Embodiment Construction

[0017] The structure, making and using of the presently preferred embodiments are discussed in detail below. It should be appreciated, however, that the present invention provides many applicable inventive concepts that can be embodied in a wide variety of specific contexts. The specific embodiments discussed are merely illustrative of specific ways to make and use the invention, and do not limit the scope of the invention.

[0018] A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 1a-1f, with the figures providing the following views: 1a—right side, 1b—top, 1c—mouthpiece end, 1d—left side, 1e—closed end, and 1f—bottom. The various views may be referred to collectively herein simply as FIG. 1. Breathing exerciser 100 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a thick walled cylinder 102 with a center bore 104. The cylinder has a closed end 106. Resistance breathing holes 108, 110, 112 and 114 exist in the cylinder wall and penetrate all the way through the wall from the outside completely thro...

Abstract

Apparatus and method for a breathing exerciser for increasing breathing capacity and also optionally for increasing breathing rate control. A preferred embodiment comprises a tube-like structure, open at one end but closed at the other end. A reference breathing hole and resistance breathing holes through the side wall are present. The user places the open end of the tube at his lips, seals his lips around the open end, and breathes through the tube. As one or more holes are covered by the user's finger(s), the resistance to air flow and thus to breathing is changed.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 650,460, filed on Feb. 7, 2005, entitled Exerciser to Increase Breathing Ability, which application is hereby incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for increasing the breathing capacity of people, and method of forming thereof, and also in some applications for improving the control of the rate of airflow during breathing. BACKGROUND [0003] Many people could benefit from having an increased breathing capacity. The ability to breathe a larger volume of air during inhalation and / or exhalation can be very important for people in some activities. Such people would include musicians playing wind instruments, band members, vocalists, choir members, athletes, hikers, skiers, swimmers, martial arts students, some people with medical breathing problems, people who would like to be more physically fit, people who work long hours in an offi...
