Abstract
A device for the treatment of the cavities in the respiratory passages generates acoustic vibrations, which resonate in the cavities of the respiratory passages and provide a treating action. The most important parts of the device are the signal source (2), which generates the vibration signals, and an acoustic vibrator (1), which directs the vibrations into the cavities (3) of the respiratory passages. The treating action of the device is based on the fact that resonating acoustic vibrations loosen mucus and other sectretions (5), massage the mucus membranes (6) and stimulate their circulation, facilitating the draining of mucus and other secretion through natural ducts (4) into the throat and relaxing the muscles connected to the cavities.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS
| received by the International Bureau on 1 November 1994 (01.11.94); original claims 2, 4-8, 10- 13 and 15 deleted; remaining claims amended and renumbered as claims 1 -4 ( 1 page)]
l.A device generating acoustic vibrations in cavities (3) of the respiratory passages, characterized in that vibration frequencies are generated by a signal source (2) emitting a vibration signal and included in the device, the signal source being connected to an acoustic vibrator (1) , which is directed to a cavity or cavities, the vibrations thus providing a curing action in the cavities (3) .
2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the vibrator (1) is connected to the signal source (2) and has been designed such that acoustic vibrations generated with the signal source (2) can be directed to the cavities (3) of the respiratory passages through the mouth or the nostrils.
3. Device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the device comprises a microphone (8) and a filter (5) connected to the microphone, and thus an echo signal reflected from the cavities (3) and detected with the microphone (8) can be directed through the filter (9) , whose pass band (10) can be selected by finding the local maximum (11) in the amplitude of the filtered signal.
4. Device according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that an instrument improving the treatment effects is integrated in the device or is available as an accessory, such as a vapor breathing device or a dosage device for antihistamine or any other medication.
