Description:

Title: "TIMER WITH VIBRATORY ALARM FOR CHEWING CONTROL" DISCLOSURE OF THE PATENT The present object refers in a new and original manner to a feeding personal trainer-like system, controlling meal's times, quantity and quality of the chewing of the food, for an improvement on the metabolism and digestion. It's function will work mainly through a schedule that will alert the user through sound or vibratory alarm. The present object's goal is to notify users about it's time and quality of the chewing, controlling and orienting in a way to educate the user in it's feeding routine. Controling the meal's time, quantity and quality of the chewing, time scheduling, notifying through an sound or vibratory alarm, being also attachable to watches, cellphones, bracelets and any other object that the user has in it's body, to feel the alarm. About it's operation: first, the user defines the amount of chewing he intends to make in each food input (one spoon or fork of food...). The more chewing the better, resulting in a better digestion. This setup will be memorized by the device through the timer and will notify the user when each chewing is done. Exemplifying: The user wishes to make 50 chewings each time. Stage 1 of the setup - The user will press the Config Start Button on the timer and type the amount of chewing (50 in this case). After the 50 chewings, the time will be recorder and the user will press the button Stop. This procedure must be repeated 3 times so the timer can calculate the average time spent, since each chewing differs from one another. Stage 2 - With the data stored in the memory of the device, each time the user begins his meal, he will press the Start Meal Button that will emit a vibratory alarm determined in the stage 1, indicating that the user has chewed 50 times and may repeat the process until he is satisfied. This way, the user can chew better, extending the time of his meal and know the amount of food he ingested. Stage 3 - The user having knowledge that he

had 5 forks/spoons of food during the meal, will stablish that this amount will be reduced to 40 or increase to 60. This way, the timer can control his feeding. With all programmed and recorded, the user can establish goals about the quantity of food he ingests in a meal allowing one to, gradually, decrease the amount of food he consumes. This device does not work only as a restricter but a ansiety and feeding control. Currently, the main problem for obesity is, especially, bad feeding. Generally it is consumed an vast amount of food in a short time space, not allowing one's brain to understand the amount of food ingested. Therefore, the quantity of the food is much times bigger than the user needs, resulting in a slower digestion, since the fod wasn't completely chewed, generating more gastric juice and acids in the digestive system, which may lead to injures in the internal organs, usually refered to as gastritis and ulcer. Besides, the life on the fast lane tends to make us miss our feeding times, causing alterations in our digestive system. Therefore, establishing a meal schedule and having an ally in that matter, we can help to accelerate our metabolism, dissolving fat and distributing correctly the proteins, carbohydrates and others found in the food. With this, there is the ansiety control in the meal, with a meal schedule, which's main goal is to accelerate the metabolism, controlling the quantity of food ingested, improving the chewing of the food, for losing weight, according each individual's metabolism. Therefore, it was developed a product that due to it's easy manufacturing and practicity, it can be used with complete safety for all customers, with low COSt. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS For a better preview and undertading of the "TIIWER WITH VIBRATORY ALARM FOR CHEWING CONTROL", follows a series of illustrative drawings, where: Fig. 1 - shows a view of the programming screen of the daily meal's time of the present object;

Fig. 2 - shows a view of the programming screen in the chewing of a meal; Fig. 3 - shows a view of the screens with increasing and decreasing counts of chewing, the number of chewings, meal indicator and time; Fig. 4 - shows a perspective view of a cellphone with the present object; Fig. 5 - shows an illustrative drawing of the present object. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PATENT According to the illustrations and it's details, the "TIMER WITH VIBRATORY ALARM FOR CHEWING CONTROL", the present object, is characterized by a time control device, quantity of chewing and food ingested during a meal (1), with the time scheduling through a timer (2), with a sound or vibratory alarm (3), attachable to bracelets, watches, cellphones or any other object (4) that user has in his body (4A), having a Config Start Button (5) for typing the quantity of chewing, the corresponding screen (5A), where the configuration will be stored in the memory (6); a Stop Button (7) for stopping the recording; a Start Meal Button (8) that initiates the counting of the chewings, showing in the screen (8A) emitiπg vibratory alert in the determined time, indicating the quantity chewed possessing, yet, a visor (9) where the screens shows, where it can be programmed meals A to F (10) with it's respective times (11 ).
