Abstract

The invention consists of a cordless apparatus supplying a current of low intensity and low frequencies for activating the blood circulation and the replenishment of the cells of the skin. The body of the apparatus which is held in the user's hand forms an electrode and provides for the connection of one of the current phases of very low intensity and propagates it through the body, the second electrode consisting of an independent probe bringing the second phase to the surface of the skin. A micro-massage is thus produced, activating the blood circulation. This apparatus, which forms the subject matter of the invention, is intended in particular for persons who wish to treat their skin and cause creams, essential oils, various products etc. to penetrate into the skin. It stimulates the dermis and the epidermis as a result of its frequency generator, and the disappearance of wrinkles, spots and cellulite constitutes the fundamental quality of this apparatus.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un appareil générateur de fréquences électriques physiologiquement étudiées, programmées et utilisées pour pratiquer un micro-massage de la peau et régénérer les cellules. Il produit un courant alternatif de quelques millionièmes d'ampéres d'intensité.DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating electrical frequencies physiologically studied, programmed and used to practice micro-massage of the skin and regenerate cells. It produces an alternating current of a few millionths of amperes of intensity.

Par cette qualité, les rides vont s'atténuer, les pores de la peau se ressérer, les produits, crèmes et huiles essentielles pénétreront plus profondement décuplant leurs actions.By this quality, wrinkles will be reduced, skin pores will be tightened, products, creams and essential oils will penetrate their actions more deeply.

La couperose qui est un défaut de circulation du sang disparaît après quelques séances.Rosacea which is a defect in blood circulation disappears after a few sessions.

La cellulite avec le micro-massage autonome que cette invention procure disparaîtra également.The cellulite with the autonomous micro-massage that this invention provides will also disappear.

Actuellement, des appareils très complexes et d'un prix très élevé sont utilisés dans les Instituts de Beauté et les électrodes sont appliquées en surface de peau uniquement. Ces appareils sont alimentés sur le secteur. Currently, very complex and very expensive devices are used in Beauty Salons and the electrodes are applied to the skin surface only. These devices are powered from the mains.

L'appareil objet de l'invention se tient dans la main de l'utilisateur, le boîtier de l'appareil formant une électrode, l'autre électrode est une pointe ou autre adaptation (FIG. 2) qui est appliquée de la même main sur n'importe quel endroit de la peau de l'utilisateur, ce qui ferme le circuit, le derme et l'épiderme sont donc activés et micro-massés. The device object of the invention is held in the hand of the user, the housing of the device forming an electrode, the other electrode is a tip or other adaptation (FIG. 2) which is applied with the same hand anywhere on the user's skin, which closes the circuit, the dermis and epidermis are therefore activated and micro-massaged.

Ce dispositif selon l'invention permet au grand public,de pouvoir utiliser soi-même cet appareil. Il comporte, en effet, selon la Ire caractéristique (FIS. I) un boîtier en métal (2), un accumulateur (I) un oscillateur (3) une self (4), un commutateur ou potentiomètre (5) pour aboutir à la deuxième électrode (6), la masse de l'appareil est reliée au boîtier (2). This device according to the invention allows the general public to be able to use this device themselves. It comprises, in fact, according to the 1st characteristic (FIS. I) a metal case (2), an accumulator (I) an oscillator (3) a choke (4), a switch or potentiometer (5) to achieve the second electrode (6), the earth of the device is connected to the housing (2).

La figure 6 illustre l'effet sur la peau (I7) la première électrode (I8) et-la deuxième électrode (I9). FIG. 6 illustrates the effect on the skin (I7) of the first electrode (I8) and the second electrode (I9).

La figure 2 met en évidence les manchons pouvant s'adapter par tout moyen de fixation sur la partie (6) de l'appareil principal soit un manchon convexe (7), un manchon tubulaire (8), une bille (9). FIG. 2 highlights the sleeves which can be adapted by any means of attachment to the part (6) of the main appliance, either a convex sleeve (7), a tubular sleeve (8), a ball (9).

Il est également possible avec un quartz d'utiliser les fréquences pour l'alimenter et obtenir un massage mécanique en surface (FIG. 3). It is also possible with a quartz to use the frequencies to feed it and obtain a mechanical massage on the surface (FIG. 3).

Un réservoir délivrant une crème ou une huile quelconque (FIG. 5) peut également s'adapter dans le boîtier et être distribué par le centre capillaire de la partie (6). A reservoir delivering any cream or oil (FIG. 5) can also fit in the housing and be distributed by the capillary center of the part (6).

Le courant peut être également amené en surface de la peau en utilisant le principe de la FIG. 4 qui consiste a avoir une des phases sur une partie centrale (I2), un isolant (13) et l'autre phase sur le tube (I4). Current can also be brought to the surface of the skin using the principle of FIG. 4 which consists in having one of the phases on a central part (I2), an insulator (13) and the other phase on the tube (I4).

L'appareil peut être également indépendant des deux électrodes (21) le commutateur (20) étant sur un boîtier quelconque et l'appareil étant toujours alimenter par batterie (FIG. 7). The device can also be independent of the two electrodes (21), the switch (20) being on any housing and the device being always supplied by battery (FIG. 7).

Si le boîtier de l'appareil est en matière isolante, le contact corporel pourra se faire tel qu'il est démontré à la FIG. 8 et FIG. 9 par des touches métalliques (22) où les fréquences sont sous tension en permanence ou par des boutons poussoir metallique (23). Ces boutons poussoir formant le contact de fréquence et passent par l'intermédiaire du doigt de l'utilisateur. Dans le cas d'un boîtier tubulaire en matière isolante (25), une couronne metallique (26) permettra la conduite du courant.If the housing of the device is made of insulating material, bodily contact can be made as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 by metallic keys (22) where the frequencies are permanently on or by metallic push buttons (23). These push buttons form the frequency contact and pass through the finger of the user. In the case of a tubular housing made of insulating material (25), a metal ring (26) will allow current to be conducted.

Il est également possible de dissossier l'électronique de la sonde, mais en gardant toujours le principe fondamental de l'invention la masse électrode à travers le corps, la deuxième électrode sur la peau, les fils des deux électrodes sont donc amenés sur le manche metallique de la sonde (FIG. IO) la masse (28), et la seconde électrode (29) qui se termine comme pour l'appareil principal en (6) avec un tube isolant séparant les électrodes sur la sonde. It is also possible to dissolve the electronics of the probe, but always keeping the fundamental principle of the invention the electrode mass through the body, the second electrode on the skin, the wires of the two electrodes are therefore brought to the handle metal of the probe (FIG. 10) the ground (28), and the second electrode (29) which ends as for the main apparatus in (6) with an insulating tube separating the electrodes on the probe.

Cet ensemble électronique selon l'invention est destiné à l'amélioration du métabolisma cellulaire par stimulation des défenses naturelles de l'organisme. This electronic assembly according to the invention is intended for the improvement of cellular metabolism by stimulation of the body's natural defenses.
