Patent ID: 7766016

Claim:
An anti-snoring device for mounting on the teeth of a user's upper and lower jaws, said device defining a centerline and comprising: a first arcuate member having a first side and an opposite second side, said first side of said first member defining a receptacle for receiving at least a portion of the teeth of one of the user's upper or lower jaws, said second side of said first member having a first plurality of fasteners projecting outwardly therefrom, said first plurality of fasteners being formed by a plurality of elongate, parallel extending first projections defining elongate, parallel extending voids between adjacent ones of said first projections, each of said first projections extending in a direction parallel with said second side of said first member, each of said first projections having a neck portion and a retaining head wherein said retaining head is disposed distal of said neck portion and has a width greater than said neck portion; a second arcuate member having a first side and an opposite second side, said first side of said second member defining a receptacle for receiving at least a portion of the teeth of the other of the user's upper or lower jaws, said second side of said second member having a second plurality of fasteners projecting outwardly therefrom, said second plurality of fasteners being formed by a plurality of elongate, parallel extending second projections defining elongate, parallel extending voids between adjacent ones of said second projections, each of said second projections extending in a direction parallel with said second side of said second member, each of said second projections having a neck portion and a retaining head wherein said retaining head is disposed distal of said neck portion and has a width greater than said neck portion; and said first and second plurality of fasteners being selectively mutually engageable by disposing at least one of said first projections in a void defined between said second projections and disposing at least one of said second projections in a void defined between said first projections wherein mutual engagement of said first and second plurality of fasteners secures said first arcuate member relative to said second arcuate member, said first and second members being selectively securable together in a plurality of configurations defining a plurality of relative positions between the user's upper and lower jaws when said first and second members are mounted thereon.
