Wyoming Patent of the Month – September 2024

Imagine a world where every night’s sleep is perfectly tailored to your senses. Manta Sleep’s groundbreaking invention transforms this vision into reality with its revolutionary eye mask featuring movable speakers. Unlike traditional sleep masks, which merely block out light, this advanced design integrates cutting-edge audio technology to deliver an immersive sleep experience.  

The mask combines comfort, functionality, and precision with its adjustable speaker assemblies. Housed within dedicated inner spaces, the speakers can slide to align perfectly with your ears, regardless of head size or shape. This ensures optimal audio delivery—be it soothing white noise, calming melodies, or your favorite podcast—while blocking out environmental distractions. The design eliminates the frustration of mismatched speakers and ears, a common issue with fixed-structure masks.  

What sets this invention apart is its attention to the finer details of usability. Thoughtfully placed slots allow seamless adjustments without compromising the sleek design, while the durable construction prevents unnecessary wear. The innovative use of private sound zones within the mask transforms it into more than just a sleep aid; it’s a personalized audio sanctuary.  

Manta Sleep’s creation marks a significant leap in sleep technology. By integrating dynamic audio placement into a wearable device, the mask not only addresses light sensitivity but also combats the chaos of external noise. It’s an elegant solution for the modern sleeper, blending comfort, convenience, and cutting-edge tech to redefine what it means to rest well.
