Nose plug

1. A nose plug ( 1 ) comprising:

a rigid, elongated support member ( 3 ); and

a flexible member ( 2 ) adapted to be placed within a nostril to accurately fill an opening of the nostril, wherein the flexible member ( 2 ) comprises

i) parallel plates ( 4 ) surrounding the rigid, elongated support member ( 3 ) and defining an extended serpentine air path and wherein the parallel plates ( 4 ) are adapted to guide air entering the nostril along the extended serpentine air path,

wherein the flexible member ( 2 ) comprises four to twelve of said parallel plates ( 4 ), the parallel plates ( 4 ) arranged along the rigid, elongated support member ( 3 ) and where each of the parallel plates ( 4 ) extends in a direction perpendicular to an extension of the rigid, elongated support member ( 3 ), and

wherein each of the parallel plates ( 4 ) has one recess at a periphery thereof, and each said recess is arranged to not overlap a corresponding said recess in a previous one of the parallel plates ( 4 ) or a subsequent one of the parallel plates ( 4 ), and each parallel plate ( 4 ) is adapted to guide the air entering the nostril from a lower side of each parallel plate ( 4 ) to an upper side of each parallel plate ( 4 ) by each said one recess providing an air pathway across each corresponding parallel plate ( 4 ).

2. The nose plug ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the nose plug ( 1 ) carries a releasable substance dispersed in a material of the flexible member ( 2 ) or arranged on a surface of the flexible member ( 2 ).

3. The nose plug ( 1 ) according to claim 2 , wherein the releasable substance is a fragrance.

4. The nose plug ( 1 )according to claim 2 , wherein the releasable substance is a medicine.

5. The nose plug ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the parallel plates ( 4 ) have a rounded shape.

6. The nose plug ( 1 )according to claim 5 , wherein the parallel plates ( 4 ) have differently sized peripheries, in order to adapt the nose plug ( 1 ) to a shape of an inside of a nostril.

7. The nose plug ( 1 ) according to claim 5 , wherein a first set of said recesses is arranged on every second one of the parallel plates ( 4 ) at a position at a periphery of a first end of a transverse diameter and a second set of said recesses are arranged on every parallel plate there between at a periphery at an opposite, second end of the transverse diameter.

8. The nose plug ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible member ( 2 ) defines a filter adapted to hinder particles from entering the nostril and being dispersed in other organs.

9. The nose plug ( 1 ) according to claim 8 , wherein a surface of the flexible member ( 2 ) is adapted to efficiently hinder particles from being further dispersed.

10. The nose plug ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the parallel plates ( 4 ) have differently sized peripheries, in order to adapt the nose plug ( 1 ) to a shape of an inside of a nostril.

11. The nose plug ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein a first set of said recesses is arranged on every second one of the parallel plates ( 4 ) on a position at a periphery at a first end of a transverse diameter and a second set of said recesses are arranged on every parallel plate there between at a periphery at an opposite, second end of the transverse diameter.

12. The nose plug ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible member ( 2 ) and the rigid, elongated support member ( 3 ) are permanently fixed to each other.

13. The nose plug ( 1 ) according to claim 1 further comprising two of said flexible member ( 2 ) connected to each other by a U-shaped support member, each of said two flexible members ( 2 ) being attached at one leg of said U-shaped support member.
