The magnetic therapeutic apparatus comprises a plurality of
;I
5 cases 1 containing magnetic generators 2 in their inner hollow portion respectively and being connected pivotally to each other in a line, and connecting members 11 and 12 such as a belt which can be connected to each other are attached to cases la and Ib located on both ends respectively. The magnetic field generator 2 in each case 1 is, as shown in Fig 4, constituted by engaging bobbins 22 respectively on respective leg portions of a U-shaped iron core 21 and winding coils 23 wound around the respective peripheries of bobbins 22. The magnetic field generators 2 are connected electrically by led wires 24, and when each coil 23 is energized through the lead wires 24, each magnetic field generator 2 generates alternating magnetic fields.
Each case 1 is formed by facing each opening of a pair of partial cases 10, 10 and fixing them in some positions with screws. On each case 1, a hollow protrusion 7 is formed integrally at the centre of one side edge and hollow protrusions 8A and 8B are formed on the upper and lower end portions respectively of the other side edge.
Pivots 13 protruding vertically are formed on the top and bottom of protrusion 7 of the centre portion, and bearing holes 14, 14 are provided on the protrusions 8A and 8B of "o the upper and lower end portions at positions opposing to 25 the positions of pivots 13. The pivots 13 are supported by the corresponding bearing holes 14 of the adjacent case I to constitute a hinge mechanism Inside the pivots 13 and on the bottom of the .bearing holes 14, guide holes 16a and 16b which lead to the 00 30 protrusions 8A and 8B and the protrusion 7 respectively as well as leading to each other are formed in correspondence to the centre of the pivoting position, and the lead wires 0"0 24 connecting between adjacent magnetic field generators 2, 2 in adjacent cases 1, 1 extend through the guide holes 16a and 16b.
stalh/idkep/pal57577.94 17.5.95 I rr 6 The above-mentioned case 1 is formed by joining two half cases 10, 10 in opposing face to face relationship so that the bearing holes 14 and the pivots 13 are formed about a central axis. At proper locations of the facing end portion of each partial case 10, protrusions 17 and depressions 18 are formed so that when the partial cases 10 are united in face to face relationship the protrusions 17 and the depressions 18 are engaged to the opposing depressions 18 and the protrusions 17. In Fig. 2, numeral 19 designates a contact portion which is disposed on the connecting portion of the case 1 for limiting rotation of the cases.
When using the magnetic therapeutic apparatus, as shown in Fig. 5, first, the magnetic therapeutic apparatus is mounted and fixed to affected parts 3 of stiffness and pains of the body in a manner surrounding the body. Then, when a timer 26 is set and a power switch 27 is turned on, the coil 23 of each magnetic field generator 2 is energized and superposed magnetic flux produced by the coils 23 acts on the affected parts 3 of the body from end faces of the leg portions of the iron core 21, thereby a certain therapeutic effect can be obtained, When winding the magnetic therapeutic apparatus around the body, the hinge mechanism 15 of the case 1 is rotated, but the lead wire 24 25 is never pulled nor bent, nor its surface rubbed by the hinge mechanism 15 since the lead wire 24 is extended internally through the guide holes 16a and 16b on the pivoting centre line of the hinge mechanism. Also, since the lead wire 24 is not exposed to the outside of the case 30 1, it is not adversely affected by any external factor and is completely protected.
