噛挟み具とその使用方法Biting tool and how to use it

本発明は、口外れを抑制し長時間の噛挟みを行い易くする噛挟み具の提供と、その噛挟み具を利用し各種の作用を付与する機能器具や操作手段等を設けて使用する噛挟み具の使用方法に関する。 The present invention provides a biting tool that suppresses the mouth from coming off and facilitates long-term biting, and a bite that is used by providing a functional device, an operating means, or the like that uses the biting tool to impart various actions. Regarding how to use the sandwich.

従来、箸や丸棒を滑舌棒として横向きに銜えて行う滑舌トレーニング法は、イギリスシェイクスピア演劇練習から始まり、日本ではアナウンサの滑舌やビジネスマンの滑舌笑顔接遇教育活性等で実践される一方で、複式呼吸の促進や無呼吸症候群の改善並びに唾液分泌活性等の健康面でも効能があることが、非特許文献1やテレビ・ネット等に紹介され公知である。(例えば、非特許文献1中、福澤明・平林都氏提唱)。 Traditionally, the tongue training method, in which chopsticks and round bars are used sideways as a tongue stick, begins with the British Shakespeare drama practice, and is practiced in Japan as an announcer's tongue and a businessman's tongue smile hospitality education activity. On the other hand, it is known that it is effective in terms of health such as promotion of double breathing, improvement of apnea syndrome, and salivary secretion activity, which has been introduced in Non-Patent Document 1 and TV / net. (For example, proposed by Akira Fukuzawa and Miyako Hirabayashi in Non-Patent Document 1).

然しながら、真直な滑舌棒は口を開くと適正噛挟み姿勢が崩れて口外れ落下し易いこと、及び舌の動きを邪魔するため種々の付加機能を設けて行う長時間の噛挟み使用が困難であり、この課題を新規的に解消する各種の噛挟み具(この噛挟みツールを登録商標名でハニポと言う)と、これを使用して行う各種噛挟みトレーニング(以下単にハニポトレーニングと呼称しハニトレと略称する)時に、アラン幸福論で提唱のスマイル効果や近年の脳科学で奨励される口角上げ運動等のニーズに応える、その具体技術と効能機能(以下単にハニトレ効果と言う)について提案した。
この噛挟み具は、左右の噛み部を接続する内側非噛み部を前方に向け湾曲させた舌動部を下前歯に沿って接当可能とし、舌の動きを自由にしながら接当を介し噛挟みトレーニング時の口外れを規制しようとするものである。(例えば、特許文献1・特許文献2・特許文献3等参照)
However, when the mouth is opened, the straight tongue stick loses its proper pinching posture and easily falls off the mouth, and it interferes with the movement of the tongue, so it is difficult to use it for a long time with various additional functions. Therefore, various biting tools that newly solve this problem (this biting tool is called Hanipo under the registered trademark name) and various biting training performed using this (hereinafter simply referred to as Hanipo training). At the time of (abbreviated as "Hanitre"), we propose the specific technology and efficacy (hereinafter simply referred to as "Hanitre effect") to meet the needs of the smile effect advocated by Alain on Happiness and the mouth angle raising exercise encouraged by brain science in recent years. did.
This biting tool makes it possible to engage the tongue moving part, which is curved with the inner non-biting part connecting the left and right biting parts facing forward, along the lower front teeth, and bites through the contact while freely moving the tongue. It is an attempt to regulate the tongue out during pinch training. (See, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, etc.)

さらに昨今では、上記効能を自律化する多様な噛挟み具の提供と同時に顔頭部を主とする五感に対し各種の機能作用を効果的に付与する機能器具とその使用方法の必要性が顕在化してきた。つまり、長時間の噛挟み使用を可能にする噛挟み具は、医治療やリハビリ分野並びに美容健康分野の他に、例えば、口に銜えて行う噛挟み動作や舌運動等の口動作によって、ロボットや端末機器並びに画面等各種の被操作体を遠隔操作(リモコン操作)する操作部として相乗的な使用を可能にすることが期待される。
この必要性を試みるとき、顎を上下又は左右に動かす噛み運動はもとより、特に口腔内で舌を所望又は特定方向に意識的に動かす運動を行い易くする噛挟み具の提供と、口腔内から被操作体を操作自在とする電子機器入力用端末デバイス技術や、外部情報を噛挟み具の噛挟みを介して身体に信号入力(触覚付与等)する触覚テクノロジ等の融合手段(最適操作部構造等)の提供が新たな課題になる。このための端末デバイス技術は、一例として特許文献4で示される内容が既に公知であり、これら技術と各界で開発中のリモコン技術や医療ケア技術他触覚テクノロジ等各種技術との融合が求められる。
Furthermore, in recent years, the need for functional devices and their usage methods that effectively impart various functional actions to the five senses, mainly the face and head, has become apparent at the same time as providing various biting tools that automate the above effects. It has become. In other words, the chewing tool that enables long-term chewing use is a robot that can be used by mouth movements such as biting movements and tongue movements performed by holding the mouth, in addition to the medical treatment and rehabilitation fields and beauty and health fields. It is expected to enable synergistic use as an operation unit for remote control (remote control operation) of various objects to be operated such as a terminal device and a screen.
When trying this need, we will provide a biting tool that facilitates the movement of the tongue to move consciously in the desired or specific direction, especially in the oral cavity, as well as the chewing movement that moves the jaw up and down or left and right, and the covering from the oral cavity. Fusion means (optimal operation unit structure, etc.) such as terminal device technology for inputting electronic devices that allows the operating body to be freely operated, and tactile technology that inputs external information to the body (giving a tactile sensation, etc.) through the biting tool. ) Will be a new issue. As an example of the terminal device technology for this purpose, the content shown in Patent Document 4 is already known, and it is required to integrate these technologies with various technologies such as remote control technology, medical care technology and other tactile technologies under development in various fields.

尚、滑舌棒等の噛挟み具を噛挟み使用する効能及び噛挟みトレーニング等の理解と技術促進に資するため、関連する医学等各分野の情報を次のように参考付記する。
1.近年子供たちの顎が弱くなっており、骨格形成及び咀嚼不足に伴う心配がある。
2.老化に伴う唾液分泌不足の意識的な改善に、使用容易な好適ツールがないことから放置されて、口腔乾燥症(ドライマウス)による風邪や肩首後こりを伴う。
3.障害のすそ野が大きい低位舌は、歯科的障害の他に口呼吸傾向になることから、睡眠時無呼吸症候群やドライマウス症候群による睡眠障害、及び歯周病の誘発並びに免疫力低下に伴う各種弊害を生ずるとされ、ために口輪筋及び舌筋等の口筋力強化ツールとしてマウスピース型や前歯前唇噛挟み型のトレーニンググッズが使用される。
一方で、舌筋トレーニングを自主的に行う上で、「あいうえべ体操」や「ベロは宝」・「パタカラ発声法」等の発声滑舌と舌出し顔筋運動が広く知られている。
4.「パタカラ発声法」は口唇トレーニングに伴い、口呼吸症状の改善や右脳血流活性による認知症(痴呆)の改善、子供の知力・情緒の育成に好適とされている。
5.滑舌棒等を利用した噛挟みトレーニングは、脳科学的な知見では顔筋や口筋運動により脳内血流を活性させ海馬への血流増加を促すため、集中力や学力向上と認知症予防等にも効果がある。病理学解剖学的な知見では鼻呼吸を促進し睡眠時無呼吸症候群の改善や唾液分泌を促進し各種免疫力の向上が期待される等である。
6.また脳研究と潜在意識研究等の知見によれば、「口角部を上げたり拡張する動作や意識は、脳にとっては笑顔・覚醒・爽快状態であり、いま幸せであると反射的に認知する。」とマスコミやテレビで報道されており、笑顔状態を持続させる重要性、及び滑舌筋や口輪筋並びに眼輪筋や鼻筋等の顔筋を鍛える必要性が、人の感覚感性を高め保持しアンチエイジングや幸せ感や脳の快楽反応上からも指摘され推奨されている。
7.一方、メンタルやリハビリ・ケア分野ではマインドフルネスが、「5感や意識をトレーニングによって磨いて感覚を広げる生き方をする。これによる気づきが自分をよく変える力になり、よい人生を創造する。」と言われ、ビジネスマン教育の新規的潮流になっている。さらに、この5感を司る感覚器官は顔に多く存在していることから、滑舌や顔筋を鍛えるツールとして噛挟み具を使用することが有効であると共に、近年開発された顔の筋トレに好適な顔ヨガとの融合トレーニングは、日本独自的なトレーニング具とトレーニング方法として上記各種課題の解決に繋がることが想定される。
In addition, in order to contribute to the understanding and technical promotion of the efficacy of pinching and using a pinching tool such as a tongue stick and pinching training, information on related fields such as medicine is added as a reference as follows.
1. 1. In recent years, children's jaws have become weak, and there are concerns about skeletal formation and insufficient chewing.
2. 2. The conscious improvement of saliva secretion deficiency associated with aging is left unattended due to the lack of suitable tools that are easy to use, and is accompanied by a cold due to xerostomia (dry mouth) and stiff shoulders.
3. 3. Since the lower tongue, which has a large base of disorder, tends to breathe in the mouth in addition to dental disorders, sleep disorders due to sleep apnea syndrome and dry mouth syndrome, and various adverse effects associated with induction of periodontal disease and weakened immunity. For this reason, mouthpiece type and anterior lip biting type training goods are used as tools for strengthening mouth muscles such as the orbicularis oris muscle and the tongue muscle.
On the other hand, in voluntarily performing tongue muscle training, vocal smooth tongue and tongue-out facial muscle exercises such as "aiuebe gymnastics", "Bello is a treasure", and "Patakara vocalization method" are widely known.
4. The "Patakara vocalization method" is said to be suitable for improving mouth breathing symptoms, dementia (dementia) due to right cerebral blood flow activity, and developing children's intelligence and emotions along with lip training.
5. According to brain science findings, biting training using a tongue stick activates blood flow in the brain by exercising the facial and mouth muscles and promotes an increase in blood flow to the hippocampus, which improves concentration and academic ability and dementia. It is also effective for prevention. Pathological and anatomical findings suggest that it promotes nasal respiration, improves sleep apnea syndrome, promotes saliva secretion, and improves various immunity.
6. In addition, according to the findings of brain research and subconscious research, "the movement and consciousness of raising and expanding the corner of the mouth is a smile, awakening, and refreshing state for the brain, and it is reflexively recognized that it is happy now. It is reported in the media and on TV, and the importance of maintaining a smiling state and the need to train facial muscles such as the tongue muscle, the muzzle muscle, the eye ring muscle, and the nose muscle enhance and maintain human consciousness. It has been pointed out and recommended from the viewpoint of anti-aging, happiness, and brain pleasure reaction.
7. On the other hand, in the fields of mental and rehabilitation care, mindfulness says, "We will improve our five senses and consciousness through training and live a life that expands our senses. This awareness will help us to change ourselves and create a good life." It is said that it has become a new trend in businessmen education. Furthermore, since many sensory organs that control these five senses are present in the face, it is effective to use a chewing tool as a tool for training the tongue and facial muscles, and the recently developed facial muscle training. It is expected that fusion training with facial yoga, which is suitable for the above, will lead to the solution of the above-mentioned various problems as a training tool and training method unique to Japan.

書籍「賢人の話し方」(株式会社幻冬舎発行)、ページ124,125、ページ142,143,146,147Book "Sage's Speaking" (published by Gentosha Co., Ltd.), pages 124, 125, pages 142, 143, 146, 147

上記特許文献1〜特許文献3に示される噛挟み具は、いずれも左右の噛み部を連結するU字状の舌動部を介し舌の上下方向の動きを自由にしながら、下前歯との接当を介して口外れを規制し噛み本体の口内での位置決め保持ができるため、比較的長時間の噛挟み使用を可能にする利点がある。
然しながら、上記噛挟み具は側面視において、舌動部を噛み部から略水平状に延長して前端部を下前歯に近接接当させるものであるため、口を開けたり舌を動かすと伸ばした舌先が常に舌動部に接触する違和感を有していること、及びベロ出し時や口を大きく開ける際に舌動部が下歯列を安易に乗り上げたり舌先に押されて噛挟み具の口外れを生じ易い欠点がある。従って、従来の噛挟み具1は、舌先回しや前伸ばし及び口唇から舌を勢いよく突出させるベロ出し等の舌運動を速やかに行うことができず、専ら噛挟み具として使用されるだけで用使方法が限定されるものであった。
The biting tools shown in Patent Documents 1 to 3 are in contact with the lower anterior teeth while freely moving the tongue in the vertical direction via a U-shaped tongue moving portion connecting the left and right biting portions. There is an advantage that it is possible to use the bite for a relatively long time because it is possible to control the disengagement of the mouth and hold the position of the bite body in the mouth.
However, since the above-mentioned biting tool extends the tongue moving part substantially horizontally from the biting part and brings the front end portion into close contact with the lower front teeth in the lateral view, it is extended when the mouth is opened or the tongue is moved. The tip of the tongue always touches the moving part of the tongue, and the moving part of the tongue easily rides on the lower dentition or is pushed by the tip of the tongue when the tongue is pulled out or the mouth is opened wide. There is a drawback that it is easy to come off. Therefore, the conventional biting tool 1 cannot promptly perform tongue movements such as turning the tip of the tongue, extending the front, and protruding the tongue vigorously from the lips, and is only used as a biting tool. The usage was limited.

さらに、特許文献4に示される、口腔内で操作する電子機器入力用端末デバイスの技術、舌の動きによってパソコン等の被操作体を人の不自由な部分を肩代わりして操作することができる利点があるが、操作性に伴う使用者の継続疲労を最小限にすることを目指しながらも十分ではなく、且つ口内での位置決めが不安定で煩雑な構造になる共に誤操作を低減することに困難性を伴う欠点がある。
つまり、上記操作部は半球形ドーム状のマウスピースを舌の上に直接的に載せて口前側で挟み支持した状態で、舌によってカーソル移動コントローラ(センサスイッチ)を操作するものであるため、例えば使用者が口を開けて挟み支持を弱くしたとき、マウスピースが不慮に動くことから操作手段の誤操作を伴い易い欠点と、誤操作防止のために常時的に口を閉じるための操作性維持に伴う早期継続疲労を生じると共に、使用に際し熟練を要するため誰でも簡単に使いこなすことができず、結果口腔型リモコン装置を普及し得ない等の問題がある。
Further, the technique of the terminal device for inputting an electronic device operated in the oral cavity, which is shown in Patent Document 4, can operate an object to be operated such as a personal computer by taking over a person's inconvenient part by the movement of the tongue. Although it has advantages, it is not sufficient while aiming to minimize the continuous fatigue of the user due to operability, and the positioning in the mouth becomes unstable and the structure becomes complicated, and it is difficult to reduce erroneous operation. There are drawbacks associated with sex.
That is, since the operation unit operates the cursor movement controller (sensor switch) with the tongue in a state where the hemispherical dome-shaped mouthpiece is directly placed on the tongue and sandwiched and supported by the front side of the mouth, for example. When the user opens his mouth and weakens the pinch support, the mouthpiece moves unexpectedly, which tends to cause an erroneous operation of the operating means, and the maintenance of operability to constantly close the mouth to prevent erroneous operation. In addition to causing early continuous fatigue, there is a problem that no one can easily use it because it requires skill in use, and as a result, the oral type remote control device cannot be widely used.

従って、上記各在来技術によっては、例えば、口を半開きに開けて口輪筋や舌筋等の口筋力を高める舌の上下反発運動(ポッピング)や、舌先を震わせて発声するタングトリルボイストレーニング等を行う場合には、口を開ける動作と舌先の動作に伴う噛挟み具の前側移動によって、舌動部前端部が前歯によって噛挟みされる舌動部前歯噛みを繰り返すため、この前歯噛みの懸念によって多様な噛挟み及び発声や滑舌並びに舌運動等のトレーニングを行い難くする等の問題がある。
このため使用者はトレーニング中に両手を使って、噛挟み具を適正噛挟み姿勢に戻す噛み直し操作を頻繁に行わねばならない煩雑さと、噛挟み具を長時間にわたり飽きなく噛挟み使用することを困難にして、多様途の使用が妨げられることになる。
また口腔の生理機能(構音・呼吸・唾液分泌・咀嚼・味覚等の感覚器官)の向上や改善に有効な口腔装置として、また顔筋や舌筋の鍛錬や滑舌向上用の滑舌棒として噛挟み具の使用成果を上げたい場合に、在来の噛挟み具は、自発的な意識の集積(自発トレーニング噛挟み時間長さ)と、噛挟み具を口に着脱して銜える口角部への刺激の回数(銜え刺激回数)を大きくし難いことから、構音や呼吸・唾液分泌・笑顔キープ等の各種トレーニングを好適且つ効率よく行い難い等の課題がある。
Therefore, depending on each of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, for example, the tongue's up-down repulsive movement (popping) that increases the strength of the mouth muscles such as the tongue muscle and the tongue muscle by opening the mouth halfway, the tongue trill voice training that utters by shaking the tip of the tongue, etc. When performing, the front end of the tongue movement part is repeatedly bitten by the front teeth due to the front movement of the biting tool accompanying the movement of opening the mouth and the movement of the tip of the tongue, so there is concern about this front tooth biting. There are problems such as difficulty in performing training such as various biting and vocalization, tongue smoothing, and tongue movement.
For this reason, the user has to use both hands during training to frequently perform the re-biting operation to return the biting tool to the proper pinching posture, and to use the pinching tool for a long time without getting tired. It will be difficult and hinder its versatile use.
In addition, as an oral device effective for improving and improving the physiological functions of the oral cavity (sensory organs such as articulation, breathing, saliva secretion, mastication, and taste), and as a tongue stick for training facial and tongue muscles and improving tongue. When you want to improve the results of using the chewing tool, the conventional chewing tool has a spontaneous accumulation of consciousness (spontaneous training chewing time length) and the corner of the mouth where the chewing tool is attached to and detached from the mouth. Since it is difficult to increase the number of times of stimulation to the tongue (the number of times of chewing stimulation), there is a problem that it is difficult to perform various trainings such as articulation, breathing, saliva secretion, and smile keeping in a suitable and efficient manner.

〔噛挟み具使用の人の座り過ぎ防止策とアンチエイジングとハニトレ開発の必要性〕
一方、近年の老化要因とアンチエイジング研究によれば、平成28年11月22日放映の、NHKガッテン番組「直伝!魅惑のアンチエイジング術」中のNASA研究報告として、「人間は座りっぱなしが長い場合(座り過ぎ)には、耳石運動の不足に伴う各種筋肉老化現象により、筋肉低下・骨密度の低下・循環機能の低下・代謝異常(高コレステロールや高血糖)・免疫力低下等を発生し老化を早める。」 「従って、人は30分毎に立ち上がり動作をすることが大切で、耳石運動を強制的に活性継続し各種筋肉の老化を抑制するため、上記座り過ぎによる弊害や疾病問題を解くと共に、中性脂肪や悪玉コレステロール減・善玉コレステロール増につなぐアンチエイジング術になる。」とのことが広く知られることになった。
然しながら、立ち上がりの重大性が理解されても、IT機器作業や勉学等に夢中になる座り時間中において、30〜60分毎に意識的に立ち上がること(以下単に意識的立ち上がりと言う)や耳石運動をすることは困難であり、且つこの自立継続を習慣化することはさらに困難であることが明らかになった。そこで、座り作業中に居眠り防止も可能にしながら、種々の噛挟み運動による銜え作用に伴う効果を有する噛挟み具を使用すること、この噛挟み具が例えば所望時間毎に意識的な立ち上がりを、他者に迷惑をかけないで促進する好適ツールになること、及びツール使用方法等の開発による耳石運動活性化の問題解決等が課題になる。
[Necessity of anti-sitting measures, anti-aging and Hanitre development for people using biting tools]
On the other hand, according to recent aging factors and anti-aging research, as a NASA research report in the NHK Gatten program "Direct Den! Fascinating Anti-Aging Techniques" aired on November 22, 2016, "Human remains sitting. If it is long (sitting too much), various muscle aging phenomena due to lack of ear stone exercise may cause muscle weakness, bone density decline, circulatory function decline, metabolic abnormality (high cholesterol and hyperglycemia), immune weakness, etc. It occurs and accelerates aging. "" Therefore, it is important for a person to stand up and move every 30 minutes, and forcibly continue to activate the otolith movement and suppress the aging of various muscles, so the harmful effects of sitting too much and It will be an anti-aging technique that solves the disease problem and leads to a decrease in neutral fat, bad cholesterol, and an increase in good cholesterol. "
However, even if the importance of standing up is understood, consciously standing up every 30 to 60 minutes (hereinafter simply referred to as conscious standing up) and otoliths during the sitting time when you are absorbed in IT equipment work and study. It became clear that it was difficult to exercise, and it was even more difficult to get into the habit of maintaining this independence. Therefore, it is necessary to use a biting tool that has an effect associated with the biting action of various biting movements while making it possible to prevent falling asleep during sitting work, for example, this biting tool consciously stands up at desired time intervals. Challenges include becoming a suitable tool that promotes without causing trouble to others, and solving the problem of otolith movement activation by developing tool usage methods.

一方で、車の運転やIT技術等各種作業で取り組まれている居眠り防止手段は、通常時から居眠り状態に至る脳波や顔の表情の変化を捉え所定の居眠り信号によって、冷風装置から運転者に冷風を送る等の外部覚醒喚起手段による目覚まし刺激を付与して目覚ましを行うことが知られている。然し、上記のような外部覚醒喚起手段ではコスト高につくと共に大型で噛挟み具に設置し難いため、噛挟み具自身が口内型の覚醒喚起手段になることができる口腔装置が求められる。
この他さらに近年では、新たな問題になっている長時間にわたる端末連続操作やVR画面注視等に伴う、顔筋や身体の運動不足また脳や思考の偏重使用並びにネット依存症や端末操作依存症等の解決課題がある一方で、これらの課題にはマインドフルネスが効果的なトレーニング手段として実践される。然しながら、この際に行われる瞑想や呼吸法では、理解難度があること及び退屈や居眠り性があること並びに飽きを生じ易く、また種々の呼吸法や脳波を発生可能にする噛挟み具をトレーニングツールやグッズとして使用する発想に未知であること等から、効果的なトレーニング方法がありながら広く普及し難いため時流的成果の非能率性が惜しまれる課題がある。
尚、上記のような各課題対応に応える噛挟み具の使用には、トレーニング時に使う言葉やフレーズは、在来のもののほか音読み発声に勝れ、その語彙がよいイメージや記憶を形成して潜在意識に入り易く、且つ各自のビジネスや人生創造に役立つキーワードであることが望ましく、例えば、「明強優・豊美・満快楽気、柔和良華工利・勇遊勉、仁義智信・感創学、ユウユウ・イキイキ・ワクワク・ワッハッハ・元笑(現象)」等の簡明な創作キーワードや、音読リズムに勝れた格言や詩歌等との融合開発と備えが重要であり、トレーニングソフト面でも新規有益な課題の創出が期待される。
そこで本発明は、位置ずれや口外れを抑制し安定的に長時間の噛挟みすることが可能な噛挟み具と、教育学習・スポーツ娯楽並びに自己トレーニングの好適化と多様なツール使用の促進を図ることができる噛挟み具の使用方法の提供を目的としている。
On the other hand, the doze prevention measures that are being tackled in various tasks such as driving a car and IT technology capture the changes in brain waves and facial expressions from normal to doze, and send a predetermined doze signal from the cold air device to the driver. It is known that awakening is performed by giving an awakening stimulus by an external awakening arousal means such as sending cold air. However, the external wake evoked means as described above since it is difficult to install the噛挟seen immediately large with attached costly, oral appliance that can噛挟seen ingredients itself is awakening evoke means mouth type is determined.
In addition to this, in recent years, due to long-term continuous terminal operation and VR screen gaze, which have become new problems, lack of exercise of facial muscles and body, heavy use of brain and thought, net addiction and terminal operation addiction. While there are problems to be solved such as, mindfulness is practiced as an effective training means for these problems. However, in the meditation and breathing methods performed at this time, it is difficult to understand, it is boring and dozing, it is easy to get bored, and various breathing methods and brain waves can be generated. Since the idea of using it as a product or goods is unknown, there is a problem that the inefficiency of current results is missed because it is difficult to spread it widely even though there is an effective training method.
In addition, when using a chewing tool that responds to each of the above tasks, the words and phrases used during training are superior to the conventional ones as well as the on-yomi utterance, and the vocabulary forms a good image and memory and is latent. It is desirable that the keywords are easy to get into the consciousness and are useful for each person's business and life creation. For example, "Meikyou Yu / Toyomi / Manpakuki, Meiwa Ryoka Kotoshi / Yuyu Tsutomu, Hitoshi Tomonobu / Impression Studies," It is important to develop and prepare for the fusion of simple creative keywords such as "Yuyu, Ikiiki, Waku Waku, Wahha, Gensho (Phenomenon)" and phrases and poems that excel in reading rhythm, which is also new and useful in terms of training software. It is expected to create issues.
Therefore, the present invention promotes a chewing tool capable of stably chewing for a long time by suppressing misalignment and dislocation, optimizing education / learning / sports entertainment and self-training, and promoting the use of various tools. The purpose is to provide a method of using a chewing tool that can be planned.

上記課題を解決するための本発明は、第1に、奥歯で噛挟み可能な噛厚を有する左右の噛み部2aと、該左右の噛み部2aを前方に向け舌運動可能に湾曲させて接続する舌動部5等からなる噛挟み具1において、
前記舌動部5を左右の噛み部2aから前方に向け下向き又は上向きに形成し、舌動部5の前端部を前歯から後方に大きく離した舌基部側位置で口腔底又は口蓋に沿って近接させた噛挟み使用を可能にすることを特徴としている。
In the present invention for solving the above problems, first, the left and right bite portions 2a having a bite thickness that can be bitten by the back teeth and the left and right bite portions 2a are connected by bending the tongue movement forward. In the biting tool 1 composed of the tongue moving portion 5 and the like
The tongue movement portion 5 is formed downward or upward from the left and right bite portions 2a, and the front end portion of the tongue movement portion 5 is close to the oral floor or the palate at a position on the base of the tongue that is largely separated from the anterior teeth. It is characterized by enabling the use of a bite.

