Description

DESCRIPTION TITLE: CONCENTRATION AID DEVICE [Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a device to aid concentration, but also isolation, for any person of any age (child, adolescent or adult) who either has difficulty concentrating or simply wants to isolate themselves, especially in an enclosed space and when there is noise or agitation around them, to carry out a personal activity.

[0002] In particular, telling someone to "focus" often doesn't make sense to them, especially children, and so it's necessary to have tools to help them focus, especially when they're learning the activity they need to focus on. [Technical background]

[0003] To date, there are four types of devices to help a person concentrate on an activity:

[0004] - or noise-cancelling headset type devices as taught in patent application KR20150028792A of 2015 and which improve concentration, on the one hand by preventing disturbance to neighboring people because the sound generated from inside the device is not transferred to the outside, and on the other hand by blocking outside noise to provide an environment suitable for concentrating without being disturbed by outside noise;

[0005] - either glasses or headbands as taught in patent application JPH0990285A describing glasses provided with lateral obstacles to narrow the right and left visual angles, or application JPH0990865A describing a headband also equipped with semi-circular lateral obstacles in the shape of earphones which narrow the left and right visual angles to focus a student's attention forward and also prevent the student from cheating during an exam;

[0006] - either aids for teaching concentration based on specific and complex games or equipment attracting and capturing the attention of people and / or children as described in the applications for utility certificates CN215895737 or CN208954409;

[0007] - or finally removable concentration screens made up of 3 panels (they can therefore be foldable) which are placed on a table or desk to temporarily create a quiet U-shaped work space, minimizing sound and visual distractions to facilitate the concentration of the person, such as a student, who places his head in the space thus created between the two side panels which form the branches of the U.

[0008] All these known devices certainly allow, each in their own way, a person to concentrate on a personal activity but either they are complex and therefore expensive, or, if they certainly help with concentration, the person cannot do any other activity than that which the device itself offers, or they do not satisfy the two criteria necessary for good concentration, namely silence and visual isolation so as not to be distracted by agitation surrounding the person who wants to concentrate.

[0009] The state of the art can also be illustrated by the teachings of document WO2011 / 137463, which discloses a resting blindfold for a traveler that completely covers the eyes in order to block light from the traveler's eyes, and which includes means for attenuating sound; the objective being to isolate the senses of sight and hearing to facilitate rest and falling asleep. Thus, this blindfold is in no way suitable for carrying out activities. [Summary of the invention]

[0010] The problem then arises of having a simple, and therefore inexpensive, device that helps anyone to concentrate on a personal activity, in particular when learning or performing a specific task independent of the device itself, such as reading or writing for a child, and requiring isolation from their environment, both audio and visual; moreover, the device also aims to address the problem of the difficulty of making other people around the person understand that they need calm and silence to concentrate.

[0011] A solution to the problem posed is a concentration aid device for assisting the concentration of any person, and in which the concentration aid device comprises a headband capable of surrounding the forehead and head of that person, which headband has an inner face intended to be positioned on the forehead and temples of the person and an opposite outer face, and comprising: a median notch intended to be arranged in front of the eyes of the person; two lobes surrounding on either side of said notch, intended to be placed against the ears of the person and to cover them; and in which the concentration aid device comprises a support strip which is positioned on the inner face of the headband at least above the notch median and which allows the headband to be moved away from the person's forehead, so that said support band allows, with the median notch, to clear a field of vision towards the front, which field of vision is restricted laterally by the two lobes which form two eyecups capable of laterally limiting the field of vision.

[0012] Thus, once worn by the person, the median notch provided in the headband is located in front of the eyes (i.e. opposite the eyes), and at the same time this headband is moved away from the forehead thanks to the support strip, thus jointly opening the field of vision. Indeed, the support strip makes it possible to create a space between the headband and the eyes, and the median notch makes it possible to open the field of vision in this space. It is quite clear that this median notch clears the field of vision in the headband, while restricting it to the limits given by the shape and dimensions of this median notch.

[0013] It is also quite clear that the median notch defines a notched part (therefore empty of material) in the headband, and when it is written that the median notch is arranged in front of the eyes, this means that it is the notched part (and therefore the empty space) which is arranged in front of the eyes. In other words, considering that the notched part is delimited by an upper edge, then this upper edge is placed above the axis of gaze, the person's eyes being aligned with this axis of gaze. This median notch is also delimited by lateral edges (on the right and left) which descend below this axis of gaze and form the edges of the lobes, on either side of the median notch.

