Thermotherapeutic Device
[Category : - HEALTH]
[Viewed 33 times]
The product could become a hit and be the most important product of your company.
You could be the first to start making a shoe-shaped rubber thermophores or plastic (softened plastic) or silicone thermophores.
I made a prototype and found that it is the best for warming up the body and people will love it. Because it surrounds the leg, it is enough to fill it with water at a temperature of 50C and in a few minutes the cold feet syndrome is gone.
A few years ago, I realized that this type of product was missing on the world and European markets, because I personally needed it. I invented how it should look, described its properties and registered this utility model in several European countries (PL, SK, CZ, AT, FR, DE).
• In addition, your company could receive European subsidies for machinery and equipment, for the completion of a new technology for the production of a new product, and for remuneration for licensors.
Thermotherapeutic Device
Field of Technology
The invention falls within the scope of healthcare and applies to a thermotherapeutic device.
State-of-the-Art
To treat the “cold limb syndrome” and to heat the body, as well as to prevent colds, or as a means to release stress or to relax the body, the most frequently used means currently include electric heaters and blankets, hot water bottles and wellness products, and sometimes containers filled with water. However, electric heaters and blankets need a power supply either from the mains, which may not always be available, or from batteries, which may somewhat complicate handling, including when their power level needs to be checked. Electrical equipment may also present risks due to ageing and degradation of the electrical wiring insulation and the follow-up hazard of a short circuit or electric shock. Furthermore, its use can be problematic in humid or outright wet environments, which also pose a risk of electric shock. Electric blankets are designed to be wrapped around a limb and fixed. As for the use of hot water bottles, this is somewhat inconvenient because of their non-anatomical shape, so they the limb only with one of their surfaces. Finally, wellness products and other water baths require handling heated water, with a risk of spillage and slipping on the wet floor. Water is also in direct contact with the skin of the limb, which may often be undesirable, or it is subsequently necessary to dry the limb. File CN2734187 describes a shoe-shaped electric foot heater which must be connected to the mains and in which only the inner part of the sole is heated. As such, it does not facilitate heating of the limb over its entire surface. File CN87205736 introduces a multi-purpose shoe-shaped hot water bottle, which is intended for drying and warming the inside of shoes or socks, and so is unsuitable for actual direct thermotherapy. File CN105496633 presents an electrically heated foot bath for pedicure purposes with a constant water temperature maintained by a thermostat. The device must be connected to the mains and the foot is directly immersed in the water bath. A shoe-shaped electric foot heater with connection to the mains also is described in file CN201624978. A similar device in which an electromagnetic heater is additionally integrated into the water bag heated by the heater, with controllable temperature, is presented in the file CN205548788. File JPH10229996, in turn, introduces a foot heater in the form of a double-walled container with an inner space designed to accommodate the shape of the foot, with the space between the two walls being filled with hot water, and with a sealable refilling cap. This heater is made of solid non-elastic material and is intended solely for installation on the ground, and so can only be used while sitting. File JP2007268230 describes a shoe with a double shell that is designed to be filled with either heating or cooling liquid. The double shell includes reinforcements against deformation and trampling and is also meant for walking. This complicates the double shell design and the reinforcements also add to its weight.
The aim of the present invention is to present a thermotherapeutic device in the form of a sleeve enclosing the feet, with the possibility of both heating and cooling, which uses a liquid medium without the need of connection to a power supply, and is usable with lower limbs in various positions.
Principle of the Invention
The stated aim is achieved by means of an invention consisting of a thermotherapeutic device in the form of a shoe-shaped shell with at least one inner cavity open to the outside with a slip-on opening framed around its circumference by a rim. The principle of the invention is a shell consisting of an outer wall and an inner wall, with a thermoactive chamber in between, with both the outer wall and the inner wall made of a flexible, pliable, waterproof and thermally stable material. The upper part of the shell’s rim is shaped into a filling neck with a filling opening, which connects the thermoactive chamber to the outside and is sealable with a cap.
The convenient design includes the filling opening transitioning into a filling cavity, which connects to the thermoactive chamber.
It is further convenient for the filling opening to be provided with a filling funnel.
The presented invention achieves a novel and better effect in that it is fully functional without the need to be connected to a power supply, is anatomically shaped for the given part of the body, and can be used in different body positions. It can also be used for relaxation purposes or to relax the body, with a positive effect also on the user’s state of mind.
