JP5049224B2 - Respiratory control mouthpiece - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention can be used for sports such as golf swing, baseball batting, shooting and other operations that require accuracy, long-distance running, and operations that require endurance such as cycling, judo, kendo, karate, In order to increase concentration and make ideal movement possible, such as weight lifting, hammer throwing and other operations that require instantaneous force, and other human movements, The present invention relates to a breathing control mouthpiece that memorizes and reproduces the rhythm so that the best or best movement can be executed with high accuracy any number of times.

In general, it is known that a person's breathing has a breathing action or position such as “suck”, “vomit”, “stop after exhaling”, “stop after inhaling”.

Particularly in sports, the relationship between human breathing and movement is very important. It is considered what kind of movement a person performs, which breathing movement or position breathing, and what kind of rhythmic breathing can achieve better performance and performance in sports.

Usually, humans breathe by the autonomic nerves, and breathing never stops even if they are not conscious. However, few people are conscious of how long they breathe, how long they breathe, how long they breathe, when they breathe and then turn back, and when they breathe and turn back . In fact, it is unconscious about how long you hold your breath when breathing and then turning back or when breathing and turning back.

As described above, since people rely on autonomic nerves for breathing, athletes have various breathing rhythms for various reasons such as psychological state, momentum, and physical condition. When the cycle of the various breathing rhythms come irregularly, the phenomenon of “disturbing breathing” appears.

If the breathing of athletes or people who are exercising is disturbed, a feeling of fatigue will come out early, resulting in the inability to continue focusing, etc., making it impossible to perform ideal or best movement.

When a player or the like stops breathing and is in a state of breathing, too much force enters each part of the body, making it impossible to move as desired. In addition, since the time during which breathing can be stopped is limited, even if instantaneous movement is possible, continuous movement is not possible.

Conventionally, as a portable simulator device, a container, a mouthpiece means opened in the container, a carbon dioxide removing means arranged in an air flow between the mouthpiece means and an air storage means, and the storage Means for coupling the means to ambient air and means for adjusting the effective volume of the air reservoir means so that air from a user is expelled through the removal means and for the ambient air There is a breathing apparatus that flows into the storage means, is mixed in the container, and such mixed air is inhaled by the user through the mouthpiece means through the removing means (see Patent Document 1).

However, the above-described conventional invention relates to a portable advanced simulation method and a simulator device, and a user using the breathing method and device may breathe air having oxygen whose partial pressure is lower than that of ambient air. Can simulate conditions at higher altitudes than where the method and apparatus are used, e.g., before a user travels to higher altitudes, or in a capacity training or sport activity or medical field Even though it can adapt to higher altitudes, some of the simulation methods and devices are difficult to use during exercise or strenuous movements, and the breathing and rhythm of the outcome is achieved. It cannot be stored or played back.

In addition, as another prior art, a lip closure insufficiency correction tool for closing the mouth by correcting the lip insufficiency that is attached to the mouth and opens the mouth unconsciously,
A tooth biting plate portion disposed between the upper front teeth and the lower front teeth, which can be swallowed by the upper front teeth and the lower front teeth, and the tongue posture / position correction portion has a tongue at the rear end portion of the tooth biting plate portion; It is formed so that the tip of the tongue can be guided and brought into contact with the incisor papilla of the palate,
There is a correction device for lip insufficiency characterized in that a tongue posture position correction unit capable of raising the tongue is provided so that the tongue tip is not in a low position and the tongue tip contacts the palate (see Reference 2) )

However, the invention of Patent Document 2 is an orthodontic appliance that can normalize the posture position of the tongue and the posture position of the jaw to improve oral function and correct the dentition, thereby preventing lip closure failure. The plate portion 24 only serves to abut the surfaces of the upper lip and the lower lip.

