     Ultraschall-Bestrahlungsvorrichtung   
Zur Einstrahlung von   Ultrasehall    in belie  bige    Körper, insbesondere für medizinische Zwecke, wurde bisher der in Form eines Handgriffes ausgebildete   Ultraschallstrahler    in Form einer Streichmassage über die zu behandelnde Körperpartie hinweggeführt. Dieses Vorgehen ist sehr zeitraubend und mühsam, da der Arzt oder die-Hilfskraft während der gesamten Behandlungsdauer manuell beschäftigt ist. Aus diesem Grunde ist auch vorgeschlagen worden, den als Handgriff ausgebildeten   Behandlungskopf    mit einem Stativ    zu fixieren und an der zu behandelnden : Sör-      perpartie    anzusetzen.

   Dieses Verfahren hat sich ebenfalls nicht durchsetzen können, da geringste Bewegungen des Patienten den Schall übergang bereits stören und ausserdem bei der Einstrahlung mit ruhendem   Behandlnngskopf    der jeweils erfasste Bezirk wesentlich kleiner ist als bei Einstrahlung mit bewegtem Behand  lungskopf.   



   Diese   überstände    werden bei der   Vorrieh-    tung nach der Erfindung dadurch vermieden, dass an einer   Saugvorrichtlmg    mehrere Arme angeordnet sind, an welchen leicht drehbar und verschiebbar   Ultraschalistrahler    angeordnet sind.   



   Fig'. 1 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel der    Vorrichtung. Bei 1 erkennen wir den   Körper,    welcher bestrahlt werden soll, beispielsweise den menschlichen   Körper.    2 ist ein handels üblicher Gummisauger, 3 ein luftdicht in ihn eingeführtes Rohr, auf welches der Gummiball 4 aufgesteckt ist. Mit 5 sind Blattfedern bezeichnet, welche mit gewisser Reibung   um    das Rohr 3 herum drehbar angeordnet sind.



  An ihnen befinden sich die Arme 6, auf welchen in Längsrichtung verschiebbar und mit einem einzigen Griff fixierbar, die Gelenke 7 angeordnet sind, welche die Arme 6 mit den Stäben 8 zusammenhalten und sie in jeder gewünschten Richtung gegeneinander festzulegen gestatten. An den Stäben 8 sind in einer Richtung wirksame oder auch kardanisch ausgebildete Gabeln 9 angebracht, welche dafür sorgen, dass sich der betreffende Ultraschallstrahler jeweils der Neigung der   Körper-    oberfläche selbsttätig anpasst. Mit 10 sind die flachgebauten Ultraschallstrahler bezeichnet. deren Durchmesser möglichst grösser als ihre Dicke sein soll, und mit 11 ihre Zuführungskabel.

   Im Gummisauger 2 sind   Mittel    12 angebracht, welche bei sehr weicher Haut ein völliges Hineinsaugen der Haut bis an die   Mündung    des Rohres 3 verhindern, um ein Nachlassen der Saugkraft zu vermeiden. Diese Mittel können aus einem Rippenprofil, einem eingelegten Drahtnetz oder anderem mehr be stehen, welche ein luftdichtes Anlegen der Haut an die Innenfläche des   Gnmmisaugers    2 verhindern.



   Die   Vorrichtimg    wird mit   zusamuienge-    drücktem Ball 4 auf der betreffenden Körperpartie aufgesetzt, wobei nach dem Loslassen des Balles der notwendige Unterdruck zum hinreichend festen Ansaugen der Vorrichtung  selbsttätig entsteht. Hierauf werden die um das Rohr 3 drehbaren Arme 6 in die gewünschten Richtungen ausgefahren und durch Lösen der   Gelenkschrauben    7 die Stäbe 8 so weit nach unten gedrückt, dass die Strahler 10 mittels der Kardanaufhängung 9 am   Körper    1 satt anliegend durch die Blattfedern 5 federnd angedrückt werden.



   In Fig. 1 sind nur zwei   Ultraschalistrabler    gezeichnet, für eine wirksame Einstrahlung sind jedoch meistens drei oder mehr Strahler erförderlich. Auch   kamin    einer der Strahler durch ein     Stützbein      ersetzt sein, wenn es beispielsweise darauf ankommt, sämtliche Strahler auf der einen Seite der Saugvorrichtung dicht nebeneinander anzuordnen, wie es beispielsweise bei der Paravertebralbestrah  hmg    erforderlich ist. Da die Saugvorrichtung in diesem Falle sehr schief belastet werden würde, empfiehlt es sich, an der gegenüberliegenden Seite durch ein Stützbein einen Gegendruck auszuüben.