[0014] Furthermore, the lobes will limit this field of vision, and more generally it is the edges (or ridges) of the median notch which will limit this field of vision laterally (towards the right and to the left) and upwards. Thus, this clearing of the field of vision, within the limit given by the median notch, will allow the person to carry out an activity (such as reading, writing, drawing, etc.) while being isolated in a sort of visual tunnel.

[0015] The present invention further addresses the entire problem posed by allowing any person wishing to concentrate on a personal activity to have a simple, inexpensive device which helps them, in particular when learning or applying a specific task independent of the device itself, to isolate themselves from their environment both acoustically, thanks to the lobes and possibly the pads covering the ears, and visually, thanks to the lateral lobes forming blinders which limit the field of vision by only allowing the said person to look in front of them.

[0016] The present invention thus proposes to the person wishing to concentrate on a personal activity to "put themselves in their bubble" during this activity, which requires concentration, by putting on their head a device according to the invention.

[0017] The present invention also stimulates the learning of concentration because the use of such a device creates an automatism so that the person can concentrate even without this device after a learning phase with it: in the absence of this tool they will in fact have the reflex to put their hands at the level of their temples to reduce their field of vision.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the strip according to the invention is made up of: - on the one hand by a piece made from a flexible sheet of elongated shape, narrower in width in the middle, constituting the notch, and wider on either side of it, constituting the lobes capable of covering the person's ears, - on the other hand by a fixing system securing the two ends of the part and capable of holding it around the person's head.

[0019] This is a particularly advantageous achievement, as it is based on a thin, flexible sheet, which can be easily manufactured at a lower cost.

[0020] According to another characteristic of the invention, the headband includes on its external face at least one term expressing silence, such as the word "shh", in order to make others understand that the person wearing the device needs isolation: the other people thus know that this person wants to concentrate and must respect the silence, which meets one of the objectives of the invention.

[0021] According to one feature, the flexible sheet is made of plastic material.

[0022] According to another feature, the fastening system joining the two ends of the piece is of adjustable length, to allow adjustment to the person's head.

[0023] In a particular embodiment, the concentration aid device comprises flexible pads at the lobes, positioned on the internal face of the headband.

[0024] In other words, the lobes may have on their internal face flexible pads, such as foam pads, which may for example be added or removed using, for example, a two-part self-gripping attachment with hooks and loops, of the "Velcro" type, in order to best block the ears of the person wearing the device and thus limit the latter being disturbed by external noise.

[0025] According to one possibility, the concentration aid device includes a notch capable of receiving a label for personalizing the device.

[0026] In a particular embodiment, the support strip has a thickness of between 1 and 4 centimeters, and for example between 1.5 and 2.5 centimeters.

[0027] Such thickness allows the headband to be moved far enough apart to clear the field of vision, while maintaining this isolating effect for the person.

[0028] Alternatively, the support strip is made at least partially of foam. Thus, the foam support strip, which comes into contact with the forehead, has a flexibility that helps improve comfort.

[0029] Alternatively, the strip has a lower edge in which the central notch is formed, and an upper edge opposite the lower edge and along which the support strip is arranged.

[0030] Alternatively, the median notch is delimited by an upper ridge and two lateral ridges adjacent to the two respective lobes.

[0031] In an advantageous embodiment, the upper edge has a length of between 8 and 12 centimeters; such a length makes it possible to cover the distance between the eyes.

[0032] This length of the upper ridge is measured in a longitudinal orientation parallel to an axis of gaze; such an axis of gaze being the axis passing through the centers of the person's two eyes. The upper ridge can be straight or curved.

[0033] According to one characteristic, the two side edges each have a length of between 5 and 10 centimeters.

[0034] This length of the lateral edges allows the lobes to fall sufficiently low below the axis of view, in order to promote the desired tunnel effect.

[0035] According to one characteristic, the median notch is delimited by a curved or incurved edge line and which is generally shaped like an upside-down "U".

[0036] According to another characteristic, the lobes each have a width between 10 and 20 centimeters, and for example between 13 and 18 centimeters.

[0037] Such a width, measured in a vertical orientation in position on the person, promotes isolation by falling at the level of the cheeks, below the cheekbones, on either side of the median notch.

