Abstract
A respiration assisting apparatus is provided, including a first anchor structure for fitting between the teeth and the cheek of a first side of a user mouth to retain the apparatus in operational position; and a lip separating structure extending forwardly from the first anchor structure for passing between and separating the lips of a user. The first anchor structure and lip separating structure preferably include venting openings for permitting oxygen to reach adjacent mouth tissue. The first anchor structure preferably includes an upright first anchor panel. The lip separating structure preferably includes a projection channel extending longitudinally forward from the first anchor structure. The respiration assisting apparatus optionally additionally includes a tongue suppressing bridge.
Claims17
A respiration assisting apparatus, comprising:
- a first anchor structure for fitting between the teeth and the cheek of a first side of a user mouth to retain the apparatus in operational position;
- and a lip separating structure extending forwardly from said first anchor structure for passing between and separating the lips of a user, said lip separating structure extending longitudinally forward from said first anchor structure to pass adjacent to user teeth and having a laterally open separating structure upright portion, such that respiration air can flow both laterally against and longitudinally along said lip separating structure.
A respiration assisting apparatus, comprising:
- a first anchor structure for fitting between the teeth and the cheek of a first side of a user mouth to retain the apparatus in operational position;
- and a lip separating structure extending forwardly from said first anchor structure for passing between and separating the lips of a user, said lip separating structure comprising a laterally open projection channel extending longitudinally forward from said first anchor structure and having an upright channel web and laterally extending channel side walls, such that said channel is laterally open and respiration air can flow laterally into and longitudinally through the interior of said projection channel.
A respiration assisting apparatus, comprising:
- an anchor structure for fitting between the teeth and the cheek of a first side of a user mouth to retain the apparatus in operational position, said anchor structure having a radial series of individually removable perimeter strips for reducing the height and length of said anchor structure to custom size said anchor structure to fit a specific user mouth;
- and a lip separating structure extending forwardly from said anchor structure for passing between and separating the lips of a user, said lip separating structure extending longitudinally forward from said anchor structure to pass adjacent to user teeth and having a laterally open separating structure upright portion, such that respiration air can flow both laterally against and longitudinally along said lip separating structure.
