Description:
ERGONOMIC JAW EXERCISE APPARATUS

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to an ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus, which makes jaw muscles work and helps removal of wrinkles on double jaws.

The invention specifically relates to a jaw exercise apparatus including a main body used to prevent the compression forces from the lower jaw and upper jaw from causing deformation and to ensure distribution and attenuation of such forces thanks to the force-damping angled surfaces on it.

PRIOR ART

Today, exercise apparatus play an important role in human life. Such apparatus are especially needed to strengthen the jaw structure and remove wrinkles in the upper jaw area. However, flat surface of the jaw exercise apparatus causes people to deform the apparatus while using it and results in improper functioning of jaw muscles.

In the relevant technique, the apparatus used are deformed with exercise of jaw muscles and prevent mobility of mouth due the geometric form thereof.

In the relevant technique, the force that arises due to the jaw pressure while exercising creates resistance in the central part of the apparatus, and this force causes the apparatus to deform as it accumulates in the central part. This leads to deformation of the geometry of the apparatus, resulting in improper functioning of jaw muscles.

In conclusion, it was necessary to develop a device to solve the aforementioned problems in the relevant technique. Flatness of the holding parts of the teeth pieces used in the relevant technique causes the teeth pieces to easily come out during the biting process.

The fact that, in the relevant technique, the connecting apparatus that hold the teeth pieces and stick in the body do not oscillate in the body cavity but stay in the body cause the teeth pieces to act as nails, resulting in damage to and rupture of the body.

PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

The invention solves all of the aforementioned problems at once. In the most general sense, this invention is a jaw exercise apparatus including a main body used to prevent the compression forces from the lower jaw and upper jaw from causing deformation and to ensure distribution and attenuation of such forces thanks to the force-damping angled surfaces on it.

Purpose of the invention is to ensure functioning of both jaw and face muscles through a single apparatus and reduction of the wrinkles on double jaws.

Another purpose of the invention was to make it easy to carry due to its ergonomic structure. For this reason, it can be often used in the daily life.

Another purpose of the invention is to ensure that the jaw muscles function more actively by distributing the jaw muscle force applied by the user during exercise to a larger area, thanks to the teeth piece shaped according to the teeth structure in the mouth.

Another purpose of the invention is to allow for placing the connecting apparatus that enable the teeth pieces to fasten onto the body into the main body part with the same angle as the form of the teeth piece (slightly diagonal) to prevent the teeth piece from coming out during the biting process.

The structural features and characteristics and all advantages of the invention will now be more clearly understood through the following figures, and the detailed description given with reference to the figures. Therefore, evaluation should be carried out by considering these figures and the detailed description.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Ergonomic jaw apparatus (100) shown as assembled in the Figure-1 and as disassembled in the Figure-2 consists of a main body (110) and a teeth piece (120).

As shown in the Figure-1, teeth piece positioning area (112) is located on the main body (110) of the ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus (100). The teeth piece (120) is connected to teeth piece positioning area (112) using the connecting apparatus (121). When this connection is set, the main body (110) and the teeth piece (120) become a whole angularly in terms of geometry to complement each other. The teeth piece (120) is manufactured by forming according to the structure of the user's teeth. This facilitates fitting of the ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus (100) into the mouth cavity of the user, and generation of the force between the upper jaw and lower jaw during exercise.

In the invention, after the ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus (100) is assembled as shown in the Figure-3, it is firstly put into hot water, and then, for the initial use, the user should take this ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus (100) from hot water, position his/her teeth on it, and bite it. After this biting process, impression of the user's teeth will be generated on the teeth piece (120), and a lock support area (121.1) is created with the heat effect on the inner surface of the connecting apparatus (121) placed into the inner cavity of the ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus as shown in the Figure-4. Once the ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus (100), which was boiled in hot water, is bitten by the user, the connection apparatus (121) are exposed to force, and then, resistance to force is generated on the inner body surface of the ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus (100). With this resistance, a lock support area (121.1) is created on the inner surface of the connecting apparatus (121). This lock support area (121.1) prevents separation of the teeth piece (120) from the main body (110). Furthermore, the connecting apparatus (121) are angularly positioned in the teeth piece (120) to increase the fastening force of the teeth piece (120) to the main body (110) and ensure interlocking.

Another feature of the invention is force-damping angled surfaces (111) formed on the main body (110). Compression force from the lower jaw and upper jaw is distributed on the main body (110) and damped thanks to the force-damping angled surfaces (111). This allows the user to use the ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus (100) more easily, and prevents deformation of the main body (110) of the ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus (100).

In summary, the invention is an ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus (100) used to exercise jaw muscles and remove wrinkles on jaw. The invention involves a main body (110) used to prevent the compression force from the lower jaw and upper jaw from causing deformation and to ensure distribution and attenuation of such forces thanks to the force-damping angled surfaces (111) on it. On the main body (110), a teeth piece (120) formed according to the structure of teeth and manufactured with circular angle allows the ergonomic law exercise apparatus (100) to completely fit into the mouth cavity, and facilitates generation of force between the upper jaw and lower jaw during exercise. Again on the main body (110), a teeth piece positioning area (112) is created to position the teeth piece (120) and ensure that the surface of the main body (110) and the teeth piece (120) become a whole angularly in terms of geometry to complement each other. Thus, the geometry of the ergonomic jaw exercise apparatus (100) is maintained providing an aesthetic appearance.
