Description

The description of the invention as proposed by patent for an Industrial Invention is given below.

The title of the invention in question is:

Three-function medical equipment:

massaging and / or vibrating and / or magnetotherapy. For use by healthcare professionals and for personal use.

SUMMARY

Medical equipment for use by healthcare professionals for personal use has three beneficial actions on the human body: massage and / or vibrating and / or magnetotherapy with flux density enhanced by a rotating and / or vibrating action of the magnets. It can be activated in various combinations, the equipment is operated by means of a special handle.

It consists of an enclosure where the following are housed inside:

rotating magnetic rollers, to enhance the magnetotherapy effect

vibrating effect devices. Both for direct stimulation and to enhance the magnetotherapy effect. an interchangeable base, which houses elements for massaging use of the equipment.

CURRENT STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

Various techniques and tools are used to stimulate the tissues and cells of the human body. Massaging or vibrating tools are frequently used. Some of these tools combine the two functions into one tool. Another widely used technique is magnetotherapy.

Magnetotherapy is a therapy that uses equipment generating low intensity and variable frequency magnetic fields.

Since the end of the nineteenth century, but especially in the twentieth century, numerous clinical-therapeutic researches have been conducted to scientifically study the possible effects of magnetic fields on living beings.

Currently, modern magnetotherapy has been recognized nationally as a therapy in the field of homeopathy and allopathy.

At a physiological level, magnetotherapy acts at the cellular level by repolarizing the cells and rebalancing the permeability of the cell membrane, i.e. the functions of the cell are improved following an increased use of oxygen.

This effect can be used for multiple therapeutic purposes:

1) inflammatory disorders;

2) joint disorders;

3) recent trauma;

4) repair of all types of ulcers;

5) rheumatic diseases;

6) treatment of fractures;

7) difficulty in walking;

8) pathologies of the elderly, regenerating cells.

This therapy is applied by bringing parts of the body closer to the sphere of action of the magnetic field of the magnets.

The magnetic lines of influence thus cross the parts in depth, influencing the ions inside the cell. The result is an increase in the biological activity of the treated part, with a consequent beneficial effect.

Recent scientific discoveries have shown that by subjecting a magnet to vibration and / or rotation, the power of the magnetic flux and its radius of action increase as a function of the speed of rotation, and as a function of the power of the vibration of the magnet itself.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FOUND

Medical equipment for use by healthcare professionals for personal use, subject to application for an Industrial Patent; it was designed to perform three beneficial actions on the human body.

These actions can be applied individually totally; or in various combinations. These three beneficial actions are:

A) vibrant

B) magnetotherapy, with the possibility of enhancing the effect by means of rotation and / or vibration of the magnets.

C) massage it

The various devices needed to activate the three functions are housed in an A-DIS.l enclosure.

The electricity required is supplied by the E-DIS.l rechargeable battery, or directly from the mains.

The devices that give the equipment the vibrating effect, normally an electric motor connected to an eccentric, are housed in the D-DIS compartments. 1.

The magnetotherapeutic effect is given by the C-DIS.l magnets; while the rotation, which aims to enhance the effect, is provided by an electric motor, applied individually to the magnets; or rotated by means of a gear. Each magnet is separated laterally from the others by means of a separation of shielding material.

The massaging effect is given by means of the G-DIS.l massaging elements, of various shapes, of various various rotating or fixed materials, to meet different needs.

The massaging elements are housed in the F-DIS.l base, which is interchangeable and applicable to the equipment by means of the H-DIS.l snap-on devices.

As an example: FIG.1-DIS.2, represents an interchangeable base that houses spherical massaging elements suitable for a "general" massage.

By way of example: FIG.2-DIS.2, represents an interchangeable base that houses massaging elements composed of small spheres suitable for the massaging treatment of cellulite.

Other bases can accommodate massaging elements of various shapes, of various materials, of various numbers, rotating and fixed, suitable for both the needs of the masseur and the needs of the part to be treated.

The equipment, by means of special switches, offers the possibility of activating the three functions in various combinations: magnetotherapy only; magnetotherapy plus vibration; vibration with massage; etc. . . .

Furthermore, the power and speed of the vibration and rotation can be varied by means of regulators, according to the needs of the magnetotherapy treatment; or according to the needs of the individual treatment, massage.

When you want to exclude the magnetotherapeutic effect from a single treatment, simply remove the C-DIS.l magnets from the equipment; or it is planned to activate a special shielding.

To apply the massaging effect: the operator maneuvers the equipment by means of an interchangeable B-DIS handle. 1, of various shapes, of various sizes and of various materials depending on the operator's needs.

By way of example: in DIS.l-B, a classic handle is represented, which has protuberances on the entire surface which, in addition to favoring their grip, transmit a massaging action to the operator's hand.

Having the need to treat a larger body surface, for each single action of the treatment; multiple devices can be joined together by means of special connections. In this case the equipment will be maneuvered by means of a single, specific handle.

When you want to use this medical equipment, only the magnetic and / or vibrating effect: it can be applied to various parts of the body by means of special straps. This application allows medical use of the equipment regardless of the action of the operator.
