い。However, the above-mentioned balloon 51 requires a very strong force when breathing in for the first time, and since the blowing port is soft, it may be difficult to inflate and inflate. In addition, the balloon 51 must be held with at least one hand for the above-mentioned softness of the blowing port, and it is easy to get tired because the breathing exercise cannot be performed between one hand and another exercise or manual operation. By the way, the elderly and the children are inferior in the breathing power as compared with general adults, but the repulsion from the balloon 51 is determined to be almost constant, and the setting of the breathing power according to the age cannot be changed. In addition, balloon 51
Because swelling is large in front of the face, a large group needs a large space to perform breathing exercises so as not to disturb the neighbors. Then, the saliva that has entered the balloon 51 can be seen through from the outside, giving a sense of uncleanness and making it difficult to use at the next use. In addition, since the balloon 51 is easily broken, the balloon 51 often becomes unusable after repeated movements.

The valve mounting hole 9 is arranged in parallel with the blow-out air passage 7 and has a female screw portion 14 on the inner peripheral surface. In the valve mounting hole 9, a valve body 15 made of a steel ball which can be in close contact with the valve seat 5 a which is a peripheral portion of the valve seat hole 6 and opens and closes the valve seat hole 6, and the valve body 15 faces the valve seat hole 6 There is provided a biasing means 16 for elastically biasing the spring, and a spring receiving member 10 having an external thread portion 13 on the outer periphery which is screwed with the female thread portion 14. A screwdriver groove 11 into which the tip of a screwdriver or the like is inserted is formed in the front surface of the spring receiving member 10. The urging means 16 uses, for example, a coil spring here. Incidentally, for example, the main body case 2 and the spring receiving member 1
Numeral 0 is molded using a thermosetting resin such as a phenol resin as a raw material, and the valve body 15 and the urging means 16 are made of steel. That is, in this breath blowing exerciser 1, all the components are made of a heat-resistant material that can withstand the boiling temperature such as boiling water.

Will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. First, prior to the movement, a flathead screwdriver or the like is inserted into the screwdriver groove 11 and the spring receiving member 10 is turned to adjust the elastic urging force of the urging means 16 as desired. Next, the user closes the blowing port 4 side of the main body case 2. At this time, the holding projection 12 is lightly bitten by the upper and lower teeth. Therefore, when the breath is strongly blown into the blowing air passage 3 from the blowing port 4, the pressure in the blowing air passage 3 increases. Then, when the blowing pressure in the blowing air passage 3 exceeds the elastic urging force of the urging means 16, the valve body 15 is moved to the valve seat 5a.
And is pushed back forward as indicated by an arrow 17 to open the valve seat hole 6. As a result, the air in the blowing air passage 3 passes through the valve seat hole 6 and is blown out from the outlet 8 through the blowing air passage 7 as indicated by an arrow 18. By using the breathing exerciser 1 as described above, the exercise can be continued as long as the breath continues without fear of rupture like a balloon. When the blowing is stopped halfway, the elastic urging force of the urging means 16 wins, and the valve body 15 closes the valve seat hole 6.

広いスペースを必要としない。Therefore, according to this breathing exerciser 1,
The interaction between the elasticity of the inflated cheeks and the elasticity of the biasing means 16 allows the breathing motion to be performed as if blowing a balloon. In addition, since the vicinity of the blow-in port 4 is the rigid main body case 2 and the diameter thereof is not reduced, it is possible to blow a breath. At this time, if the holding projection 12 is lightly chewed and locked to the teeth, it is not necessary to hold the main body case 2 by hand. Therefore, breathing exercises can be performed between other exercises or one hand of a manual operation, and the exercises can be performed easily, so that the user does not get bored. During a series of breathing exercises from the start of breathing to the end of breathlessness, breathing can be performed at a constant pressure determined by the elastic urging force of the urging means 16. Of course, it is also possible to change the blowing pressure by adjusting the rotation of the spring receiving member 10. Incidentally, although the elderly and children have a difference in physical strength compared to ordinary adults and have a low breath blowing force, the blowing pressure can be easily adjusted by changing the elastic biasing force of the biasing means 16. The breathing exerciser 1 is compact, for example, in a size that fits in the palm, and does not bulge or bulk during the breathing motion.
Therefore, a large space is not required even when a large number of groups perform breath-in training.

し使用したとしても破損せず耐久性が高い。After the predetermined exercise is completed, the saliva can be discharged from the air inlet 4 or the air outlet 8 by simply holding the main body case 2 by hand and shaking it quickly, and the user can easily clear the saliva. In addition, in consideration of hygiene, if the breathing exerciser 1 is put into boiling water and boiled before cleaning, the inside and outside of the case are sterilized and disinfected. Even in such a case, the components of the breathing exerciser 1 endure boiling and do not deteriorate or deform, and are not damaged even when used repeatedly, and have high durability.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. The upper and lower surfaces or the left and right side surfaces of the case 2 may be used. If boiling disinfection is not considered, for example, components formed of a thermoplastic resin can be used as the main body case, the valve body, the spring receiving member, and the like, and in that case, they are provided at low cost. Further, the urging means is not limited to the above-described coil spring, and for example, a leaf spring, a torsion spring, a rubber plate, a rubber string, or the like can be used.

Because it is open, useful breathing exercises can be easily performed anytime and anywhere without getting tired. This allows
The muscles and abdominal muscles around the diaphragm are naturally trained, and the fat and extravagance around the waist can be removed without your knowledge, thereby improving beauty and health. In addition, the blowing pressure can be changed by adjusting the elastic biasing force of the biasing means. Once the blowing pressure is set, the blowing pressure does not change during a series of blowing operations.