第2に、前記左右の噛み部2aの外方に、口角部の上下唇による噛挟みを可能にする口角接触部2kを設けると共に、該口角接触部2kから前方上方に向けて延長される口角上延長部2Lを前方から顔外皮部に接当可能に曲げ形成することを特徴としている。 Secondly , a mouth corner contact portion 2k that enables biting by the upper and lower lips of the mouth corner portion is provided outside the left and right bite portions 2a, and a mouth corner that extends forward and upward from the mouth corner contact portion 2k.

The grip portion 10 formed in 2s is used as a support portion for stably mounting each functional device 6 by various mounting means 7 described later, making it easy to use.

図示する噛挟み具1は、噛み本体2の左右長中央の内側非噛み部2bを前方に向け山折り状に湾曲する前屈曲部5bによって舌動部5を形成するに当たり、舌動部5の左右基部を後方に向けて谷折りして屈曲させる後屈曲部5cを設ける曲げ構造部4にしている。これにより噛挟み具1は、平面視で山高帽子形状となって左右の後屈曲部5cの間で舌Dの動きを自由にする谷状の空間部5aを形成し、口腔内で舌動部5の外周を歯列Bの内側で略相似形状をなして位置させると共に、図6で詳述するように左右の噛み部2aから舌動部5を下向きに曲げることにより、その前端部を前歯から後方に離した位置で口腔底に沿って近接させた噛挟みを可能にし、噛挟み具1の前側移動を舌動部5を介し前歯側で規制しながら、左右の後屈曲部5cの間で舌Dの上下左右方向及び回し方向の舌運動やベロ出し運動を行い易くしている。 In the illustrated biting tool 1, the tongue moving portion 5 is formed by the front bending portion 5b that curves in a mountain fold shape with the inner non-biting portion 2b at the center of the left and right length of the biting body 2 facing forward. The bending structure portion 4 is provided with a rear bending portion 5c that bends the left and right base portions in a valley fold toward the rear. As a result, the biting tool 1 has a mountain-high hat shape in a plan view and forms a valley-shaped space portion 5a between the left and right posterior flexion portions 5c to allow the tongue D to move freely, and the tongue moving portion in the oral cavity. The outer periphery of 5 is positioned inside the dentition B in a substantially similar shape, and the tongue moving portion 5 is bent downward from the left and right biting portions 2a as described in detail in FIG. Between the left and right posterior flexion portions 5c while enabling pinching close to the oral floor at a position separated posterior from the tongue movement portion 5 and restricting the anterior movement of the biting tool 1 on the anterior tooth side via the tongue movement portion 5. This makes it easier to perform tongue movements and tongue out movements in the up, down, left, right, and turning directions of the tongue D.

〔図5(a)の曲げ構造部4と後屈曲部5cと使用態様の説明〕 ここで、図5(a),(b)を参照し曲げ構造部4について詳述する。この噛挟み具1の曲げ構造部4は、舌動部5の左右基部に後屈曲部5cを設けて、その後方突出端を左右の口角接触部2kを結ぶ口角接触基線Fから後方噛み距離Lを有した突出位置線Eに臨ませている。つまり左右の口角接触部2kから後方噛み距離Lを有して後屈曲部5cの後方突出端を設ける噛挟み具1は、使用者が噛挟み具1を口に銜え左右の口角接触部2kを左右の口角後縁Kに接当させたとき、口角後縁Kの内側方にある歯列Bの奥歯(口角側奥歯と言う)から後方噛み距離Lだけ口奥側にある奥歯(最奥歯と言う)によって、後屈曲部5cを介して形成される噛み部2aを噛挟みすることができる。 従って、この噛挟み具1によれば、噛み部2aを口角側奥歯から最奥歯によって深く噛挟みしながら、口角接触部2kが噛み部2aより後方噛み距離L程度前方で口角後縁Kを押接するため、手を使って口角部を大きく後方に押接する痛みや強い口角押接反力を生じさせることなく、笑顔状態の口角上げ刺激等の口角接触刺激を無理なく好適に付与することができ、長時間にわたる噛挟み具1の噛挟み使用を支障なく楽に行うことができる。尚、噛挟み具1のサイズは子供から大人まで異なる口の大きさに対応させる上で、図5(a)に示す口角接触部2kの口角接触基線Fから舌動部5の先端との間の口腔前距離Rと、舌動部5の左右基部との間の口腔左右距離を主体に、小・中・大の3基準タイプを予め準備することが望ましい。 [Explanation of the bent structure portion 4 and the rear bent portion 5c of FIG. 5 (a) and the usage mode] Here, the bent structure portion 4 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b). The bending structure portion 4 of the biting tool 1 is provided with a rear bending portion 5c at the left and right bases of the tongue moving portion 5, and its rear protruding end is a rear biting distance L from the mouth angle contact baseline F connecting the left and right mouth corner contact portions 2k. It faces the protruding position line E having. That is, in the biting tool 1 having a rear biting distance L from the left and right corner contact portions 2k and providing the rear protruding end of the rear bending portion 5c, the user holds the biting tool 1 in the mouth and holds the left and right corner contact portions 2k. When it is brought into contact with the posterior edges K of the left and right corners of the mouth, the back teeth (molars) located on the back side of the mouth by the back bite distance L from the back teeth of the dentition B (called the back teeth on the corner side of the mouth) on the inside of the trailing edge K of the corner of the mouth The biting portion 2a formed via the rear bending portion 5c can be bitten and sandwiched. Therefore, according to this biting tool 1, the mouth corner contact portion 2k pushes the mouth corner trailing edge K about L in front of the biting portion 2a while deeply biting the biting portion 2a from the back teeth on the corner side of the mouth by the innermost teeth. Because of the contact, it is possible to comfortably and appropriately apply a mouth corner contact stimulus such as a smiling mouth corner raising stimulus without causing pain or a strong mouth corner pressing reaction force that greatly pushes the corner of the mouth backward with a hand. The chewing tool 1 can be used for a long time without any trouble. The size of the chewing tool 1 is between the mouth angle contact baseline F of the mouth angle contact portion 2k shown in FIG. 5A and the tip of the tongue movement portion 5 in order to correspond to different mouth sizes from children to adults. It is desirable to prepare three standard types of small, medium, and large in advance, mainly focusing on the lateral distance between the oral cavity R and the left and right bases of the tongue movement portion 5.

つまり、従来の丸棒等からなる真直な滑舌棒を最奥歯側で噛挟みをする場合には、口角後縁Kに対し手で滑舌棒を後方噛み距離Lだけ押し付けた状態で噛挟み保持をしたのち、唇を動かして滑舌トレーニングを行なうが、このとき顎を上下に動かす噛挟み運動をしたり噛挟みを緩めると、口角部が元の位置に復帰する大きな口角押接反力(口角後退反力)によって滑舌棒が前側に移動し噛み位置がずれて適正な噛挟みができないものである。これに対し本発明に係わる噛挟み具1は、上記のように口角押接反力を大きく受けることなく且つ舌動部5が噛み本体2の前側移動を規制するため噛み位置の大きな位置ずれが防止される。このため、噛挟み具1を単に口に銜えて前唇を閉じた状態で、顎を上下に動かす噛挟み運動(顎運動)を付加するだけの簡単な動作によって、口角後縁Kに口角接触部2kを安定的に長い時間にわたり押接することができる等の特徴がある。 That is, when a straight tongue bar made of a conventional round bar or the like is bitten on the innermost tooth side, the tongue bar is pinched by hand against the trailing edge K of the corner of the mouth by the rear biting distance L. After holding, the lips are moved to perform smooth tongue training, but at this time, when the cheek movement is performed to move the jaw up and down or the chew is loosened, the corner of the mouth returns to its original position. (Mouth angle retreat reaction force) causes the tongue stick to move forward and the biting position shifts, making it impossible to properly pinch. On the other hand, in the biting tool 1 according to the present invention, the biting position is largely displaced because the tongue moving portion 5 regulates the front movement of the biting main body 2 without receiving a large pressure against the corner of the mouth as described above. Be prevented. For this reason, the mouth corner contact with the posterior edge K of the mouth corner by a simple operation of adding a biting movement (jaw movement) that moves the jaw up and down while the biting tool 1 is simply held in the mouth and the front lip is closed. It has a feature that the portion 2k can be stably pressed for a long time.

〔図5の口角接触部2k・後屈曲部5c・斜面部5d・屈曲谷部5eの作用効果〕 一方、屈曲谷部5eは後方に向けて深くなる鋭角状(凹部状)に形成すると、平面視において谷部(凹部)から外側非噛み部2s側に向けて形成される噛み部2aの一部長さ又は全長並びに口角接触部2kを、前方に向けて傾斜する斜面部(内向き傾斜面)5dとなして形成し易くする。 この噛挟み具1は、平面視で湾曲状軌跡の歯列Bに斜面部5dの内向き傾斜面を交差させ、口角後縁Kの内方にある犬歯等との噛挟みを避けて、より奥側に位置する左右上下の前記最奥歯によって噛挟むこと(奥歯噛挟みと言う)ができるので、傾斜部を含む長い噛み部2aを噛挟んで噛み本体2を安定的な噛挟み姿勢にし易くすることができる。つまり、左右の後屈曲部5cを有して形成される舌動部5を設ける噛挟み具1は、屈曲谷部5eの空間形状を介して形成される斜面部5dと奥歯との左右対称な奥歯斜交噛みによって、噛み本体2の噛み位置の位置決め容易で噛み位置の位置ずれを防止し、歯列に直交させる従来型の奥歯横噛みに対し、気持ちよくフィットする通常噛挟み姿勢(適正噛挟み姿勢)にすることができる。従って、この噛挟み具1は、長時間の使用が求められる機能器具6や付属品3m等の支持や運動支持用としても好適にできる特徴がある。尚、後屈曲部5cは、図6,図10で後述するように後側噛み部としてブロック形状にしてもよく、また舌動部5の形状及び上歯内係合部2wと下歯内係合部5w等は、後述する図6,図10に示すように構成することができる。 [Action and effect of mouth angle contact portion 2k, rear bending portion 5c, slope portion 5d, and bending valley portion 5e in FIG. 5] On the other hand, when the bending valley portion 5e is formed in a sharp angle shape (recessed shape) that becomes deeper toward the rear, it is flat. A slope portion (inwardly inclined surface) in which a part of the length or the total length of the biting portion 2a formed from the valley portion (recessed portion) toward the outer non-biting portion 2s side and the mouth angle contact portion 2k are inclined forward. It is made 5d to make it easier to form. In the plan view, the biting tool 1 intersects the inwardly inclined surface of the slope portion 5d with the dentition B having a curved locus, and avoids biting with the canines or the like inside the trailing edge K of the corner of the mouth. Since it is possible to bite by the left, right, upper and lower innermost teeth located on the back side (called back tooth biting), it is easy to bite the long biting part 2a including the inclined part and put the biting body 2 into a stable biting posture. can do. That is, the biting tool 1 provided with the tongue moving portion 5 formed by having the left and right rear bending portions 5c is symmetrical between the slope portion 5d formed through the spatial shape of the bending valley portion 5e and the back teeth. The back tooth oblique bite makes it easy to position the bite position of the bite body 2, prevents misalignment of the bite position, and fits comfortably to the conventional lateral bite of the back teeth that is orthogonal to the dentition (proper bite pinch). Can be in posture). Therefore, the biting tool 1 has a feature that it can be suitably used for supporting a functional device 6 or an accessory 3 m, which is required to be used for a long time, or for supporting exercise. The posterior bent portion 5c may have a block shape as a posterior biting portion as described later in FIGS. 6 and 10, and the shape of the tongue moving portion 5 and the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w and the lower tooth internal engagement portion. The joint portion 5w and the like can be configured as shown in FIGS. 6 and 10 described later.

〔各噛挟み具に共通する設計思想と理論・マインドフルネス等の習慣化・作用効果〕 以上のように曲げ構造部4を備える噛挟み具1は、噛挟みを顎を動かし緩めたのち再度噛みしめる噛挟み運動をするとき、この動作によって舌動部5(内側非噛み部2b)が顎の上動作を介し噛み本体2を奥側に向けて付勢移動させる。つまり噛挟み具1は、使用者が噛挟みを緩め顎を下動するとき舌動部5も追随下動し、口角接触部2kが噛み部2a側を支点とし下向きの円弧状に移動して口角後縁Kとの接触を弱めたのち、顎を上動する動作によって舌動部5を介して口角接触部2kが噛み部2aを支点とし略後方噛み距離Lを有して上向き回動するため、口角接触部2kが口角後縁Kを大きく上方後方側に引き上げる(以下単に口角回動引き上げ作用と言う)ことになる。 従って、このような適正噛み直し動作を意識的に操作することができる噛挟み具1は、口角接触部2kが後述する各図で上向き矢印で示す口角回動引き上げ作用により、口角後縁Kを後方に向け強弱自在に押接(押圧)することができる。 そして、使用者は噛挟み運動の押圧の程度を加減した好みの前後位置(好適噛挟み位置)で噛み部2aの噛挟み位置保持を確実容易にする。また適正噛挟み姿勢で前唇を動かして行なう発声トレーニングを好適にすると共に、口角上げや口角押接等の口角接触刺激を多様に付与することができるため、脳の快楽反応を喚起し笑顔トレーニング及び口角上げに伴うリラックス意識とハニトレの持続習慣化を促進する。 従って、近年のビジネス業界や学習・健康分野で重視されている、マインドフルネスに好適なマインドアップ用ツールとして最適化することができる。 [Design concept and theory common to each biting tool, habituation of mindfulness, etc., action effect] As described above, the biting tool 1 provided with the bending structure 4 has the bite pinched by moving the jaw and then loosening it again. When performing a biting and pinching motion, the tongue moving portion 5 (inner non-biting portion 2b) urges and moves the biting body 2 toward the back side through the upper movement of the jaw by this movement. That is, in the biting tool 1, when the user loosens the biting and moves the jaw downward, the tongue moving portion 5 also moves downward, and the mouth corner contact portion 2k moves in a downward arc shape with the biting portion 2a side as a fulcrum. After weakening the contact with the trailing edge K of the corner of the mouth, the corner contact portion 2k rotates upward with the biting portion 2a as a fulcrum via the tongue moving portion 5 by the action of moving the jaw upward. Therefore, the mouth angle contact portion 2k greatly pulls up the trailing edge K of the mouth corner to the upper rear side (hereinafter, simply referred to as the mouth angle rotation pulling action). Therefore, in the biting tool 1 capable of consciously operating such a proper re-biting operation, the mouth angle contact portion 2k grips the mouth angle trailing edge K by the mouth angle rotation pulling action indicated by the upward arrow in each figure described later. It can be pressed (pressed) freely toward the rear. Then, the user reliably facilitates holding the biting position of the biting portion 2a at a preferred front-rear position (preferable biting position) in which the degree of pressing of the biting motion is adjusted. In addition, vocal training that is performed by moving the front lips in an appropriate pinching posture is suitable, and various mouth corner contact stimuli such as mouth corner raising and mouth corner pressing can be applied, so that the pleasure reaction of the brain is aroused and smile training is performed. It also promotes a sense of relaxation associated with raising the corners of the mouth and a continuous habit of Hanitre. Therefore, it can be optimized as a mind-up tool suitable for mindfulness, which has been emphasized in the business industry and learning / health fields in recent years.

〔口角接触線G・口角接触基線F・口角接触角θ・逆ヘ字状の作用効果〕 さらに、この噛挟み具1は平面視で左右の口角接触部2kの基部(噛み部2a側)を水平線状に結ぶ口角接触基線Fに対し、左右の口角接触部2kの延長線つまり口角接触線Gを前方に向けて前傾角になる口角接触角θを有した傾斜面或は湾曲面形状にしている。この場合に噛み本体2は、少なくとも左右の口角接触部2kを逆ハ字状にすることができ、噛み本体2の全体は前記したように逆ヘ字状に形成することができる。 これにより左右の噛み部2aの外側で口角接触角θを有する口角接触部2kは、逆ハ字状をなして口角部を口内側から外側に向けて押し出すようにするため、口角後縁Kを後方に押す口角押接抵抗に伴う痛みを生じさせることなく、口角部に無理のない接触刺激を好適に付与することができる。そして、噛み本体2の左右方向の位置ずれを自ずと抑制するため適正噛挟み及び噛挟み運動を行い易くする等の特徴を創出する。 [Mouth angle contact line G, Mouth angle contact baseline F, Mouth angle contact angle θ, Inverted V-shaped action and effect] With respect to the mouth angle contact baseline F connected in a horizontal line, the extension line of the left and right mouth corner contact portions 2k, that is, the mouth angle contact line G is formed into an inclined surface or a curved surface shape having a mouth angle contact angle θ that becomes a forward tilt angle toward the front. There is. In this case, the biting main body 2 can form at least the left and right corner contact portions 2k in an inverted C shape, and the entire biting main body 2 can be formed in an inverted F shape as described above. As a result, the mouth angle contact portion 2k having the mouth angle contact angle θ on the outside of the left and right bite portions 2a forms an inverted C shape and pushes the mouth corner portion from the inside of the mouth to the outside. It is possible to preferably apply a reasonable contact stimulus to the corner of the mouth without causing pain associated with the resistance to the corner of the mouth that pushes backward. Then, in order to naturally suppress the positional deviation of the biting body 2 in the left-right direction, features such as facilitating proper biting and biting motion are created.

そして、噛挟み具1は外側非噛み部2sの外方端寄りに把持部10を形成するに、外側非噛み部2sの後辺部2rを口角接触線Gから実線で示すように、平面視において前方に向け凹入する曲げ谷部2uを介して後退方向に屈曲させ、こののち前方に向けて湾曲して丸めた外周形状にしている。また前辺部2fは前記後辺部2rラインと略相似した前辺部ラインによって、口角接触部2k側から外側非噛み部2sの外側端(枕部3側)に向けて順次広くなる幅の把持部10を形成することにより、噛み本体2の全体が逆ヘ字状のウイング型をなす流線形デザインにしている。尚、上記後辺部2rは図5(a)に2点鎖線で示すように、後方に向けて大きく突出させて後突出把持部10bを形成すると、ここに機能器具6等を後述するように取付けることができる。また前後方向に広幅な把持部10には、取付杆7bを安定よく差込支持する取付手段7の取付孔7hを設け易くすることができ、また取付孔7hは壁等のフック部に挿入して噛挟み具1の吊り下げ保持による保管を容易にする。 これにより噛挟み具1は、前傾角の口角接触角θを有する口角接触部2kが口内側から外側に向けて口角後縁Kを押し広げるように押接し心地よい接触刺激を付与すると共に、口角接触部2kに連なる直近の外側非噛み部2sが口角後縁Kに連なる直近の頬側との接触を回避するため、噛挟み具1の噛挟みを支障なく行うことができる。 また噛挟み具1は、外側非噛み部2sの外側寄りに把持部10を前後広幅状に形成しながら、曲げ谷部2uによって外側非噛み部2sの外端側(枕部3側)を後方側に位置させるため、外側非噛み部2sの外端側の前方側への張り出しを規制した形状にすることができる。 Then, the biting tool 1 forms the grip portion 10 near the outer end of the outer non-biting portion 2s, and the rear side portion 2r of the outer non-biting portion 2s is shown by a solid line from the mouth angle contact line G in a plan view. In the above, the outer peripheral shape is bent in the backward direction through the bending valley portion 2u that is recessed toward the front, and then curved toward the front and rounded. Further, the front side portion 2f has a width that gradually widens from the mouth angle contact portion 2k side toward the outer end (pillow portion 3 side) of the outer non-biting portion 2s by the front side portion line substantially similar to the rear side portion 2r line. By forming the grip portion 10, the entire biting body 2 has a streamlined design in which the entire biting body 2 has an inverted F-shaped wing shape. As shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 5A, the rear side portion 2r is greatly projected rearward to form the rear protrusion grip portion 10b, and the functional instrument 6 and the like will be described later. Can be installed. Further, the grip portion 10 wide in the front-rear direction can be easily provided with the mounting hole 7h of the mounting means 7 for stably inserting and supporting the mounting rod 7b, and the mounting hole 7h is inserted into a hook portion such as a wall. The biting tool 1 is suspended and held to facilitate storage. As a result, the biting tool 1 gives a comfortable contact stimulus by pressing the mouth angle contact portion 2k having the mouth angle contact angle θ with a forward tilt angle so as to spread the mouth angle trailing edge K from the inside to the outside of the mouth, and at the same time, the mouth corner contact. Since the nearest outer non-biting portion 2s connected to the portion 2k avoids contact with the nearest buccal side connected to the trailing edge K of the corner of the mouth, the biting tool 1 can be bitten without any trouble. Further, in the biting tool 1, the grip portion 10 is formed in a wide front-rear direction on the outer side of the outer non-biting portion 2s, and the outer end side (pillow portion 3 side) of the outer non-biting portion 2s is rearwarded by the bending valley portion 2u. Since it is located on the side, it is possible to form a shape in which the protrusion of the outer non-biting portion 2s to the front side on the outer end side is restricted.

〔図5ウイング型広幅デザイン把持部10の作用と用途・機能器具ユニット利点〕 つまり、この噛挟み具1は、噛み本体2を銜えた姿勢において外側非噛み部2sを、前後方向に広幅な方形状断面にして外方端を頬より外側に位置する長さにすると共に、外側非噛み部2sの平面視における形状を、噛み部2aに連なる内方側より外方端側を徐々に広幅にしながら外側非噛み部2sの外方端側に摘み操作用の把持部10を形成する。これにより噛挟み具1は銜えた噛挟み姿勢において、摘まみ易い広幅な把持部10を口から遠ざかる先端位置で頬の前方側方に臨ませるので、使用者が下方や左右を見るとき視界を大きく邪魔することなく使用することができると共に、噛挟み具1を口から取外す際には、使用者が腕を自然に曲げる動作によって口の横前方の頬から前方に離れた位置にある前記断面形状の把持部10を無理なく指
摘まみできるため、噛挟み具1の取外し作業並びに装着作業を速やか且つ容易にすることができる。
[Fig. 5 Action and application of wing type wide design grip portion 10 / Advantages of functional equipment unit] That is, this biting tool 1 has a wide outer non-biting portion 2s in the front-rear direction in a posture in which the cheek body 2 is held. The outer end of the shape is cross-sectionald so that the outer end is located outside the cheek, and the shape of the outer non-biting portion 2s in the plan view is gradually widened from the inner side connected to the biting portion 2a to the outer end side. However, a grip portion 10 for a picking operation is formed on the outer end side of the outer non-biting portion 2s. As a result, the biting tool 1 makes the wide grip portion 10 that is easy to pick up face the front side of the cheek at the tip position away from the mouth in the biting posture, so that the user can see when looking downward or left and right. It can be used without much hindrance, and when the biting tool 1 is removed from the mouth, the cross section is located at a position away from the cheek on the lateral front side of the mouth by the action of the user naturally bending the arm. Since the grip portion 10 having a shape can be pointed out without difficulty, it is possible to quickly and easily remove and attach the biting tool 1.

また外側非噛み部2sは、その中途部を曲げ谷部2uを介して後方へ曲げると、把持部10の外端側が視界内に大きく入り邪魔になることを抑制できると共に、視界から遠ざかる把持部10の外方端で前突出把持部10aを前方側に向けて突出するように形成し手で把持し易くする。これにより使用者は、口の横前方の頬から離れた位置にある前突出把持部10aを、腕を自然に曲げる位置で指摘まみを素早く容易にできるため、噛挟み具1を口に銜えて左右の口角接触部2kを左右の口角後縁Kに均等的に接当させ易くできる。従って、適正噛挟み姿勢にする噛挟み操作を快適にしながら機能的な意匠美を高めることができる。 Further, when the outer non-biting portion 2s is bent rearward through the bending valley portion 2u, the outer end side of the grip portion 10 can be prevented from entering the field of view and becoming an obstacle, and the grip portion moving away from the field of view can be suppressed. The front protruding grip portion 10a is formed so as to project toward the front side at the outer end of the 10 so that it can be easily gripped by hand. As a result, the user can quickly and easily point out the front protruding grip portion 10a located at a position away from the cheek on the lateral front side of the mouth at a position where the arm is naturally bent. Therefore, the user can hold the cheek pincher 1 in the mouth. The left and right mouth corner contact portions 2k can be easily brought into contact with the left and right mouth corner trailing edges K evenly. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the functional design beauty while making the pinching operation comfortable in the proper pinching posture.

一方、後辺部2rは曲げ谷部2uによって凹部形状をなしてくびれた把持部10を形成しているため、使用者が枕部3を床面Aに接地させて仮置きした噛挟み具1を摘み上げるとき、この凹部に指を掛けて滑り落とすことなく持ち上げ左右の把持部10を摘まんで適正噛挟み姿勢に銜えることができる。そして、口から離脱させる際の摘み把持も同様に行い噛挟み具1を速やかに仮置きすることができる。従って、噛挟み具1を口に銜える回数を多くすることによって覚醒刺激向上トレーニングをする場合に、利便性を有しトレーニング効率を上げ易くすることができる。 また前後方向に広幅な方形状或は楕円状断面によって形成される把持部10は、各種機能器具6を後述する取付手段7を介して安定よく取付ける支持部として好適化できるので、把持部10の平面視広幅な摘み操作形状と厚さにより、各機能器具6の顔への着脱操作や姿勢変更等の装着操作を行い易くする等の利点もある。 On the other hand, since the rear side portion 2r has a concave grip portion 10 formed by a bent valley portion 2u, the user has the pillow portion 3 grounded on the floor surface A and temporarily placed the biting tool 1. When picking up, the left and right grip portions 10 can be picked up and held in a proper pinching posture without hanging a finger on the recess and slipping off. Then, the pinching and gripping at the time of detaching from the mouth is also performed in the same manner, and the biting tool 1 can be quickly temporarily placed. Therefore, when the arousal stimulus improvement training is performed by increasing the number of times the biting tool 1 is bitten into the mouth, it is possible to have convenience and facilitate the training efficiency. Further, since the grip portion 10 formed by the rectangular or elliptical cross section wide in the front-rear direction can be optimized as a support portion for stably mounting the various functional instruments 6 via the mounting means 7 described later, the grip portion 10 The wide picking operation shape and thickness in a plan view also have advantages such as facilitating attachment / detachment operation of each functional device 6 to the face and attachment operation such as posture change.