Moreover, in each sport, etc., an original breathing method has been established by explaining the relationship between breathing and movement, and certain results have been achieved. However, because the environment and physical condition change every moment in a constantly moving situation, and the means for recognizing respiration is created by a part of your body, the recognizing means are also unstable, and respiration and respiration It is very difficult to adjust the part of the body, which is a means for recognizing consciousness, and to be aware of breathing, and it is also difficult for professional athletes to reproduce the breathing and rhythm when results are achieved. For example, when exhaling from the mouth, exhaling from the mouth little by little, tightening the mouth strongly to increase the air pressure in the mouth, controlling the air leaking from the mouth, etc. ing.

  To control your breathing, you must first consciously understand what you are breathing. Natural breathing passes through the mouth and nose as they are, making it difficult to be aware of it. Therefore, it is practiced to learn the sense of passage of breathing air and the position of breathing by controlling the airway by changing the shape by applying force to the mouth, tongue and cheeks, and exhaling or raising the voice.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the purpose of the present invention is that a person who performs an exercise or a movement operation such as sports consciously creates his or her breathing rhythm and has achieved results. The object is to provide a breathing control mouthpiece that memorizes and reproduces the breathing and the rhythm of the moment so that the best movement can be executed with high accuracy anytime and many times.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a breathing control board, which has a size that covers a person's lips and is formed of a curved or flat plate. As the material, synthetic resins such as engineering plastics having strong heat resistance and mechanical strength such as polyamide, polyacetal, modified polyphenylene oxide, polysulfone, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate are used. Further, other thermoplastic resins, thermoplastic elastomers, silicone resins, etc. may be used. Other than the resin, a material such as wooden or vulcanized fiber may be used. In short, it is desirable that the material is mechanically strong, harmless to humans, and lightweight.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a support portion that protrudes horizontally from the center of the back surface of the breathing control plate 1. Although the shape of the support portion 2 is shown as being formed of a strip-shaped plate material in the present example, it is not limited to this shape, and may be a shape such as a round bar. In short, any structure that can sufficiently support the respiration control plate 1 may be used. The support portion 2 has a constant length, and both ends thereof are fixed by the respiration control plate 1 and the mouthpiece 3, respectively, and the respiration control plate 1 can be adjusted to move back and forth along the support portion 2. Is the structure (see FIG. 4 (a)), or is the breathing control plate 1 fixed to the support 2 and can the support 2 move back and forth with respect to the mouthpiece 3?
(Refer to FIG. 4 (b)), or a structure in which the support portion 2 is detachable from the mouthpiece 3 (see FIG. 4 (c)).
When the length of the support portion 2 is constant and both ends of the support portion 2 are fixed by the breathing control plate 1 and the mouthpiece 3, respectively, the face shape of the person to be used is different and the like is different. Several types of support portions 2 having different lengths are prepared in accordance with the application, such as when several types of support portions 2 having different lengths are prepared and installed in front of the lips, or mounted in contact with the lips. In the case of a structure in which the base of the support part 2 is inserted into the mouth, the lips are opened by the thickness and thickness of the support part 2, so that the lip is as much as possible so as not to affect the control of breathing. It is important to form a shape with few openings. Further, the shape of the mouthpiece 3 is not limited to a substantially plane U shape as in this example, but may be other shapes.

In the structure in which the respiration control plate 1 can be moved back and forth along the support portion 2, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the support portion 2 is inserted into a through hole formed in the central portion of the respiration control plate 1. Forms a tightly fitting structure. However, the structure in which the respiration control plate 1 moves back and forth along the support portion 2 is not limited to the fitting structure, and the respiration control plate 1 and the support portion 2 are formed in a screwed structure, or The support portion 2 may be loosely inserted into a through hole formed in the central portion of the breathing control plate 1 and a rubber seal member may be sealed in the inserted gap portion. As long as the breathing control plate 1 moves and adjusts back and forth along the support portion 2, any structure may be used.

