Sensory mouthpiece for soothing oral stimulation with adjustable airflow resistance and interchangeable sensor tip

Abstract

A cigar-shaped device for air inhalation and oral stimulation, characterized in that the device has an elongated tube (1) with an air channel, at one end of which a sensory end piece (3) is arranged, wherein the sensory end piece has a surface designed for stimulating the lips and / or the oral cavity.

Description

1. Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a mouth device for oral stimulation, in particular for soothing sensory use by sucking, moving in the oral cavity and optional intake of air.

[0002] The device can be used for relaxation, stress reduction, or sensory self-regulation. 2. State of the art:

[0003] It is known that rhythmic oral activities, such as sucking or holding an object in the mouth, can have a calming effect on the human organism.

[0004] Examples include pacifiers in infants or various oral substitute activities in adults, such as chewing on a pen, holding various objects in the mouth, including cigars, even without lighting them.

[0005] Therapeutic devices are also known that slow down the air intake tubes, which have a calming effect. 3. Object of the invention

[0006] The object of the invention is to provide a device that a pleasant oral stimulation is enabled can produce a calming sensory effect a controlled airflow during vacuuming is enabled and possesses a varying sensory surface structure.

[0007] A wearable surface of the mouthpiece (for licking) can be designed as a sweet, or preferably without any sweetness at all, but containing herbs, medicinal substances or dietary supplements. 4. Solution to the task

[0008] The problem is solved by a mouth device having the features of claim 1.

[0009] The device includes an elongated tube (1), an outer casing (2), a sensory end piece (3), a throttle element (4) for adjusting the airflow resistance and sensory fiber elements (5). 5. Brief description of the drawings Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the mouthpiece with a soluble sensory end piece. Fig. Figure 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the sensory end piece with fiber carrier. 6. Examples of Implementation Example 1

[0010] The device has an elongated tube (1) which forms an air channel.

[0011] The tube can be made of metal, plastic, or another suitable material.

[0012] A housing body (2) is arranged around the tube, which gives the device an ergonomic shape.

[0013] At the end of the device there is a sensory end piece (3) which comes into contact with the lips and tongue during use. Example 2

[0014] The sensory end piece (3) can be made of a partially soluble material.

[0015] During use, the surface is partially worn away by contact with saliva and mechanical stress.

[0016] Insoluble fibers (5) may be embedded in the material of the end piece.

[0017] The partial dissolution of the material increasingly exposes the fibers, creating an irregular microstructured surface.

[0018] This structure generates enhanced sensory stimulation. Example 3 (Fig. 2)

[0019] In an alternative embodiment, the sensor end piece comprises a carrier body (6).

[0020] Insoluble fibers (5) are attached to this carrier body (6).

[0021] The carrier body containing the fibers is surrounded by a soluble coating. During use, this coating partially dissolves.

[0022] This causes the fibers (5) to increasingly protrude from the surface, creating a variable sensory structure. Airflow control

[0023] A throttle element (4) can be arranged inside the tube (1).

[0024] This element limits or regulates the airflow when air is drawn in.

[0025] This creates a defined flow resistance.

[0026] Such resistance can support a calming breathing and sucking motion.
