Abstract
Various example embodiments relate to a respiration guidance device including: an outer casing configured to change shape; and a drive unit located within the outer casing and configured to change the shape of the outer casing according to a desired breathing pattern; and the outer casing has at least one slit dividing the outer casing into at least one portion displaceable with respect to a remaining portion of the outer casing; and the drive unit is configured to change the shape of the outer casing by displacing the at least one portion.
Claims10
A respiration guidance device comprising:
- an outer casing configured to change shape;
- and
- a drive unit located within the outer casing and configured to change the shape of the outer casing according to a desired breathing pattern;
- and
- wherein the outer casing comprises at least one slit dividing the outer casing into at least one portion displaceable with respect to a remaining portion of the outer casing;
- and
- wherein the drive unit is configured to change the shape of the outer casing by displacing the at least one portion;
- wherein the drive unit comprises a camshaft for translating a rotational movement into the displacement of the outer casing;
- wherein the drive unit further comprises at least one cantilever for transforming the movement of the camshaft into the displacement of the outer casing;
- wherein the at least one cantilever is configured to engage with the at least one portion at one end and to engage with the camshaft at the other end;
- and
- wherein the at least one cantilever is configured to disengage from the at least one portion upon exerting an external pressure on the outer casing.
