Description

Mittel zur Formgestaltung der menschlichen Nase Means for shaping the human nose
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Mittel zur Formgestaltung der menschlichen Nase gemass Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The present invention relates to a means for shaping the human nose according to the preamble of claim 1.
Kaum emand ist zufrieden mit seinem Ausseren, wobei vorallem die Form der Nase ein Stein des persönlichen Anstosses ist. Trotzdem schrecken viele Menschen vor einem chirurgischen Eingriff zurück. Zum einen ist der Eingriff relativ teuer, zum anderen ist er nicht risikolos, da das Ergebnis nicht unbedingt den Wunschvorstellungen entspricht und/oder Narben zurückbleiben. Nicht zuletzt lasst sich der Eingriff nicht rückgängig machen, das heisst, der Patient kann sich nicht zuerst an die neue Nasenform gewohnen und sich erst an- schliessend definitiv für sein neues Aussehen entscheiden.Hardly anyone is satisfied with their appearance, especially the shape of the nose is a stone of personal impetus. Still, many people shy away from surgery. On the one hand, the intervention is relatively expensive, on the other hand, it is not risk-free, since the result does not necessarily correspond to the wishes and / or scars remain. Last but not least, the procedure cannot be reversed, which means that the patient cannot get used to the new nose shape first and only then can he definitely decide on his new look.
Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Mittel zur Formgestaltung der menschlichen Nase zu schaffen, welches ohne chirurgischen Eingriff einsetzbar und wieder entfernbar ist und die obengenannten Nachteile behebt. Diese Aufgabe lost ein Mittel zur Formgestaltung der mensch¬ lichen Nase mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsformen gehen aus den abhangigen Patentansprüchen hervor.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a means for shaping the human nose which can be used and removed again without surgical intervention and which overcomes the disadvantages mentioned above. This task lost a means of shaping the human nose ¬ union with the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the dependent claims.
Das Mittel zur Formgestaltung der menschlichen Nase, im folgenden Nasenformer genannt, besteht im wesentlichen aus einem elastisch verformbaren Bügel mit verdickten Enden und einem am Rucken des Bugeis angeformten Kamm. Dank dieser einfachen Form lasst sich der Nasenformer auf einfache Art und Weise in die Nasenöffnung einfuhren und wieder herausnehmen. Da er elastisch geformt ist, lasst er sich beim Einfuhren zusammendrucken und in die gewünschte Position innerhalb der Nasen- offnung bringen, wo er auf die Nasenspitze, genauer den grossen Nasenflugelknorpel, und/oder die Nasenflügel wirkt und deren Lage verändert. Konkret bedeutet dies normalerweise, dass die Nasenspitze angehoben, nach vorne gezogen und/oder die Nasenflügel nach aussen gedruckt werden.The means for shaping the shape of the human nose, hereinafter called the nose former, essentially consists of an elastically deformable bracket with thickened ends and a comb molded onto the back of the bow. Thanks to this simple shape, the nose former can be easily inserted into and removed from the nose opening. Since it is elastically shaped, it can be compressed when it is imported and brought into the desired position within the nasal opening, where it acts on the tip of the nose, more precisely the large nasal cartilage, and / or the nostrils and changes their position. In concrete terms, this usually means that the tip of the nose is raised, pulled forward and / or the nostrils are pressed outwards.
Der Trager kann den Nasenformer ohne die Hilfe einer Fachperson verwenden. Da sich der Nasenformer somit jederzeit wieder herausnehmen lasst, kann sich der Anwender langsam an ihn gewohnen oder er kann ihn auch nur zu speziellen Anlassen tragen .The wearer can use the nose former without the help of a professional. Since the nose former can be removed at any time, the user can slowly get used to it or he can only wear it for special occasions.
