Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Blowing nozzle Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a blowing tip, intended to be partially introduced into the mouth of a user so as to partially or completely receive the breath of a user.
[0002] The invention finds a preferred, and non-limiting, application in abdominal rehabilitation, perineal rehabilitation, diaphragmatic rehabilitation. The invention also helps to combat certain psychological, respiratory, vertebral, abdominal, digestive, pelvic, perineal and postural pathologies.
[0003] Indeed, good breathing management in humans is essential and carrying out exercises using a dedicated tool allows for a better understanding of the mechanism of active breathing and in particular allows certain parts of the human body to be strengthened. State of the art
[0004] It is thus known from the prior art to use breath in particular as a parameter for abdominal and perineal rehabilitation after childbirth.
[0005] Breath control in abdominal and perineal rehabilitation generally requires being accompanied by a third party and / or a person from the medical profession in order to guide the rehabilitation exercises. Rehabilitation after independent childbirth is therefore made complex and conditional on the presence of a third party.
[0006] Furthermore, this method remains artisanal and the performance of muscular / respiratory movements is conditioned solely by the user's perception. The effectiveness is therefore variable from one user to another. Summary of the invention
[0007] The technical problem underlying the invention therefore consists of providing a blowing tip making it possible to channel a user's breathing while helping the user to adopt physiologically beneficial actions.
[0008] For this purpose, the present invention relates to a blowing tip intended to be partially introduced into the mouth of a user, the blowing tip being elongated and extending in a direction of extension, the blowing tip comprising:
[0009] - a proximal part which is intended to be partially introduced into the mouth of the user and extending from a proximal end of the blowing tip, the proximal portion being tubular and comprising a proximal inner surface and a proximal outer surface,
[0010] - a distal portion that extends to a distal end of the tip of blowing, the distal portion being tubular and comprising a distal inner surface and a distal outer surface,
[0011] - a longitudinal passage channel extending from the proximal end of the blowing tip to the distal end of the blowing tip, the longitudinal passage channel being intended to channel air blown by the user from the proximal end of the blowing tip, the longitudinal passage channel being delimited at least in part by the proximal internal surface and the distal internal surface,
[0012] the proximal internal surface being generally cylindrical, and the distal internal surface being generally frustoconical and converging towards the distal end.
[0013] Thus, the blowing tip according to the invention makes it possible to exhale through the blowing tip in order to act on the various organs of the body and in particular the abdominals and the diaphragm.
[0014] In particular, the blowing tip maintains a laminar flow of the air flow inside the blowing tip, this allowing abdominal contraction during a phase of breathing but also passive relaxation of the user's diaphragm. Thus, the blowing tip simply and effectively performs a protocol favorable to abdominal and perineal rehabilitation after childbirth.
[0015] The blowing tip may further have one or more of the following features, which may be taken alone or in combination.
[0016] According to one embodiment of the invention, the proximal internal surface is substantially frustoconical and converges towards the distal end at an apex angle of between 0° and 2°, and for example approximately 1°.
[0017] According to one embodiment of the invention, the proximal portion comprises at least one annular groove located on the proximal external surface of the proximal portion.
[0018] According to one embodiment of the invention, the number of annular grooves is between two and twelve, and more particularly between four and ten, and for example six annular grooves.
[0019] According to one embodiment of the invention, the annular grooves are grouped two by two. The blowing nozzle may for example comprise three series of two annular grooves.
[0020] According to one embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal passage channel has, at the proximal end of the blowing nozzle, an internal diameter of between 4 mm and 8 mm, and advantageously between 5 mm and 7 mm, and for example approximately 5.6 mm.
[0021] According to one embodiment of the invention, the proximal part is generally cylindrical and has an external diameter of between 7 mm and 11 mm, and advantageously between 8 mm and 10 mm, and for example approximately 8.6 mm.
[0022] According to one embodiment of the invention, the distal internal surface has an apex angle of between 2.5 degrees and 3.6 degrees, and advantageously between 2.9 degrees and 3.3 degrees, and for example approximately 3.1 degrees.
[0023] According to one embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal passage channel has, at the distal end of the blowing nozzle, an internal diameter of between 2 mm and 3 mm, and for example approximately 2.5 mm, which corresponds to an air passage section of 4.91 mm2.
[0024] According to one embodiment of the invention, the distal external surface is of substantially frustoconical shape and converges towards the distal end of the blowing tip.
[0025] According to one embodiment of the invention, the distal external surface has an apex angle of between 5 degrees and 9 degrees, and advantageously between 6 degrees and 8 degrees, and for example approximately 7.2 degrees.
[0026] According to one embodiment of the invention, the mass of the blowing tip is between 2 grams and 5 grams, and advantageously between 3 grams and 4 grams, and is for example approximately 3.5 grams.
[0027] According to one embodiment of the invention, the value of the angle at the apex of the distal external surface is strictly greater than the value of the angle at the apex of the distal internal surface.
[0028] According to one embodiment of the invention, the length of the blowing nozzle is between 80 mm and 100 mm, and advantageously between 85 mm and 95 mm, and is for example approximately 92 mm.
[0029] According to one embodiment of the invention, the length of the proximal part is between 40 mm and 60 mm, and advantageously between 45 mm and 65 mm, and is for example approximately 49.75 mm.

[0037] Figures 1 to 3 represent a blowing tip 1 intended to be partially introduced into the mouth of a user.
[0038] The blowing nozzle 1 is elongated and extends in an extension direction D. The length of the blowing nozzle 1 may for example be between 80 mm and 100 mm, and advantageously between 85 mm and 95 mm, and is for example approximately 92 mm.
