DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

FIG. la is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. lb is a longitudinal sectional view of the apparatus of the present invention showing a using state. As shown in these drawings, a first embodiment of the apparatus according to the present invention includes: a position adjusting means 100, an insertion shaping part 110, a contact supporting means 120, and a nose top shaping means 130. The insertion shaping part 110 is inserted into the both nostrils to be contacted on the inner ceilings of the nostrils. The insertion shaping part 110 includes a pair of inner pressing pieces 111 attached on the upper tips of elastically supporting bars 113, for raising the nose top by pushing it.

The elastically supporting bar 113 is provided with a bent part 115, so that the pressing piece 111 can be contacted on to the inner ceiling of the nostril. The lower ends of the supporting bars 113 are connected to the position adjusting means 100. The inner pressing piece 111 is made of a material which is elastic and non-harmful to the human health, such as silicon.

The position adjusting means 100 includes: a housing 102 having a pair of guide channels 103 for making it possible for the elastically supporting bars 113 to be guided; an adjusting bolt 105 for being rotatably coupled to an inner intermediate portion of the housing 102 ; a movable plate 106 coupled to an intermediate portion of the adjusting bolt 105 so as to be straightly moved upon rotating the adjusting bolt 105, and rotatably coupled to circular rings 108 of the supporting bars 113 by means of bolts 107; and an adjusting knob 101 secured to an outer end of the adjusting bolt 105 in front of the housing 102.

The guide channels 103 are provided with converging parts 104 so as to make the two channels converged to each other. The front portions of the channels 103 form a narrow gap between them. Therefore, if the adjusting knob 101 is rotated, the supporting bars 113 advance forward, so that the gap between the two pressing pieces 111 would be narrowed, thereby making it possible to make the nose top raised upward. The contact supporting means 120 closely contacts to the portion between the bottom of the nostril and the upper lip, so that the pressing pieces 111 can securely contact with the inner ceilings of the nostrils. The means 120 includes two contact wings 121 which are attached on the rear end of the means 120. The contact wings 121 are provided with a pair of elastic grooves 123, so that the contact wings 121 can be securely attached. The nose shaping means 130 includes: a pair of elastically supporting bars 133 with their lower ends connected to the wings 121; and a pair of upper pressing pieces 131 attached on the upper tips of the supporting bars 133.

Each of the supporting bars 133 is provided with a circular bent portion 134 to reinforce the elastic forces. The lower tip of each of the supporting bars 133 is detachably inserted into each of insertion holes 125 of the wings 121.

The apparatus of the present invention constituted as above will now be described as to its actions referring to FIGs. la and lb.

First, a user attaches the contact wings 121 of the contact supporting means 120 onto below the nose, and at the same time, the pressing pieces 111 are inserted into the nostrils.

Then the position adjusting means 100 is manipulated to adjust the positions of the pressing pieces 111. That is, if the adjusting knob 101 is rotated, the adjusting bolt 105 is also rotated. Then the movable plate 106 moves forward simultaneously, and the elastically supporting bars 113 move forward along the guide channels 103 simultaneously. When the supporting bars 113 move forward, the gap between them is narrowed, and the gap between the pressing pieces 111 is also narrowed, with the result that the pressing pieces 111 move up into the highest part of the nasal ceiling, and that the nose protrudes neatly upward. Meanwhile, the nose top shaping means 130 acts in the following manner. That is, the pressing pieces 131 of the supporting bars 133 press the side portions of the nose. Therefore, the nose top is raised by the pressing pieces 131, while the inner nasal ceiling is lifted up by the pressing pieces 111.

The upper pressing pieces 131 are made of an elastic soft material like that of the inner pressing pieces 111. Thus if the apparatus of the present invention is used, the snoring is prevented, because the inner pressing pieces 111 push the nasal ceiling outward to expand the nostril. At the same time, the nose top neatly protrudes .

Another embodiment of the position adjusting means 100 is illustrated in FIG. 2. As shown in this drawing, the means 100 includes: a guide rod 112 inserted into a housing 102; a movable plate 116 slidably coupled to the guide rod 112 ; a pair of elastically supporting bars 113 with their upper tips connected to a pair of inner pressing pieces 111 and with their lower tips connected to a pair of upper pressing pieces 131; a spring 109 installed on the guide rod 112 between the movable plate 116 and the housing 102, for elastically pushing the movable plate 116 forward; and an adjusting knob 101 formed on a threaded portion 114 of the guide rod 112.

This embodiment of FIG. 2 is used in the following manner. That is, the contact wings 121 of the contact supporting means 120 are contacted to between the nose and the upper lip, and the inner pressing pieces 111 are inserted into the nostril. Then the adjusting knob 101 is rotated, so that the movable plate 116 would move forward owing to the force of the spring 109. As a result, the inner pressing pieces 111 push the inner nasal ceiling upward.