Vorzugsweise ist der Nasenformer aus Kunststoff hergestellt. In einer einfachsten Ausfuhrungsform besteht der Nasenformer aus einem einzigen Material und ist einstuckig hergestellt. In einer anderen Ausfuhrungsform ist der Kern des Nasenformers aus einem relativ harten, biegefesten Material gefertigt und mit einer weichen H lle umgeben. Dadurch verfügt der Nasenformer über einen erhöhten Tragkomfort. Zudem ist in der Nasenoffnung kaum eine Tastempfindung vorhanden, so dass der Trager nach einer kurzen Einge- wohnungsphase den Nasenformer nicht mehr wahrnimmt. In einer bevorzugten Ausfύhrungsform ist der Nasenformer asymmetrisch gestaltet mit einem langen und einem kurzen Schenkel. Dabei ist der lange Schenkel schmaler und somit flexibler ausgebildet. Diese Formgebung erhöht wiederum den Tragkomfort. Insbesondere ist die Spannung auf die Nasenspitze relativ gering gehalten.The nose former is preferably made of plastic. In a simplest embodiment, the nose former consists of a single material and is made in one piece. In another embodiment, the core of the nose former is made of a relatively hard, flex-resistant material and is surrounded by a soft shell. This makes the nose shaper more comfortable to wear. In addition, there is hardly any tactile sensation in the nasal opening, so that the wearer no longer perceives the nose former after a short period of accommodation. In a preferred embodiment, the nose shaper is designed asymmetrically with a long and a short leg. The long leg is narrower and therefore more flexible. This shape in turn increases the wearing comfort. In particular, the tension on the tip of the nose is kept relatively low.
Eine genugende Lagestabilitat eines in die Nase eingeführten Nasenformers ist durch einen am Bügel angeformten Kamm gewahrleistet. Die Form und Anordnung des Kammes, das heisst die zu einem hinteren Ende hin gerichtete Neigung des Kammes, seine unterschiedliche Dicke, eine in einer Kopfflache vorhandene Delle sowie ein zum hinteren Ende hin gerichteter Vorsprung erhohen einzeln und zusammen genommen die Stabilität des Nasenformers, seinen Tragkomfort sowie auch die Tragsicherheit. Der Kamm dient insbesondere als Sperrelement und verhindert, dass der Nasenformer in die Nasenhohle wandert. Ist der Nasenformer mit Greifflachen versehen, so lasst er sich auch einfache Art und Weise mittels eines Werkzeuges einfuhren.Sufficient positional stability of a nose former inserted into the nose is ensured by a comb molded onto the bracket. The shape and arrangement of the comb, i.e. the inclination of the comb towards a rear end, its different thickness, a dent in a head area and a projection towards the rear end, individually and taken together, increase the stability of the nose former, its comfort as well as the structural safety. The comb serves in particular as a blocking element and prevents the nose former from migrating into the nasal cavity. If the nose former is provided with gripping surfaces, it can also be easily inserted using a tool.
Da der erfindungsgemasse Nasenformer eine wesentlich kostengünstigere Variante zum chirurgischen Eingriff darstellt, ist er auch für weniger zahlungskräftige Bevolkerungsschichten finanzierbar .Since the nose shaper according to the invention represents a considerably less expensive variant of the surgical intervention, it can also be financed for less affluent sections of the population.
Der erfindungsgemasse Nasenformer lasst sich grundsatzlich in allen Nasentypen verwenden. Für unterschiedliche Nasengrossen lassen sich unterschiedliche Grossen des Nasenformers einsetzen. Er eignet sich insbesondere zur Korrektur beziehungsweise Anhebung der Nase des spanischen oder lateinamerikanischen Typus, welche nach unten weist und oft zudem einen gekrümmten Nasenrucken besitzt.The nose shaper according to the invention can basically be used in all types of nose. Different sizes of the nose former can be used for different nose sizes. It is particularly suitable for correcting or lifting the nose of the Spanish or Latin American type, which points downwards and often also has a curved nasal prong.
In den Zeichnungen ist ein Ausfuhrungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes dargestellt, welches in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung erläutert ist. Es zeigen:In the drawings, an exemplary embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is shown, which is explained in the following description. Show it:

Im folgenden werden die Begriffe oben, unten, vorne und hinten verwendet. Diese beziehen sich auf die eingeführte Lage des erfindungsgemassen Nasenformers, wobei "vorne" der Nasenspitze zugewandt bedeutet.In the following, the terms top, bottom, front and back are used. These relate to the inserted position of the nose shaper according to the invention, where "front" means facing the tip of the nose.
