Abstract

The present invention: pertains to an anti-snoring mask that balances nasal breathing and mouth breathing, and can be attached with only a mouth periphery portion and a chin portion; and addresses the problem of providing an anti-snoring mask that naturally balances nasal breathing and mouth breathing, with a fitting method that does not use an adhesive material etc., and is not elaborate. The main features of the anti-snoring mask are that a mask of flexible material is formed in a shape that was devised from the features of the form of the periphery of the human mouth, and slits are made on the left and right nasolabial folds and on the inside. By either attaching a component to be hooked on the chin to the mask, or integrally forming a chin fitting portion and the mask, attaching the mask to the mouth by suction or adhesion, and attaching the chin fitting portion to the chin, the mask is worn by taking advantage of the equilibrium between the suction properties of the mask material that covers the mouth periphery portion and the pulling force of the chin fitting portion, and is used mainly to prevent snoring when sleeping.

Description

いびき防止マスクSnoring prevention mask
 本発明は、鼻呼吸と口呼吸のバランスを整え、さらに口周辺部分と顎部分のみで取り付け可能ないびき防止用マスクに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a snoring prevention mask that adjusts the balance between nasal breathing and mouth breathing and that can be attached only by the mouth peripheral part and the chin part.
 いびきを防止するには鼻呼吸と口呼吸のバランスを調える事が最も効果的であるが、いびき防止を目的とした鼻マスクやマウスピースなどの既存の装置、器具では装置が大掛かりになり過ぎたり、粘着剤などの使用により皮膚がかぶれたり、歯に負担がかかるなどの問題が解決できなかった。
 既存のいびき防止マスクは口元を押さえ込む方法であり、口呼吸を完全に止めることで息苦しかったり、鼻吸気と口排気の自然なバランスを調えながらいびきを防止または軽減することが困難だった。
 また、従来のマスクの装着方法は、ゴムや紐などの部品を両耳または頭部や頸部に掛けて装着するか、マスク本体に一体形成された輪型部分を同様に両耳または頭部や頸部に掛けて装着するか、または包帯などを用いて装着する方法があるが、就寝時や安静時などの長時間の使用によって装着部位に痛みが生じたり、装着方法が大袈裟で使い難かったり、装着時に髪型が乱れたりするなどの問題があった。接着剤などを用いてマスクを皮膚に直接接着方法も考案されたが、皮膚のかぶれや、脱着時に痛みなどの不快感を伴うなどの問題を解決できなかった。
The most effective way to prevent snoring is to balance nasal breathing and mouth breathing, but with existing devices and instruments such as nasal masks and mouthpieces designed to prevent snoring, the device becomes too large. However, the use of adhesives, etc., could not solve problems such as skin irritation and tooth strain.
The existing snoring mask is a method of pressing the mouth, and it is difficult to prevent or reduce snoring while adjusting the natural balance between nasal inspiration and mouth exhaust by completely stopping mouth breathing.
Also, the conventional mask mounting method is to wear parts such as rubber and string on both ears or the head and neck, or the ring-shaped part integrally formed on the mask body is similarly used on both ears or head. There is a method of wearing it on the neck or wearing it with a bandage, etc., but it is painful at the wearing site due to prolonged use such as sleeping or resting, and the wearing method is large and difficult to use And there was a problem that the hairstyle was disturbed when worn. Although a method of directly bonding the mask to the skin using an adhesive or the like has been devised, it has not been possible to solve problems such as skin irritation and uncomfortable feelings such as pain at the time of desorption.
 粘着材などを使用せず、さらに大掛かりでない装着方法で鼻吸気と口排気の自然なバランスを調えられるいびき防止マスクの提供を課題とする。 An object is to provide a snoring prevention mask that can adjust the natural balance between nasal inhalation and mouth exhaust by using an attachment method that does not require adhesives and is not too large.
 本発明は、人間の口周辺部の形態の特徴から考案した形状で柔軟素材のマスクを成形し、左右の豊麗線のさらに内側にそれぞれ切り込みを入れることを主要な特徴とする。
 本発明は、顎部に掛けるための部品をマスクに装着するか、もしくは顎部装着部分とマスクを一体成形する。マスクを口元に吸着または密着し、顎部装着部分を顎部に装着することによって、口周辺部分を覆うマスク素材の吸着性と顎部装着部分との引っ張り力の均衡を利用して装着する。
The main feature of the present invention is that a mask made of a flexible material is formed in a shape devised from the characteristics of the shape of the periphery of the human mouth, and cuts are made further inside the left and right brilliant lines.
In the present invention, a part to be hung on the jaw is mounted on the mask, or the jaw mounting part and the mask are integrally formed. The mask is adsorbed or closely attached to the mouth, and the chin mounting portion is mounted on the chin, so that the mask material is mounted using the balance between the adsorptivity of the mask material covering the peripheral portion of the mouth and the tensile force of the chin mounting portion.