〔図5のウイング型噛挟み具1の使用態様と特徴〕 次に、以上のように構成される噛挟み具1の使用態様について説明する。この噛挟み具1は、使用者が外側非噛み部2sの把持部10を把持しながら、開けた口の内部に左右の噛み部2aを入れ、且つ舌動部5を下歯の歯列B内に入れた状態で口を閉じる動作によって銜えると、図6で詳述するように舌動部5の先端側を下前歯から後方に離間させ口腔底に近接又は接当させる通常噛挟み姿勢(適正噛挟み姿勢)になる。 これにより噛挟み具1は、噛み部2aを歯列Bのより奥側に位置させて奥歯による噛挟みを安定させることができ、噛み本体2の前側移動と左右移動を規制した状態で口角接触部2kを口角後縁Kに無理なく押接しながら、噛挟み具1の位置ずれや口外れを抑制し長時間の噛挟みを行い易くする。 また噛挟み具1は図6,図14,図16等で後述するように、舌動部左右の基部側に上歯内係合部2wを設けて使用することができると共に、内側非噛み部2bは舌動部5の前部側を下向きに屈曲して下歯内係合部5wを形成する等のデザインにすることができる。そして、後述する各種構造や技術を適宜組み合わせ又は付加融合させて製作することもでき、また必要により舌動操作部28を設置することができる。 [Usage and Features of Wing-type Biting Tool 1 of FIG. 5] Next, a usage mode of the biting tool 1 configured as described above will be described. In this biting tool 1, the user inserts the left and right biting portions 2a inside the opened mouth while gripping the grip portion 10 of the outer non-biting portion 2s, and the tongue moving portion 5 is placed in the dentition B of the lower teeth. When the mouth is closed while it is inside, the tip side of the tongue movement part 5 is separated rearward from the lower anterior teeth and brought close to or in contact with the floor of the mouth as described in detail in FIG. (Proper biting posture). As a result, the biting tool 1 can stabilize the biting by the back teeth by locating the biting portion 2a on the back side of the dentition B, and makes a mouth corner contact with the front side movement and the left-right movement of the biting body 2 restricted. While reasonably pressing the portion 2k against the trailing edge K of the corner of the mouth, the misalignment of the biting tool 1 and the disengagement of the mouth are suppressed to facilitate long-term biting. Further, as will be described later in FIGS. 6, 14, 14, 16 and the like, the biting tool 1 can be used by providing the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w on the left and right base sides of the tongue moving portion, and the inner non-biting portion. The 2b can be designed such that the front side of the tongue moving portion 5 is bent downward to form the lower tooth intradental engaging portion 5w. Then, it can be manufactured by appropriately combining or additionally fusing various structures and techniques described later, and if necessary, the tongue movement operation unit 28 can be installed.

〔噛挟み直し操作・復帰保持姿勢による脳の快楽反応とハニトレ効果について〕 つまり、この噛挟み具1は使用者が噛挟みを一時的に緩めた場合でも、口角接触部2kを口角後縁Kから大きく離間させることなく接当状態で噛み本体2の後方移動を規制しつつ、舌動部5或いは前記上歯内係合部2wによっても噛み本体2の前側移動が規制されるので、顎を上げる再噛挟み動作によって手による前記噛挟み装着操作(噛挟み直し操作)を敢えて要することなく、適正噛挟み姿勢に復帰させて保持することができる。そして、上記復帰保持姿勢において口角接触部2kが口角後縁Kを口縁接触軸部として後方又は上方に向けて押接するため、口角部側で口唇による口角接触部2kの唇噛挟みも自ずと確実に行い口角接触刺激を好適に付与すると共に、噛挟み直し操作に基づく脳の快楽反応の繰り返し喚起を促進しトレーニング効果を大きく上げる利点を創出する。また上歯内係合部2wは、後述するように口を下向きにして開けた場合でも上側の歯列B内で係合するため、噛挟み具1の口外れを好適に規制する。 [Pleasure reaction of the brain and the Hanitre effect due to the re-biting operation / return holding posture] That is, even if the user temporarily loosens the biting tool, the mouth corner contact portion 2k is the mouth corner trailing edge K. While restricting the backward movement of the biting main body 2 in the contact state without being greatly separated from the tongue moving portion 5, the anterior movement of the biting main body 2 is also restricted by the tongue moving portion 5 or the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w. By raising the re-biting operation, it is possible to return to the proper pinching posture and hold the pinching posture without intentionally requiring the pinching mounting operation (re-pinching operation) by hand. Then, in the return holding posture, the mouth corner contact portion 2k presses the mouth corner trailing edge K backward or upward with the mouth corner contact shaft portion as the mouth edge contact shaft portion, so that the lip biting of the mouth corner contact portion 2k by the lips on the mouth corner side is naturally reliable. It creates the advantage of promoting the repetitive arousal of the pleasure reaction of the brain based on the re-biting operation and greatly enhancing the training effect, while giving the mouth corner contact stimulus appropriately. Further, since the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w engages in the upper dentition B even when the mouth is opened downward as described later, the disengagement of the biting tool 1 is preferably regulated.

〔噛挟み直し操作・噛挟み運動の原理とパターン・作用効果の特徴〕 また舌動部5の左右基部側において、噛み部2aを口角接触部2kから後方に位置させて設ける噛挟み具1は、使用者が噛み本体2を銜えた状態で噛み部2aの噛挟みを緩め一時的に解除した場合に、噛み本体2が口角部の後退反力(口角後退反力)によって前側移動をして口角後縁Kに対する押圧を緩めることになるが、舌動部5が下歯或は上歯の内側との接当を介してそれ以上の前側移動を止める。 次いで、ここから噛挟み運動の1つのパターンである、単に顎を上動し再噛挟みをする動作がなされると、噛挟み具1は舌動部5を介した自然な上方後方移動によって、外口角接触部2kが口角後縁Kを再押接する。これにより手を使うことなく噛挟み具1を噛挟み直し操作し元の噛挟み位置に簡単に戻し復帰することができ、口角接触部2kを口角後縁Kに押接し所定の口角接触刺激を強弱自在に付与し、覚醒感覚を持続させると共に口角を上げる笑顔感覚を活性化する。 [Characteristics of re-pinching operation / biting motion, pattern, and effect] In addition, the biting tool 1 provided with the biting portion 2a positioned rearward from the mouth corner contact portion 2k on the left and right base sides of the tongue moving portion 5 When the user loosens the bite of the bite portion 2a and temporarily releases the bite body 2 while holding the bite body 2, the bite body 2 moves forward due to the receding reaction force of the corner of the mouth (backward reaction force of the corner of the mouth). The pressure on the posterior edge K of the corner of the mouth is relaxed, but the tongue moving portion 5 stops further anterior movement through contact with the inside of the lower or upper teeth. Then, when an action of simply moving the jaw upward and re-pinching, which is one pattern of the biting movement, is performed from here, the biting tool 1 moves upward and backward naturally via the tongue moving portion 5. The outer mouth corner contact portion 2k re-presses the mouth corner trailing edge K. As a result, the chewing tool 1 can be re-pinched and returned to the original pinching position without using a hand, and the mouth corner contact portion 2k is pressed against the trailing edge K of the mouth corner to provide a predetermined mouth corner contact stimulus. Gives strength freely, sustains arousal sensation and activates smile sensation that raises the corners of the mouth.

〔噛挟み運動・口角上げ接触刺激・笑顔感覚ハニトレパターンの創出と展開〕 さらに、上記顎の上下又は前後又は左右の動作は、口角接触部2kと口角後縁Kとの押接を強めたり、押接を弱めたりする噛挟み運動を意識的な顎動作によって行なうことができるので、口角部への接触刺激をリズミカルに強弱させながらに口角上げ接触刺激を付与しながら、滑舌や発声等を融合させた多様なトレーニング(ハニトレ)の促進を図ることができる。即ち、従来の真直な滑舌棒のように使用者が、口角後縁Kに対し手で噛挟み具1を押し付けて保持することなく、単に口に銜えて前唇を閉じた状態で、顎を上下に又は前後に又は左右に動かす噛挟み運動(顎運動)を付加するだけの簡単な動作によって、口角後縁Kに口角接触部2kを長時間にわたり疲れなく押接することができる。これにより使用者は、口角接触刺激を確実に付与する顔筋トレーニングや口輪筋鍛錬を自ずと行うことができ、また舌Dを舌動部5の形状に沿って自由になぞるように動かして行う舌撫で動作等の舌運動や、噛み部2aを歯によって強弱自在に噛挟みする歯噛挟み運動や、口角接触部2kを口角部の上下口角筋によって噛挟みする口角噛挟み運動等を多様に組み合わせた噛挟みトレーニングパターン(ハニトレパターン)を創出しながら、滑舌・発声・笑顔等のトレーニングを効率よく可能にする等の特徴を創出する。 [Creation and development of biting movement, mouth angle raising contact stimulation, smile sensation Hanitre pattern] Furthermore, the above-mentioned jaw up / down or front / back or left / right movement strengthens the pressing contact between the mouth corner contact portion 2k and the mouth corner trailing edge K. Since the biting movement such as weakening the pressing force can be performed by conscious jaw movement, the contact stimulus to the corner of the mouth is rhythmically strengthened and the contact stimulus to raise the corner of the mouth is applied, and the tongue and vocalization are performed. It is possible to promote various trainings (hanitre) that combine the above. That is, unlike the conventional straight tongue stick, the user does not press the biting tool 1 against the trailing edge K of the corner of the mouth by hand to hold it, but simply holds it in the mouth and closes the front lip. The mouth corner contact portion 2k can be pressed against the trailing edge K of the corner of the mouth for a long time without fatigue by a simple operation of adding a biting movement (jaw movement) that moves the cheilitis up and down, back and forth, or left and right. As a result, the user can naturally perform facial muscle training and muzzle muscle training that reliably apply the mouth angle contact stimulus, and also move the tongue D freely along the shape of the tongue movement portion 5. Various tongue movements such as stroking the tongue, tooth biting movements in which the biting part 2a is bitten by teeth, and mouth corner biting movements in which the mouth corner contact part 2k is bitten by the upper and lower mouth corner muscles of the mouth corner. While creating a combined biting training pattern (Hanitre pattern), it creates features such as efficiently enabling training such as tongue, vocalization, and smile.

〔ハニトレパターンとコップ内で仮置きする使用例・口内型噛挟み具とマスク使用〕 尚、ウイング状の噛挟み具1は、略ストレート形の棒状であることから複数本のものを束ねた状態で簡単に握ることができると共に、使用の前後中途でも洗い易い利点がある。例えば、一つのコップに複数本をまとめて入れた仮置き状態で、噛挟み具1を適時1本づつ使用しながら使用後の噛挟み具1を別のコップに入れて仮置きし、適時に一括的に洗浄し再使用を容易にする等の使用形態を創出できる。 また浮力を有して製作されるウイング状の噛挟み具1は、入浴時や水泳トレーニング等の場所での使用を好適化することができる。さらに、ウイング型の噛み本体2は多様な色種にし易いが、金色にする場合の噛挟み具1は、金の延べ棒を銜えた感覚になるため、トレーニング習慣を促進し気分よくハニトレができる利点がある。 また噛挟み具1は、図5(a)〜(c)に2点鎖線で示す口内型位置3kから外方の外側非噛み部2sを省略(切断)した形状の短い噛み本体2にすることができる。 この場合には図11,16,17で詳述するように、口角接触部2kを口角部から大きく突出させない形状の口内型噛挟み具にすることができ、入浴時やマスク使用時及び外出時等人前で好適に使用促進可能なコンパクト型噛挟み具1にすることができる。 [Usage example of temporary placement in a cup with a Hanitre pattern-Use of a mouth-type biting tool and a mask] Since the wing-shaped biting tool 1 has a substantially straight rod shape, a plurality of pieces are bundled together. It has the advantage that it can be easily grasped in the state and it is easy to wash even before and after use. For example, in a temporarily placed state in which a plurality of pieces are put together in one cup, while using the biting tool 1 one by one in a timely manner, the used biting tool 1 is put in another cup and temporarily placed in a timely manner. It is possible to create a usage pattern such as cleaning all at once and facilitating reuse. Further, the wing-shaped biting tool 1 manufactured with buoyancy can be optimized for use in places such as bathing and swimming training. Further, the wing-shaped biting body 2 is easy to be made into various color types, but the biting tool 1 when making it golden makes it feel like a gold bar, so that training habits can be promoted and the honey training can be done comfortably. There are advantages. Further, the biting tool 1 is a short biting body 2 having a shape in which the outer non-biting portion 2s is omitted (cut) from the oral die position 3k shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIGS. 5A to 5C. Can be done. In this case, as described in detail in FIGS. 11, 16 and 17, the mouth corner contact portion 2k can be made into an intraoral chewing tool having a shape that does not protrude significantly from the mouth corner portion, and can be used when bathing, using a mask, or going out. It is possible to obtain a compact type chewing tool 1 that can be suitably used in public.

〔図5(d)のウイング型と2点鎖線流線形ウエーブ型との融合型噛挟み具〕 さらに上記噛挟み具1は、正面視(背面視)での形状を図5(d)に2点鎖線で示すように、左右の口角接触部2k側を内側非噛み部2bより高くし、口角上げ距離Hを上向き傾斜の口角上げ形状によって形成し、この場合に外側非噛み部2sの中途を曲げ谷部2uを介して外方側を下方に曲げて頂上部2mを形成すると、外側非噛み部2sに下り傾斜の脚部状の把持部10となし端部を枕部3にする流線形ウエーブ型を構成することができる。また噛み本体2を反転させたときは、左右の頂上部2mを枕部3として利用することができる利点がある。尚、上記流線形ウエーブ型噛挟み具1については、図6を参照し詳述する。 [Fusion type biting tool of wing type and two-dot chain line streamlined wave type shown in FIG. 5D] Further, the biting tool 1 has a shape in front view (rear view) shown in FIG. 5 (d). As shown by the dotted line, the left and right mouth angle contact portions 2k side are made higher than the inner non-biting portion 2b, and the mouth angle raising distance H is formed by the upwardly inclined mouth angle raising shape. When the outer side is bent downward through the bending valley portion 2u to form the top portion 2 m, the outer non-biting portion 2s has a downwardly inclined leg-shaped grip portion 10 and the none end portion becomes a pillow portion 3. A wave type can be configured. Further, when the biting body 2 is inverted, there is an advantage that the left and right top portions 2 m can be used as the pillow portion 3. The streamlined wave type biting tool 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

〔図6のウエーブ型噛挟み具の原理・構造・作用・特徴と、使用トレーニング方法〕 次に、本発明の別実施形態に係わるウエーブ型の噛挟み具1について図6,図7を参照し説明する。尚、図5の噛挟み具1と同様な原理及び構成作用については重複を避け同一符号を付して説明を省略する。図示例の噛挟み具1は図5と図14で示すものの特徴を融合させたウエーブ型ブロック状デザインとなし、合成樹脂によって取り扱い易く綺麗な製作を可能とし、両者の利点を活かした噛挟みトレーニング効果(以下ハニトレ効果と言う)を相乗化すると共に、長時間の使用を利便性を有して可能とし、且つオシャレな外観と使用満足感を呈し楽しく有意義なハニトレを促進する。 また口に銜えた噛挟み具1の噛挟み姿勢と形状を利用し、各種の機能器具6の安定的な取付けを可能にし、各機能器具6による所定の目的作用を発揮し易くする。 尚、参考までに上記噛挟み具1は、噛み本体2の左右長を200ミリ程度にする場合に、広幅にできる把持部10の板厚は2〜5ミリ程度にすると、取付孔7h等の付設を容易とし該取付孔7hに取付杆7b等を安定的に取付けることができる。またブロック状に形成可能な噛み部2aは、3〜10ミリ程度の噛み厚を形成可能にする。 [Principle, structure, action, and characteristics of the wave-type biting tool of FIG. 6 and training method for use] Next, refer to FIGS. 6 and 7 for the wave-type biting tool 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention. explain. It should be noted that the same principle and constituent action as those of the biting tool 1 of FIG. 5 are designated by the same reference numerals to avoid duplication and the description thereof will be omitted. The biting tool 1 in the illustrated example has a wave-type block-shaped design that combines the features of those shown in FIGS. 5 and 14, and the synthetic resin enables easy-to-use and beautiful manufacturing, and biting training that takes advantage of both. The effect (hereinafter referred to as the "hanitre effect") is synergized, and it is possible to use it for a long time with convenience, and it has a fashionable appearance and a feeling of satisfaction, and promotes a fun and meaningful hanitre. Further, by utilizing the biting posture and shape of the biting tool 1 held in the mouth, various functional devices 6 can be stably attached, and each functional device 6 can easily exert a predetermined target action. For reference, when the left and right length of the biting body 2 is about 200 mm and the thickness of the grip portion 10 which can be widened is about 2 to 5 mm, the mounting hole 7h and the like can be obtained. The mounting can be facilitated and the mounting rod 7b or the like can be stably mounted in the mounting hole 7h. Further, the biting portion 2a that can be formed in a block shape makes it possible to form a biting thickness of about 3 to 10 mm.

〔ウエーブ型・口角上延長部2L・顔前押接部2q・本体脚部2h・水平把持部10〕 この噛挟み具1は、正面視(背面視)形状を図6(b)に示すように、噛み本体2の中央部で下向きに凹入する舌動部5(内側非噛み部2b)の左右に、噛み部2aと口角接触部2kと顔前押接部2qを有する口角上延長部2Lと、該口角上延長部2Lの頂上部2m(顔前押接部2q)から下方に形成される本体脚部2hと枕部3と把持部10等による外側非噛み部2sとにより、正面視及び平面視で凹凸状の輪郭をなす波型形状にしている。また噛み部2aに連なる口角接触部2kを口角部から前方に向けて立ち上げ、その頂上部2mが顔前方から顔外皮部に接当自在にする口角上延長部2Lを湾曲状に形成すると共に、該口角上延長部2Lを利用し噛み部2a及び舌動部5等を床面Aから離して接地させる枕部3を有している。 図示例の噛挟み具1は、口角上延長部2Lに連なり下り傾斜する本体脚部2hの下部を側方に向けて湾曲状に折り返して接地する部位を枕部3にしていると共に、自由端側を略水平状に延長させた把持部10を形成している。 また枕部3を介し床面Aから上方に離間させる形状の把持部10には、取付孔7h等の取付手段7を設け易くすると共に摘み易くする等の利点を有している。 これによりウエーブ型の噛挟み具1は、左右幅(左右長)を大きくすることなく外側非噛み部2sの中途部に口角上延長部2Lと本体脚部2hとによる上下方向に長い支脚を形成し、舌動部5及び噛み部2aを床面Aから上方に置きながら安定的な仮置き支持を可能にする。また上記支脚部は、上下方向に長くできるため摘み把持し易い把持部10にすることができると共に、この部を利用して各種の付属品3mや機能器具6等を取付け易く形成することができる等の特徴がある。 [Wave type, extension on the corner of the mouth 2L, front face pressing part 2q, main body leg part 2h, horizontal grip part 10] This biting tool 1 has a front view (rear view) shape as shown in FIG. 6 (b). An extension on the corner of the mouth that has a bite 2a, a corner contact 2k, and a front face press 2q on the left and right sides of the tongue movement portion 5 (inner non-bite 2b) that is recessed downward at the center of the bite body 2. The front surface is formed by 2L, a main body leg 2h formed downward from the top 2m (face front pressing portion 2q) of the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth, a pillow portion 3, and an outer non-biting portion 2s by a grip portion 10 or the like. It has a wavy shape with a concavo-convex contour in both visual and horizontal views. In addition, the corner contact portion 2k connected to the bite portion 2a is raised from the corner of the mouth toward the front, and the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth is formed in a curved shape so that the top 2 m thereof can be brought into contact with the exodermis of the face from the front of the face. The pillow portion 3 is provided so that the biting portion 2a and the tongue moving portion 5 and the like are separated from the floor surface A and grounded by using the extension portion 2L on the corner of the mouth. In the biting tool 1 of the illustrated example, the lower part of the main body leg 2h, which is connected to the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth and is inclined downward, is bent back toward the side in a curved shape to make the ground contact portion 3 and the free end. The grip portion 10 whose side is extended substantially horizontally is formed. Further, the grip portion 10 having a shape that is separated upward from the floor surface A via the pillow portion 3 has an advantage that the attachment means 7 such as the attachment hole 7h can be easily provided and can be easily picked up. As a result, the wave-type biting tool 1 forms a long support leg in the vertical direction by the extension portion 2L on the corner of the mouth and the main body leg portion 2h in the middle portion of the outer non-biting portion 2s without increasing the left-right width (left-right length). Then, the tongue moving portion 5 and the biting portion 2a are placed above the floor surface A to enable stable temporary placement support. Further, since the support leg portion can be lengthened in the vertical direction, the grip portion 10 can be easily gripped and gripped, and various accessories 3 m, the functional instrument 6 and the like can be easily attached by using this portion. There are features such as.

〔口角上延長部2Lの利用機能・顔外皮接触・傾倒姿勢で枕部化・マスク使用〕 そして、口角接触部2kから顔前で、ホウレイ線や鼻や眼部等の前方に頂上部2mを所望長さで臨ませることができる口角上延長部2Lを有する噛挟み具1は、図6(c)で
示すように本体脚部2hの下部に形成した枕部3を床面Aに接地させる起立姿勢と、本体脚部2hを前方に張り出した張出部と口角上延長部2Lを前方に張り出した張出部とを共に枕部3として、両者を床面A1に接地させた前傾倒姿勢との2パターンの仮置姿勢を選択することができる。これにより噛挟み具1は、複数の仮置姿勢パターンの選択によって仮置きを容易にすると共に、口角上延長部2Lの摘み把持も容易にして噛挟み動作を速やかにし使用し易くしている。 つまり、実施形態の噛挟み具1は、口角上延長部2Lを設けていることによりその重量を利用して噛み本体2の重心位置を枕部3の接地幅の前方寄りにして、床面Aに安定的に起立させる第1仮置き姿勢になるようにしている。そして、使用者が噛挟み具1を無造作に素早く床面Aに接地させたときに、口角上延長部2Lを備える噛挟み具1は、後方側への転倒を抑制しながら前方側に向けての転倒を許し、前方に転倒する噛挟み具1は、前記本体脚部2hと口角上延長部2Lの前方突出部が枕部3,3となって床面A1に接地でき、噛挟み具1を安定姿勢で第2仮置き姿勢にすることができる。従って、口角上延長部2Lと本体脚部2hを備える噛挟み具1は、図6(c)の床面A1で示すように接地点距離の長い前転仮置き姿勢によって前後方向に倒れない安定姿勢によって、噛み部2a及び舌動部5を上下方向の起立姿勢で床面から離間させ衛生的に支持すると共に、水洗後の水切りを速やかにし効率よく乾燥することができる等の特徴がある。一方、噛挟み具1の小型を図る場合には、2点鎖線で示す枕線3rから本体脚部2h側を省略すると、口角上延長部2Lの前面側を張出形状にして接地可能な枕部3にできるため、美観を有するコンパクトデザインの噛挟み具1になり、且つマスクで覆う外出時での使用も容易に促進する。
[Function of using 2L extension on the corner of the mouth, contact with the outer skin of the face, use of a pillow in a tilted posture, and use of a mask] Then, from the corner of the mouth 2k, in front of the face, in front of the horay line, nose, eyes, etc. In the biting tool 1 having the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth that can be faced with a desired length, the pillow portion 3 formed at the lower part of the main body leg portion 2h is brought into contact with the floor surface A as shown in FIG. The standing posture and the forward leaning posture in which both the overhanging portion with the main body leg 2h protruding forward and the overhanging portion with the extension 2L above the corner of the mouth protruding forward are used as the pillow portion 3, and both are grounded on the floor surface A1. Two patterns of temporary postures can be selected. As a result, the biting tool 1 facilitates temporary placement by selecting a plurality of temporary placement posture patterns, and also facilitates gripping and gripping of the extension portion 2L on the corner of the mouth, making the biting operation quick and easy to use. That is, in the biting tool 1 of the embodiment, since the extension portion 2L on the corner of the mouth is provided, the position of the center of gravity of the biting main body 2 is set closer to the front of the ground contact width of the pillow portion 3 by utilizing the weight thereof, and the floor surface A It is designed to be in the first temporary placement posture so that it can stand up stably. Then, when the user casually and quickly touches the bite pinch 1 to the floor surface A, the bite pinch 1 provided with the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth is directed toward the front side while suppressing the fall to the rear side. In the biting tool 1 that allows the body to fall and falls forward, the front protruding portion of the main body leg 2h and the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth becomes a pillow portion 3 and 3 and can be grounded to the floor surface A1. Can be in the second temporary placement posture in a stable posture. Therefore, the biting tool 1 provided with the extension portion 2L on the corner of the mouth and the leg portion 2h of the main body is stable so as not to fall in the front-rear direction due to the forward rotation temporary placement posture having a long contact point distance as shown by the floor surface A1 in FIG. 6 (c). Depending on the posture, the biting portion 2a and the tongue moving portion 5 are separated from the floor surface in a vertical standing posture to support hygienically, and the draining portion after washing with water can be quickly drained and dried efficiently. On the other hand, in order to reduce the size of the biting tool 1, if the main body leg 2h side is omitted from the pillow line 3r indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, the front side of the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth is formed into an overhanging shape so that the pillow can be grounded. Since it can be formed in the part 3, it becomes an aesthetically pleasing compact design biting tool 1, and it can be easily used when going out covered with a mask.

