Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a means for shaping the human nose according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the nose former is preferably made of plastic.
  • the nose former consists of a single material and is made in one piece.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a comb molded onto the bracket 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a nose former according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows the nose shaper according to Figure 1 from above;
  • 3a shows a projection of the Latin American type without Na ⁇ senformer;
  • Figure 3b the nose according to Figure 3a with an inserted nose former
  • Figures 4a - 4d the insertion of the nose former into the nose in four steps.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the projection 41 like the end face facing the front end, is lenticular.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the curved nasal prong 60 comes into its own negatively.
  • 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.
  • the nose former is held non-slip and is not visible from the outside.
  • the nose has changed its shape significantly, as it has been raised and now looks shorter and more straight-forward from the front.