Der erfindungsgemasse Nasenformer nach Figur 1 besteht aus einem elastisch verformbaren Bügel 1 aus Kunststoff, welcher einstuckig geformt ist. Vorzugsweise verfugt er über einen relativ harten, biegefesten Kern, welcher von einer weichen Hülle umgeben ist. Es lassen sich hierfür alle Kunststoffe verwenden, welche hautvertraglich und gegen ber Nasenschleim resistent sind sowie eine so grosse Biegefestigkeit aufweisen, dass der Nasenformer bei normalen Gebrauch nicht zerbricht. Ein Beispiel eines derartigen Materials ist Polyethy- len .The nose shaper according to the invention shown in Figure 1 consists of an elastically deformable bracket 1 made of plastic, which is molded in one piece. It preferably has a relatively hard, rigid core, which is surrounded by a soft shell. All plastics that are compatible with the skin and resistant to nasal mucus and have such a high flexural strength that the nose former does not break under normal use can be used for this purpose. An example of such a material is polyethylene.
Der Bügel 1 weist im wesentlichen eine schlanke längliche Form auf, wobei sein Rucken 10 gerundet und seine zwei Flanken 11 leicht gewölbt sind. Der Bügel 1 ist bereits im unver- formten Zustand gebogen, wobei er einen Winkel von 110° bis 140°, vorzugsweise mindestens annähernd 125° bildet. Eine derartige unverformte Ruhelage ist in Figur 1 dargestellt. Der Bügel 1 ist vorzugsweise asymmetrisch gebogen, so dass ein hinterer, kurzer und ein vorderer, langer Schenkel 12,13 gebildet sind. Dabei sind die Flanken 11 des Bugeis 1 im Bereich des kurzen Schenkels 13 breiter beziehungsweise hoher ausgebildet als im Bereich des langen Schenkels 12. Zudem verjungen sich die Flanken 11 im Bereich des langen Schenkels 12 in Richtung freies Ende. Der Bügel 1 lasst sich im wesentlichen und ohne Berücksichtigung seiner Enden in drei Abschnitte unterteilen, einem vorderen Bugelabschnitt a, einem mittleren b und einem hinteren c. Der mittlere Bugelabschnitt b, welcher das Maximum der Krümmung beinhaltet, ist in dieser Ausfuhrungsform verdickt. Dadurch ist die Biegefestigkeit erhöht. Der hintere Bugelabschnitt a ist in dieser Ausfuhrungsform relativ schlank ausgebildet und weist, wie bereits oben erwähnt, eine Verjüngung der Flanken 11 auf. Dadurch ist die Flexibilität erhöht und der Nasenformer lasst sich einfacher in die Nase einfuhren. Der hintere Bugelabschnitt c ist ebenfalls relativ schlank ausgebildet, vorzugsweise weist er dieselbe Dicke wie der vordere Abschnitt a auf. Er ist jedoch breiter und kurzer als der vordere Abschnitt a. Durch diese Form ist ein federnder Hebel gebildet, dessen hinterer kurzer Teil im eingeführten Zustand im wesentlichen als ruhende Basis und der vordere längere Teil als federnder Arm wirkt. Der Bügel 1 weist zwei Enden auf, welche zu einer vorderen und hinteren Stutzwulst 2,3 verdickt sind. Die Stutzwulste 2,3 bilden dabei e eine abgerundete, linsenförmige Stirnflache. Die hintere Stutzwulst 3 ist vorzugsweise dicker ausgebildet als die vordere, wobei ihre Hohe im wesentlichen der Flankenhohe in diesem Bereich entspricht oder leicht grosser ist. Auf der unteren Seite 14 des Bugeis 1 fluchtet die Stutzwulst 3 mit dem kurzen Schenkel 13. Sie ist jedoch, wie in Figur 2 sichtbar ist, breiter ausgebildet als der kurze Schenkel 13.The bracket 1 is essentially of a slim, elongated shape, its back 10 rounded and its two flanks 11 slightly curved. The bracket 1 is already in the formed state bent, wherein it forms an angle of 110 ° to 140 °, preferably at least approximately 125 °. Such an undeformed rest position is shown in FIG. 1. The bracket 1 is preferably bent asymmetrically, so that a rear, short and a front, long leg 12, 13 are formed. The flanks 11 of the bow egg 1 are formed wider or higher in the area of the short leg 13 than in the area of the long leg 12. In addition, the flanks 11 taper in the area of the long leg 12 towards the free end. The bracket 1 can be divided into three sections, a front bow section a, a middle b and a rear c. The middle section b, which contains the maximum curvature, is thickened in this