〔口角上延長部2Lの前方湾曲形状と顔前押接部・ホウレイ線消し舌運動〕 また口角上延長部2Lは、口角接触部2kから頂上部2mに至る間を前方に向けて膨出するように湾曲させることにより、頂上部2mを顔中心左右の顔前所望位置に臨む顔前押接部2qになるようにし、また頂上部2mを顔前押接部2qにする場合に、唇鼻間外皮部と口角上延長部2Lとの強い接当を回避しながら、例えば頂上部2mをほうれい線の所望位置又は鼻翼側方又は眼下外皮部等のツボ適所に最適姿勢で臨ませるようにしている。 これによる噛挟み具1は、噛み部2a又は口角接触部2kの噛挟み運動の動作によって、顔の外皮部に対し唇鼻間外皮部に支障されることなく左右の顔前押接部2qを前方から効率よく同時押接することができ、左右交互の片側噛挟みをするとき左右の顔前押接部2qによる鼻孔やほうれい線等の片側外皮押接を確実に繰り返すことができるため、健康美容によいとされる「片鼻呼吸」や「ほうれい線消し」並びに「顔筋鍛錬とむくみとり」に好適な顔前押接運動を継続し易くする。 つまり口角上延長部2Lを備える噛挟み具1は、使用者が噛挟みを緩め顎を下動すると舌動部5が追随下動し、口角接触部2kが噛み部2a側を支点とし下向き円弧状に移動して口角後縁Kとの接触を弱めたのち、顎を上動する噛み直し動作によって舌動部5を上動すると、口角接触部2kが噛み部2aを支点とし略後方噛み距離Lを有して上向き回動し、該口角接触部2kが口角後縁Kを大きく上方後方側に引き上げる作用(以下、口角回動引き上げ作用と言う)をする。 そして、手を使うことなく適正噛み直し動作を意識的にできる噛挟み具1は、口角接触部2kが口角回動引き上げ作用により口角後縁Kを後方に向け強弱自在に押接(押圧)するとき、口角接触部2kから上方に向け長いスパンを有して立設される口角上延長部2Lの頂上部2mは前方から後方に向けて移動するため、この後方移動を利用して頂上部2mによって顔外皮部に押接する顔前押接運動を行い易くする。 上記顔前押接運動は前記した、(ア)顎の上下運動に伴う噛挟み作用に限ることなく、(イ)顎の前後運動に伴う噛挟み作用、(ウ)顎の左右運動に伴う噛挟み作用、(エ)口角部筋肉の上下運動又は引き締め緩め運動に伴う噛挟み作用によって行うことができる。 さらにこの噛挟み具1は、(オ)舌で舌動部5を押動又は掬い上げる運動に伴う噛挟み作用によっても行うことができ、特にこの場合の噛挟み具1は、前記形状の舌動部5が所望の動きと力を自由に発揮し易い舌の動作を効率よく受けてコントロールし易くするので、顎を大きく動かすことなく疲労を軽減した口角上延長部2Lの顔前押接運動をリズミカルに継続することを可能にする等の利点がある。尚、上記使用においては、噛み部2aの歯による噛挟みは強くしないで行うことが望ましい。 [Front curved shape of the upper extension of the mouth angle 2L and the front pressing part of the face / Nasolabial fold erasing tongue movement] The upper extension of the mouth angle 2L bulges forward from the mouth angle contact part 2k to the top 2m. By bending it in this way, the top 2 m is the front face pressing part 2q facing the desired position in front of the face on the left and right of the center of the face, and when the top 2 m is the front face touch part 2q, the lips and nose While avoiding strong contact between the interstitial skin and the extension on the upper corner of the mouth 2L, for example, make the top 2m face the desired position of the nasolabial fold or the appropriate position of the acupoint such as the side of the nasal wing or the outer skin under the eye in the optimum posture. ing. As a result, the biting tool 1 presses the left and right anterior face pressing portions 2q with respect to the outer skin of the face without being hindered by the outer skin of the lip and nose by the movement of the biting movement of the biting portion 2a or the corner contact portion 2k. Efficient simultaneous pressing from the front is possible, and when one-sided biting is performed alternately on the left and right, one-sided skin contact such as the nose hole and nasolabial fold by the left and right face front pressing parts 2q can be reliably repeated, which is healthy. It facilitates the continuation of preface pressing exercises suitable for "one-nose breathing", "nasolabial fold elimination", and "facial muscle training and swelling removal", which are said to be good for beauty. That is, in the chewing tool 1 provided with the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth, when the user loosens the pinching and moves the jaw downward, the tongue moving portion 5 moves downward, and the corner contact portion 2k moves downward with the chewing portion 2a as the fulcrum. After moving in an arc shape to weaken the contact with the trailing edge K of the corner of the mouth, when the tongue moving portion 5 is moved upward by the re-biting motion of moving the jaw upward, the corner of the mouth contact portion 2k uses the biting portion 2a as a fulcrum and approximately the rear biting distance. It has L and rotates upward, and the mouth angle contact portion 2k has an action of greatly pulling up the trailing edge K of the mouth angle upward and rearward (hereinafter, referred to as a mouth angle rotation pulling action). Then, in the biting tool 1 which can consciously perform the proper re-biting operation without using a hand, the mouth angle contact portion 2k presses (presses) the rear edge K of the mouth angle backward by the action of rotating and pulling up the mouth angle. At this time, since the top 2m of the mouth angle upper extension 2L, which is erected with a long span upward from the mouth corner contact portion 2k, moves from the front to the rear, the top 2m is used by using this backward movement. Makes it easier to perform a frontal pressing motion that presses against the exodermis of the face. The front-face pressing movement is not limited to (a) the biting action associated with the vertical movement of the jaw, (b) the biting action associated with the back-and-forth movement of the jaw, and (c) the biting action associated with the lateral movement of the jaw. It can be performed by pinching action, (d) biting action accompanying vertical movement or tightening / loosening movement of the corner muscles of the mouth. Further, the biting tool 1 can also be performed by (e) a biting action accompanying a movement of pushing or scooping up the tongue moving portion 5 with the tongue, and in particular, the biting tool 1 in this case is a tongue having the above-mentioned shape. Since the moving part 5 efficiently receives the movement of the tongue, which makes it easy to freely exert the desired movement and force, and makes it easier to control, the frontal pressing movement of the extension part 2L above the corner of the mouth reduces fatigue without moving the jaw significantly. There are advantages such as making it possible to continue rhythmically. In the above use, it is desirable that the biting portion 2a is not strongly pinched by the teeth.

また口角上延長部2Lは、図6(b)に2点鎖線で示すように顔前押接部2qが鼻翼側方に位置して押接接当する長さと形状にすると、この接当を介して噛挟み運動に伴う押接刺激を接当部に同時に強弱自在に付与することができ、顔接触刺激を融合した効果的な噛挟みトレーニングを行い易くする。また顔前押接部2qは、口角上延長部2L又は噛み本体2の他側を押接するように複数段の設置をすることができる。 そして、上記のように作用する形状の口角上延長部2Lを備える噛挟み具1は、使用者が顔を下向きにして口を開けた場合でも、噛み部2aと顔前押接部2qとが上下で顔を挟むように接当するため、前記舌動部5の安易な下前歯越えを規制して噛挟み具1の離脱落下を防止でき、発声姿勢を自由にしながら大声を出して行う発声トレーニングを快適にする等の特徴がある。 さらに、この噛挟み具1は、口角上延長部2L又は本体脚部2hに対し、図3に記したような指圧用具14を取付け易くしている。図6に示す口角上延長部2Lの先端に着脱自在に取付ける指圧用具14は、ベース14aの先端側に指先状の押接突起(外皮接触部)14cを数本分突設している。従って、この指圧用具14は、各外皮接触部14cが顔のほうれい線の消しポイント位置に同時接触し、且つ噛挟み具1の噛挟み運動に伴い小範囲の押接動作を繰り返すことができるため、頬筋を無理に大きく動かす弊害を伴うことなくほうれん線消しを適切簡単に可能にする利点がある。 尚、上記噛挟み具1の左右長を携帯利便性を有する長さとして好適な90ミリ程度にする場合は、図6(a)に示す2点鎖線の枕線3t位置に枕部3を形成することが望ましく、この場合の噛挟み具1は噛挟み姿をマスクで覆い易くなり、また鼻孔の両側で前方に向けて張り出した形状になる口角上延長部2Lは、マスク内面と顔外皮部との直接的な接当を回避するコンパクトなマスク覆い型にすることができる。 Further, the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth has a length and shape in which the front face pressing portion 2q is located on the side of the ala of nose and is pressed and contacted as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The pressing stimulus associated with the biting movement can be applied to the contacting part at the same time, and the effective biting training that combines the facial contact stimulus can be easily performed. Further, the front face pressing portion 2q can be installed in a plurality of stages so as to press the extension portion 2L on the corner of the mouth or the other side of the biting body 2. Then, in the biting tool 1 provided with the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth having a shape that acts as described above, even when the user opens the mouth with the face facing downward, the biting portion 2a and the front pressing portion 2q are in contact with each other. Since the face is touched so as to sandwich the face between the upper and lower parts, it is possible to prevent the biting tool 1 from falling off by restricting the easy crossing of the lower anterior teeth of the tongue movement part 5, and to make a loud voice while freely speaking. It has features such as making training comfortable. Further, the biting tool 1 makes it easy to attach the acupressure tool 14 as shown in FIG. 3 to the extension portion 2L on the corner of the mouth or the leg portion 2h of the main body. The acupressure tool 14 detachably attached to the tip of the extension portion 2L on the corner of the mouth shown in FIG. 6 has several fingertip-shaped pressing protrusions (exodermis contact portions) 14c protruding from the tip side of the base 14a. Therefore, in this acupressure tool 14, each exodermis contact portion 14c can simultaneously contact the erasing point position of the nasolabial fold of the face, and the pressing operation in a small range can be repeated as the biting tool 1 bites. Therefore, there is an advantage that the spinach line can be erased appropriately and easily without the harmful effect of forcibly moving the buccinator muscle. When the left-right length of the biting tool 1 is set to about 90 mm, which is suitable for carrying convenience, the pillow portion 3 is formed at the position of the pillow line 3t of the two-point chain line shown in FIG. 6 (a). In this case, the biting tool 1 makes it easier to cover the biting figure with a mask, and the extension part 2L above the corner of the mouth, which has a shape protruding forward on both sides of the nostril, is the inner surface of the mask and the outer skin of the face. It can be a compact mask covering type that avoids direct contact with.

〔ブロック状噛み部2aの構造作用・弾性付与手段・噛合片2Vの特徴〕 一方、図示例の噛み部2aは、舌動部5及び口角接触部2kの後方に設けられ、口角部の後方にある奥歯によって噛挟みし易い平面視形状と厚さ(数ミリから10ミリであることが望ましい)によってブロック状に形成される。尚、ブロック状の厚い噛み部2aの場合には、厚さ中途部にスリットや弾力構造等の弾性付与手段を設け易くすることができチューイングトレーニングを好適化する。またブロック状又は板状の噛み部2aは、その噛み面又は後部に図6(c)に2点鎖線で示す噛合片2vを突設することができ、この場合の噛合片2vは歯の凹凸面との接触或いは最奥歯の後部に接当可能になるため、噛挟み時に噛合片2vによる噛挟み刺激と噛挟み具1の前側移動を抑制する等の利点がある。 [Structural action of block-shaped biting portion 2a, elastic imparting means, characteristics of meshing piece 2V] On the other hand, the biting portion 2a of the illustrated example is provided behind the tongue moving portion 5 and the mouth corner contact portion 2k, and is provided behind the mouth corner portion. It is formed in a block shape by a plan view shape and a thickness (preferably several millimeters to 10 millimeters) that can be easily bitten by a certain back tooth. In the case of the block-shaped thick biting portion 2a, it is possible to easily provide elastic imparting means such as a slit or an elastic structure in the middle portion of the thickness, and the chew training is made suitable. Further, the block-shaped or plate-shaped biting portion 2a can project a meshing piece 2v shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 6C on the biting surface or the rear portion thereof, and the meshing piece 2v in this case has unevenness of teeth. Since it is possible to make contact with the surface or to contact the rear part of the innermost tooth, there are advantages such as suppressing the biting stimulus by the biting piece 2v and the front movement of the biting tool 1 at the time of biting.

〔上歯内係合部2wの形状と前側移動規制・噛挟み直し操作と使用方法〕 そして、噛挟み具1は左右の噛み部2aの前部内側に上側歯列Bの所定奥歯の内面側に部分的に接当することができる上歯内係合部2wを突設している。この上歯内係合部2wは、後方から前方に向けて高くなる傾斜辺を有する山形突起状に形成すること、さらには傾斜辺の頂部側を内向き傾斜又は湾曲面にすることが望ましく、これにより噛み部2aを口奥に挿入して噛挟み具1を銜えるとき、左右の傾斜辺を介して上歯内係合部2wを上側歯列Bの左右の奥側内にスムーズに入り込ませ、左右の所定奥歯と部分的な点接当させることができる。これにより噛挟み具1は左右の所定奥歯との点接当を容易にして奥歯に噛み難さ等の負担をかけることなく、左右方向の位置ズレを簡単に防止することができ、また噛挟み具1の前方移動を上歯内係合部2wと湾曲する歯列Bの犬歯他前側歯との接当を介して規制することができる。そして、上歯内係合部2wと前側歯との接当によって噛み本体2の前側移動が規制されるので、手を使用することのない噛挟み直し操作を、顎を上げる再噛挟みをする口動作によって適正噛挟み姿勢に復帰させて使用することができる。 また使用者が口を下向きにして開ける時や大きく口をあけて発声する場合でも、上歯内係合部2wが上側の歯列B内に局部的な係合をするため、噛挟み具1の口外れを好適に規制すると共に、再噛みによる適正噛挟み姿勢への復帰を妨げることなく簡単に復帰させることができる等の特徴がある。また内向きの傾斜面をなす左右の上歯内係合部2wを有する噛挟み具1は、異なる口の大きさに対応した噛挟みをすることができると共に、噛挟み直し操作をより行い易くすることができる。尚、左右の噛み部2aを口内で舌動部5によって連結するタイプの噛挟み具1では、上記上歯内係合部2wは舌動部5の基部側に突出させて設けることができ、また左右の噛み部2aを後述するように内側非噛み部2bとして繋ぐように設けられる舌動操作部28は、舌ガイド体28a等の両側の壁面が歯歯列内に係合する上歯内係合部2w或いは下歯内係合部5w等として利用することができる。 [Shape of upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w and front side movement restriction / biting re-pinching operation and usage method] Then, the biting tool 1 is placed inside the front part of the left and right biting portions 2a on the inner surface side of the predetermined back teeth of the upper dentition B. An intradental engaging portion 2w that can be partially contacted with the tooth is projected. It is desirable that the upper intradental engaging portion 2w is formed in a chevron-shaped protrusion having an inclined side that rises from the rear to the front, and further, the top side of the inclined side is inwardly inclined or curved. As a result, when the biting portion 2a is inserted into the back of the mouth and the biting tool 1 is gripped, the upper tooth inner engaging portion 2w smoothly enters the left and right back sides of the upper dentition B via the left and right inclined sides. It is possible to make a partial point contact with the left and right predetermined back teeth. As a result, the biting tool 1 can easily make point contact with the left and right predetermined back teeth, and can easily prevent the back teeth from being displaced in the left-right direction without imposing a burden such as difficulty in biting on the back teeth. The anterior movement of the tool 1 can be regulated through contact between the upper intradental engaging portion 2w and the curved dog tooth and other anterior teeth of the dentition B. Then, since the front movement of the biting body 2 is restricted by the contact between the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w and the anterior tooth, the re-pinching operation without using a hand is performed by re-biting to raise the jaw. It can be used by returning it to the proper pinching posture by mouth movement. Further, even when the user opens the mouth downward or opens the mouth wide and utters, the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w locally engages in the upper dentition B, so that the biting tool 1 It has the characteristics that it can be easily returned without hindering the return to the proper biting posture by re-biting, while appropriately regulating the disengagement of the mouth. Further, the biting tool 1 having the left and right upper tooth intradental engaging portions 2w forming an inwardly inclined surface can perform biting and pinching corresponding to different mouth sizes, and it is easier to perform a re-biting operation. can do. In the type of biting tool 1 in which the left and right biting portions 2a are connected by the tongue moving portion 5 in the mouth, the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w can be provided so as to project toward the base side of the tongue moving portion 5. Further, the tongue movement operating portion 28 provided so as to connect the left and right biting portions 2a as the inner non-biting portion 2b, as described later, is provided in the upper tooth where the wall surfaces on both sides of the tongue guide body 28a and the like engage in the dentition. It can be used as an engaging portion 2w, an intradental engaging portion 5w, or the like.

〔舌動部の下曲げ・下歯内係合部5wと先端位置・舌トレーニング・口角上げ運動〕 そして、図示例の噛挟み具1は、湾曲形状の舌動部5を左右の噛み部2aの前部から曲げ部を介し中央部(前端部)を下向きに形成することにより、舌の前伸ばしや舌先回し及び口唇から舌を突出させるベロ出し等の舌運動を、従来のもののように舌動部5が邪魔することなく口を開けたとき噛挟み具1を安易に口外れさせることなく、舌動部5を舌下に保持しながらスムーズに行うことができるようにしている。 即ち、従来の噛挟み具1は、舌動部5を形成する内側非噛み部2bを下側歯列Bに近接させるように延長しているため、伸ばした舌先が常に舌動部5に接触する違和感を有していること、及びベロ出し時や口を大きく開ける際に舌動部5が下歯列Bを安易に乗り上げたり舌先に押されて噛挟み具1の口外れを生じ易いものである。 一方、実施形態の舌動部5は在来のものに比し湾曲先端(下端)側を、前歯から離して口奥にしながら舌下で舌の付け根部に近接した位置で、且つ口腔底や歯肉に強く接当しない非疼痛位置に臨ませるように形成している。これにより口内で舌動部5を下向きにする噛挟み具1は、その通常噛挟み姿勢で舌動部5の前端部を舌裏で抑えた状態で口腔底と舌付け根部側に近接定置させるので、口を開けるとき安易な口外れを規制しながら噛挟みと舌トレーニングを継続し易くすると共に、後述するように低位舌の改善及び唾液分泌活性や舌下療法等を目的とした他用途利用を簡単に可能にする。 また舌動部5の前端部を下向きにして前歯から後方に離間させる噛挟み具1は、舌動部5の中央部(前端部)を舌下で舌付け根部側に近接定置するため、舌の裏側で湾曲面に沿って押接しながら左右移動させる新規的な舌回し運動(舌トレーニング)を可能にする。また噛挟みを緩めたとき口腔底から浮き上がり状態にできる舌動部5は、その先端下部に舌を一旦縮動してから差し入れて掬い上げる動作によって強い持ち上げと上げ付勢動作を可能にするので、口角接触部2kを口角部の唇角(口角後縁K)へ押接する口角上げ運動や、頂上部2m(顔前押接部2q)による外皮への押接を強弱自在にでき、接当刺激の調節を容易にすると共に噛挟みトレーニングの多様性を拡大することができる。 [Downward bending of the tongue movement part, lower tooth intradental engagement part 5w and tip position, tongue training, mouth angle raising movement] The biting tool 1 in the illustrated example has a curved tongue movement part 5 on the left and right biting parts 2a. By forming the central part (front end part) downward from the front part of the tongue through the bent part, tongue movements such as extending the tongue forward, turning the tip of the tongue, and protruding the tongue from the lips can be performed like the conventional one. When the moving part 5 opens its mouth without disturbing it, the biting tool 1 does not easily come off the mouth, and the tongue moving part 5 can be smoothly held under the tongue. That is, in the conventional biting tool 1, since the inner non-biting portion 2b forming the tongue moving portion 5 is extended so as to be close to the lower dentition B, the extended tongue tip always contacts the tongue moving portion 5. The tongue moving part 5 easily rides on the lower dentition B or is pushed by the tip of the tongue when the tongue is pulled out or the mouth is wide open, and the biting tool 1 is likely to come off. Is. On the other hand, the tongue movement portion 5 of the embodiment is located at a position closer to the base of the tongue under the tongue while keeping the curved tip (lower end) side away from the anterior teeth and in the back of the mouth, as compared with the conventional one. It is formed so that it faces a non-painful position where it does not come into strong contact with the gingiva. As a result, the biting tool 1 with the tongue moving part 5 facing downward in the mouth is placed close to the oral floor and the base of the tongue while the front end of the tongue moving part 5 is held down by the back of the tongue in the normal biting posture. Therefore, it is easy to continue biting and tongue training while restricting easy mouth removal when opening the mouth, and as described later, it is used for other purposes for the purpose of improving low tongue, salivary secretion activity, sublingual therapy, etc. Is easily possible. Further, in the biting tool 1 in which the front end portion of the tongue moving portion 5 is directed downward and separated from the front teeth posteriorly, the central portion (front end portion) of the tongue moving portion 5 is placed close to the base of the tongue under the tongue. It enables a new tongue-turning movement (tongue training) that moves left and right while pressing along the curved surface on the back side of the tongue. In addition, the tongue movement part 5, which can be lifted from the floor of the oral cavity when the bite is loosened, enables strong lifting and raising urging movements by the action of temporarily contracting the tongue to the lower part of the tip and then inserting and scooping up. , The mouth angle raising movement that presses the mouth corner contact part 2k to the lip corner of the mouth corner (the posterior edge K of the mouth corner) and the pressing to the exodermis by the top 2 m (front face pressing part 2q) can be performed freely. It can facilitate the regulation of stimuli and expand the variety of chewing training.

〔噛挟み直し操作・ベロ出し運動・なぞり動作・低位舌の改善・唾液分泌活性効果〕 また図示例の舌動部5は、その左右の基部側に下歯内係合部5wを形成し左
右の下歯に接当可能にすることにより、舌動部5の先端部と口腔底との高さ位置の保持を容易にしている。即ち、下歯内係合部5wは左右の噛み部2aの前下部側(舌動部基部側)に形成しており、その左右外幅を下側歯列Bの左右の奥歯側内幅と略等しくした状態でこの部から下向きU字状に湾曲させ、先端側を下側歯列Bの口内側歯茎から後方に離間した口腔底の深い位置に臨ませることにより、舌動部先端と口内との強い接当に伴う疼痛を回避した使用を可能にする。 これにより噛挟み具1は、下歯内係合部5wと奥歯側内面との部分接当(点接当)を介して左右方向の位置ズレを規制すると共に、両者の接当を介して口腔底との先端高さ前後位置等を保持し、舌動部先端と口内側歯茎及び口腔底との強い接当を回避しながら舌動部5の前端部を舌下で舌付根側に近接させることを可能にする。 そして、舌を舌動部5内を通し上に置いた状態で顎の上下運動により噛挟み姿勢を自ずと整える等の噛挟み直し操作を行い易くし、且つ舌を舌動部5の形状に倣い上下左右前後動かすなぞり動作をしながら口腔底又は口蓋の断面形状に沿った各種の舌回し運動の創出を可能にしている。つまり、上記構成される噛挟み具1は、舌先を舌動部5の前端部に接当させることのない通常噛挟み姿勢を保持することができ、舌回しや舌の前後運動及び舌を口唇から大きく伸ばし出すベロ出し等の舌運動を、舌動部5に邪魔されることなく自由且つ意識的に行うことを促進する等の特徴がある。 また口を開けたとき、舌先接触を回避して舌動部5の安易な前歯越えと前端部の前歯噛みを抑制し噛挟み具1の安易な口外れを防止するので、噛挟み具1の口内姿勢を変えて行う多様な噛挟み並びに発声等のトレーニングを行い易くすると共に、舌動部の前歯噛みを懸念することなく顎を上下させる噛挟み運動を促進し、長時間の噛挟み使用及び他用途の利用を促進することができる。そして、各種トレーニングを安易な口外れを抑制して長時間使用を可能にすると共に、舌動部前端部を舌下の舌付根側に置くことに伴う、低位舌の改善或いは唾液分泌活性や舌下療法等を目的とした他用途利用を行い易くすることができる等の特徴を創出する。
[Re-biting operation, tongue out movement, tracing movement, improvement of lower tongue, saliva secretion activation effect] In addition, the tongue movement part 5 in the illustrated example forms a lower tooth intradental engaging part 5w on the left and right base sides, and is left and right. By making it possible to contact the lower teeth, it is easy to maintain the height position between the tip of the tongue moving portion 5 and the floor of the oral cavity. That is, the lower tooth intradental engaging portion 5w is formed on the front lower side (tongue movement portion base side) of the left and right biting portions 2a, and the left and right outer widths are the left and right back tooth side inner widths of the lower dentition B. The tip of the tongue movement part and the mouth are curved downward from this part in a substantially equal state, and the tip side faces the deep position of the oral floor separated posteriorly from the medial gingiva of the lower dentition B. Allows use avoiding pain associated with strong contact with. As a result, the biting tool 1 regulates the positional deviation in the left-right direction through the partial contact (point contact) between the lower tooth intradental engaging portion 5w and the inner surface on the back tooth side, and the oral cavity through the contact between the two. Keep the tip height anterior-posterior position with the bottom, and bring the front end of the tongue movement 5 closer to the base of the tongue under the tongue while avoiding strong contact between the tip of the tongue movement and the medial gums of the mouth and the floor of the mouth. Make it possible. Then, with the tongue passed through the tongue moving portion 5 and placed on the tongue, it is easy to perform a re-pinching operation such as adjusting the biting posture by the vertical movement of the jaw, and the tongue follows the shape of the tongue moving portion 5. It makes it possible to create various tongue-turning movements along the cross-sectional shape of the oral floor or palate while tracing the movements up, down, left, right, and back. That is, the above-described biting tool 1 can maintain a normal biting posture in which the tip of the tongue is not brought into contact with the front end of the tongue moving portion 5, and the tongue is rotated, the tongue is moved back and forth, and the tongue is moved to the lips. It has a feature of promoting free and conscious tongue movement such as tongue sticking out from the tongue without being disturbed by the tongue movement part 5. Further, when the mouth is opened, contact with the tip of the tongue is avoided, the easy front tooth crossing of the tongue moving portion 5 and the front tooth biting of the front end portion are suppressed, and the easy mouth detachment of the biting tool 1 is prevented. It facilitates training such as various biting and vocalization by changing the posture of the mouth, and promotes the biting movement to raise and lower the jaw without worrying about the front tooth biting of the tongue movement part, and it can be used for a long time. It is possible to promote the use of other uses. In addition, various trainings can be used for a long time by suppressing easy dislodgement, and by placing the front end of the tongue movement part on the base side of the tongue under the tongue, improvement of the lower tongue or saliva secretion activity and tongue Create features such as facilitating use for other purposes for the purpose of saliva therapy.