FIGs. 3a and 3b illustrate another embodiment of the nose top shaping means 130. As shown in these drawings, the means 130 includes: an elastically supporting bar 133 inserted into an insertion holes 117 formed on the front of a housing 102; the supporting bar 133 having a circular bent part 134 on a lower portion of thereof; the supporting bar 133 having a nose supporting part 132 on an upper tip thereof. The nose supporting part 132 is provided with a recess, so that it can be mounted upon the nose.

The nose top shaping means 130 can be installed in the following manner. That is, either the supporting bar 133 is inserted into the insertion hole 125 like in FIGs. la and lb, or it is inserted into the insertion hole 117 which is formed on the front of the housing 102 like in FIGs. 3a and 3b.

That is, either the two supporting bars 133 are coupled to the wings 121 so as to use the two upper pressing pieces 131, or a single supporting bar 133 is coupled to the front of the housing 102, or no nose top shaping means 130 is used at all.

In this embodiment, the supporting bar 133 with the nose supporting part 132 attached thereon is employed as shown in FIGs. 3a and 3b. The elastic force of the supporting bar 133 can be adjusted by means of the circular bent part 134. Other constitutions and actions are same as the embodiment of FIGs. la and lb.

FIG. 4 illustrates still another embodiment of the position adjusting means 100. FIG. 4a is a perspective view. FIG. 4b is a plan view. FIG. 4c is a lateral partial sectional view. FIGs. 4d and 4e illustrate the actuations.

As shown in these drawings, the position adjusting means 100 includes: a pair of guide rails 204 connected in parallel between a fixed part 202 and a contact wing part 121 of the contact supporting means 120, the both end portions of the guide rails 204 being twisted; an adjusting bolt 205 connected in parallel with the guide rails 204 between them; a movable plate 206 laterally connecting the guide rails 204; an adjusting nut 201 fitted to the adjusting bolt 205; a pair of bushings 203 slidably fitted to the guide rails respectively; and supporting bars 113 with their lower ends fixed to the bushings 203 respectively.

This embodiment of the position adjusting means 100 constituted as above will now be described as to its actions referring to FIGs. 4a to 4e.

When this position adjusting means 100 is used, the wing part 121 of the contact supporting means 120 is contacted to below the nose, and then, the inner pressing pieces 111 are inserted into the nostrils. Then the adjusting nuts are rotated, so that the movable plate 206 would be moved forward. Thus if the bushings 203 together with the movable plate 206 move forward along the twisted portions of the guide rails 204, the bushings 203 rotate along the twisted portions of the guide rails. Since the supporting bars 113 are fixed to the bushings 203, the supporting bars 113 move by the rotating motions of the supporting bars 113 , with the result that the gap between the two supporting bars 113 is narrowed, and that the two inner pressing pieces 111 are inserted into the upper nasal ceiling. Then if the adjusting nut 201 is further rotated, the two inner pressing pieces 111 push up the upper nasal ceiling, with the result that the nose top neatly protrudes upward, and that the nasal cavity is expanded to prevent the snoring. The twisted guide rails 204 have a rectangular cross section, and are twisted in an angle of 15 to 65 degrees, so that the supporting bars 113 and the inner pressing pieces 111 would be rotated by 15 to 65 degrees.

Still another embodiment of the position adjusting means 100 is illustrated in FIGs. 5a to 5b.

As shown in these drawings, the position adjusting means 100 includes: a pair of guide rails 223 connected between a fixed part 202 and a contact wing part 121, both of the guide rails being bent at a middle position in a mutually diverging direction, one of the guide rails 223 having scales 222; an adjusting bolt 205 disposed between the two guide rails 223 and connected between the fixed part 202 and the wing part 121; a movable plate 206 laterally connecting the two guide rails 223; an adjusting nut 201 coupled to the adjusting bolt 205 at the movable plate 206; a pair of bushings 224 slidably coupled to the guide rails 223 near the both ends of the movable plate 206; and a pair of supporting bars 113 fixed to circumferences of the bushings 224 respectively.

In FIGs. 5a and 5b, reference codes 221 and 226 indicate cavities for accommodating the adjusting nut 201 and the supporting bars 113. The half portions of the guide rails 223, which are remote from the wing part 121, are parallel to each other. On the other hand, the half portions of the guide rails 223, which are adjacent to the wing part 121, are diverged from each other to form a converging part 225. One of the guide rails has scales

222, and therefore, the movement of the inner pressing pieces 111 can be measured, thereby ensuring a convenience.

This embodiment of the position adjusting means 100 constituted as above will now be described as to its actions referring FIGs. 5a and 5b.

In the case where this position adjusting means 100 is employed, the inner pressing pieces 111 are inserted into the nostrils, and then, the adjusting nut 201 is rotated, so that the movable plate 206 would move farther from the contact supporting means 120. Thus the two bushings 224 are made to slide along the guide rails 223. During the passing through the converging part 225 of the guide rails

223, the gap between the two pressing pieces 111 is narrowed, with the result that the two pressing pieces 111 are inserted into the upper nasal ceiling. If the adjusting nut 201 is further rotated, the inner pressing pieces 111 pushes up the upper nasal ceiling. Therefore, the nose neatly protrudes, and the snoring is prevented, because the nasal cavity is expanded.