[0038] The invention also relates to a use of a concentration aid device according to the invention, for assisting a person in concentrating, wherein the headband surrounds the forehead and head of that person, positioning the median notch in front of the person's eyes and positioning the support band against the forehead so as to move the headband away from the person's forehead and to clear a field of vision towards the front, which field of vision is restricted laterally by the two lobes.

[0039] In an advantageous use, the median notch is delimited by an upper edge, the person's eyes are aligned on a gaze axis, and said headband is positioned on the person's head so that the upper edge is positioned above the gaze axis.

[0040] Advantageously, the upper edge is positioned at a given distance above the axis of view, which distance is at most 3 centimeters, and for example between 1 and 2 centimeters.

[0041] Such a distance helps maintain a restricted field of vision, thus providing the desired tunnel effect. Indeed, when the person lowers their head to concentrate on an activity at the table (for example, reading, writing, coloring, drawing, etc.), this upper edge blocks vision at the top and promotes the desired tunnel effect. [Brief description of the figures]

[0042] Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the reading of the detailed description which follows for the understanding of which one will refer to the appended figures, without these being a limit to the scope of the invention for which other embodiments are possible.

[0043] For the description of the invention and the understanding thereof, the vertical, longitudinal and transverse orientations according to the V, L, T references indicated in the figures, the longitudinal L and vertical V axes of which extend in the plane of Figures 1 and 2, will be adopted, without limitation, by convention and without limiting reference to other references such as terrestrial gravity:

[0044] - the longitudinal orientation L is that of the alignment of the eyes of the person who wants to concentrate, and also defining the side positioning as that on the side of the person following this longitudinal orientation as represented in figure 5, this longitudinal orientation being considered as horizontal in the situation where the person stands straight with the head aligned on a vertical axis,

[0045] - the vertical orientation V is the one perpendicular to the previous one in the plane of Figures 1 and 2 (and defining positions such as upper, lower, above, below...),

[0046] - the transverse orientation T, also defining the internal positioning, is that facing the person who wants to concentrate and the external positioning is that opposite to the previous one, that is to say facing the front of the person, and then defining the front positioning as that facing the latter as shown in Figure 4 and the device according to the invention as shown in Figure 3, while the back positioning is that opposite to the front positioning.

[0047] So : Figure 1 is a schematic front view of an exemplary embodiment of a device of the invention in the open, flat position, before its positioning around the head of a person who wants to concentrate or who is asked to concentrate; Figure 2 is a schematic back view of the exemplary embodiment of a device of the invention according to Figure 1; Figure 3 is a schematic perspective front view of the same embodiment of a device of the invention as in Figures 1 and 2 but in the closed position as it appears when positioned around the head of a person who wants to concentrate or who is asked to concentrate, as in Figures 4 and 5; Figure 4 is a schematic perspective front view of the same embodiment of a device of the invention as in Figures 1 to 3 in the closed position as in Figure 3 and positioned around the head of a person who wants to concentrate or who is asked to concentrate; Figure 5 is a schematic perspective side view of the same embodiment of a device of the invention as in Figures 1 to 4 in the closed position and positioned as in Figure 4 around the head of a person who wants to concentrate or who is asked to concentrate; Figure 6 is a view of the device equivalent to that of Figure 1, but without the inscriptions and pictograms; Figure 7 is a view of the device equivalent to that of Figure 3, but without the inscriptions and pictograms; Figure 8 is a view of the device equivalent to that of Figure 2, but partial, accompanied by a sectional view along the AA axis; Figure 9 is a view of the device equivalent to that of Figure 5, but without the inscriptions and pictograms, in a situation on a person of whom we see by transparency the left eye, the left ear and the forehead, as well as the support band which serves to move away from the forehead; Figure 10 is a view of the device equivalent to that of Figure 4, but without the inscriptions and pictograms, in a situation on a person whose two eyes, as well as the pads and the support strip, are visible through transparency. [Detailed description of an exemplary embodiment of the invention]

[0048] In this description, identical, similar or analogous elements will be designated by the same reference numerals.