〔ハニポ使用方法・舌下療法と実験例・供給材・花粉症・ネギ・緑茶ほか〕 ここで上記舌動部5を備える噛挟み具1を用いて行う新規的舌下療法の具体例として、風邪や喉痛時に好適な「のど飴舌下保持療法」の実験について説明する。 即ち、この場合に用いた供給材δ(試料)は、風邪や喉痛に対する薬効性が高く数センチの硬質立方体として市販されているのど飴1粒(ロッテ社製)であり、これを第1に、舌下に差し入れ口腔底に置く。第2に、上記構成の噛挟み具1を銜えながら舌動部5の先端でのど飴を舌の付根側に押しやり、こののち適正噛挟み姿勢にする。 そして、第3に、この時間からのど飴が溶けて全ての姿が消える時間(全消時間)を計測した。尚、この間のながら作業は、椅子に座って行う机上パソコン作業である。 結果、溶解全消時間は、約50分であり、噛挟み具1を使用しないでのど飴を舌の上において摂取する「通常のど飴摂取全消時間」が15分以下であるに対し3倍程度の長時間担持状態にすることができた。つまり、この新規噛挟み具1利用の舌下保持方法によれば、舌がのど飴を口腔底から引き出そうとする動作を抑制するため、舌上口腔内での舐め回しや噛み砕きを抑制でき、且つ舌下での単なる軽接触溶解と唾液溶解とによる緩やかな成分摂取を効率よく可能にする。また唾液分泌活性を伴いながら糖分の急激摂取も抑制することができる等の利点を確認した。 [How to use Hanipo-Sublingual therapy and experimental examples-Supply material-Pollenosis-Negi-Green tea, etc.] Here, as a specific example of a novel sublingual therapy performed using the chewing tool 1 provided with the tongue movement part 5. An experiment of "throat lozenge sublingual retention therapy" suitable for colds and sore throats will be described. That is, the supply material δ (sample) used in this case is one throat lozenge (manufactured by Lotte Co., Ltd.), which has a high medicinal effect on colds and sore throats and is commercially available as a hard cube of several centimeters. Insert it under the tongue and place it on the floor of the mouth. Secondly, the throat lozenge at the tip of the tongue moving portion 5 is pushed toward the base of the tongue while holding the biting tool 1 having the above configuration, and then the proper biting posture is obtained. Then, thirdly, the time from which the throat lozenge melts and all the figures disappear (total disappearance time) was measured. During this period, the work is a desk computer work performed while sitting on a chair. As a result, the total dissolution time is about 50 minutes, which is three times as long as the "normal total throat candy intake time" of ingesting throat lozenges on the tongue without using the chewing tool 1 is 15 minutes or less. It was possible to keep it in a supported state for a long time. That is, according to the sublingual holding method using this new biting tool 1, since the movement of the tongue trying to pull out the throat lozenge from the floor of the oral cavity is suppressed, licking and chewing in the supraclavicular oral cavity can be suppressed, and Efficiently enables gradual intake of ingredients by mere light contact dissolution under the tongue and saliva dissolution. In addition, it was confirmed that it has advantages such as being able to suppress rapid intake of sugar while being accompanied by salivary secretion activity.

尚、上記方法において、のど飴(被保持物)と舌との直接的な接触或いは舌動部5の上方越えを規制したい場合には図6(c)に2点鎖線で示すように、舌動部5の先端側から後方に向けて供給規制片5fを突設すると前記全消時間をさらに伸ばすことができる。また供給材δは飴玉のような球体に限定することなく、例えば図14に2点鎖線で示すように舌動部5や必要箇所に巻き付け可能なシート状材やゼリー状物、また舌動部5又は噛み部2aに設置される任意担持手段に対し、含侵又は塗布又は巻き付け可能な部材と供給手段にしてもよい。 この場合には、適正時間と微量供給が日々求められる花粉症療法に利便性を有し好適化することができると共に、シニア層に至るまでハニトレ効果の併有とハニトレの習慣化を促進することができる。 一方供給材δは、脳血流を促し免疫力を高めることが顕著なネギ香類等の香材料にすると、新規的な香り供給手段及び療法を創出することができる。 また緑茶成分を含有する供給材δにする場合は、万病因の歯周病菌対策に有効な担持供給手段とケア療法を新規的に創出することができる。 また供給材δの供給使用方法は、図示例の他に図10他に示す筒状や箆状他の舌動操作部28を備える噛挟み具1を舌下療法用ツールとして好適化することができる。 In the above method, when it is desired to restrict the direct contact between the throat lozenge (holding object) and the tongue or the upper crossing of the tongue moving portion 5, the tongue is shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 6 (c). By projecting the supply control piece 5f from the tip end side of the moving portion 5 toward the rear, the total consumption time can be further extended. Further, the supply material δ is not limited to a sphere such as a candy ball, and for example, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 14, a sheet-like material or a jelly-like material that can be wrapped around the tongue movement portion 5 or a necessary place, or a tongue movement. A member and a supply means that can be impregnated, coated, or wound around the arbitrary supporting means installed in the portion 5 or the biting portion 2a may be used. In this case, it is possible to make it convenient and suitable for pollinosis therapy, which requires an appropriate time and a small amount of supply on a daily basis, and to promote the coexistence of the Hanitre effect and the habituation of Hanitre up to the senior level. Can be done. On the other hand, if the supply material δ is used as a scent material such as green onion scent, which is remarkable in promoting cerebral blood flow and enhancing immunity, a new scent supply means and therapy can be created.

Further, a small amount can be supplied to the tongue moving portion 5 by an arbitrary supporting means.

〔鼻孔接触具11と・鼻詰り改善・筋強化・唾液免疫・呼吸・人間スピーカ〕
また鼻孔接触具11を併用して噛挟み具1の噛挟みを行う際には、使用者が孔内接触部11による鼻孔内接触刺激を所望に付与しながら鼻呼吸を意識し易くなるため、舌筋や口筋並びに鼻筋や副鼻腔等を自ずと効率よく強化促進することができ唾液分泌も促すことができる。従って、老化に伴い生じ易い睡眠時無呼吸症候群や睡眠障害及び免疫力低下等の疾病も、簡単且つ効果的に改善又は予防をすることができる。
また鼻孔内接触刺激並びに鼻運動は、鼻と鼻粘膜の血液循環を活性し粘膜液や唾液分泌を促すため、鼻詰りの改善及び鼻孔乾燥等の鼻持病の改善も図り易くする。
他方、近年試されて使用方法が検討されている「人間スピーカ」としての分野では、例えば在来型のイヤホンを鼻孔内に臨ませることで、音声や振動音を鼻腔共鳴を介して聞いたり、ここから口腔共鳴を介して発したりする際には、上記イヤホンを噛挟み具1及び取付手段7を介し、鼻孔に無理させることなく且つ呼吸し易い形状と態様によって装着することができる。
[Nostril contact device 11 and improvement of nasal obstruction / muscle strengthening / saliva immunity / breathing / human speaker]
Further, when the nostril contacting tool 11 is used in combination to bite the biting tool 1, the user can easily be aware of nasal breathing while appropriately applying the intranasal contact stimulus by the intranasal contact portion 11. The tongue muscle, mouth muscle, nasal muscle, paranasal sinuses, etc. can be naturally and efficiently strengthened and promoted, and saliva secretion can also be promoted. Therefore, diseases such as sleep apnea syndrome, sleep disorders, and weakened immunity, which are likely to occur with aging, can be easily and effectively improved or prevented.
In addition, intranasal contact stimulation and nasal movement activate blood circulation between the nose and the nasal mucosa to promote mucosal fluid and saliva secretion, so that it is easy to improve nasal obstruction and nostril dryness and other nasal retention diseases.
On the other hand, in the field of "human speakers" that have been tried in recent years and whose usage is being studied, for example, by placing a conventional earphone in the nostril, voice and vibration sounds can be heard through nasal resonance. When emitting from here via oral resonance, the earphone can be attached via the biting tool 1 and the attachment means 7 in a shape and mode that makes it easy to breathe without forcing the nostrils.

Further, the biting tool 1 may be provided with a shiatsu tool 14 for acupressure at a desired part of the face such as around the mouth and around the eyes, as described later.

〔唾液腺マッサージによるドライマウス・免疫力対応〕 これにより使用者は、噛挟み具1を噛挟みしたとき唾液腺接触具15を顎の下部に臨ませ、腺接触部15aが外皮を介し唾液腺Qを撫でるように接当できるため、顎下唾液腺による唾液分泌を簡単且つ確実に促すことができる。また唾液腺接触具15は、噛挟み具1の外側非噛み部2s側に上記取付構造によって接触位置を調節可能に取付けられるため、滑舌トレーニング時等の口の動きに対応し、唾液腺への接触刺激を恰もマッサージをするように無理なく付与することができる。従って、噛挟み具1を利用して設けた唾液腺接触具15は、唾液腺マッサージを前記各種の噛挟みトレーニングに合わせて利便性を有して同時に行うことができると共に、唾液分泌活性により舌の乾燥を防ぎドライマウス症候の改善、並びに唾液増加による免疫性の向上を簡潔で安価な構成によって容易に行うことができる等の特徴がある。 尚、唾液腺接触具15の腺接触部15aを動力的に運動させる場合には、動力機器等の運動手段を接続部15bのスペースを利用することにより簡単且つコンパクトに設けることができる。また上記構成による唾液腺接触具15は、図2,図3に示すように装着部材8に支持しても好適に使用することができる。この場合に取付杆7bは顎下側から上向きに湾曲させた両端を左右の支持部材9に各連結することにより、取付杆7bによって支持部材9の拡開を規制しながら、取付杆7bに唾液腺接触具15を前記取付手段と同様に取付けて使用することができる。 [Dry mouth and immunity support by salivary gland massage] As a result, when the user bites the bite pinch 1, the salivary gland contact tool 15 faces the lower part of the jaw, and the gland contact portion 15a strokes the salivary gland Q through the outer skin. It is possible to easily and surely promote saliva secretion by the submandibular salivary glands. Further, since the salivary gland contacting tool 15 is attached to the outer non-biting portion 2s side of the biting tool 1 so that the contact position can be adjusted by the above-mentioned attachment structure, it corresponds to the movement of the mouth during tongue training and the like, and contacts the salivary glands. The stimulus can be comfortably given as if it were a massage. Therefore, the salivary gland contact tool 15 provided by using the bite pinch 1 can perform salivary gland massage at the same time with convenience in accordance with the various bite trainings, and the tongue is dried by the saliva secretion activity. It has features such as prevention of dry mouth, improvement of dry mouth symptoms, and improvement of immunity by increasing saliva with a simple and inexpensive configuration. When the gland contact portion 15a of the salivary gland contact tool 15 is to be moved dynamically, an exercise means such as a power device can be easily and compactly provided by using the space of the connection portion 15b. Further, the salivary gland contacting tool 15 having the above configuration can be suitably used even if it is supported by the mounting member 8 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In this case, the mounting rod 7b connects both ends curved upward from the submandibular side to the left and right support members 9, so that the mounting rod 7b regulates the expansion of the support member 9, and the salivary glands are attached to the mounting rod 7b. The contact tool 15 can be attached and used in the same manner as the attachment means.

〔図3の口角係止具16による笑顔トレーニング開発化〕 上記左右の支持部材9は、内向きに曲げた先端部に口角係止具16の口角接触軸部16aを挿入支持している。この口角係止具16は、口角接触軸部16aに口角後縁Kの内面に接触係止できる口角内接触片16bを突設している。これにより支持部材9に設けた左右の口角係止具16は、左右の口角部内に挿入した状態で口角接触軸部16aによって口角後縁Kを後方に向けて張り支持すると共に、口角内接触片16bが口角後縁内に引っ掛かり抜け止めをする。従って、口角係止具16の口角後縁部による噛挟みを適正姿勢で行い易くすると共に、口角上げを行なう笑顔トレーニングを長時間にわたり楽に行うことができる等の利点を創出する。 [Development of smile training using the mouth angle locking tool 16 in FIG. 3] The left and right support members 9 insert and support the mouth corner contact shaft portion 16a of the mouth corner locking tool 16 at the tip portion bent inward. The mouth angle locking tool 16 projects a mouth corner contact piece 16b that can be contact-locked to the inner surface of the mouth corner trailing edge K on the mouth corner contact shaft portion 16a. As a result, the left and right mouth corner locking tools 16 provided on the support member 9 are inserted into the left and right mouth corner portions, and the mouth corner contact shaft portion 16a stretches and supports the rear edge K of the mouth corner toward the rear, and the mouth corner contact piece 16b is caught in the trailing edge of the corner of the mouth to prevent it from coming off. Therefore, it is easy to pinch the mouth angle locking tool 16 by the trailing edge of the mouth corner in an appropriate posture, and it is possible to easily perform smile training for raising the mouth angle for a long time.

〔図3の指圧用具14による口周り外皮押接刺激・噛挟み負荷付与トレーニング化〕 一方、前記装着部材8は、口角係止具16を備える左右の支持部材9の先端部に図3に示す形状の噛挟み具1を着脱自在に設ける構造とし、これにより上記笑顔トレーニングと噛挟みトレーニングと各種の機能器具6を利用した多様な使用を融合選択自在とし利便性を向上させている。図3に示す噛挟み具1は、噛み本体2の噛み部2aに連なる口角接触部2k側を、前記支持部材9の先端部に係脱自在に挿入する等の手段によって取付けるようにしている。この場合の取付杆7bは、2点鎖線で示すように湾曲させた部材の両端を左右の外側非噛み部2sに着脱自在に設ける構成とし、前記鼻部用器具6aや指圧用具14等を取付け自在にしている。 [Training for stimulating exodermis pressing and pinching load by using the acupressure tool 14 in FIG. 3] On the other hand, the mounting member 8 is shown in FIG. 3 at the tips of the left and right support members 9 provided with the mouth angle locking tool 16. The structure is such that the chewing tool 1 having a shape is detachably provided, whereby the smile training, the chewing training, and various uses using various functional devices 6 can be combined and selected to improve convenience. The biting tool 1 shown in FIG. 3 is attached by means such as inserting the mouth angle contact portion 2k side connected to the biting portion 2a of the biting body 2 into the tip end portion of the support member 9 so as to be detachably inserted. In this case, the mounting rod 7b has a configuration in which both ends of the curved member are detachably provided on the left and right outer non-biting portions 2s as shown by the alternate long and short dash line, and the nose device 6a, the acupressure tool 14 and the like are mounted. I am free.

図3の指圧用具14は、取付杆7bに取付け自在なベース14aに対をなして立設するアーム14bの先端に外皮接触部(外皮作用部)14cを設けることにより、左右の外皮接触部14cを口周りや鼻周りにある図2に*印で示すツボ外皮部に押圧力調節自在に接触してツボ刺激を付与し、且つ各アーム14bに設けた弾力付勢機構14dによって左右の外皮接触部14cを内側又は外側に向け刺激付勢自在にしている。 これにより外皮接触部14cは、顔の前方から後方に向けて押圧する前後押接と内向き押接を付勢することができるため、笑顔トレーニング等をツボ刺激に伴う気持ちよさを相乗して効果的に行う等の特徴がある。 尚、指圧用具14の外皮接触部14cは、2点鎖線で示すように支持部材9側に弾性力を有して屈伸自在に設け、また支持部材9に2点鎖線で示すように口角係止具16の内側に向けて設けてもよい。また外皮接触部14cは装着部材8側に設けることもでき、この場合には額、コメカミ、眉、眼周り等を指圧し易くすることができる。 さらに、外皮接触部14cは図6,図7に示すようにほうれい線を消す作用を有するようにすること、また口角部に対しスマイル効果を高めるように刺激付与するように構成でき、且つ刺激付与は動力によって所定方向に押動又は振動可能に設けることもできる。また図示例の外皮接触部14cは、必要により鼻孔内に通気可能に挿入して利用する内皮接触部14cにすることができ、また図示例の外皮接触部14cは必要により鼻孔内に通気可能に挿入して利用する内皮接触部14cにすることができる。 In the acupressure tool 14 of FIG. 3, the left and right exodermis contact portions 14c are provided by providing the exodermis contact portion (exodermis action portion) 14c at the tip of the arm 14b which is erected in pairs with the base 14a which can be attached to the attachment rod 7b.

[Explanation of the configuration of the biting tool 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the various functional appliances 6, accessories, etc., and the usage mode]
Next, another embodiment of the biting tool 1 and various functional devices 6 and accessories (accessory tools) and the like attached to the biting tool 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 4, and 14. The same configurations and operations as those of the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted. Further, as the biting tool 1 shown in FIG. 4, the biting tool 1 of the aspect shown in FIG. 14 is used.
Here, to explain the outline of the biting tool 1 of FIG. 14, the biting main body 2 of the biting tool 1 includes the tongue moving portion 5 and the rear bending portion 5c, as in the case of the first embodiment of FIG. In order to provide the biting portion 2a, the mouth angle contact portion 2k, and the outer non-biting portion 2s, the mouth angle upper extension portion 2L is provided from the biting portions 2a on both sides of the inner non-biting portion 2b (tongue moving portion 5) via the mouth angle contact portion 2k. In the middle of the outer non-biting portion 2s inclined upward, a top 2m to be a finger pressure device 14 is formed by a bending valley portion 2u that folds a mountain, and the outer non-biting portion 2s is directed downward from the top 2m. The grip portion 10 and the pillow portion 3 are formed by bending the grip portion 10. Then, the end side curved forward and inward from the grounding end can be configured as the mounting rod 7b. As shown in FIG. 4, the biting tool 1 can be equipped with a pipe member having an arbitrary member and a shape as a connecting mounting rod 7e at the ends of the left and right mounting rods 7b having free ends. The connecting mounting rod 7e can be a pillow portion 3 and a grip portion 10 as needed, and can also be a mounting member for the various functional appliances 6 and the like.

即ち、図4の噛挟み具1は、舌動部5より後方下方に位置して前方に延びる左右の取付杆7bを枕部3と把持部10にして仮置きでき、仮置き姿勢において、後方下り傾斜の外側非噛み部2s(把持部10)と取付杆7b(枕部3)との間に指を差し入れる摘み空間部を形成する。これにより枕部3を接地させたとき床面Aから後方下り傾斜で立ち上がり状態になっている外側非噛み部2sを把持部10として、摘み空間部に指を差入れ引っ掛けて把持部10を速やか容易に摘まみ把持して持ち上げ、次いで左右の枕部3を把持部として摘み持ち替えて口方向に引き操作し、口に噛み部2aを入れ左右の口角後縁Kに口角接触部2kを均等的に押接する銜え作業をスムーズにすることができる。また後下り傾斜の外側非噛み部2s(把持部10)の外側端から前方に向けて内向きに曲げ延長する取付杆7bは、顎の前側或は下側に視界を邪魔することなく臨ませることができると共に、強度を有して機能器具6やモニタ等各種の付属品3mを取付け易くすることができる。 That is, in the biting tool 1 of FIG. 4, the left and right mounting rods 7b located rearward and lower than the tongue moving portion 5 and extending forward can be temporarily placed as the pillow portion 3 and the grip portion 10, and can be temporarily placed in the rearward position. A gripping space for inserting a finger is formed between the downwardly inclined outer non-biting portion 2s (grip portion 10) and the mounting rod 7b (pillow portion 3). As a result, when the pillow portion 3 is grounded, the outer non-biting portion 2s that is in a rising state with a backward downward inclination from the floor surface A is used as the grip portion 10, and the grip portion 10 is quickly and easily hooked by inserting a finger into the gripping space portion. Then pick and hold the left and right pillows 3 as grips and pull them toward the mouth, insert the bite 2a into the mouth, and evenly apply the mouth corner contact parts 2k to the left and right mouth corner trailing edges K. It is possible to smooth the pressing work. Further, the mounting rod 7b that bends and extends inward from the outer end of the outer non-biting portion 2s (grip portion 10) that is inclined backward and downward can face the front side or the lower side of the jaw without obstructing the field of view. In addition to being able to do so, it is possible to have strength and make it easy to attach various accessories 3 m such as a functional device 6 and a monitor.

そして、この噛挟み具1は左右の噛み部2aを噛挟みしたとき、上り傾斜の頂上部2mが口角部の上方側に位置し口角接触部2kが口角後縁Kを上方側に付勢しながら押接するので、笑顔状態を強くした口角部接触刺激を付与して顔筋トレーニング及び噛挟み運動の効果を高めることができる等の特徴がある。
さらに、この噛挟み具1は、上記のような順手噛挟み態様とは逆に、噛挟み具1を前後反転させて舌動部5の前端側を舌の下方に差し入れた逆手噛挟み(前後反転使用)態様で使用するとき、取付杆7bを顎の下に臨ませ接触可能状態にすることもでき噛み本体2を安定的に噛挟みすることができる。この場合には舌動部5の先端を舌下方に差し入れた逆手態様の適正噛挟み姿勢を保持して、舌下唾液腺からの唾液分泌を効率よく促進することができる。また顎下に臨ませる取付杆7bは、必要により顎下の唾液腺に外皮側から接触させる唾液分泌促進具として使用できる利点があると共に、後述する顔ヨガ使用タイプの噛挟み具1としても好適に使用することができる。
When the left and right biting portions 2a are pinched by the biting tool 1, the top 2 m of the uphill inclination is located on the upper side of the corner of the mouth, and the corner contact portion 2k urges the trailing edge K of the corner of the mouth upward. Since it is pressed while pressing, it has a feature that the effect of facial muscle training and biting exercise can be enhanced by giving a contact stimulus to the corner of the mouth that strengthens the smiling state.
Further, in the chewing tool 1, contrary to the above-described forward-handed pinching mode, the chewing tool 1 is inverted back and forth and the front end side of the tongue moving portion 5 is inserted below the tongue (front and back). When used in the inverted use mode, the mounting rod 7b can be placed under the jaw to be in a contactable state, and the biting body 2 can be stably pinched. In this case, it is possible to efficiently promote saliva secretion from the sublingual salivary glands by maintaining an appropriate pinching posture in which the tip of the tongue moving portion 5 is inserted below the tongue. Further, the attachment rod 7b facing under the chin has an advantage that it can be used as a saliva secretion promoting tool that contacts the salivary glands under the chin from the exodermis side if necessary, and is also suitable as a face yoga use type chewing tool 1 described later. Can be used.

また噛挟み具1は、左右の枕部3側から前方に向けて伸びる取付杆7bの端部を連結すると、強度を備えたコンパクトで取扱い易い意匠性に勝れたデザインにすることができると共に、取付杆7bを利用して壁等に突設されるフック部に引っ掛けることができ、利便性を有して衛生的な仮置きや収納をし易くすることができる。
一方、噛挟み具1は、取付杆7bを枕部3の先端側から2点鎖線で示すように上方に向けて立ち上げることも容易であり、この場合には顔前周りで円弧状をなす取付杆7bの上部に対し、眼部用器具6cや必要具を簡潔な構成によって取付け易くすることができる。上記構成による噛挟み具1は可撓性を有する線状部材による折り曲げ加工手段によって簡単安価に製作することができると共に、各人の口に合わせた各寸法の微調整を容易にすることができ使用し易くすることができる等の特徴がある。また噛挟み具1を可撓性を有する針金で形成する場合には、少なくとも噛み部2aと口角接触部2kと外側非噛み部2sに合成樹脂又は合成樹脂製パイプ等によって覆うことが望ましい。尚、この場合も外側非噛み部2s或は取付杆7bを、図6で示す噛挟み具1と同様な前後方向に広幅な断面形状にしてもよい。
Further, the biting tool 1 can be designed to be strong, compact and easy to handle by connecting the ends of the mounting rods 7b extending forward from the left and right pillow portions 3 side. , The mounting rod 7b can be used to hook the hook portion protruding from the wall or the like, and it is possible to have convenience and facilitate hygienic temporary storage and storage.
On the other hand, the biting tool 1 can easily raise the mounting rod 7b upward from the tip end side of the pillow portion 3 as shown by a two-dot chain line. In this case, the biting tool 1 forms an arc shape around the front of the face. The eye device 6c and necessary tools can be easily attached to the upper part of the attachment rod 7b by a simple structure. The biting tool 1 having the above configuration can be easily and inexpensively manufactured by bending means using a flexible linear member, and fine adjustment of each dimension according to each person's mouth can be facilitated. It has features such as being easy to use.

