Benefits of technology

The patent describes a toy that uses harmonized liquid and noise to enhance brain wave stimulation and promote brain activity during use. This enhancement can lead to improved sensory experiences for users and may offer therapeutic benefits. The toy is safe and uses a small amount of essential oil, which is absorbed by the noise maker and remains strong in odor. Additionally, a carrier may be used to increase the longevity of the odor producing material.

Problems solved by technology

When activated by compression (such as by pressing, grasping, squeezing, chewing, biting, etc.) the device simultaneously produces noise and releases the odor of the odor producing material.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]Referring initially to FIGS. 1-6, there are illustrated various views of a device which uses air to produce olfactory auditory convergence, the device generally designated as 20. FIGS. 7-8 are side elevation and cross sectional views respectively of device 20 being compressed. Device 20 includes a compressible body 22 which has an internal cavity 24 which contains the air 500 (refer to FIG. 8). A noise making mechanism 26 is connected to compressible body 22. Noise making mechanism 26 is valve which allows air 500 to pass into and out of the compressible body 22. Noise is created when air 500 passes out of compressible body 22 through noise making mechanism 26 as is depicted in FIGS. 7 and 8. In an embodiment, compressible body 22 and noise making mechanism 28 combine to form a conventional noise maker, which is known in the art and which is used in toys and novelty items. Noise making mechanisms 28 can emit noise at various frequencies. For example, noise making mechanism 28 ...

Abstract

A device which uses air to produce olfactory auditory convergence includes a compressible body which has an internal cavity which contains the air. A noise making mechanism is connected to the compressible body. An odor producing material is disposed within the internal cavity. When the compressible body is compressed, the air is expelled from the internal cavity and passes through the noise making mechanism causing it to make noise, the expelled air contains an odor from the odor producing material. In an embodiment, the device is connected to a target article such as a toy.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the filing benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 855,913, filed May 28, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention pertains generally to olfactory auditory convergence, and more particularly to a device which produces same.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Olfactory auditory convergence is the perceptual interplay between olfactory (smell) and auditory (sound) stimuli. The neural mechanisms relating to smelling and hearing at the same time is a perception or sense experience created from the convergence of sounds and smells in the brain. Simultaneous smell and sound stimuli can be used to create a desired interplay.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]The present invention is directed to a device which uses air to produce olfactory auditory convergence. The device consists of noise maker, such as used in toys, which has an odor producing ...
