Patent ID: 7905899

Claim:
A nose protect which is mounted in each of nostrils to thereby reshape a nose, the nose protect comprising: a first nostril abutting portion having a first curved surface that is convex outwardly from a near end to a far end thereof, to come in surface contact with an inside region of a nasal tip in a preset range, the near end of the first curved surface being designed to be positioned nearer to an entrance of the nostril and the far end of the first curved surface being designed to be inserted farther from the entrance of the nostril; a second nostril abutting portion having a second curved surface that is convex outwardly from a near end to a far end thereof, to come in surface contact with an inside region of an ala nasi opposite to the inside region of the nasal tip in a present range, the near end of the second curved surface being designed to be positioned nearer to an entrance of the nostril and the far end of the second curved surface being designed to be inserted farther from the entrance of the nostril; and a pair of nostril abutting portion connections formed as two thin plates, respectively, with a thickness substantially smaller than each thickness of the first nostril abutting portion and the second nostril abutting portion, for facilitating elastic deformation, wherein the near end of the first curved surface of the first nostril abutting portion is provided with a knob portion that is convex along its outer surface, wherein the pair of abutting portion connections couple the first nostril abutting portion to the second nostril abutting portion such that a plate surface of one of the nostril abutting portion connections continuously extends from one side face of the first nostril abutting portion to one side face of the second nostril abutting portion and a plate surface of another of the nostril abutting portion connections continuously extends from an opposite side face of the first nostril abutting portion to an opposite side face of the second nostril abutting portion, wherein a side edge of each of the nostril abutting portion connections between the near end of the first curved surface and the near end of the second curved surface forms a flat-bottomed recess contour so that, in a state where the nose protect is mounted in the nostril with the first curved surface of the first nostril abutting portion being in surface contact with the inside region of the nasal tip and the second curved surface of the second nostril abutting portion being in surface contact with the inside region of the ala nasi, the nostril butting portion connections are elastically deformed with ease in mutually separating directions, to come in contact, in a vestibule of the nose, with a middle portion between the inside region of the nasal tip and the inside region of the ala nasi, and wherein the first nostril abutting portion, the second nostril abutting portion, and the pair of nostril abutting portion connections are integrally molded out of synthetic resin.