[0049] The concentration aid device 100 for helping the concentration of any person 12 comprises, whatever the embodiment of the invention, a headband 1 capable of surrounding the forehead and head 13 of this person 12 and comprising: - a median notch 3 intended to be placed in front of the eyes of the person 12 and clearing his field of vision 10 towards the front, - two lobes 4i, 4? surrounding said notch 3 on either side, intended to be placed against the ears of the person 12 and to cover them if not to block them, and forming two eyecups capable of laterally limiting the field of vision 10 of this person 12 according to an angle of at most 80° centered on either side of the median plane of the person 12 and therefore of the device.

[0050] The median notch 3 is delimited by an upper edge 30 extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal orientation L, and by two lateral edges 31, 32 arranged respectively to the right and to the left on either side of the median plane of the person 12. The lateral edges 31, 32 form edges of the lobes 4i, 42. The upper edge 30 and the two lateral edges 31, 32 together define a curved or curved edge line which is generally shaped like an upside-down “U”.

[0051] The upper edge 30 may be straight or curved, and it extends between two bends 33, 34 which form curvatures between the upper edge 30 and the respective lateral edges 31, 32. The lateral edges 31, 32 extend in directions inclined relative to the longitudinal orientation L at angles of between 90 and 135 degrees.

[0052] As illustrated in Figure 7, the upper edge 30 has a length L30, measured along the longitudinal orientation L (between the two elbows 33, 34), which can be between 8 and 12 centimeters. The lateral edges 31, 32 each have a length L31, L32, which is the same for the two lateral edges 31, 32, and which can be between 5 and 10 centimeters.

[0053] In the description of the exemplary embodiment which follows, the strip 1 according to the invention is made up of: - on the one hand by a part 11 made from a flexible sheet, in a plastic type material, of elongated shape in the longitudinal direction L defined previously, of width, in the direction V, narrower h in its middle, constituting the notch, and wider I4 on either side of it, constituting the lobes 4i, 4? capable of covering the ears of the person and forming two blinkers, - on the other hand by a fixing system 2 securing the two ends of the part 11 and capable of holding it around the head of the person 12.

[0054] And in other possible embodiments not described here, the headband 1 can for example be preformed in different sizes to correspond to given head sizes as for hats and helmets: the device 100 is then positioned on the head of the person 12 by putting it on and placing it over it like a hat or a helmet.

[0055] The headband 1 has an inner face 15 intended to be positioned on the forehead and temples of the person 12, and an outer face 16 opposite the inner face 15 and intended to be visible from the outside. For the remainder of the description, the outer face 15 of the headband 1 is comparable to the outer face of the part 11 and to the outer face of the device 10, and likewise the inner face 16 of the headband 1 is comparable to the inner face of the part 11 and to the inner face of the device 10.

[0056] The lobes 4i, 4? each have a width 14 (which corresponds to the greatest width of the part 11 as described above), where this width 14 can be between 10 and 20 centimeters, and for example between 13 and 18 centimeters. The band has a width 13 above the median notch 3 (which corresponds to the narrowest width of the part 11 as described above), which can be between 2 and 8 centimeters.

[0057] The headband 1 has a lower edge 17 in which the median notch 3 is formed, and where this lower inner edge 17 is turned downwards, towards the nose of the person 12, and it has an upper edge 18 opposite the lower edge 17 and which turns upwards, towards the forehead of the person 12. For the remainder of the description, the lower edge 17 of the headband 1 can be compared to the lower edge of the part 11, and the upper edge 118 of the headband 1 can be compared to the upper edge 18 of the part 11.

[0058] Figure 1 schematically represents a view of the external face 16 of an exemplary embodiment of a device 100 of the invention in which the strip 1 is constituted by a part 11 made from a flexible sheet of elongated shape in the open flat position, and comprises on its external face 16 at least the inscription of at least one term 81, 82 expressing silence, such as the word “shh” represented on the figures as an example, and even twice this term: in this case these are arranged on either side of at least the inscription of a pictogram 9 also expressing silence, such as a “smiley” 9s as shown in the figures, and positioned above the median notch 3.

[0059] As shown in this figure 1, the two lobes 4i, 42 may each include, on their external face 16, the inscription of a graphic 7i, 72 expressing concentration, either as signifying at least partial occultation of the view, such as a representation of an open hand with the back of the latter turned towards the front as shown by way of example and: - either these graphics 7i, 72 are necessarily opaque and are even associated with opaque covers located below if on the one hand the flexible sheet constituting the part 11 is transparent and on the other hand if the height of these graphics 7i, 72 is not sufficient for the lobes 4i, 42 to play their role as blinkers, - either when the part 11 is itself opaque, these graphics 7i, 72 can only be stylized and do not need to be associated with additional opaque covers as otherwise shown in the figures.