3 is a mouthpiece to be bitten by upper and lower teeth in the mouth. The distal end portion of the mouthpiece 3 is connected to the base portion of the support portion 2. The material of the mouthpiece 3 is formed of a material such as EVA, silicone resin, styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene copolymer rubber (SEBS copolymer). In short, a material that is hygienic and is familiar without imposing a burden on the teeth is suitable. Further, in the structure in which the support portion 2 is detachable from the mouthpiece 3, for example, when the base portion of the support portion 2 is fitted to the front tooth side portion of the mouthpiece 3, the base portion of the support portion 2 is the mouthpiece. It is fixed in a stable state by firmly biting 3 above and below the front teeth.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a nasal respiration control board provided on the upper part of the respiration control board 1 and serves to control nasal respiration. The nasal respiration control plate 4 is provided to be inclined obliquely upward so as to be substantially parallel to the tip of the nasal cavity.

5 is a fragrance such as essential oil that has an aromatherapy effect. The fragrance is stored in a small storage container 6 so that the scent of essential oil extracted from plants such as herbs is released to the outside. The storage container 6 is attached to the respiration control plate 1 so as to diverge to the outside through a small hole of the container 6. Alternatively, instead of the storage container 6, a material having a fragrance absorbing function such as a urethane foam material that squeezes the fragrance 5 may be used.

Next, the usage of the respiratory control mouthpiece according to the present invention will be described.
The mouthpiece 3 is placed between the upper and lower teeth in the mouth, and the mouthpiece 3 is bitten by the upper and lower teeth. The length of the support portion 2 may be worn according to the shape of the face of the user, or the length may be adjusted after wearing. The length of the support part 2 is appropriately adjusted according to the purpose of the breathing method, for example, when it is set at a forward position at a certain distance from the tip of the lips or when it is brought close to a state in contact with the tip of the lips.

When breathing out into the lungs when breathing out through the mouth or nose or both the mouth and nose, or when breathing out by directly receiving the strength of the state when exhaling at once with the breathing control board 1 Sense the strength in relation to the movement of the body, and practice to reproduce the strength to exhale when reproducing the movement. Also, the state of breath sucked into the lungs through the mouth or nose or both the mouth and nose is sensed through the breathing control board 1 and practice to reproduce the breathing action is performed. Alternatively, a breathing in a naturally open state with the mouth open is consciously made and practiced to sense it with the breathing control board 1. When the distance between the mouth and the breathing control board 1 is shortened, breathing is burdened, and in training with an increased heart rate, a great effect is obtained in improving the cardiopulmonary function, and the results of training at high places are expected.

In addition, in use in operations that require accuracy such as golf putter swing and shooting, a minute amount of breathing is required for timing, but as a result of recognizing that this minute amount of breathing also hits the breathing control board, A subtle sense can be accurately sensed and reproduced during similar operations. Accordingly, it is possible to sense the best playing state action with the strength of the breath striking the breathing board 1, and to acquire the breathing rhythm at the same time of playing.

In other words, when performing, by sensing the strength of breath striking the breathing plate 1 as to the relationship between breathing and movement, spontaneously or consciously creates a breathing rhythm, maintains accuracy with ideal movement, and comes from tension Body stiffness can be reduced. Further, when the breathing method is performed by applying to various breathing methods, the breathing method is accurately sensed and learned through the breathing control board 1.

Further, when the nasal breathing control board is provided, the strength of the breath exhaled from the nose can be related to the action by the strength when it hits the nasal breathing control board 4, so that the strength of the action and the breath exhaled from the nose can also be seen from this aspect. You can feel the best breathing according to your performance. Also, when breathing in from the nose, the flow of ambient air is changed by the nasal breathing control board, and the phenomenon of the change can be sensed by the nose and the rhythm of breathing by the nose can be created.

  And since the breathing control board is equipped with fragrances such as essential oils that have an aromatherapy effect, the aromatherapy effect gives you a relaxed state even in tension when you play best with intense exercise or concentration. As a result, it contributes to realization of the best play.