〔図9の分割型噛挟み具とリモコン用操作手段・舌動操作部・触覚発信手段〕 次に、図9〜図13に示す第2グループ類の各図の概要と各実施形態を説明する。
図9は分割型の噛挟み具1と操作手段26の実施形態であり、図10は筒状の舌動操作部28と噛み部2a等をシリコン等の合成樹脂製によって一体的な噛挟み具1及び操作手段26にする実施形態であり、図11〜図13はさらに各種別実施形態の噛挟み具1と操作手段26の各態様を示す説明図である。
先ず、図9の噛挟み具1は、その噛み本体2を内側非噛み部2bを接続部材2xとして中央本体にしており、その両側に側本体としての把持部10と枕部3を形成する被接続部材2yを接続して構成している。接続部材2xは、舌動部5の基部両側に後屈曲部5cを介して上記把持部10を挿入支持する軸部2jを形成し、且つ口内噛挟み手段として軸部2jの基部側を薄噛みトレーニング用の噛み部2aにしている。
一方、被接続部材2yは、上記軸部2jにスライド自在に挿入する取付孔2zを穿設しており、その側本体の外周に厚噛み部2cと把持部10と枕部3とを一体的に形成している。また把持部10の内部には、前記コントローラ26b或は任意な付属品3m等を設置又は収納可能な中空の収納部10sを形成している。
[Split-type biting tool of FIG. 9, remote control operation means, tongue movement operation unit, tactile transmission means] Next, an outline of each figure of the second group shown in FIGS. 9 to 13 and each embodiment will be described. ..
FIG. 9 shows an embodiment of the split-type biting tool 1 and the operating means 26, and FIG. 10 shows the tubular tongue movement operating portion 28 and the biting portion 2a, etc., which are integrally made of a synthetic resin such as silicon. 1 and the operating means 26 are embodiments, and FIGS. 11 to 13 are explanatory views showing each aspect of the biting tool 1 and the operating means 26 of various different embodiments.
First, in the biting tool 1 of FIG. 9, the biting main body 2 has an inner non-biting portion 2b as a connecting member 2x as a central main body, and a grip portion 10 as a side main body and a pillow portion 3 are formed on both sides thereof. It is configured by connecting the connecting member 2y. The connecting member 2x forms a shaft portion 2j that inserts and supports the grip portion 10 via the rear bending portion 5c on both sides of the base portion of the tongue moving portion 5, and thinly bites the base portion side of the shaft portion 2j as a mouth biting means. It is a bite part 2a for training.
On the other hand, the connected member 2y is provided with a mounting hole 2z that is slidably inserted into the shaft portion 2j, and a thick biting portion 2c, a grip portion 10 and a pillow portion 3 are integrally formed on the outer periphery of the side main body thereof. Is formed in. Further, inside the grip portion 10, a hollow storage portion 10s in which the controller 26b or an optional accessory 3m or the like can be installed or stored is formed.

把持部10は、径小な内側端から径大な枕部3側に向けて、例えば図9(c)に示すような断面を有する錐形状によって形成しており、その内側寄りに噛み部2aの直径(噛み厚)より数ミリ程大きい厚噛み部2cを設けている。つまり、この噛挟み具1は、前記図1に示すものと同様に背面視又は正面視において、例えば噛み部2aの上下方向の噛み厚(上下幅)が5ミリ程度である場合に、厚噛み部2cの噛み厚は7〜15ミリ程度に順次変化させるように形成している。また噛挟み具1は、その平面視形状を把持部10を中心として略逆ヘ字形状をなすと共に、前後方向の噛み厚(前後幅)を7ミリ程度から20ミリ程度に順次変化させて形成している。尚、接続部材2xが3ミリ程度又はそれ以下の場合は、把持部10側に薄噛みトレーニングを行う噛み部2aを設けることが望ましい。 The grip portion 10 is formed in a conical shape having a cross section as shown in FIG. 9C, for example, from the inner end having a small diameter toward the pillow portion 3 having a large diameter, and the biting portion 2a is formed toward the inside thereof. A thick bite portion 2c that is several millimeters larger than the diameter (bite thickness) of the above is provided. That is, this biting tool 1 is thickly bitten when, for example, the biting thickness (vertical width) in the vertical direction of the biting portion 2a is about 5 mm in the rear view or the front view as shown in FIG. The bite thickness of the portion 2c is formed so as to be sequentially changed to about 7 to 15 mm. Further, the biting tool 1 is formed by forming a substantially inverted U-shape with the grip portion 10 as the center and gradually changing the biting thickness (front-back width) in the front-rear direction from about 7 mm to about 20 mm. are doing. When the connecting member 2x is about 3 mm or less, it is desirable to provide a biting portion 2a for thin biting training on the grip portion 10 side.

以上のように構成される噛挟み具1は、把持部10を接続部材2xに左右方向移動調節自在にしているので、図9(a)に示す実線位置では歯列Bに5ミリ程度の噛み厚を有した噛み部2aを臨ませて薄噛みトレーニングを行うことができ、且つここから把持部10を内側移動させることにより、厚噛み部2cによる7ミリ以上の噛み厚による厚噛みトレーニングを行うことができる。尚、接続部材2xの直径を3ミリ以下にする場合には、把持部10側に直径5ミリ程度の噛み部2aを厚噛み部2cに隣接させて一体的に形成してもよいものである。また薄噛みトレーニングと厚噛みトレーニングの切換えは、舌動部5の左右幅を変更して行う噛み位置切換手段にすることができる。さらに、この噛挟み具1は把持部10を接続部材2xの軸部2jに挿入しているため、図9(c)に示す実線位置から舌動部5の口内姿勢を変えることなく、90度回転させた2点鎖線にすることができ、厚噛み部2cの噛挟み面を異ならせて噛み厚を変更することができる。 In the biting tool 1 configured as described above, since the grip portion 10 is adjustable to move in the left-right direction to the connecting member 2x, the bite of about 5 mm in the dentition B at the solid line position shown in FIG. 9A. the thickness can be performed biting portion 2a of the face was in thin chewing training has, and by moving the inner side gripping part 10 here, thick bite portion by 2c 7 mm or more chewing thickness due to the thickness chew training It can be performed. When the diameter of the connecting member 2x is 3 mm or less, a bite portion 2a having a diameter of about 5 mm may be integrally formed on the grip portion 10 side adjacent to the thick bite portion 2c. .. Further, the switching between the thin biting training and the thick biting training can be performed by changing the left and right width of the tongue moving portion 5 as a biting position switching means. Further, since the grip portion 10 is inserted into the shaft portion 2j of the connecting member 2x in the biting tool 1, the tongue moving portion 5 does not change the oral posture from the solid line position shown in FIG. 9 (c) by 90 degrees. It can be a rotated two-dot chain line, and the biting thickness can be changed by making the biting surface of the thick biting portion 2c different.

即ち、図示例の把持部10は、上下方向の厚さ(上下幅)を小とし前後方向の厚さ(前後幅)を大としているので、把持部10を略90度回転させた2点鎖線姿勢で噛挟みすると、実線姿勢で噛挟みする場合に比べてより厚噛みを可能にする。尚、把持部10は舌動部5に対し略90度ねじり回転操作を可能にする材質と構造にできる。 そして、把持部10は、平面視において内側を小幅とし外側を徐々に大幅にした流線形状の把持部10となし、その外側端に肉厚な枕部3を形成しているため、使用者は肉厚で大幅な枕部3とその近傍を安定的に把持した状態で噛挟みを行い易くする。 また噛み本体2を平面視で逆ヘ字形状に形成した噛挟み具1は、外側端側で把持部となる枕部3が逆ヘ字形状になって口前側に偏倚して臨んでいるため、使用者は顔のより前側にある枕部3を摘み把持し易くなると共に、口への挿脱及び噛挟み位置の調節操作等を行い易くすることができる。また前記各機能器具6等は、把持部10に対し前記図1で示す噛挟み具1と同様に取付けることができる。 That is, since the grip portion 10 in the illustrated example has a small thickness in the vertical direction (vertical width) and a large thickness in the front-rear direction (front-rear width), the two-dot chain line obtained by rotating the grip portion 10 by approximately 90 degrees. Biting in the posture enables thicker biting than in the case of pinching in the solid line posture. The grip portion 10 can be made of a material and a structure that enables a twisting and rotating operation of approximately 90 degrees with respect to the tongue moving portion 5. The grip portion 10 is a streamlined grip portion 10 having a narrow inside and a gradually large outside in a plan view, and a thick pillow portion 3 is formed at the outer end thereof. Makes it easier to bite in a state where the thick and large pillow portion 3 and its vicinity are stably gripped. Further, in the biting tool 1 in which the biting body 2 is formed in an inverted F shape in a plan view, the pillow portion 3 serving as a grip portion on the outer end side has an inverted F shape and faces the front side of the mouth. , The user can easily pick and hold the pillow portion 3 on the front side of the face, and can easily perform operations such as insertion / removal into the mouth and adjustment of the biting position. Further, each of the functional instruments 6 and the like can be attached to the grip portion 10 in the same manner as the biting tool 1 shown in FIG.

次に、図9(d)を参照し上記噛挟み具1の使用態様例並びに他の実施形態等について説明する。この噛挟み具1は、輪ゴム(ゴム紐部材)や紐或は針金等からなる装着部材8を、把持部10の所望箇所に係脱自在又は一体的に取付ける貫通孔或は凹凸状の支持部2eを設けることにより、噛挟み具1の顔への確実な装着及び多様な使用を簡単且つ安価に行うようにしている。即ち、図示例の噛挟み具1は、支持部2eにゴム紐部材(図示例では輪ゴムを示す)の装着部材(弾性装着部材)を係脱自在に取付けることにより、左右の弾性装着部材8を両耳に掛けて顔に装着した状態で噛み本体2を口に銜えて噛挟み使用することができる。これにより使用者は、噛挟み具1を顔に装着した状態で必要により前側移動や反転姿勢に切換える使用ができる。 Next, an example of the usage mode of the biting tool 1 and other embodiments will be described with reference to FIG. 9D. The biting tool 1 is a through hole or an uneven support portion for detachably or integrally attaching a mounting member 8 made of a rubber band (rubber string member), a string, a wire, or the like to a desired portion of the grip portion 10. By providing 2e, the biting tool 1 can be securely attached to the face and various uses can be easily and inexpensively performed. That is, in the biting tool 1 of the illustrated example, the left and right elastic mounting members 8 are attached by detachably attaching the mounting member (elastic mounting member) of the rubber string member (showing the rubber band in the illustrated example) to the support portion 2e. It can be used by holding the chewing body 2 in the mouth and pinching it while it is hung on both ears and attached to the face. As a result, the user can switch to the front side movement or the reverse posture as necessary with the biting tool 1 attached to the face.

さらに、噛挟み具1は図9(d),図1に示すように、左右の把持部10側に2点鎖線で示すような装着部材8を着脱又は一体的に設けて使用することができる。この場合の噛挟み具1は、顔筋運動手段32を使用した運動を最奥歯側及び口角部の深い噛挟みを介して無理なく顔筋に伝えるため、入れ歯の人も楽に使用でき日頃鍛え難い顔の筋肉を強制的且つ楽に鍛えながら、健康効果や美顔小顔化等を期待できると共に、好奇心や楽しみも喚起しながら飽きを生じ難いトレーニングを行うことができる。 即ち、図示例の顔筋運動手段32は、帯板状或は丸棒状の弾性力を有する作動部材32aを把持部10側から側方に向けて所定長さで延長させると共に、その自由端部にウェイト(バランスウェイト)32bを設ける構成となし、顔を上下左右に動かす顔運動に基づき、上下や前後方向の振幅エネルギ及び遠心方向エネルギをより増大させることができる。また顔筋運動手段32は、作動部材32aの身長を口角接触基線Fに対し作動角αを有して設けると、ウェイト32b側を噛挟み部の前方に位置させた前方運動モーメントを付与しながら高効率トレーニングを可能にすることができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 9D and 1, the biting tool 1 can be used by detachably or integrally providing a mounting member 8 as shown by a two-dot chain line on the left and right gripping portions 10 side. .. In this case, the biting tool 1 transmits the movement using the facial muscle exercise means 32 to the facial muscles through the deep biting on the innermost tooth side and the corner of the mouth, so that even a person with dentures can easily use it and it is difficult to train on a daily basis. While forcibly and comfortably training the muscles of the face, it is possible to expect health effects and a smaller face, and it is possible to perform training that is less likely to cause boredom while arousing curiosity and enjoyment. That is, the facial muscle exercising means 32 of the illustrated example extends the operating member 32a having an elastic force in the shape of a strip or a round bar from the gripping portion 10 side toward the side by a predetermined length, and the free end portion thereof. The weight (balance weight) 32b is provided on the sill, and the amplitude energy and the centrifugal energy in the up-down and front-back directions can be further increased based on the face movement that moves the face up, down, left and right. Further, when the height of the operating member 32a is provided with the operating angle α with respect to the mouth angle contact baseline F, the facial muscle exercising means 32 applies a forward exercising moment with the weight 32b side positioned in front of the pinching portion. Highly efficient training can be enabled.

また作動部材32aの身長左右端を前傾角を有して顔の前方に向けて離間させるので、肩等の接触を防止しながら顔や体を上下左右に大きく動かして行う顔筋トレーニングをより自由に行うことができる。従って、顔筋運動手段32を備えた噛挟み具1は、最奥歯側と口角部による深い噛挟みと口角接触刺激を付与しながら舌の運動も自由にするため、首振りリズム運動を自由にした顔筋トレーニングに合わせ、滑舌トレーニングも効率よく行うことができる等新規な利点を創出することができる。 そして、作動部材32aは、回転運動機構、振動機構、往復運動機構等所望の動力機構(駆動部)32cを設けて作動させると、この場合には運動動作に基づくウェイト32bを有する作動部材32aの共振運動を大きくし、このエネルギを噛挟み姿勢の噛挟み具1を介し運動負荷を口及び顔の筋肉に効率よく伝えるので、新規且つ多様なトレーニングを創出することができる。また作動部材32aは、主たる振動方向を変更するように噛み本体2側に対し回動可能に設けてもよい。尚、同様に使用可能な顔筋運動手段32の別実施形態については図8に示している。 In addition, since the left and right ends of the height of the operating member 32a are separated from each other toward the front of the face with a forward tilt angle, the face and body can be moved significantly up, down, left and right while preventing contact with the shoulders, etc. Can be done. Therefore, the biting tool 1 provided with the facial muscle movement means 32 can freely move the tongue while giving deep biting by the innermost tooth side and the corner of the mouth and the contact stimulus of the corner of the mouth. It is possible to create new advantages such as efficient tongue training in accordance with the facial muscle training. Then, when the operating member 32a is operated by providing a desired power mechanism (driving unit) 32c such as a rotary motion mechanism, a vibration mechanism, and a reciprocating motion mechanism, in this case, the operating member 32a having a weight 32b based on the motion motion Since the reciprocating motion is increased and this energy is efficiently transmitted to the muscles of the mouth and face via the pinching tool 1 in the pinching posture, new and diverse training can be created. Further, the operating member 32a may be provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the biting main body 2 side so as to change the main vibration direction. Another embodiment of the facial muscle exercise means 32 that can be used in the same manner is shown in FIG.

While preventing contact melting of the material with the surroundings, it is possible to reliably facilitate proper contact and trace intake by the tip of the tongue, and in this case as well, there are advantages such as enhancing the synergistic effect of use with the chewing tool 1.

〔図10のリモコン型噛挟み具1と、ウエーブ型噛挟み具と操作手段の融合開発〕
次に、前記図6のウエーブ型噛挟み具1と図9の舌動操作部28とを融合させた舌内接型デザインについて図10を参照し説明する。尚、前記各実施形態のもと同様な構成については同一符号を付して説明を省略する。
この噛挟み具1はリモコン装置用の操作手段26として、前記図9(d)のものと略同じ構成及び製作手段によって舌ガイド体28aを、左右の噛み部2aの間に一体的に構成している。図示例の舌ガイド体28aは、上ガイド部28bと下ガイド部28cとを一体的に接続形成した筒状体にしており、上ガイド部28bの前後面幅を下ガイド部28cより大きくし、図9(d)に示すものと同様に、上ガイド部28bは前方側に向けて下向きに湾曲させ前縁部28dを上前歯列の後に近接位置させている。
また下ガイド部28cの前縁部28dは下前歯列の背後に位置させ、その外周面を口腔底と隙間を有して浮き上がり状に支持し、当該隙間に差し入れた舌によって下ガイド部28cを上方に強く持ち上げ操作し易くしている。
[Development of fusion of remote control type biting tool 1 in FIG. 10 and wave type biting tool and operating means]
Next, a tongue inscribed design in which the wave-type biting tool 1 of FIG. 6 and the tongue movement operating portion 28 of FIG. 9 are fused will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations under the above-described embodiments, and the description thereof will be omitted.
The biting tool 1 serves as an operating means 26 for the remote controller, and the tongue guide body 28a is integrally formed between the left and right biting portions 2a by substantially the same configuration and manufacturing means as those in FIG. ing. The tongue guide body 28a of the illustrated example is a tubular body formed by integrally connecting the upper guide portion 28b and the lower guide portion 28c, and the front-rear surface width of the upper guide portion 28b is made larger than that of the lower guide portion 28c. Similar to that shown in FIG. 9D, the upper guide portion 28b is curved downward toward the front side so that the front edge portion 28d is positioned close to the upper front dentition.
Further, the front edge portion 28d of the lower guide portion 28c is positioned behind the lower anterior dentition, the outer peripheral surface thereof is supported in a lift shape with a gap from the oral floor, and the lower guide portion 28c is supported by the tongue inserted into the gap. It is strongly lifted upward to make it easier to operate.

〔図10の舌ガイド体28aの各部構造の機能作用と舌運動のパターン〕
これにより噛挟み具1は、使用者が舌ガイド体28aの舌動部5に差し入れた舌を内周壁に沿わせて舌先を速やかに口前に突出させると共に、舌戻し運動も大きな前後方向ストロークを有して自由に行うことができる。また舌ガイド体28aは少なくとも上ガイド部28b側の内周壁に、所望の形状とパターンの操作面(凹凸面)28fを図10(d),(f),(g)で示すように形成することが望ましい。
これにより使用者は、舌ガイド体28aに内接運動する舌によって凹凸面28fの形状やパターンを特定的に認識しながら舌の触覚によって所望運動を選択し易くすることができるので、分かり易い凹凸触覚を利用し興味を喚起しながら誤操作のない舌操作と舌トレーニングを効果的に行うことができる。
また舌ガイド体28aの後縁部28eは、図10(d)の実線状態から後方に向け弾力的に移動可能な構造にしてもよく、この場合には舌による強い後方巻き戻し運動によって所定の抗力を有し2点鎖線で示すように移動させることができるので、トレーニング範囲を拡大させ舌力強化と操作技能の向上を図り易くすることができる。
[Functional action of each part structure of the tongue guide body 28a and the pattern of tongue movement in FIG. 10]
As a result, the biting tool 1 causes the tongue inserted into the tongue movement portion 5 of the tongue guide body 28a to be pushed along the inner peripheral wall to promptly project the tip of the tongue to the front of the mouth, and the tongue return movement is also a large anteroposterior stroke. Can be done freely. Further, the tongue guide body 28a is formed on the inner peripheral wall on the upper guide portion 28b side at least on the operation surface (concave and convex surface) 28f having a desired shape and pattern as shown in FIGS. 10 (d), (f), and (g). Is desirable.
As a result, the user can easily select the desired movement by the tactile sensation of the tongue while specifically recognizing the shape and pattern of the uneven surface 28f by the tongue inscribed in the tongue guide body 28a. It is possible to effectively perform tongue operation and tongue training without erroneous operation while arousing interest by using the sense of touch.
Further, the trailing edge portion 28e of the tongue guide body 28a may have a structure that can be elastically moved backward from the solid line state of FIG. 10D, and in this case, a predetermined position is determined by a strong backward rewinding motion by the tongue. Since it has drag and can be moved as shown by the alternate long and short dash line, it is possible to expand the training range, strengthen the tongue strength, and improve the operation skill.

上記のように構成される舌動操作部28は、噛挟み姿勢で舌ガイド体28aが口腔内に舌動部5及び周壁面積をできるだけ大きくしながら効率よく設置することができると共に、この状態で舌の上下左右前後斜め等の全方向運動を矢印で示すように自由に行うことを可能にする。また舌動操作部28は舌を各矢印で示す操作方向に強く動かす際に、同方向の操作つれ動きによる位置ズレ(操作ズレ)を生じようとするが、操作つれ動きは、噛み部2a又は口角接触部2kの噛挟み及び上歯内係合部2w又は下歯内係合部5wの歯列Bとの接当、或いは舌ガイド体28aの周面が口蓋或いは口腔底との接触等により規制されるため、操作ズレのない安定的な舌運動を行い易くすると共に、差し入れた舌を舌動部5内で楽に休息させる中立状態姿勢(舌休止姿勢)にすることができる等の特徴がある。尚、舌ガイド体28aの外周の左右面は、前記上歯内係合部2wと下歯内係合部5wの作用を奏するように製作することが望ましい。 In the tongue movement operation unit 28 configured as described above, the tongue guide body 28a can be efficiently installed in the oral cavity in the biting posture while increasing the tongue movement part 5 and the peripheral wall area as much as possible, and in this state. It enables the tongue to freely perform omnidirectional movements such as up, down, left, right, front, back, diagonal, etc. as indicated by the arrows. Further, when the tongue movement operation unit 28 strongly moves the tongue in the operation direction indicated by each arrow, it tends to cause a position shift (operation shift) due to the operation shift movement in the same direction, but the operation shift movement is the biting portion 2a or By pinching the mouth angle contact portion 2k and contacting the upper intradental engaging portion 2w or the lower intradental engaging portion 5w with the dentition B, or by contacting the peripheral surface of the tongue guide body 28a with the palate or the floor of the oral cavity. Since it is regulated, it is easy to perform stable tongue movement without operation deviation, and it is possible to put the inserted tongue in a neutral state posture (tongue resting posture) to rest comfortably in the tongue movement part 5. is there. It is desirable that the left and right surfaces of the outer periphery of the tongue guide body 28a are manufactured so as to exert the action of the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w and the lower tooth intradental engaging portion 5w.

また筒状の舌ガイド体28aは、必要によりその前縁部28dに弾力的に伸縮する膜状の前当て部材28mを簡単に設けることができ、この場合には舌動部5内で伸ばす舌先によって前当て部材28mを弾力に抗して押動する舌先トレーニングを楽しく効果的に行うことができる。また前当て部材28mに舌押動センサ28pを設ける場合、及び前当て部材28mそのものをセンサ構造部材にする場合には、従来困難とされていた舌先伸ばしによる強い操作を可能にするため、リモコン用の舌動操作部28として多用途に利用することができる。 Further, the tubular tongue guide body 28a can be easily provided with a film-shaped front contact member 28m that elastically expands and contracts on the front edge portion 28d thereof, and in this case, the tip of the tongue extending in the tongue moving portion 5. This makes it possible to enjoy and effectively perform tongue tip training that pushes the front contact member 28 m against elasticity. Further, when the tongue pushing force sensor 28p is provided on the front contact member 28 m, or when the front contact member 28 m itself is used as a sensor structural member, it is used for a remote controller in order to enable a strong operation by extending the tip of the tongue, which has been difficult in the past. It can be used for various purposes as the tongue movement operation unit 28.

〔図10の舌ガイド体28aをリモコン操作部にする構成と作用・触覚テクノロジ〕
次に、上記のように使用できる舌ガイド体28aに各種の舌センサ28s類を設けて、リモコン用の舌動操作部28として使用する際の実施形態について説明する。
尚、この場合のセンサ手段と舌操作面の形状は、従来のものと同様にすることができると共に次のようにすることもできる。
即ち、舌動操作部28は前記したような舌圧型スイッチを舌ガイド体28a内の上下左右所用箇所に所定数配設できるが、これに限定することなく舌の位置を検知する近接型スイッチや、舌との接触形状変化を検知する繊維織物型センサや軟質プラスッチック材で舌の動きを検知する接触センサ、また触覚テクノロジで利用される光反射センサ等の任意なセンサ手段にすることができる。
そして、各センサの配置手段は筒状の舌内接型デザインの前縁部28dと後縁部28eの特性を活かし、例えば図10(f)に示すような所望パターンによって、操作位置毎に異なる形状認識ができ触覚操作し易い形状並びに触覚性に勝れた材質等のアクション性に優れた操作面28fにすることが望ましい。そして、例えば外部信号によって操作面28fを信号動作させるアクション刺激等によって舌の味覚改善等の誘導を可能にすることができる他、舌によって音声や画像信号等を自由に体感する触覚テクノロジ分野を実現し易くできる。
[Structure and action / tactile technology using the tongue guide body 28a in FIG. 10 as a remote control operation unit]
Next, an embodiment when various tongue sensors 28s are provided on the tongue guide body 28a that can be used as described above and used as the tongue movement operation unit 28 for a remote controller will be described.
The shape of the sensor means and the tongue operating surface in this case can be the same as that of the conventional one, and can also be as follows.
That is, the tongue movement operation unit 28 can dispose a predetermined number of tongue pressure type switches as described above at the upper, lower, left and right places in the tongue guide body 28a, but the tongue movement operation unit 28 is not limited to this, and is a proximity type switch that detects the position of the tongue. It can be any sensor means such as a fiber woven type sensor that detects a change in contact shape with the tongue, a contact sensor that detects the movement of the tongue with a soft plastic material, and a light reflection sensor used in tactile technology.
Then, the means for arranging each sensor makes use of the characteristics of the front edge portion 28d and the trailing edge portion 28e of the tubular tongue inscribed design, and differs for each operation position depending on the desired pattern as shown in FIG. 10 (f), for example. It is desirable to use an operating surface 28f that has excellent action such as a shape that can recognize the shape and is easy to operate by touch and a material that is superior in touch. Then, for example, it is possible to induce the taste of the tongue to be improved by an action stimulus that causes the operation surface 28f to operate as a signal by an external signal, and a tactile technology field in which the tongue can freely experience voice, image signals, etc. is realized. It can be done easily.