embodiment. This increases the bending strength. In this embodiment, the rear bow section a is of relatively slim design and, as already mentioned above, has a tapering of the flanks 11. This increases flexibility and makes it easier to insert the nose former into the nose. The rear bow section c is also relatively slim, preferably it has the same thickness as the front section a. However, it is wider and shorter than the front section a. This shape forms a resilient lever, the rear short part of which, when inserted, essentially acts as a resting base and the longer front part acts as a resilient arm. The bracket 1 has two ends which are thickened to form a front and rear support bead 2, 3. The support beads 2, 3 form a rounded, lenticular end face. The rear support bead 3 is preferably thicker than the front, its height essentially corresponding to the flank height in this area or slightly larger. On the lower side 14 of the bow egg 1, the support bead 3 is aligned with the short leg 13. However, as can be seen in FIG. 2, it is wider than the short leg 13.
Die vordere Stutzwulst 2 bildet eine fluchtende Verlängerung des Rückens 10 und ist nach unten gebogen. Sie weist eine mindestens annähernd kugelige Form auf.The front support bead 2 forms an aligned extension of the back 10 and is bent downwards. It has an at least approximately spherical shape.
Am Rucken 10 des Bugeis 1 ist mindestens ein, hier genau ein Kamm 4 angeformt. Dieser dient als Sperrelement, um ein Wandern oder Verrutschen des Nasenformers zu verhindern, sowiel als Stabilitatselement, welcher die Steifigkeit der Hebelbasis als solche und die Stabilität des gesamten Nasenformers erhöht. Er befindet sich benachbart zur hinteren Stutzwulst 3 auf dem kurzen Schenkel 13, wobei er beabstandet zum Maximum der Bugelkrummung angeordnet ist. Die Hohe des Kammes 4 entspricht mindestens annähernd der Hohe der Flanke 11, über welcher er angeformt ist.At least one, here exactly one, comb 4 is formed on the back 10 of the bow egg 1. This serves as a blocking element to prevent the nose shaper from moving or slipping, and also as a stability element which increases the rigidity of the lever base as such and the stability of the entire nose shaper. It is located adjacent to the rear support bead 3 on the short leg 13, being arranged at a distance from the maximum of the curvature of the bow. The height of the comb 4 corresponds at least approximately to the height of the flank 11 over which it is molded.
Der Kamm 4 ist zur hinteren Stutzwulst 3 hm geneigt, wobei der Neigungswinkel 40° bis 60°, vorzugsweise wie hier dargestellt mindestens annähernd 45°, betragt. Er verfugt ferner über einen Vorsprung 41, welcher zur hinteren Stutzwulst 3 hm gerichtet ist. Dieser Vorsprung 41 ist gegenüber dem restlichen Teil des Kammes 4 verdickt, wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist. Die Dicke des restlichen Teils des Kammes 4 entspricht mindestens annähernd der Dicke des entsprechenden Schenkelabschnittes. Der Kamm 4 weist m seiner Kopfflache eine Delle 40 oder Vertiefung auf, welche den Vorsprung 41 vom restlichen Teil des Kammes 4 abgrenzt. Auch der Kamm 4 weist gerundete Formen auf, damit die Nasenoffnungen nicht verletzt werden. Vorzugsweise ist der Vorsprung 41 wie auch die dem vorderen Ende zugewandte Stirnflache linsenförmig ausgebildet .The comb 4 is inclined to the rear support bead 3 hm, the angle of inclination being 40 ° to 60 °, preferably as shown here at least approximately 45 °. He also has via a projection 41 which is directed to the rear support bead 3 hm. This projection 41 is thickened relative to the remaining part of the comb 4, as can be seen from FIG. The thickness of the remaining part of the comb 4 corresponds at least approximately to the thickness of the corresponding leg section. The comb 4 has a dent 40 or depression in its top surface, which delimits the projection 41 from the remaining part of the comb 4. The comb 4 also has rounded shapes so that the nasal openings are not injured. Preferably, the projection 41, like the end face facing the front end, is lenticular.
