Details
Inventors: Greene, deceased, Herbert;
Assignee: Richard McLaughlin (Chappaqua, NY)
Primary Examiner: Burr; Edgar S.
Assistant Examiner: Cohen; Moshe I.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Baxley; Charles E.

The voice improving device comprises a means which generally takes the form of a soft glove-like arrangement which is mounted to depress an individual's diaphragm in a range of one to twelve and one half taps per second. Also support means which can take the form of a table may serve as a mount for the soft glove-like means which can be disposed horizontally or inclined upwardly towards the diaphragm or decline downwardly towards the diaphragm in order to depress it. The soft glove-like means may be reciprocated, via moving means which can take the form of a blower or motor connected to the glove-like means, to depress the diaphragm in a range between one to twelve and one half times a second, preferably this range would fall in the 3.5 to 10 times per second category.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A voice improving device comprising support means, a soft glove-like means for gently depressing the diaphragm connected to the support means so that the soft glove-like means can be positioned in an optimum location relative to the diaphragm to depress said diaphragm and means for moving the soft glove-like means and connected thereto so that said soft glove-like means depresses the diaphragm over a range of five to ten times a second.
2.
A voice improving device of claim 1 wherein said support means is adjustable and said soft glove-like means is mounted on the support means so that said soft glove-like means can be positioned in an optimum location relative to the diaphragm to depress said diaphragm.
3.
The voice improving device of claim 2 wherein said adjustable support means includes moving means for reciprocating the soft glove-like means to depress the diaphragm.
4.
The device of claim 3 including a holding-like arrangement mounted on the support means so that the user may optimize the positioning of the soft glove-like means relative to the diaphragm.
5.
A method of improving the voice comprising positioning a soft glove-like means so that it may depress the diaphragm, reciprocating the soft glove-like means so that it depresses the diaphragm at a rate of from five to ten times per second.




Description:
This invention relates to voice improving devices and more particularly to an arrangement which has a softly covered arm positioned to depress the diaphragm and includes a member to move this softly covered arm to tap or depress the diaphragm at a predetermined rate.
The end result is an increase in the vibrato range of tones to provide a fuller, richer, deeper more textured sound to the voice.
Other objects of the invention, as well as the advantages and novel features thereof will become apparent from a perusal of the following description when read in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG.
1 is a diagrammatic plan view of the voice improving device constructed in accordance with the invention