   Die Vorrichtung gewährleistet eine sichere und reproduzierbare Ultraschalleinstrahlung, selbst wenn der Patient sich während der   Behandlung      merklich    bewegt. Auf jeden Fall ist es jedoch erforderlich, ein   li : oppelmedium       zuvor auf die E Haut zu bringen, welches nicht    nur eine sichere Ultraschallübertragung durch Vermeidung der Luftschicht zwischen Strahlern und Haut gewährleistet, sondern ausserdem ein betriebssicheres Ansaugen der   Saug-    vorrichtung selbst. Es wird vorgeschlagen, hierfür eine wasserlösliche, gelatinöse Paste zu verwenden, welche sich als derart   wirksam    erwiesen hat, dass die genannte Vorrichtung selbst auf stark behaarten   Körperpartien    Verwendung finden kann.   



  
 



     Ultrasonic irradiation device
For irradiating ultrasound into any body, especially for medical purposes, the ultrasound radiator, which is designed in the form of a handle, has been guided over the body part to be treated in the form of a stroking massage. This procedure is very time-consuming and laborious, since the doctor or the assistant is employed manually during the entire duration of the treatment. For this reason, it has also been proposed to fix the treatment head designed as a handle with a tripod and to attach it to the body part to be treated.

   This method has also not been able to establish itself, since the slightest movements of the patient disturb the sound transition and, moreover, the area covered is significantly smaller when irradiating with a stationary treatment head than when irradiating with a moving treatment head.



   These protrusions are avoided in the device according to the invention in that several arms are arranged on a suction device, on which ultrasonic emitters are arranged so that they can easily be rotated and displaced.



   Fig '. 1 shows an embodiment of the device. At 1 we recognize the body that is to be irradiated, for example the human body. 2 is a commercially available rubber suction cup, 3 is an airtight tube inserted into it, onto which the rubber ball 4 is attached. With 5 leaf springs are designated which are rotatably arranged around the tube 3 with a certain amount of friction.



  On them are the arms 6, on which the joints 7 are arranged, displaceable in the longitudinal direction and fixable with a single handle, which hold the arms 6 together with the rods 8 and allow them to be fixed in relation to one another in any desired direction. Forks 9 which are effective in one direction or are also gimbaled are attached to the rods 8, which ensure that the relevant ultrasonic emitter automatically adapts itself to the inclination of the body surface. With 10 the flat ultrasonic radiators are designated. whose diameter should be greater than their thickness as possible, and with 11 their supply cables.

   Means 12 are attached in the rubber suction cup 2 which, in the case of very soft skin, prevent the skin from being completely sucked into the mouth of the tube 3 in order to avoid a decrease in the suction force. These means can consist of a rib profile, an inserted wire mesh or other be available, which prevent an airtight application of the skin to the inner surface of the suction cup 2.



   The device is placed on the relevant part of the body with the ball 4 pressed together, with the necessary negative pressure for the device being sucked in sufficiently firmly after the ball is released. The arms 6, which can be rotated around the tube 3, are then extended in the desired directions and, by loosening the hinge screws 7, the rods 8 are pressed down so far that the radiators 10 are pressed snugly against the body 1 by the leaf springs 5 using the cardan suspension 9 .



   In Fig. 1 only two ultrasonic distributors are shown, but three or more radiators are usually required for effective irradiation. One of the emitters can also be replaced by a support leg if, for example, it is important to arrange all emitters close to one another on one side of the suction device, as is necessary, for example, with the paravertebral beam. Since the suction device would be loaded very crookedly in this case, it is advisable to exert counter pressure on the opposite side by means of a support leg.



   The device ensures reliable and reproducible irradiation of the ultrasound, even if the patient moves noticeably during the treatment. In any case, however, it is necessary to apply a liquid to the skin beforehand, which not only ensures reliable ultrasound transmission by avoiding the air layer between radiators and skin, but also reliable suction of the suction device itself. It is proposed To use a water-soluble, gelatinous paste for this purpose, which has proven to be so effective that the device mentioned can be used even on heavily haired parts of the body.