また舌動操作部28を口内に保持する噛挟み支持手段は、噛み部2aを上下の歯列Bで噛挟み挟持する手段に限定することなく、図10(c)の平面視2点鎖線及び図10(h)で示すように、舌ガイド体28aの左右から後方に向けてU字状に突出する線状の噛み部2aが、最奥歯を迂回するように屈曲させた状態でその前部側が口角接触部2kになる奥歯迂回型噛挟み形態となるように構成してもよい。この場合の噛挟み具1は、噛み部2aを直接歯噛み挟持することなく間接的な噛挟みをする奥歯迂回型噛挟み手段によって、噛挟み負荷を大きくかけることなく舌ガイド体28aの前側移動を確実且つ楽に規制するため、長時間に及ぶ口腔内支持を要するゲーム分野や医療分野用の噛挟み具1として好適化できる利点がある。
また口内型噛挟み具の態様にする場合には、図10(a)に2点鎖線で示すような取付杆7b等を有するスタンド型の枕部3を設けることが好ましい。この場合には、口から外した舌動操作部28を枕部3の接地を介して床面Aとの接触を防止することができ、また枕部3を利用してコントローラ26b等の設置を容易にできる。
Further, the biting support means for holding the tongue movement operating portion 28 in the mouth is not limited to the means for pinching and holding the biting portion 2a between the upper and lower dentitions B, and the two-dot chain line in the plan view of FIG. As shown in FIG. 10 (h), the linear biting portion 2a protruding from the left and right to the rear of the tongue guide body 28a in a U-shape is bent so as to bypass the innermost teeth, and the front portion thereof. It may be configured to have a back tooth bypass type biting form in which the side is a mouth corner contact portion 2k. In this case, the biting tool 1 moves the tongue guide body 28a to the front side without applying a large biting load by the back tooth bypass type biting means that indirectly bites the biting portion 2a without directly pinching the biting portion 2a. Since it is regulated reliably and easily, there is an advantage that it can be adapted as a chewing tool 1 for a game field or a medical field that requires long-term oral support.
Further, in the case of the mouth-type biting tool, it is preferable to provide a stand-type pillow portion 3 having a mounting rod 7b or the like as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 10 (a). In this case, the tongue movement operation unit 28 removed from the mouth can be prevented from coming into contact with the floor surface A via the grounding of the pillow unit 3, and the controller 26b or the like can be installed using the pillow unit 3. Easy to do.

〔図11〜13の舌内接型噛挟み具と各舌動操作部28・触覚発信手段〕
次に、図11,図12,図13を参照し舌内接型の舌動操作部28を備える噛挟み具1について説明する。尚、図10及び前記したものと同様な構成については、重複を避け同一符号を付し説明を省略する。先ず、図11に示す噛挟み具1は、筒状又はリング状又は半筒状の舌動操作部28の両側に噛み部2aを介し歯列Bの外側から口角部の内側に接当する縦板状の口角内接触噛挟み片5hを設けた構成にしている。
上記口角内接触噛挟み片5hはその外側面に、必要により口角接触部2kを設けることができ、この場合の口角接触部2kは口角部から大きく突出しない大きさで口内側から口角部を外側又は上方に押接するように設けることが望ましい。
これにより噛挟み具1は、外側非噛み部2sを口外に大きく突出させない口内型(外出型)となし、外観し難くし使用や用途拡大とマスク装着を行い易くする。
また口角内接触噛挟み片5hを広幅に形成すると、口角部の口唇の隙間を塞いで息漏れを抑制すると共に、口腔前庭に繋がる頬の内面と歯茎基部側に接触刺激を付与し口筋鍛錬や血液循環に好適化することができる。
また口角内接触噛挟み片5hは歯列Bの外側に沿うように長く形成すると、上歯内係合部2w又は下歯内係合部5wと同様な噛挟み具1の前方移動規制を口唇によって自ずと規制できるため、長時間にわたって使用し易いリモコン用途に好適な噛挟み具1にすることができる。尚、この噛挟み具1は、舌動操作部28を2点鎖線で示す分割線3x位置から上下に切離すると、図13で示すものと同様な箆状の使用態様を選択できる。また左右の噛み部2aは延長又は伸縮可能にすると、口角内接触噛挟み片5hを口角部の外側に接当させることができ、この場合には口角外接型の噛挟み具1にすることがき、その上下片は枕部3として利用することができる。
[Tongue inscribed type biting tool of FIGS. 11 to 13 and each tongue movement operating unit 28 / tactile transmitting means]
Next, the biting tool 1 provided with the tongue inscribed type tongue movement operating portion 28 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11, 12, and 13. The same reference numerals are given to FIGS. 10 and the same configurations as those described above to avoid duplication, and the description thereof will be omitted. First,噛挟viewed ingredients 1 shown in FIG. 11 Setto from the outer teeth B inside the corner of the mouth portion through the biting portion 2a on both sides of the tubular or-ring-shaped or semi-cylindrical Shitado operation unit 28 It is configured to be provided with a vertical plate-shaped contact biting piece 5h in the corner of the mouth.
The mouth corner contact portion 2k can be provided on the outer surface of the mouth corner contact biting piece 5h, if necessary. In this case, the mouth corner contact portion 2k has a size that does not protrude significantly from the mouth corner portion and the mouth corner portion is outside from the inside of the mouth. Alternatively, it is desirable to provide it so that it is pressed upward.
As a result, the biting tool 1 is a mouth type (outing type) in which the outer non-biting portion 2s does not protrude significantly to the outside of the mouth, making it difficult to appear and facilitating use, expansion of applications, and mask wearing.
In addition, when the intraoral contact bite piece 5h is formed wide, the gap between the lips at the corner of the mouth is closed to suppress breath leakage, and contact stimulation is given to the inner surface of the cheek and the base side of the gums connected to the oral vestibule to train the oral muscles. And can be adapted to blood circulation.
Further, when the intraoral contact biting piece 5h is formed long along the outside of the dentition B, the lip is restricted from moving forward of the biting tool 1 similar to the upper intradental engaging portion 2w or the lower intradental engaging portion 5w. Since it can be regulated by itself, it is possible to make the biting tool 1 suitable for remote control applications that is easy to use for a long time. When the tongue movement operation unit 28 is vertically separated from the dividing line 3x position indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, the biting tool 1 can select a spatula-shaped usage mode similar to that shown in FIG. Further, if the left and right biting portions 2a can be extended or expanded and contracted, the inside corner contact biting piece 5h can be brought into contact with the outside of the corner of the mouth. In this case, the biting tool 1 of the mouth corner circumscribed type can be used. , The upper and lower pieces can be used as the pillow portion 3.

図12の噛挟み具1は、ブロック状の噛み片の前部に息漏れ規制部2iを有する口角接触部2kを一体的に形成した左右対称形状で対をなす噛み部2aを、前記したような口内側型の内側非噛み部2bによって接続することなく、口角接触部2kの先端側に短く突設した外側非噛み部2sを介し、取付杆7bを口外側型の内側非噛み部2bとして接続した構成にしている。即ち、図示例の噛挟み具1は、左右の口角接触部2kの外側非噛み部2sを、正面視で上向きコ字形状の取付杆7bの両端に接続することにより、左右の噛み部2aを噛挟みしたとき内側非噛み部2bを顎の下に位置させ、舌を自由に動かせる大きな空間部5aを形成し新規的な噛挟みトレーニングと使用態様を創出する。また非使用時に噛挟み具1は、内側非噛み部2b(舌動部5)が脚部2hと枕部3になり噛み部2a側を床面Aから離間させて支持する。
また上記構成による噛挟み具1は、左右の噛み部2aの間に舌動操作部28を着脱又は一体的に設置することができる。図示例の舌動操作部28は舌ガイド体28aの両側に形成した凹溝状の取付部7cに、噛み部2a側に突設した取付突起7gを係脱自在に係合させる取付手段7によって着脱自在に取付けるようにしている。
そして、この噛挟み具1も左右の噛み部2aの前部内側に、上側歯列Bの所定奥歯の内面側に点的接当を可能とする上歯内係合部2wを局所的に突設すると共に、側面視で上歯内係合部2wから後方の噛み部2aの噛み面を開放し、舌による噛み面上の接当を可能とし口奥での舌回し運動を自在にしている。つまり、口奥で舌回し運動をする際に上歯内係合部2wに邪魔されることなく、舌で噛み部2aの上噛み面をなぞり接触を可能にすると共に、最奥歯へのなぞり接触を自由にする等の口奥舌回し運動を促進する。尚、上記口奥舌回し運動は、舌ガイド体28aの左右外側面を上歯内係合部2wとして利用する例えば図9,図10,図12,図13等と同様にできる。
As described above, the biting tool 1 of FIG. 12 has a symmetrically formed pair of biting portions 2a in which a mouth angle contacting portion 2k having a breath leakage regulating portion 2i is integrally formed at the front portion of the block-shaped biting piece. The mounting rod 7b is used as the inner non-biting portion 2b of the outer mouth type via the outer non-biting portion 2s projecting shortly on the tip side of the corner contact portion 2k without being connected by the inner non-biting portion 2b of the inner mouth type. It has a connected configuration. That is, in the biting tool 1 of the illustrated example, the left and right biting portions 2a are connected by connecting the outer non-biting portions 2s of the left and right mouth corner contact portions 2k to both ends of the upward U-shaped mounting rod 7b in the front view. The medial non-biting portion 2b is positioned under the jaw when pinched to form a large space portion 5a in which the tongue can move freely, and a new pinching training and usage mode are created. When not in use, the biting tool 1 is supported by the inner non-biting portion 2b (tongue moving portion 5) serving as the leg portion 2h and the pillow portion 3 and separating the biting portion 2a side from the floor surface A.
Further, in the biting tool 1 having the above configuration, the tongue movement operating portion 28 can be detached or integrally installed between the left and right biting portions 2a. The tongue movement operating portion 28 of the illustrated example is provided by a mounting means 7 that engages the recessed groove-shaped mounting portions 7c formed on both sides of the tongue guide body 28a with the mounting protrusions 7g projecting from the biting portion 2a side in a detachable manner. It is designed to be attached and detached.
Then, the biting tool 1 also locally projects the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w that enables point contact with the inner surface side of the predetermined back tooth of the upper dentition B inside the front portion of the left and right biting portions 2a. In addition to the installation, the biting surface of the rear biting portion 2a is opened from the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w in a lateral view, enabling contact on the biting surface by the tongue and allowing the tongue to rotate freely in the back of the mouth. .. That is, when the tongue is rotated in the back of the mouth, the tongue can trace the upper biting surface of the biting portion 2a without being disturbed by the engaging portion 2w in the upper tooth, and the tracing contact with the innermost tooth. Promote back vowel movements such as freeing. The mouth-back tongue rotation movement can be performed in the same manner as in FIGS. 9, 10, 12, 12, 13 and the like in which the left and right outer surfaces of the tongue guide body 28a are used as the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w.

次に、図13に示す噛挟み具1とその舌動操作部28について説明する。この噛挟み具1は、舌動操作部28を口蓋の形状に沿って嵌合状態にすることができるドーム状(箆状)の上ガイド部28bとなしており、その両側に前記図10(h)で示すものと同様な奥歯迂回型噛挟み形態をとることが可能な噛み部2aを接続し、該噛み部2aの前部に口角接触部2kと口角上延長部2Lと枕部3等からなる外側非噛み部2sを設けた構成にしている。つまり、舌動部5になる舌動操作部28は、舌ガイド体28aを筒やリング状に限定することなく口蓋に沿う広幅な箆形状にすることにより、下部側を開放した舌先操作(運動)を自由にしつつ通常の舌休止も楽に行うことができるため、長時間にわたる使用を行い易くする長時間使用型の操作手段26として好適化することができる。尚、この噛挟み具1は、必要により別途形成される下ガイド部28cを口腔底側に貼付け状態にして使用してもよく、これにより前記したものと同様に多様な操作を可能にすることもできる。またこの場合下ガイド部28cはのど飴・作用供給材等の設置手段にすることができる。尚、図13(b)に2点鎖線で示すようにボール形状など舌外接型の舌動操作部28を設ける場合には、上ガイド部28bの前部側から支持ガイドを介して適所に臨ませることができる。 Next, the biting tool 1 shown in FIG. 13 and the tongue movement operating portion 28 thereof will be described. The biting tool 1 has a dome-shaped (spatula-shaped) upper guide portion 28b that can fit the tongue movement operating portion 28 along the shape of the palate, and the above-mentioned FIG. A biting portion 2a capable of taking a back tooth bypass type biting form similar to that shown in h) is connected, and a mouth corner contact portion 2k, a mouth corner extension portion 2L, a pillow portion 3, etc. are connected to the front portion of the biting portion 2a. The outer non-biting portion 2s is provided. That is, the tongue movement operation unit 28, which is the tongue movement portion 5, has a tongue tip operation (movement) in which the lower side is opened by forming the tongue guide body 28a into a wide spatula shape along the palate without limiting it to a cylinder or a ring shape. ) Can be freely performed while normal tongue resting can be easily performed, so that it can be optimized as a long-term use type operating means 26 that facilitates long-term use. The biting tool 1 may be used with the lower guide portion 28c, which is separately formed, attached to the floor of the oral cavity, if necessary, thereby enabling various operations similar to those described above. You can also. Further, in this case, the lower guide portion 28c can be used as an installation means for a throat lozenge, an action supply material, or the like. When the tongue circumscribed tongue movement operation unit 28 such as a ball shape is provided as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 13B, the tongue movement operation unit 28 faces the appropriate place from the front side of the upper guide portion 28b via the support guide. You can do it.

そして、本体脚部2hは中途部を口角上延長部2Lを前方に向けて湾曲させ、下部側を後方に向けて延長させたのち折り返して枕部3を形成している。これにより噛挟み具1は図14(b)で示すように、複数の仮置き姿勢を前記図6(c)で示すものと同様な接地態様によって床面Aと床面A1とに選択的に仮置きできる。
また線状部材による噛挟み具1は図14(b)に示すように、噛み部2a側から上方に向け山折り状に屈曲することにより上歯内係合部2wを舌動部5の基部側に簡単に突出形成することができる。そして、上歯内係合部2wは山折り角を急角度にすると、舌動部5の前端側を後方に位置させて舌下奥側に臨ませることができる。また必要により上歯内係合部2w側は、図14(b)に矢印と2点鎖線で示すように、口角内接触噛挟み片5hに連なる噛み部2a側より上方に高く変位させ舌動部5の前端側を口腔底から離間調節することができるので、大人用の噛挟み具1を例えば口の小さい子供用のものとして簡単に使用対応することができる。また左右の下歯内係合部5wの左右幅は、前端側の曲率を変更することにより簡単に調節することができる。
また線状部材の噛み部2aは、その中途部又は後部を上下方向に容易に屈曲することができ噛挟み時の噛み厚を大きくすることができるので、厚い噛挟みによって大きな噛挟み負荷を選択しトレーニングを容易にすると共に、厚噛みよる唾液分泌を活性することができる。また噛み部2aの後端部を延長して上下方向に屈曲する場合は、該屈曲部を最奥歯の後方に位置させて噛み本体2の前側移動を規制することができる。
上記構成による噛挟み具1は、舌動部5の下部側を口腔底に沿って舌の裏基部側に近接させるので、図6で前記したものと同様に舌運動を促進すると共に、その運動やトレーニングによる唾液分泌並びに舌下療法や無呼吸症状や低位舌等の対応効果を高める等多用途に適応使用することができる。
[Figs. 14 and 15: Wave-type biting tool / face yoga tool made by bending linear members]
Next, each embodiment of the third group will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 16. First, the biting tool 1 shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 is manufactured so as to perform the same function as that of FIGS. 4 and 6 by bending a linear member having flexibility and a certain rigidity. The embodiment is such that fine adjustment of the shape, length, spacing, etc. of each part can be facilitated.
On the other hand, the biting tool 1 shown in FIG. 16 is formed by using a synthetic resin material such as silicon to connect a pair of biting portions 2a in a symmetrical shape and the front portions thereof to the oral floor separated rearward from the anterior teeth of the dentition B. An embodiment is shown in which the tongue movement portion 5 to be faced is integrally formed and manufactured. The same components and operations as those of the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.
The biting tool 1 of FIG. 14 has a biting body 2 having a tongue moving portion 5, a rear bending portion 5c, a biting portion 2a, a mouth corner contact portion 2k, and an outer non-biting portion 2s in substantially the same shape as the embodiment shown in FIG. The outer non-biting portion 2s in which the upper extension portion 2L of the mouth angle is inclined upward from the biting portions 2a on both sides of the inner non-biting portion 2b (tongue moving portion 5) via the mouth corner contact portion 2k is folded in a mountain fold. A top 2m to be a acupressure device 14 is formed by the bending valley portion 2u, and the bending main body leg portion 2h and the grip portion 10 are formed with the outer non-biting portion 2s facing downward from the top 2m.
Then, the leg portion 2h of the main body is formed by bending the midway portion of the extension portion 2L above the corner of the mouth toward the front, extending the lower portion toward the rear, and then folding back to form the pillow portion 3. As a result, as shown in FIG. 14 (b), the biting tool 1 selectively holds a plurality of temporary placement postures on the floor surface A and the floor surface A1 by the same grounding mode as that shown in FIG. 6 (c). Can be temporarily placed.
Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, the biting tool 1 made of the linear member bends the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w upward from the biting portion 2a side in a mountain fold shape so that the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w is formed into the base portion of the tongue moving portion 5. It can be easily projected to the side. Then, when the ridge folding angle of the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w is made steep, the front end side of the tongue moving portion 5 can be positioned rearward and face the back side under the tongue. If necessary, the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w side is displaced higher than the biting portion 2a side connected to the intraoral contact biting piece 5h as shown by an arrow and a two-point chain line in FIG. 14B, and the tongue moves. Since the front end side of the portion 5 can be adjusted to be separated from the floor of the oral cavity, the chewing tool 1 for adults can be easily used, for example, for children with a small mouth. Further, the left-right width of the left and right lower tooth intradental engaging portions 5w can be easily adjusted by changing the curvature on the front end side.
Further, since the biting portion 2a of the linear member can be easily bent in the middle or the rear portion in the vertical direction and the biting thickness at the time of biting can be increased, a large biting load is selected by the thick biting. It facilitates training and can activate saliva secretion by thick chewing. Further, when the rear end portion of the biting portion 2a is extended and bent in the vertical direction, the bending portion can be positioned behind the innermost teeth to restrict the front movement of the biting body 2.
Since the chewing tool 1 having the above configuration brings the lower side of the tongue movement portion 5 closer to the back base side of the tongue along the oral floor, the tongue movement is promoted and the movement thereof is similar to that described in FIG. It can be used for various purposes such as saliva secretion by training, sublingual therapy, apnea symptoms, and enhancing the response effect of low tongue.

〔図14舌動部の先端を上げた口蓋近接型・先端で舌上げする低位舌・無呼吸改善〕
次に、図14(c)を参照し舌動部5の先端を上方にして口蓋に沿って近接させた口蓋近接型の噛挟み具1について説明する。実施形態の噛挟み具1は、舌動部5の先端側を上歯内係合部2w側より上方に向けて屈曲延長させる口蓋近接型にすることにより、口を開けても噛挟み具1の安易な口外れを伴うことなく、低位舌改善に有効な噛挟みトレーニングを、低位舌チュウイングガムトレーニング等の煩雑で熟練を必要とすることなく、誰での何時でも手軽に行うようにしている。
この場合の噛挟み具1は、正常舌の舌先が通常的に位置する口蓋略中央部にある舌先スッポットに、上向きに湾曲する舌動部5の先端側を臨ませる口蓋近接型にする。
これにより口蓋近接型の噛挟み具1を銜える使用者は、舌先(口蓋)スッポットから口蓋に沿って下向きに湾曲する舌動部5内を通す舌を、口腔底から前側に移動させて行う舌出し運動(ベロ出し動作)を先端部に支障されることなくスムーズにすることができる。そして、上方にある舌動部5の湾曲内周に沿って舌先を接触移動するなぞり撫で動作(口蓋なぞり運動)を自由にして口蓋形状に沿う口蓋なぞり運動を促進することができ、伸ばした舌先によって舌動部5の先端部を後方又は上方に向けて引き戻し移動させる舌引戻し運動を確実容易にすることができる。
即ち、使用者が意識的に幾度となく行い易い上記舌引戻し運動は、舌力による舌動部5の後方移動を介し口角接触部2kが口角部を笑顔状態に押接しながら、使用者が舌力の解除をすると、口角押接反力によって舌動部5を元の舌先スポットに復帰させるため、噛挟み具1の自然的な前後往復運動を繰り返し易くする。
従って、舌でガムを器用に押し潰すような煩雑な技法を不要にした舌筋の強化を、口角刺激による快楽反応も体感しつつ低位舌改善トレーニングを継続し易くする。
また口蓋近接型の舌動部5は口内型の噛挟み具1にも適応できると共に、舌引戻し運動を休止している運動待機中には、舌先が常時的に舌動部5の先端内に接触可能状態にするため、使用者は意識的にも無意識状態でも舌先を舌先スッポットに位置させ易くするため、これを習慣化し低位舌改善に寄与する等の特徴がある。
尚、舌動部5を形成した上歯内係合部2wから下方前位に下歯内係合部5wを形成したのち、同図に2点鎖線で示すように舌動部5の先端を口腔底側から上方に向け舌を上げ支持する位置に内向き上方に屈曲形成する場合は、図17で後述するように噛挟み時に舌を口蓋側に舌上げ支持するため、低位舌や無呼吸症候群対応に効果的な舌上げ型の噛挟み具1にすることができる。
[Fig. 14 Palate proximity type with the tip of the tongue moving part raised, low tongue raised with the tip, apnea improvement]
Next, with reference to FIG. 14 (c), a palate proximity type biting tool 1 in which the tip of the tongue moving portion 5 is placed upward and brought close to the palate along the palate will be described. The biting tool 1 of the embodiment is of a palate proximity type in which the tip end side of the tongue moving part 5 is bent and extended upward from the upper tooth intradental engaging part 2w side, so that the biting tool 1 even if the mouth is opened. It is possible for anyone to easily perform biting training that is effective for improving the low tongue without the need for complicated and skillful training such as low tongue chewing gum training. There is.
In this case, the biting tool 1 is of a palate proximity type in which the tip end side of the tongue moving portion 5 curved upward faces the tongue tip spot located in the substantially central portion of the palate where the tongue tip of the normal tongue is normally located.
As a result, the user who grabs the palate-proximity type biting tool 1 moves the tongue that passes through the tongue moving portion 5 that curves downward along the palate from the tongue tip (palate) spot to the anterior side from the floor of the oral cavity. The tongue sticking out movement (tongue sticking out movement) can be smoothed without being hindered by the tip. Then, the movement of the tongue by contacting and moving along the curved inner circumference of the tongue moving portion 5 above (palate tracing movement) can be freely performed to promote the palate tracing movement along the palate shape, and the extended tongue tip can be extended. This makes it possible to reliably facilitate the tongue pullback movement of pulling back and moving the tip of the tongue moving portion 5 toward the rear or upward.
That is, in the tongue pull-back movement that is easy for the user to consciously perform many times, the user touches the corner of the mouth with a smile while the corner of the mouth 2k presses the corner of the mouth with a smile through the backward movement of the tongue movement part 5 by the tongue force. When the force is released, the tongue moving portion 5 is returned to the original tongue tip spot by the reaction force of the corner of the mouth, so that the natural reciprocating motion of the biting tool 1 can be easily repeated.
Therefore, strengthening the tongue muscles, which eliminates the need for complicated techniques such as crushing gum with the tongue dexterously, makes it easier to continue low-level tongue improvement training while experiencing the pleasure reaction of mouth corner stimulation.
Further, the palate-proximity type tongue movement part 5 can be adapted to the oral type biting tool 1, and the tip of the tongue is always in the tip of the tongue movement part 5 during the exercise standby in which the tongue pull-back movement is suspended. In order to make it possible to contact, the user can easily position the tip of the tongue in the tip of the tongue, both consciously and unconsciously, so that this becomes a habit and contributes to improvement of the lower tongue.
After forming the lower intradental engaging portion 5w in the lower anterior position from the upper intradental engaging portion 2w forming the tongue moving portion 5, the tip of the tongue moving portion 5 is formed as shown by a two-point chain line in the figure. When the tongue is flexed inwardly and upward to a position where the tongue is raised and supported upward from the floor of the oral cavity, the tongue is raised and supported toward the palate during pinching as described later in FIG. It can be a tongue-raising type biting tool 1 that is effective for dealing with syndromes.