Still another embodiment of the position adjusting means 100 is illustrated in FIGs. 6a and 6b.

As shown in these drawings, the position adjusting means 100 includes: a shaft 235 installed within the housing 102; an angle adjusting gear 233 fitted to the shaft 235; a pair of supporting bars 113 with their lower ends fixed to both ends of the shaft 235, the supporting bars 113 passing through upper cavities 236; an adjusting lever 231 connected to a middle portion of the shaft 235 and extending to the outside of the housing 102; and a stopper 232 with a spring 234 installed thereon and connected to the angle adjusting gear 233.

This embodiment of the position adjusting means 100 constituted as above will now be described as to its actions referring FIGs. 6a and 6b.

The contact supporting means 120 of this position adjusting means 100 is contacted to below the nose, and then, the two inner pressing pieces 111 are inserted into the nostrils. Then if the angle adjusting lever 231 is manipulated, the inner pressing pieces ill of the supporting bars 113 are pivoted. Thus the inner pressing pieces 111 pushes up the upper nasal ceiling. Therefore, the nose neatly protrudes, and the snoring is prevented, because the nasal cavity is expanded.

FIG. 7 illustrates another embodiment of the apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 7a is a perspective view. FIG. 7b is a partly cut-out side view. FIG. 7c is a partly cut-out side view showing a using state.

As shown in these drawings, an elastic supporting bar 300 including the inner pressing pieces 111 and the supporting bars 113 is integrally formed for making the nose protrude neatly, and for preventing the snoring.

The elastically supporting bars 113 are bent in a V shape to form a bent part 115. The elastic supporting bar 300 is bent approximately in a V shape, and is provided with a supporting part 301 and an elastically supporting part 302. It is further provided with a bent part 303. The supporting part 301 and the elastically supporting part 302 are provided with gripping parts 304 and 305 respectively. The supporting part 301 may be attached with a pad gently curved suitably to the portion between the nose and the upper lip.

This embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention constituted as above will now be described as to its actions referring to FIGs. 7a to 7c.

In the case where this embodiment is used, the both gripping parts 304 and 305 are gripped by hand to press the supporting part 301 and the elastically supporting part 302 toward each other. Then the inner pressing pieces 111 are inserted into the nostrils as shown in FIG. 7c. Then the gripping is released, so that the elastically supporting part 302 and the supporting part 301 of the elastic supporting bar 300 would be restored. Thus the inner pressing pieces 111 are inserted into the upper nasal ceiling, with the result that the nasal ceiling is lifted up. Consequently, the nose is made to protrude neatly, and the snoring is prevented. FIG. 8 illustrates still another embodiment of the apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 8a is a frontal view and a partial plan view. FIG. 8b is a partly cut-out side view showing a using state.

As shown in these drawings, this embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention includes: a pair of inner pressing pieces 111 attached to tips of supporting bars 113, for raising the nose top and for preventing the snoring; a pair of bent parts 115 formed inside the supporting parts 113; a pair of supporting posts 401 integrally formed with the supporting bars 113; a pair of shaft retaining parts 403 formed on the tops of the supporting bars 113; and a position adjusting device 410 receiving the lower end portions of the supporting bars 113 and the supporting posts 401 to make it possible to adjust the gaps of the supporting bars 113 and the supporting posts 401.

Side protuberances 421 of a nose top supporting device 420 are inserted into the shaft retaining parts 403, so that the nose supporting device 420 would be rotatable. A contact supporting pad 402 is attached on the middle of the supporting posts 401, for being contacted to below the nose. This embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention constituted as above will now be described as to its actions referring to FIGs. 8a to 8b.

In the case where this embodiment is used, the inner pressing pieces 111 are inserted into the nostrils as shown in FIG. 8b. Then the contact supporting pad 402 is contacted to below the nose, and the nose top supporting device 420 is contacted upon the nose. Then the adjusting device 410 is manipulated to adjust the height of the supporting bars 113, thereby making the inner pressing pieces 111 inserted into the upper nasal ceiling.

Under this condition, if the adjusting device 410 is moved toward the supporting pad 402, the height of the inner pressing pieces 111 is lowered. On the other hand, if the adjusting device 410 is moved toward the nose top supporting device 420, the height of the inner pressing pieces ill is raised.

The adjusting device 410 is disposed correspondingly with an irregular part 404 of the supporting post 401, and therefore, once the position of the adjusting device 410 is adjusted, its position is stably maintained without departure.

Further, a magnet may be installed on the nose top supporting device 413 like the magnetic underquilt or the magnetic necklace.
