PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a snore preventer which is as simple as possible and to solve such problems that it is meaningless that a user physically gets a burden or sacrifices sound sleep though snowing is partly caused by having the respiratory tract closed by the tongue and lots of ways are considered for pushing the lower jaw to the front or moving the tongue intermittently.SOLUTION: The tongue effortlessly tangles in a small ring of silicone rubber in the oral cavity side of the front teeth, the tongue is guided to a projection of a shaft in the ring side made by connecting with a holder in the lower lip side, intermittently moves and the respiratory tract is prevented from closing. The groove shaft connecting the ring and the holder is tilted, the lower teeth project forward a little by the occlusion of front teeth and synergistic effect for preventing snoring can be expected.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】いびきは舌が気道を塞ぐのが原因の一つと言われ、下顎を前面に出したり、舌を断続的に動かすことを目的に多くの対処法が考えられているが、身体的に負担を強いたり、安眠を犠牲にしては意味がなく、できるだけ簡単なものが望ましい。【解決手段】前歯の口腔内側のシリコーンゴム製の小さなリングに舌が無理なく絡み、下唇側のホルダーがつながって出来たリング側との軸の突起に舌が誘われ、断続的に動くことで、気道を塞ぐのを防いでいる。またリングとホルダーをつなぐ溝の軸に傾斜をもたせ、前歯の噛み合わせで下歯がやや前面にせり出る形になり、いびき防止の相乗効果が期待できる。【選択図】図1
