<p>A device for preventing snoring of a sleeping person comprises an arrangement (5-9) for detecting snoring sounds and an apparatus (17) controlled by this arrangement and adapted to influence said person to stop possible snoring, said arrangement having sound-receiving means, preferably a microphone (5) and at least one frequency filter (6, 8), arranged to deliver signals deriving from sounds with frequencies typical for snoring sounds in order to determine if the present sound derives from snorings. In this device said arrangement further comprises means (10-14) for determining if the signals delivered by the sound-receiving means are periodically appearing with time intervals, which are typical for snorings. Said means comprises a counter (13) which is arranged to count the number of snorings. The arrangement (5-14) of the device is adapted to send activating control pulses to said apparatus when the counter (13) has detected a predetermined number of successive snorings with said time intervals.</p> |