[0060] As shown, other pictograms 9i, 92, such as smileys, of the same type as that positioned above the median notch 3 but preferably of smaller dimensions, can also be inscribed on each lobe 4i, 42 towards their lower edge 17 and below the graphics 7i, 72 expressing concentration, such as hands.

[0061] Said inscriptions can be printed directly on the part 11 or printed on stickers or sheets which are then stuck or laminated on this part 11.

[0062] Figure 2 represents a schematic back view (otherwise from the side of the internal face 15) of the same embodiment of the device 100 according to Figure 1: this internal face 15 of the headband 1 is the one intended to be positioned on the forehead and temples of the person 12. As visible in this Figure 2, the device 100 comprises a support strip 5 which is positioned on this internal face 15 of the headband 1 (or of the part 11) and which is located towards the upper edge 18 of the headband 1, above at least the notch 3. With reference to Figures 8 and 9, this support strip 5 has a thickness E5, for example between 1 and 4 centimeters, and in particular between 1.5 and 2.5 centimeters.

[0063] Thus, this support strip 5 makes it possible to move the headband 1 away from the forehead of the person 12, by a distance of separation equivalent to the thickness E5. In this way, the support strip 5 makes it possible not to have the headband 1 pressed against the forehead and therefore very close to the eyes, and therefore allows, with the median notch 3, to clear the field of vision 10 towards the front.

[0064] This support strip 5 is preferably made of foam in order to be compressible, and allows on the one hand more comfort of contact between the device 100 and the forehead of the person 12 and on the other hand to move the headband 1 away from the forehead. This support strip 5 extends along the upper edge 18 of the headband 1, over a given length which can be between 5 and 15 centimeters.

[0065] Furthermore, the device 100 may comprise, in a preferred embodiment, flexible pads 6 at the level of the Iobes4i, 4?; these pads 6 may be glued or they may be added or removed, for example, by means of a two-part self-gripping attachment using hooks and loops, of the “Velcro” type, in order to best block the ears of the person wearing the device.

[0066] These pads 6 may be made of foam and are intended to be positioned against the ears of the person 12, they make it possible to reduce the perception of the surrounding noise that may be generated around the person 12. According to one possibility, these pads 6 are mounted on bases which hold the foam pads on the ears. These bases may be made of a plastic material, for example injected plastic.

[0067] The headband 1 comprises a fastening system 2 of any known type, securing the two ends of the part 11 of elongated shape, and of adjustable length. This fastening system 2 can be constituted, as shown in figures 1 and 2, of two parts 2i, 2? each fixed to the upper part of one end of this part 11 and capable of being connected together, once the device is positioned around the head 13 of the person 12, and behind this head by adjusting the length of this fastening system 2 to the size of the latter and to the desired tightening.

[0068] Figure 3 is a front perspective view of the exemplary embodiment of a device 100 shown in Figures 1 to 2 but in the closed position.

[0069] In Figures 4 and 10, a device 100 is illustrated in the closed position, also from the front, but this time around the head of a person 12 who wants to concentrate or who is asked to concentrate on a tabletop activity, for example to read a text 14 placed in front of them. In Figure 10, it is illustrated that, in use, the headband 1 is positioned on the head 13 of the person 12 so that the upper edge 30 is positioned above a gaze axis 120; the eyes of the person 12 being aligned with this gaze axis 120, which is parallel to the longitudinal orientation L. More precisely, the upper edge 30 is positioned at a given distance D2 above the axis of view 120, which distance D2 is at most 3 centimeters, and for example between 1 and 2 centimeters. This distance D2 is also illustrated in Figure 9.

[0070] In Figures 5 and 9, a device 100 is illustrated in the closed position and positioned as in Figures 4 and 10 around the head of the person 12, but in side view to show what has been described previously as to the positioning of the lobes 4i, 4? on the ears of the person 12 and also constituting blinders limiting the field of vision 10 to an opening just sufficient to read the text 14, and also as to the spacing of the headband 1 with respect to the forehead obtained thanks to the support strip 5 of thickness E5.

[0071] Finally, the device 100 may include a notch, not shown in the figures, capable of receiving a label for personalizing this device, such as the first name of the person 12 who uses it.
