TWI722961B - Inhale resistance adjustable stuff-in type breath training device - Google Patents

Abstract

An inhale resistance adjustable stuff-in type breath training device includes a main body, an elastic inlet valve, and a unidirectional inlet valve. The main body defines a central axis, with a first guidance portion and a second guidance portion disposed on two ends of the central axis, respectively. The first guidance portion has an inlet bore passing therethrough. The second guidance portion has a fluid channel in communication with the inlet bore, so that the second guidance forms an opening toward the nasal cavity of the user. During an inhale process, the elastic inlet valve elastically obstructs the airflow which flows into the inlet bore, and the airflow passes through the inlet bore, whereby the unidirectional inlet valve expands to open, and the airflow is guided from the fluid channel toward the opening to enter the nasal cavity. Therefore, the elastic inlet valve adjusts the inhale resistance according to the inhaling depth of the user, slowing down the inhale.