Im Bereich des mindestens einen Kammes 4 sind an den Flanken 11 des Bugeis 1 Greifflachen 5 angeformt. Vorzugsweise sind die Greifflachen 5 durch je eine Vertiefung im Bügel 1 gebildet, wie dies in Figur 2 sichtbar ist. Diese Greifflachen 5 erleichtern das Einfuhren des Nasenformers in die Nasenoffnung, da sie mit einem geeigneten Werkzeug erfassbar sind. Als Werkzeug eignet sich insbesondere ein zangenartiges Mittel 7, welches sich bei Druckbeaufschlagung öffnet und im Ruhezustand geschlossen ist. Damit das Werkzeug greift und nicht abrutscht, sind die Greifflachen vorzugsweise mit Rippen oder anderen die Griffigkeit erhöhenden Mitteln versehen. In den Figuren 4a bis 4d ist ersichtlich, wie der Nasenformer in die Nase eingeführt wird. Vorzugsweise ist hierfür das obengenannte zangenartige Mittel 7 eingesetzt.In the area of the at least one comb 4 1 gripping surfaces 5 are formed on the flanks 11 of the bow. The gripping surfaces 5 are preferably each formed by a depression in the bracket 1, as can be seen in FIG. 2. These gripping surfaces 5 facilitate the insertion of the nose former into the nose opening, since they can be grasped with a suitable tool. A tool like pliers 7 is particularly suitable as a tool, which opens when pressurized and is closed in the idle state. So that the tool grips and does not slip, the gripping surfaces are preferably provided with ribs or other means that increase the grip. FIGS. 4a to 4d show how the nose former is inserted into the nose. The above-mentioned pincer-like means 7 is preferably used for this.
Anhand der Figuren 3a und 3b wird ersichtlich, wie der Nasenformer getragen wird und wie er wirkt. In Figur 3a ist eine unverformte Nase 6 des lateinamerikanischen Typs dargestellt. Sie neigt nach unten und wirkt deshalb in der Frontalen relativ lang. Zudem kommt der gekrümmte Nasenrucken 60 negativ zur Geltung. In der Figur 3b ist in beiden Nasenoffnungen 61 e ein Nasenformer eingeführt. Der kurze Schenkel 13, genauer die hintere Stutzwulst 3, stutzt sich am unteren Nasenflugelknorpel 62 ab. Der Kamm 4 liegt dabei vorzugsweise beruhrungsfrei innerhalb der Nase im Bereich des oberen kleinen Nasenflugelknorpels 63. Die vordere Stutzwulst 2 steckt in der Nasenspitze, genauer gesagt, sie stutzt sich am grossen Nasenflugelknorpel 64 ab. Auf diese Weise ist der Nasenformer rutschsicher gehalten und von aussen nicht sichtbar. Die Nase jedoch hat ihre Form wesentlich verändert, wurde sie doch angehoben und wirkt nun von der Frontalen aus gesehen kurzer und geradliniger. FIGS. 3a and 3b show how the nose former is worn and how it works. FIG. 3a shows an undeformed nose 6 of the Latin American type. It slopes downwards and therefore looks relatively long in the front. In addition, the curved nasal prong 60 comes into its own negatively. In FIG. 3b, a nose former is inserted in both nostrils 61 e. The short leg 13, more precisely the rear support bead 3, is supported on the lower nasal cartilage 62. The crest 4 is preferably contact-free within the nose in the region of the upper small nasal cartilage 63. The anterior bulge 2 is in the tip of the nose, more precisely, it is supported on the large nasal cartilage 64. In this way, the nose former is held non-slip and is not visible from the outside. However, the nose has changed its shape significantly, as it has been raised and now looks shorter and more straight-forward from the front.
