  • Patent number: 5816241
    Abstract: A removable device inserted into the nose which is designed to improve quality of sleep by increasing air-flow volume to lungs and to provide relief from snoring caused by insufficient air and mouth breathing. Triangular in shape with an open-ended base, the device has a tipped vertex and two cone-shaped, spiral coils positioned sideways at the open end of each side, one for each nostril. The device is adjustable by narrowing or widening the span between the coils, by shortening or lengthening the device by rolling or unrolling coils, by changing the direction or slant of the coil to accommodate the configuration of the nostril--which can be moved either from the top of the coil and/or from the bottom of the coil, and by adjusting the depth of the coil by increasing or decreasing the space between the spirals of each coil.