 硬度10以下の柔軟性と軽度の粘着性を有したシリコン素材またはゲル状素材などで上記の構造を取り入れたマスク形に成形することで粘着材を使用しないでの装着と開口防止が実現し、口唇や皮膚のかぶれなどの問題も解消する。
 従来はマスクの装着に不可欠であった耳部および頭部などへの装着部品が不要となることで、就寝時や安静時などの長時間のマスク装着時における装着痛などの人体装着部位への負担が解消する。
 マスク装着時に人体部位にベルトや紐などを装着する部位が顎だけに限定されることから、マスクの取り外しが簡便となるとともに、眼鏡、帽子、ヘッドフォンなどを着用したままでも脱着が可能となる。
 マスク本体の形状を豊麗線の内側またはその周辺部などの口周辺部分に収めることで、マスク本体の面積が小さくなることから携帯利便性が向上し、また、マスクに透明の吸着性素材などを用いることで装着時の外見も向上する。
 柔軟素材で口を覆いながらも切り込み部分からわずかに口呼吸を可能にする事で不自然な息苦しさが解消でき、これまで困難であったいびきの防止と自然な呼吸バランスとの両立が可能になる。
 また、切り込みを入れる事により横向き睡眠時や口の動きに対し柔軟に変形し設置部分の減少を抑えることで脱落防止につながる。
 なお、本発明は就寝時および安静時におけるいびき防止マスクであって、活動時における装着については想定していない。
By using a silicone material or gel-like material with a hardness of 10 or less and a soft adhesive, it can be molded into a mask shape that incorporates the above structure to prevent wearing and preventing opening. It also eliminates problems such as lip and skin irritation.
It eliminates the need for mounting parts on the ear and head, which was indispensable for wearing a mask in the past, so that it can be applied to the human body wearing part such as wearing pain when wearing a mask for a long time such as at bedtime or at rest. The burden is eliminated.
Since the part where the belt or the string is attached to the human body part when the mask is worn is limited to the chin only, the mask can be easily removed and can be detached even while wearing glasses, a hat, headphones, and the like.
By storing the mask body shape inside the Holy Line or around the mouth, such as the periphery, the area of the mask body is reduced, improving the convenience of carrying, and using a transparent adsorbent material for the mask. Use also improves the appearance when worn.
By covering the mouth with a flexible material and allowing the mouth to breathe slightly from the incision, unnatural breathing can be eliminated, making it possible to achieve both the prevention of snoring and the natural breathing balance, which were difficult until now Become.
In addition, by making a notch, it can be deformed flexibly with sideways sleeping or movement of the mouth, and it can prevent falling off by suppressing the decrease in installation part.
The present invention is a snoring prevention mask at bedtime and at rest, and is not supposed to be worn during activity.
 図1は本発明を実施し顎用ベルトを本体と一体形成したいびき防止マスクの平面図である。 FIG. 1 is a plan view of a snoring prevention mask embodying the present invention and integrally forming a chin belt with a main body.
 硬度0乃至2程度、厚さ3mm程度のスチレン系樹脂などを図1に表した形状に成形することで顎用ベルトを本体と一体形成した本発明の実施が可能となる。
 素材の厚さを薄くする事で口の動きの抑制を弱く、素材の厚さをより厚くする事で口の動きの抑制を強く調整する事ができる。
 柔軟ゴム等でできた輪状またはメガネの耳掛け状の耳掛け等を用いてマスクの脱落防止を補強しても良い。
 本発明の実現には、人体皮膚に対して適度の吸着性を有しながら、人肌に類似した柔軟性と、マスク本体の形状を維持するための伸縮強度を有している必要があるが、近年の新素材開発によって提供される素材を用いることで、顎部装着部分とマスク本体吸着部分との引っ張り力の均衡を用いた装着方法が可能となる。
 なお、実施に当たっては就寝時および安静時の使用を目的としていること明記し、活動の使用には不適当であることを明示する必要がある
By forming a styrene resin having a hardness of about 0 to 2 and a thickness of about 3 mm into the shape shown in FIG. 1, the present invention in which the chin belt is integrally formed with the main body can be implemented.
By reducing the thickness of the material, the suppression of mouth movement can be weakened, and by increasing the thickness of the material, the suppression of mouth movement can be adjusted strongly.
The prevention of the mask from falling off may be reinforced by using a ring-shaped earring made of a flexible rubber or the like, or an ear-hook shaped eyeglass.
In order to realize the present invention, it is necessary to have flexibility similar to human skin and stretching strength for maintaining the shape of the mask body while having appropriate adsorptivity to human skin. By using a material provided by development of a new material in recent years, a mounting method using a balance of tensile forces between the jaw portion mounting portion and the mask main body adsorption portion becomes possible.
In the implementation, it should be clearly stated that it is intended for use at bedtime and at rest, and that it is inappropriate for the use of activities.