〔図14のバネ力型噛挟み具と顔ヨガとの融合トレーニング・バルーン動力利用型〕
次に、前記アンチエイジングに好適とされる顔ヨガ(顔の筋トレ)に使用する際の噛挟み具1とその方法について図14(a)を参照し説明する。図示例の噛挟み具1は噛み本体2の全体及び口角接触部2kを弾力的に上下方向移動を復元可能にする弾性力(バネ)を備える材質と形状によって構成しているため、使用者が噛挟み具1を銜えた状態で、顔ヨガ特有の例えば「口すぼめと口角上げ動作トレーニング」を繰り返すとき、単に銜えたままの通常噛挟み姿勢から左右の口角接触部2k側を内向き矢印方向に弾力的に狭め変形させることができ、またこののち唇のすぼめ解除によって口角部を元の口角上げ姿勢に復帰動作すると、この復帰動作スピードに追随するバネ力によって口角接触部2kが元位置に復帰する。
これにより噛挟み具1を銜える使用者は、各部のバネ力に抗する方向の口や頬等の顔筋運動と、各部がバネ力による変形抗力と復帰動作を妨げる制動戻し抵抗等の運動負荷を体感しながら、噛挟み具使用型の顔ヨガ運動を新規的に行うことができる。
またこの際に噛挟み具1は、舌動部5のバネ力に抗した押し上げ及び舌引戻し運動等を多様に付加することができるため、顔ヨガ分野での新規的な噛挟み具利用型の顔の筋トレ方法を開発し易くすることができ、且つ顔の内筋に所定の運動負荷を付与するツール利用特有の、例えば「鼻腔拡縮動作」を融合したトレーニングを可能にする。
また復元可能に変形する噛挟み具1は、必要により使用者が両手によって銜えた噛挟み具1の外側非噛み部2s側を把持して行う、顔の上下左右誘導運動や上体の捻り並びにスクワット運動を腕及び肩甲骨運動と共に好適化することができる。
このように顔ヨガと融合使用可能な噛挟み具1と使用方法は、新規的な顔の美容健康はもとよりボイストレーニング並びに誤嚥防止用のトレーニングも可能にする。
尚、図示例の噛挟み具1は、口角接触部2kの端部側と口角上延長部2Lとを接手部7jを介して着脱可能にしているため、分解製作及び多様な使用を容易且つ可能にし、また左右の口角接触部2k側を所定のバネ力を有して連結する連結取付杆7eを設け、この形状やバネ力を利用した顔ヨガトレーニングを可能にしている。また図8で前記したバルーン構造の舌動操作部28を設けて使用する場合は、舌運動を加味したより高度な顔ヨガ運動をすることができる。
またバルーンをエアーポンプと接続する場合は、図14(c)で示す舌動部5をパイプ材となしその中途部と接続すると、バルーンへのエアーの供給及び支持構造を簡潔で使用し易くすることができるので、顎を強制的に上下運動させる等各種噛挟みトレーニングが可能な動力利用型の噛挟み具1の使用方法を提供できる。
[Fusion training / balloon power utilization type of spring force type biting tool and face yoga in Fig. 14]
Next, the biting tool 1 and its method when used for face yoga (facial muscle training) suitable for the anti-aging will be described with reference to FIG. 14 (a). Since the biting tool 1 in the illustrated example is made of a material and a shape having an elastic force (spring) that can elastically restore the vertical movement of the entire biting body 2 and the corner contact portion 2k, the user can use it. When repeating, for example, "squeezing the mouth and raising the corner of the mouth" peculiar to face yoga while holding the biting tool 1, the left and right corners of the mouth contact 2k side are inward arrow direction from the normal pinching posture while holding the bite. It can be elastically narrowed and deformed, and after that, when the corner of the mouth is returned to the original posture of raising the corner of the mouth by releasing the purging of the lips, the corner of the mouth 2k is returned to the original position by the spring force that follows this return movement speed. Return.
As a result, the user who grabs the biting tool 1 can move the facial muscles such as the mouth and cheeks in a direction that opposes the spring force of each part, and the deformation drag force due to the spring force and the movement such as braking return resistance that hinders the return operation. While experiencing the load, you can perform a new face yoga exercise using a bite.
At this time, since the biting tool 1 can add various push-up and tongue pull-back movements against the spring force of the tongue moving portion 5, it is a new type of biting tool used in the field of face yoga. It is possible to easily develop a facial muscle training method, and to enable training that is unique to the use of a tool that applies a predetermined exercise load to the internal muscles of the face, for example, "nasal enlargement / contraction motion".
Further, the chewing tool 1 that can be reconstructably deformed is performed by grasping the outer non-biting portion 2s side of the biting tool 1 that the user holds with both hands as necessary, such as up / down / left / right guidance movement of the face and twisting of the upper body. Squat movements can be optimized along with arm and scapula movements.
As described above, the chewing tool 1 and the usage method that can be used in combination with face yoga enable not only new facial beauty and health but also voice training and training for preventing aspiration.
In the biting tool 1 of the illustrated example, since the end side of the mouth angle contact portion 2k and the mouth angle upper extension portion 2L can be attached and detached via the contact portion 7j, it can be easily disassembled and manufactured and used in various ways. In addition, a connecting mounting rod 7e that connects the left and right corner contact portions 2k side with a predetermined spring force is provided, and face yoga training using this shape and spring force is possible. Further, when the tongue movement operation unit 28 having the balloon structure described above is provided and used in FIG. 8, it is possible to perform more advanced facial yoga exercise in consideration of the tongue movement.
When connecting the balloon to the air pump, if the tongue movement portion 5 shown in FIG. 14C is connected to the pipe material and the middle portion thereof, the air supply to the balloon and the support structure are simple and easy to use. Therefore, it is possible to provide a method of using the power-utilizing type biting tool 1 capable of various biting training such as forcibly moving the jaw up and down.

〔図15線状部材による舌外接型舌動操作部28を有する噛挟み具の構成作用〕
図15の噛挟み具1は、図14に示すものと舌動部5の構成を一部異にし他は略同構造にしている。この舌動部5は前方に向けて湾曲状をなす左右の舌動部材(アーム)の前部を下向き後方に折り返した先端にループ形状に曲げた外接型の舌動操作部28を形成している。これにより舌内接型の舌動操作部28を有する噛挟み具1は、図1,図14で示すものと同様に銜えて噛挟み運動を可能にしながら、舌先を舌動操作部28の外周に沿わせ図15(b)に矢印で示すように外接しながら移動させる舌運動を行うようにしている。即ち、この噛挟み具1は図15(c)で示すように、舌動部5を噛み部2a側から上方に向けて傾斜させて上げることにより上歯内係合部2wを形成すると共に、舌動部5の先端側が口蓋に近接する位置で舌前歯に沿わせて湾曲させて折り返す支持部5gを介し、平面視U字状の舌動操作部28を舌の裏側に臨ませ且つ口腔底から離して浮き上がる位置に向け後方突出させている。
これにより噛挟み具1は、口内に突出支持される舌動操作部28を外周に沿って舌を回しながら接触や押接をすることができ、また支持部5gを舌先で押圧すると共に、舌動部5を下方からなぞる等の多様な舌運動を行うことができる。
そして、舌動操作部28を舌下に臨ませる噛挟み具1は、唾液腺の近隣を刺激して唾液分泌をし易くすることができる等の利点がある。尚、上記構成される噛挟み具1は、前記箆型の上ガイド部28bを併設することができ、また上ガイド部28bや舌動操作部28には任意な操作機能を有する操作面28fを設ける場合には、リモコン等電気的な操作具にすることができる。また舌内接型の噛挟み具1は、線状部材に限ることなく図6で示すような材質とウエーブ型形状によって製作することができる。
[FIG. 15 Constituent action of a biting tool having a tongue circumscribed tongue movement operating portion 28 by a linear member]
The biting tool 1 of FIG. 15 has a structure in which the tongue moving portion 5 is partially different from that shown in FIG. 14, and the other parts have substantially the same structure. The tongue movement portion 5 forms an circumscribed tongue movement operation portion 28 bent in a loop shape at the tip of the left and right tongue movement members (arms) that are curved toward the front and folded downward and backward. There is. As a result, the biting tool 1 having the tongue inscribed type tongue movement operating portion 28 can hold the tongue tip to the outer circumference of the tongue movement operating portion 28 while enabling the biting movement in the same manner as those shown in FIGS. As shown by the arrow in FIG. 15 (b), the tongue movement is performed so as to move while circumscribing. That is, as shown in FIG. 15 (c), the biting tool 1 forms the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w by inclining and raising the tongue moving portion 5 from the biting portion 2a side upward. The U-shaped tongue movement operation part 28 in a plan view faces the back side of the tongue and the floor of the oral cavity through a support part 5g that bends and folds along the anterior teeth of the tongue at a position where the tip side of the tongue movement part 5 is close to the palate. It is projected backward toward a position where it floats away from the tongue.
As a result, the biting tool 1 can contact and press the tongue movement operating portion 28 that is projected and supported in the mouth while rotating the tongue along the outer circumference, and also presses the support portion 5 g with the tip of the tongue and the tongue. Various tongue movements such as tracing the moving part 5 from below can be performed.
The biting tool 1 that causes the tongue movement operation unit 28 to face under the tongue has an advantage that it can stimulate the vicinity of the salivary glands to facilitate saliva secretion. The biting tool 1 to be configured can be provided with the upper guide portion 28b of the spatula type, and the upper guide portion 28b and the tongue movement operation portion 28 are provided with an operation surface 28f having an arbitrary operation function. If provided, it can be an electrical operating tool such as a remote controller. Further, the tongue inscribed type biting tool 1 is not limited to the linear member, and can be manufactured by the material and the wave type shape as shown in FIG.

〔図16のシリコン口内型噛挟み体と後延長噛み部45と口角内接触噛挟み片5h〕
図16の噛挟み具1はシリコン等の合成樹脂材によって製作する実施形態を示し、左右対称形状で対をなす噛挟み体1cの前部を、歯列Bの前歯から後方下方に離間させ下向きに湾曲する舌動部5の基部側で一体的に連結するようにしている。そして、この噛挟み体1cは、前後方向に長いブロック形状の噛み部2aと、該噛み部2aの前部外側に図13で記したものと同様な作用を奏する口角内接触噛挟み片5hを有している。以下各部の詳細について説明する。
左右の噛挟み体1cの噛み部2aは、図6のものと同様な断面形状のブロック体にする一方で、前記後方噛み距離Lを最奥歯2本分の長さ程度とし、且つその後方に最奥歯1本程度の長さを有する後延長噛み部45を設けることが望ましく、該後延長噛み部45の内側後面に外向きに傾斜する舌誘導面46を斜面状に形成している。
これにより噛挟み時に噛み部2aは、親知らず歯を抜いた後に口蓋左右奥との間に形成される最奥歯1本程度の空間部(最奥歯後方空間と言う)を、後延長噛み部45が埋めるように臨むため、該空間部内への舌先の入り込みを防止し舌を引っ掛けることなく、例えば、左右の舌誘導面46を舌で左右交互に押動する等の口奥側で行う新規な舌奥負荷運動を可能にする。このとき左右の歯に点的に接当する上歯内係合部2w又は下歯内係合部5wは、各突起状係合部が支点になり噛挟み具1を左右円弧動作させるので、左右の口角接触部2k、口角内接触噛挟み片5h、口角上延長部2L等を顔に交互に押接する等多様性を有した舌運動を効果的に可能にする利点がある。
[Silicone mouth-type biting body, rear extension biting portion 45, and mouth corner contact biting piece 5h in FIG. 16]
The biting tool 1 of FIG. 16 shows an embodiment made of a synthetic resin material such as silicon, and the front part of the biting body 1c paired in a symmetrical shape is separated rearward and downward from the front teeth of the dentition B and faces downward. The tongue movement portion 5 curved to the base side is integrally connected at the base side. Then, the biting body 1c has a block-shaped biting portion 2a that is long in the front-rear direction, and an intraoral contact biting piece 5h that exerts the same action as that shown in FIG. 13 on the outside of the front portion of the biting portion 2a. Have. Details of each part will be described below.
The biting portion 2a of the left and right biting bodies 1c is a block body having the same cross-sectional shape as that of FIG. 6, while the rear biting distance L is set to about the length of two innermost teeth and behind it. It is desirable to provide a rear extension bite portion 45 having a length of about one innermost tooth, and a tongue guide surface 46 inclined outward is formed on the inner rear surface of the rear extension bite portion 45 in a slanted shape.
As a result, the biting portion 2a is a space portion (referred to as the posterior space of the innermost teeth) formed between the left and right backs of the palate after the wisdom tooth is pulled out, and the rear extension biting portion 45 is formed. A new tongue that is performed on the back side of the mouth, for example, by alternately pushing the left and right tongue guidance surfaces 46 with the tongue, without preventing the tip of the tongue from entering the space and hooking the tongue in order to fill it. Enables back load exercise. At this time, the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w or the lower tooth intradental engaging portion 5w, which are point-contacted with the left and right teeth, have each protruding engaging portion as a fulcrum and operate the biting tool 1 in a left-right arc. There is an advantage that various tongue movements can be effectively performed, such as alternately pressing the left and right mouth corner contact portions 2k, the mouth corner contact biting piece 5h, and the mouth angle upper extension portion 2L against the face.

また噛み部2aが前方移動したとき、その後部に延びる後延長噛み部45を最奥歯によって速やかに噛挟みできるので、それ以上の前方移動を阻止することができる利点もある。尚、後延長噛み部45は噛み部2a本体より薄く形成することが望ましく、この場合には抜歯しないで残っている親知らず歯との大きな接触を緩和するため、違和感を伴うことなく噛挟み及び噛挟み運動並びに舌回し等各種の舌運動を可能にする。
挟み体1cは、噛み部2aの前部外側に形成する口角内接触噛挟み片5hの内側前部と噛み部2aの前部又は舌動部5の基部側とを、リブ作用を奏する補強片47によって接続している。これにより補強片47は、口角接触部2kが上向きの矢印で示す口角回動引き上げ作用(口角押上げ動作)をするとき、口角後縁Kの押接反力によって口角内接触噛挟み片5hが安易に撓むことを防止し口角接触刺激を維持させると共に、平面視における噛挟み体1cの隅角部を無くしながら使用し易い流線型にすることができる等の特徴がある。
Further, when the bite portion 2a moves forward, the rear extension bite portion 45 extending to the rear portion can be quickly bitten by the innermost teeth, so that there is an advantage that further forward movement can be prevented. It is desirable that the rear extension bite portion 45 be formed thinner than the main body of the bite portion 2a. In this case, in order to alleviate a large contact with the wisdom tooth remaining without extracting the tooth, the rear extension bite portion 45 is not discomforted and is bitten and bitten. Enables various tongue movements such as pinching and turning the tongue.
The sandwiching body 1c is a reinforcing piece that acts as a rib on the inner front portion of the intraoral contact biting piece 5h formed on the outer side of the front portion of the biting portion 2a and the front portion of the biting portion 2a or the base side of the tongue moving portion 5. It is connected by 47. As a result, when the mouth angle contact portion 2k performs the mouth angle rotation pulling action (mouth angle pushing operation) indicated by the upward arrow, the reinforcing piece 47 has the mouth corner contact biting piece 5h due to the pressing reaction force of the mouth corner trailing edge K. It has features such as being able to prevent easy bending and maintain mouth corner contact stimulation, and to make it a streamlined shape that is easy to use while eliminating the corners of the biting body 1c in a plan view.

次に、上記噛挟み具1の使用方法とその態様について図16を参照し説明する。
先ず、噛挟み具1を口に銜える際に使用者は、舌動部5の弾性力に抗して左右の噛挟み体1cの銜え幅を狭くし噛み部2aの後部を口腔内に半差し入れ状態にしながら、舌動部5を舌下口腔底に位置決めして手を離す。これにより左右の噛み部2aは、舌動部5の復元力によって口腔適正位置に内接するように拡開し、上歯内係合部2w又は下歯内係合部5wが左右の歯に接当する位置に簡単に位置決めすることができ、噛み部2aを奥歯側に載せた状態での噛み直し動作により噛挟み具1を最適噛挟み姿勢に安定的に支持することができる。
そして、前記口角上げ距離H等を介して口角接触部2kを備える噛挟み具1の場合は、噛み本体2の上方側移動が規制され噛み部2aが下側歯列Bの奥歯表面から浮き上がることや離脱する等の噛挟み部浮上り現象を防止することができ、また口角接触部2kが口角回動引き上げ作用をするときに、口角後縁Kをより上方側に向けて笑顔状態になるように口角上方付勢をすることになる。
Next, a method of using the biting tool 1 and a mode thereof will be described with reference to FIG.
First, when the biting tool 1 is bitten into the mouth, the user narrows the biting width of the left and right biting bodies 1c against the elastic force of the tongue moving portion 5 and half the rear part of the biting portion 2a into the oral cavity. While in the inserted state, position the tongue moving portion 5 on the floor of the oral cavity below the tongue and release the hand. As a result, the left and right biting portions 2a are expanded so as to be inscribed in the proper oral position by the restoring force of the tongue moving portion 5, and the upper tooth intradental engaging portion 2w or the lower intradental engaging portion 5w is in contact with the left and right teeth. It can be easily positioned at the contacting position, and the biting tool 1 can be stably supported in the optimum biting posture by the re-biting operation with the biting portion 2a placed on the back tooth side.
In the case of the biting tool 1 provided with the mouth angle contact portion 2k via the mouth angle raising distance H or the like, the upward movement of the biting body 2 is restricted and the biting portion 2a rises from the back tooth surface of the lower dentition B. It is possible to prevent the chewing part from rising, such as when it comes off or when it comes off, and when the mouth angle contact part 2k acts to rotate and pull up the mouth angle, the trailing edge K of the mouth angle is directed toward the upper side so that it smiles. Will be urged above the corner of the mouth.

また噛挟み具1は、噛み本体2の前部を舌動部5と口角接触部2kとによって安定支持し、且つ口角接触部2kから後方噛み距離Lを有して噛み部2aを最奥歯側でしっかりと安定よく噛むことができ且つ噛み直しも容易にするため、図6のものと同様に笑顔キープ運動及び口角押上げ動作を繰り返すことができ長時間にわたる噛挟み具1の使用を好適に行うことができる。
また噛挟み体1cの噛み部2aは、その噛み面の両サイドに噛みガイド用の立壁を敢えて設けることなくフラット状にしているため、口を大きく開けて行う噛挟み運動時に上歯との引っ掛かりを防止した噛挟みをスムーズ且つ迅速に行うと共に、矢印で示すように顎を上下して行う噛み直しや奥歯側での舌回し等の噛挟み運動を行い易くする。
Further, the biting tool 1 stably supports the front part of the biting body 2 by the tongue moving part 5 and the mouth corner contact part 2k, and has a rear biting distance L from the mouth corner contact part 2k so that the biting part 2a is on the innermost tooth side. In order to be able to chew firmly and stably and to facilitate re-chewing, it is possible to repeat the smile keeping motion and the mouth corner pushing motion as in FIG. 6, and it is preferable to use the chewing tool 1 for a long time. It can be carried out.
Further, since the biting portion 2a of the biting body 1c is flattened without intentionally providing standing walls for biting guides on both sides of the biting surface, it is caught by the upper teeth during the biting motion performed by opening the mouth wide. As shown by the arrow, it facilitates the biting movement such as re-biting by moving the jaw up and down and turning the tongue on the back tooth side.

一方、口角内接触噛挟み片5hは図16(c)に2点鎖線で示すように、上下方向に広幅にすることができ、この場合には外周を口腔前庭に通ずる口角部の内側に大きく差入れることができるため、口角部への接触刺激を内側からより高めることができ、噛挟み運動に伴い歯茎等への接当マッサージによる使用感を高める利点がある。
また口角内接触噛挟み片5hは、口角接触部2kの基部側に設けられて口角部を口内側から塞ぐ構成にすると、口角接触部2kの噛挟み時に上下の唇の間に生じる隙間(口角唇噛挟み隙間と言う)からの息漏れを簡単に防止することができる。尚、口角上げ距離H、後方噛み距離L、舌動部5等の長さ幅や形状は、いずれも口の大きさ或は好みに応じた噛挟み使用を可能とするように調節自在な構造又は材質にすることが好ましい。また図16(a)に2点鎖線で示すように、口角内接触噛挟み片5hに口角部から大きく突出させない形状の口角接触部2kを形成する場合には、既述の口内型のものと同様に噛挟み具1を口内に入れた姿勢を外観し難くすると共に、噛挟み具1を銜えた状態でマスクを大きく変形させることなく装着できるので、人目を気にすることなく長時間にわたり使用することができる等の特徴がある。
On the other hand, the intraoral contact biting piece 5h can be widened in the vertical direction as shown by the two-point chain line in FIG. 16C, and in this case, the outer circumference is large inside the corner of the mouth leading to the oral vestibule. Since it can be inserted, the contact stimulus to the corner of the mouth can be further enhanced from the inside, and there is an advantage that the feeling of use by the contact massage to the gums and the like accompanying the chewing movement is enhanced.
Further, if the mouth corner contact biting piece 5h is provided on the base side of the mouth corner contact portion 2k and the mouth corner portion is closed from the inside of the mouth, a gap (mouth corner) generated between the upper and lower lips when the mouth corner contact portion 2k is bitten. It is possible to easily prevent breath leakage from the gap between the lips. The length, width, and shape of the mouth angle raising distance H, the rear biting distance L, the tongue moving part 5, etc. are all adjustable so as to enable the use of biting according to the size of the mouth or preference. Alternatively, it is preferably made of a material. Further, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 16A, when the mouth corner contact portion 2k having a shape that does not protrude significantly from the mouth corner portion is formed on the mouth corner contact biting piece 5h, the above-mentioned mouth corner type is used. Similarly, it makes it difficult to see the posture in which the chewing tool 1 is put in the mouth, and the mask can be worn while holding the chewing tool 1 without significantly deforming it, so it can be used for a long time without worrying about the eyes. There are features such as being able to do.

即ち、上記アイトレーニングの必要性は、例えば、平成29年7月19日のNHKガッテン「疲れ目撃退」番組によれば、近年のスマホ過剰使用で生ずる急性内斜視の予防には、画面から眼を30cm以上離すこと、4時間以上の使用を避けること、1時間に1分間の眼閉じ回復動作をすること、さらには動体視力も高める寄せ眼可能トレーニングをすること等が推奨された。また両眼で遠方から眼前側に向けて焦点を合わせ移動する寄せ眼ビジョントレーニングの継続は、動体視力も高め各種スポーツや競技の成果を大きくし記録更新に繋がることが明らかにされた。 このような背景において、在来のアイトレーニング具やビジョントレーニング法では、好適な噛挟み具を口に銜えて携帯利用するものでないため、アイトレーニング具を身体に装着したままでは移動使用し難いこと、装着状態での操作ができ難いこと、また操作や装着構造が煩雑でコスト高になる等の課題がある。 That is, the necessity of the above eye training is, for example, according to the NHK Gatten "Repel tired eyes" program on July 19, 2017, to prevent acute esotropia caused by overuse of smartphones in recent years, the eyes are seen from the screen. It was recommended to keep the eyes away by 30 cm or more, avoid using them for 4 hours or more, perform eye closure recovery operation for 1 minute per hour, and perform eye strain training that enhances dynamic visual acuity. In addition, it was clarified that the continuation of the eye-catching vision training, in which both eyes focus and move from a distance to the front side of the eye, enhances dynamic visual acuity, enhances the results of various sports and competitions, and leads to record breaking. Against this background, conventional eye training tools and vision training methods do not carry a suitable biting tool in the mouth, so it is difficult to move and use the eye training tool while wearing it on the body. There are problems that it is difficult to operate in the mounted state, and that the operation and mounting structure are complicated and the cost is high.

そこで、上記課題解決のための実施形態のアイトレーニング具70は、放映内容の背景と対応理論を踏まえ、噛挟み具1又はスタンド60に取付けて併用することにより、寄せ眼トレーニング等必要とされるアイトレーニングを日常的に簡便に行い易くすることにより、所期のトレーニングを効果的に達成することを目的とする。 即ち、図示例のアイトレーニング具70は、例えば使用者が前後方向に配設された視点部71を介して前側遠方から手前側に向け視点(焦点)を順次移動させる視点誘導手段によって寄せ眼をすることができる。またこの際の携帯移動を、噛挟み具1又は前記顎載せ可能なスタンド60を介して容易にするため、上記課題の達成と使用効果の向上することができる。またアイトレーニング具70は、その視点誘導手段をアーム70b長に沿って配置される前後方向の指標71を上記所定の視点誘導手段並びに他のトレーニングパターンによって光認識させることができる。そして、ランプ利用等の電気的動作方式にする場合の電気的動作部のコントロールは、前記各実施形態で既述した操作手段26やスマホ並びにIOT等のコントロール技術によって可能にすることができる。 一方、電気的動作方式にする場合の視点部71は、1つの画面(スクリーン等)内で遠近認識可能画像を変化させることや画像位置を変化可能にするランプや画面等の画面装置化を容易にすることができ、この場合にはアイトレーニング具70を前記視界表示具18としてコンパクト且つ変化コントロールを容易にすることができるので、視線を多様に動かす動体視力ほか所望ビジョントレーニングを容易にする。 Therefore, the eye training tool 70 of the embodiment for solving the above-mentioned problem is required to be used in combination with the biting tool 1 or the stand 60 based on the background of the broadcast content and the corresponding theory, such as eye training. The purpose is to effectively achieve the desired training by making it easier to perform eye training on a daily basis. That is, in the eye training tool 70 of the illustrated example, for example, the eye training tool 70 uses a viewpoint guiding means for sequentially moving the viewpoint (focus) from the front side far to the front side via the viewpoint portion 71 arranged in the front-rear direction. can do. Further, since the portable movement at this time is facilitated via the biting tool 1 or the jaw-mounted stand 60, the above-mentioned problems can be achieved and the effect of use can be improved. Further, the eye training tool 70 can lightly recognize the index 71 in the front-rear direction in which the viewpoint guiding means is arranged along the length of the arm 70b by the predetermined viewpoint guiding means and other training patterns. Then, the control of the electric operation unit in the case of adopting the electric operation method such as the use of a lamp can be made possible by the control technology such as the operation means 26, the smartphone, and the IOT described in each of the above-described embodiments. On the other hand, the viewpoint unit 71 in the case of using the electric operation method makes it easy to change the perspective recognizable image in one screen (screen or the like) or to make a screen device such as a lamp or a screen that can change the image position. In this case, the eye training tool 70 can be used as the visual field display tool 18 to be compact and easy to control changes, so that dynamic visual acuity that moves the line of sight in various ways and other desired vision training can be facilitated.
