coulomb force acts between charges, it is characterized by the collective action of the whole moving under the influence of the distant state rather than the local state of the short distance. In 1928, I. Langmuer, USA, first applied the concept of plasma to ionized gases produced during electrical discharges.

  Plasma is derived from the Greek words πλσμα, -ατos, τ, and its original meaning is that it is built and assembled, and as the characteristics of group behavior suggest, it actually deals with plasma. There is a view that Plasma itself is usually behaving arbitrarily rather than easily controlled from the outside, and that the original name is wrong.So, Plasma is the fourth to be followed by solid, liquid, and gas (three states of matter). It is called material state.

As the temperature gradually increases, almost all objects change from solid to liquid and gaseous state, and at tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, the gas is separated into electrons and nuclei and becomes plasma.

Each object that makes up the plasma is electric, so it is very different from neutral gas, has high electric conductivity, and current is limited to the surface, and it flows very little inside. It is easily influenced by directly receiving, but as the charge density increases, the group movement is different from the individual movements, and the self-closing required by nuclear fusion is the use of charges following the magnetic field lines. It is to confine the Plasma there by transforming it properly and confining it to a place in space.

 In the past, plasma research has been conducted in geophysics and astrophysics related to plasma around the earth and celestial bodies, but recently, the development of electromagnetic fluid dynamics (MHD) using the electrical properties of plasma, ion engines of space travel rockets, Research is underway for nuclear fusion research, and it has been a long time since the Department of Plasma was established in the science and engineering fields of Korean universities.

 As such, high temperature and active chemical properties of plasma can be used to give physical and chemical properties different from the body by changing the properties of the synthesis of new materials and the surface of the polymer by providing extreme environments that are difficult to obtain by conventional methods.

Diamond, for example, is an important material not only for jewelry but also for industry because of its high hardness, thermal conductivity, refractive index, and large band gap. Artificial synthesis of diamond was developed by GE company in USA in the 1950s. A high temperature, high pressure method has been used, but in the early 80's it was found in the Soviet Union that diamonds could be obtained in a thin film form from methane gas plasma at low pressures. The field is actively developing.

In addition, the wear-resistant coating of the tool, the decorative coating, it can be made by the dry method through the reactive ion plating, sputtering, thin film method used as a diffusion barrier at the contact point in the manufacture of semiconductor devices.

In addition, if the surface of the polymer is treated with nitrogen or oxygen plasma (Plasma), it can give hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity to the surface of the polymer or improve the antistatic, dichroic, deep color, etc. When contacted with a plasma and biased, a nitride or carburized layer is formed on the surface to improve the hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance of the coating.

Some of the effects that can be obtained by the surface coating 180 and the reforming technique using plasma can be obtained by the conventional wet plating or coating 180 method. However, in consideration of environmental pollution, dryness using plasma can be achieved. The method has many advantages, and the application of thermal plasma enables plasma welding, cutting, processing of plasma materials and thermal spraying, and melting high-melting powder into plasma to solid surface. Coating 180 on (coating) is to significantly increase the heat resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and the like.

 In addition, ultra-fine particles can be manufactured and the particles synthesized using high temperature and high activity of thermal plasma are quenched and synthesized into ultra-fine particles to deposit plasma chemically or physically and to produce a functional film using plasma. The high temperature, high activity of the thermal plasma allows the waste to be decomposed and vitrified.

As such, the plasma coating 180 turns the vacuum chamber 400 into a vacuum, injects argon and other inert gas, and then causes electrical discharge, thereby ionizing the gases introduced into the chamber 400. ) The process of colliding with the target (silver nano plate (target)) and the silver nano 120 atoms are protruded in gaseous state and coated 180 on the plated body (mouse piece 20). The thickness can be controlled in units.

Next, a brief description of the coating 180 process of the mouthpiece 20 using the plasma of the present invention as follows.

 In order to wash the foreign substances on the surface of the finished mouthpiece 20, the mouthpiece 20 is put into a washing tub, a cleaning solution is injected, and a washing machine is used in a manufacturing process of the inside or outside of the mouthpiece 20. After the washing process (420) to wash the impurities attached, the rinsing process (460) and the drying (260) through the drying (260) to evaporate the water and then the mouthpiece (20) to the holder (not shown) After being attached to the chamber 400 in the attached state, the surface of the silver nano 120 is subjected to a surface sterilization process 560 after the sterilization process 560 outside the mouthpiece 20 under plasma.

Next, after the plasma sterilization process (580) and the silver nano (120) primary surface processing (600), the surface adhesion of the mouthpiece 20 coated with the silver nano 120 (180) and the mouse were improved. Plasma secondary surface treatment 620 and reinforcement treatment are performed to increase the strength of the piece 20.

Next, in the plasma coating 180 of the silver nano120 finally by the vacuum macnetron stuffing plasma coating 180 method, the plasma plating coating 180 having a thickness of 0.1 μm to 50 μm (micrometer) is preferable. Finished 380 by plasma coating 180 with a thickness or by adding the silver nano120 material to the material of the mouthpiece 20 to 0.1 to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the mouthpiece 20. The silver nano 120 may be mixed (160) or dried on the surface of the mouthpiece 20, including depositing, laminating, thin film, depositing, plating, and spraying 200 to a thickness of 0.1 to 50 μm (micro). Alternatively, it is also possible to coat 180 by any of the methods of wet coating.

As a result, the mouthpiece 20 mixed 160 or coated 180 with the silver nano120 is completed 380, which is hygienic and effectively used when using the mouthpiece.

Next, the cross-section, side and surface of the silver nano 120 of the present invention are shown in the drawings in the drawings for the understanding of the present invention with an electron microscope, respectively.
