STRUCTURE FOR INCREASING HOLDING FORCE OF NOSE SHAPE-CORRECTING DEVICE WITH PLASTICITY

摘要

[PROBLEMS] In conventional nose shape correcting devices of a type holding user's nose, the fact that even the same person has varying shapes and spread widths of the nose wings depending on temperature and user's physical conditions is almost disregarded and not affected to the devices. Also, plastic, highly flexible, thin, continuous, sheet-like nose-correcting devices has weak holding force. Therefore, a problem that still has to be solved is to increase holding force of such a device without reducing plasticity and flexibility. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The continuous, plastic, nose shape-correcting device of a type of holding user's nose is constructed such that the plasticity of a cushioning material of a portion that is located on the inner side of a device body center portion and has a smaller width than the nose tip is set lower than that of other portions and that, when the device is not compressed and not rolled, the device body center portion has a mountain-like shape with both ends of the portion in parallel with each other and forms, integrally with the device body, support points of both side sections.
