The present disclosure generally relates to a portable hand-held breathing exercise apparatus to vary the resistance a user experiences when both inhaling and exhaling through the apparatus.
It is known that by providing resistance to inspiration and expiration, pulmonary muscles are strengthened and developed, thereby allowing a freer and greater exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Persons suffering from lung ailments, healthy persons, and athletes can all improve their pulmonary efficiency through inspiration and expiration against resistance. It is also known that vibration or percussion of the air during inspiration or expiration can provide relief to the patient by mobilizing the mucous, facilitating the expectoration thereof.
The present invention comprises a breathing exercise apparatus having one or more of the features recited in the appended claims and/or one or more of the following features, which alone or in any combination may comprise patentable subject matter:
A breathing exercise apparatus may comprise a chamber having a vent open to the atmosphere, a mouthpiece having an opening, a stationary first member positioned in the chamber between the opening in the mouthpiece and the vent, a movable second member positioned in the chamber adjacent the first member, and an actuator coupled to the second member and operable to move the second member with respect to the first member such that an aperture in the second member intermittently aligns with an aperture in the first member.
In some embodiments, the second member may be positioned between the first member and the opening in the mouthpiece. In some other embodiments, the second member may be positioned between the first member and the vent of the chamber. The vent may comprise a plurality of vents.
The first and second members may include complementarily-shaped frusto-conical surfaces. The aperture of the first member may comprise a first plurality of apertures and the aperture in the second member may comprise a second plurality of apertures. The plurality of apertures in the first member may be equal to the plurality of apertures in the second member. The apertures in the first and second members may have substantially the same shape. In some embodiments, the apertures in the first and second members may be trapezoidal in shape. In some other embodiments, the apertures in the first and second members may be triangular in shape.
In some embodiments, the second member may be translatable relative to the first member. The actuator may be configured to move the second member back-and-forth relative to the first member. In some other embodiments, the second member may be rotatable relative to the first member. The actuator may be configured to rotate the second member continuously in one direction relative to the first member. In such embodiments, the actuator may comprise a motor having a drive shaft coupled to the second member. The second member and the drive shaft may be substantially coaxial. The resistance to a user's breathing may cyclically vary as the second member is rotated relative to the first member. The aperture in the second member may at least partially align with the aperture in the first member for 25% of each cycle.
In some embodiments, a breathing therapy apparatus may comprise a chamber having a vent open to the atmosphere, a mouthpiece having an opening which is in fluid communication with the vent allowing a user to breathe through the chamber, a valve positioned in the chamber between the opening and the vent, and an actuator coupled to the valve to cyclically open and close an aperture in the valve.
Additional features, which alone or in combination with any other feature(s), such as those listed above, may comprise patentable subject matter and will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of various embodiments exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the embodiments as presently perceived.
The detailed description particularly refers to the accompanying figures in which:
An illustrative hand-held, portable breathing therapy apparatus 10 is shown in
In some embodiments, a mouthpiece may be integrally formed with the apparatus 10. In some other embodiments, a mouthpiece may be omitted. In such embodiments, the cylindrical portion 16 of the cap 12 having the opening 18 may serve as the mouthpiece. The cap 12 is coupled to a stationary member 24 which has a plurality of circumferentially-extending vents 26 formed in an outer wall thereof. The apparatus 10 includes a housing 28 comprising front and rear housing portions 70, 96. The lower portions of the front and rear housing portions 70, 96 define a downwardly-extending handle portion 30. As shown in
When the mouthpiece 20 is connected to the apparatus 10, a user can place the mouthpiece 20 in his or her mouth and breathe through the mouthpiece 20, which is in fluid communication with the atmosphere through a chamber 17 (
As shown in
The frusto-conical portion 54 of the rotating member 52 includes a plurality of through apertures 58 disposed therein. Similarly, the frusto-conical portion 56 of the stationary member 24 includes a plurality of apertures 60. In one embodiment of the apparatus 10, the number of apertures 58 in the rotating member 52 is the same as the number of apertures 60 in the stationary member 24. As shown in
When the frusto-conical portion 54 of the rotating member 52 is received in the frusto-conical portion 56 of the stationary member 24 as shown in
Referring to
As shown in
The gasket 88 is positioned within a cavity 92 of the front housing portion 70. The gasket 88 has a circumferential flange 94, which engages an end face 71 of the threaded portion 72 of the front housing portion 70 when the gasket 88 is positioned within the cavity 92. The front and rear housing portions 70, 96 are connected together to enclose the motor 74, as well as a control board 98 and a battery compartment 100. Each fastener 83 is disposed through an opening 73 in the mounting surface 76 of the front housing portion 70 and screwed into a threaded opening 81 in the rear housing portion 96 to secure the housing portions 70, 96 to one another. The fasteners 83 are illustratively embodied as flat-end screws in
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
During operation of the apparatus 10, the power switch 32 may be positioned into the “on” position, which causes the rotor 84 to begin rotating at the speed set by the speed control switch 34. Rotation of the rotor 84 is translated to the coupled rotating member 52. As the rotating member 52 rotates, the apertures 58 in the frusto-conical portion 54 of the rotating member 52 intermittently align with the apertures 60 in the frusto-conical portion 56 of the stationary member 24. As the user inhales, air is drawn into the chamber 17 through the vents 26. As the apertures 58 intermittently align with the apertures 60, the user will experience a cyclically-varying breathing resistance. The user will experience a similar resistance with exhaling. The interaction of the apertures 58, 60 is described in greater detail in regard to
As shown in
Referring to
As a user breathes through the mouthpiece 20, the rotation of the rotating member 52 with respect to the stationary member 24 cyclically aligns the apertures 58 in the frusto-conical portion 54 of the rotating member 52 with the apertures 60 in the frusto-conical portion 56 of the stationary member 24 to vary the breathing resistance experienced by the user. As illustrated in
As the apertures 58, 60 very in alignment with one another as shown in
As a user breathes through the apparatus 10, alignment of the apertures 58, 60 in the apparatus 10 results in a pressure characteristic plot as shown in
The pressure in the chamber 17 will decrease towards a pressure slightly above atmospheric designated as P2 in
