Publication number: 20240091588Abstract: A one-way breath training device has a mouth insert engaged to a cage housing a movable baffle. The mouth insert has an air hole extending from a first end to a second end. The baffle moves within the cage between a backstop having air pathways therethrough to the second end of the mouth insert. The cage has one or more guidance tracks which the baffle moves along. When a user attempts to inhale through their mouth, the inflow of air pulls the baffle against the second end and blocks the air hole to prevent further air from entering the air hole. When a user exhales through the mouth insert, the outflowing air pushes the baffle against the backstop of the cage thereby opening the air hole and air pathways for the exhaled air to escape.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Mitsuko and Masako, LLCInventors: Darrin MILLER, Brad ANDERSON
