Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a respiration adjustment device which helps a user to achieve relaxation of mind and body and further assists promotion of health of the user by physically operating on the user' s nose to appropriately adjust and correct the user's respiration made through nostrils.
  • the respiratory method has occupied an important place in mind and body training methods of various religions and martial arts.
  • abdominal breathing, thoracic breathing, hypogastric breathing and alternate breathing are widely known as the respiratory methods.
  • the alternate breathing is a kind of the respiratory method carried out by yoga trainees and is directed to a method of performing the respiration by alternately selecting one of two nostrils. Since the respiration is made through one of the nostrils in the alternate breathing, the air flow is rapid during inspiration and expiration, and thus the respiratory organs including the nose, bronchus and lungs are cleared.
  • the alternate breathing has an effect on nervous diseases such as insomnia, hypertension, depression, anxiety, and the like. Furthermore, it provides a balance between sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves and between all functions of mind and body, thus having a positive effect on chronic diseases caused by a physical imbalance. Accordingly, the alternate breathing is widely used as a respiratory method of mind and body trainees and used together with the abdominal breathing or the hypogastric breathing. When a mind and body trainee performs the alternate breathing, he or she selectively closes and opens the nasal vestibule corresponding to the anterior portion of the nasaL cavity using fingers.
  • the present invention is directed to a respiration adjustment device which is put on a user's face and enables the user to perform an alternate breathing effectively.
  • the present invention provides a respiration adjustment device comprising: a main body held on a user' s face and including a pressing means for pressing the user's nose to close and open nostrils; and a control box for providing a drive signal for driving the pressing means to the main body.

  • the main body may further comprise a visual field cutoff plate for cutting off the user' s visual field from the external environment.
  • the main body may further comprise a display means for providing an image to the user, and the control box may provide image information to the main body.
  • the main body may further comprise a perfume generating means.
  • the present invention provides a respiration adjustment device comprising: a main body held on a user's face; and a control box electrically connected to the main body and providing a drive signal to the main body, wherein the main body comprises first and second pressing means installed adjacent to both sides of the user's nose and pressing the nose from the sides to close and open nostrils, first and second drive means for driving the first and second pressing means, respectively, and a holding means for holding the main body on the face.
  • the main body may further comprise a voice output means for outputting a voice signal .
  • the voice output means may be an earphone, and the main body may further comprise an earphone holding means for holding the earphone.
  • the control box may provide a voice signal to the main body.
  • the main body may further comprise a visual field cutoff plate for cutting off the user' s visual field from the external environment.
  • the visual field cut-off plate may be detachably connected to the main body.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'ajustement de la respiration qui aide un utilisateur à atteindre la relaxation de l'esprit et du corps et aide en outre à favoriser la bonne santé de l'utilisateur par une action physique sur le nez de l'utilisateur pour ajuster et corriger de façon appropriée la respiration de l'utilisateur effectuée à travers les narines. Le dispositif d'ajustement de la respiration de la présente invention comprend un corps principal 1 comprenant des projections de pression 11, pour presser le nez de l'utilisateur à partir des côtés, et un boîtier de commande 2 pour commander le corps principal 1. Le corps principal 1 est électriquement connecté à la boîte de commande 2 par un fil métallique 3. Les narines du nez de l'utilisateur sont fermées et ouvertes selon l'entraînement des projections de pression 11. En conséquence, une personne rééduquée de l'esprit et du corps peut effectuer une respiration alternée de façon confortable sans l'utilisation de ses doigts, se concentrant ainsi sur l'entraînement de l'esprit et du corps.
