Definitions

  • the invention relates to a facial muscle trainer with a first half and a second half staple, which are scissor-like and spring-loaded interconnected and rotatably arranged about an axis, wherein in each case at one end of each clamp half opposite a bite plate is arranged, which connects via at least one fastening means with the end portion is.
  • Such a facial muscle trainer is from the DE 198 31 294 C2 known.
  • the two half-clamps are first pressed together with the fingers of both hands of a person, then inserted into the person's mouth and then the compressed clamp halves are released with your fingers.
  • Bite training now begins by biting the respective bite plate with the upper and lower rows of teeth. After completion of the biting exercise, the two clamp halves are pressed together with the fingers of both hands and removed from the upper and lower rows of teeth.
  • the bite training works on the wrinkles and fat deposits in the face, causing the facial wrinkles to become less or smooth and remove the fat deposits on the face. Furthermore, a better circulation in the whole head is achieved. This circulation has a positive effect on tensions, headaches and migraines.
  • the known facial muscle trainer is also used for problems in the jaw area, for example, after jaw fractures or weak jaw.
  • it can be used as a sports device to train the jaw and neck muscles.
  • the facial muscle trainer can be used in martial arts, such as boxing.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop the facial muscle trainer of the type mentioned in such a way that the bite plates can be attached to the bracket halves in a structurally simple manner.
  • the bite plate is manufactured as a molded part in one operation and thus already has the fastening means in the facial muscle trainer according to the invention. As a result, no further manufacturing operations for the mounting clamp and the screw are necessary as in the known facial muscle trainer. Furthermore, the bite plate can be mounted in a simple manner on a clip half, since the fastening means are already integrated in the bite plate. A complex assembly and screwing as in the known facial muscle trainer thus eliminated.
  • the at least one fastening means is formed as a lip which engages around an outer edge of the end portion and abuts against an inner end surface of the end portion.
  • the lip encloses the outer edge of the end portion of the clip half and thus guarantees a secure attachment of the bite plate, which also can be solved in a simple manner again from the clip half.
  • the lip can be formed in a variety of ways in terms of length and width. It is conceivable to make the lip so broad that, together with the upper part of the bite plate, it forms a pocket in which the end region of the clip half engages.
  • the lip may also be formed interrupted over the circumference of the bite plate, so that not every area of the outer edge of the end region is enclosed by the lip.
  • the lip extends over the entire circumference of the bite plate and thus also encompasses the entire outer edge of the end region.
  • a side protection is achieved in addition, since the entire outer edge of the end portion is covered, thereby avoiding possible injuries.
  • the inner end surface of the end portion has a step-like shoulder on which abuts the lip with an end face.
  • the lip is received by the step-like shoulder, so that the outside of the lip does not protrude substantially beyond the inner end surface of the end portion of the clip half and thereby also offers no possibility, for example, touched by the tongue and moved.
  • the outer side of the lip is completely flush with the inner end surface of the end portion, advantageously a height of the step-like shoulder and a thickness of the lip are the same.
  • each bite plate to its bottom open recesses are provided as further fastening means, in which on the upper end face each Clamp half arranged counterparts engage positively.
  • the recesses and the counterparts may be formed in various ways, it has been found to be expedient that the recesses are cylindrical, each with a pin engages in each recess.
  • a development of the invention provides that a recess is formed like a slot and extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the two clamp halves.
  • This recess is arranged in the front region of the bite plate and serves on the one hand also as attachment and protection against slipping of the bite plate and on the other hand as a reinforcement of a tooth stopper, which is integrally formed on the bite plate and serves to secure the positioned rows of teeth on the bite plate, so there is no danger of slipping ,
  • the facial muscle trainer according to the invention has a first clamp half 1 and a second clamp half 2. Both clamp halves 1, 2 represent a clamp unit, wherein the shape of each clamp half 1, 2 is identical.
  • Each clamp half 1, 2 has an upper surface 3 and a lower surface 4, which are connected by an off-centered web 5, which is perpendicular to the upper surface 3 and the lower surface 4.
  • Each clip half 1, 2 is reinforced by a web 6, which centrally has a fixed sleeve 7.
  • the sleeve 7 serves to receive an axle 8 in the form of a bolt, so that the two clamp halves 1, 2 are scissor-like connected and rotatable.
  • Each land 5 gradually decreases in height toward an end portion of the upper surface 3 and the lower surface 4.
  • the facial muscle trainer also has a leg spring, not shown in detail in the drawing, so that the two clamp halves are spring-loaded.
  • a bite plate 10 is arranged at one of the two end portions 9 of the first half clip 1 .
  • a biting plate 10 is likewise arranged opposite the second half-bracket 2.
  • Each bite plate 10 has a thickening 11 with ribs 12, which extend transversely to a longitudinal direction 13 of the two clamp halves 1, 2, a tooth stop 14 and a molded lip 15.
  • the lip 15 engages around an outer edge 16 of the first clip half 1 and abuts against an inner end face 17 of the first clip half 1.
  • the lip 15 of the bite plate 10 which is arranged on the second clip half 2, surrounds the outer edge 16 of this clip half and also bears against the inner end face 17 of the second clip half 2.
  • the lip 15 has an approximately vertically extending lip region 18 and an approximately horizontally extending lip region 19. The lip 15 extends over the entire outer circumference the bite plate 10, which is covered by the vertical lip portion 18 of the outer edge 16 and thereby provides protection against possible injury.
  • a step-like shoulder 20 is formed in the inner end surface 17.
  • the lip 15 abuts with an end face 21 of the horizontal lip region 19. Since the height of this step-like step 20 and the thickness of the horizontal lip portion 19 are the same, the lip portion 19 terminates flush with the inner end surface 17.
  • the bite plate 10 When attaching a bite plate 10 on a staple half 1, the bite plate 10 is placed in the end region 9 on the clip half and the flexible and elastic lip 15 is brought by initial Nachau type and subsequent automatic contraction over the outer edge 16. For a secure attachment of the bite plate 10 is ensured on the clamp half 1.
  • each recess 22 engages positively a pin 24, which is formed on an upper end surface 25 of the end portion 9 of each half-bracket 1, 2.
  • Each upper end surface 25 also has a web 26 which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction 13. The web 26 is located at the very end of the end portion 9 and engages positively in a further recess 27 of the bite plate 10 in the region of the tooth stopper 14.
  • the underside 23 of the bite plate 10 and the upper end surface 25 are formed very smooth, so that when applying the bottom 23 to the end surface 25 a very good adhesion is achieved. As a result, the bite plate 10 is also secured on the clip half 1 against slipping.
