Patented in the German Empire from l. June 1880.

The Ju η ο d 'see apparatus (compare catalog by S. Goldschmidt, Königl. Court mechanic and bandagist, Berlin W., Wilhelmstrafse 84, Page 16) for so-called bloodless cupping is fulfilled by the in the same by a Air pump caused air dilution to break up and swell the main capillaries of the veins, but not to the extent that this helps loosen the deposits in joints and Muscles in neuralgic, gouty ailments are necessary to expose their absorption to effect. The purpose of the sweating apparatus that I have constructed is through simultaneous The effect of heat and the dilution of air in neuralgic ailments leads to increased sleepiness. the pores and capillaries and increased blood supply to the skin surface and to fully achieve the above purpose.

The apparatus shows:

Sheet I an apparatus of the type made, in suitable * dimensions, for action on individual limbs appear suitable. While this apparatus is in the external form still hook up to the Junod's apparatus, but shows

Sheet Π an apparatus that takes the sufferer up to the upper part of the body while seated can and which therefore permits the action of the apparatus on the deposits of the pelvic muscles and expand the hips.

Apparatus Fig. 1 consists of a double-walled, oval or round sheet metal cylinder A of suitable dimensions, the walls of which leave approximately a gap of 20 to 30 mm between them and the body limb to be treated is introduced into the innermost cavity, and this form of the apparatus is suitable for Treatment of the leg up to the thigh.

A basket mesh K, which is geometrically similar to the cylinder itself, is placed in the inner cavity at a distance of ι ο mm approximately from the inner wall in order to avoid contact of the limb with the metal wall and rests on a "cIern" wooden ring r, isolated from the bottom.

The wickerwork itself is provided with a soft cushion P at its upper mouth towards the inside, which hugs the shape of the body. On Erdem is on the apparatus yet a conical, resilient cap υ rubber as in Junod airtightly fixed, which anschliefst by their own elasticity to the body shape and upon exposure to an air dilution pump airtight Abschlufs f causes h air valve, · whose inner orifice h 'leads to the space between the walls of the sheet metal double cylinder. T is a thermometer fixed in a cork, the sphere of which is exposed to the temperature in the room of the apparatus; A sleeve is soldered between the walls of the apparatus to hold the cork. h " is a tap for letting water vapor into the space between the walls of the apparatus, h '" is a drain tap for condensation water.

The procedure with my device is now as follows:

The air cock h is opened and water vapor is let into the space between the double walls.

Claims (1)

After a short time the thermometer shows 85 to 100 ° C; As a result of this warming up of the apparatus, a certain amount of air has already taken hold in the interior: only now is the leg or arm inserted into the apparatus and the exposed part is wrapped with felt or woolen cloths that simultaneously envelop the apparatus and protect it against too rapid cooling . Now the entry of steam is closed and the apparatus is slowly cooled down to 80 to 70 ° C. By this cooling at the same time a part-step Vacuum is created in the apparatus, which achieves the temperature of the steam obtained at 70 ⁰ C. in the intermediate walls the desired effect. If the temperature falls below 70 ⁰ C, the steam valve is opened temporarily back to the 70 ⁰ C. to obtain temperature. The apparatus described above only works on the knees and lower legs or the forearm joints one, all deposits in the hips can only be done indirectly by increasing the whole Metabolism come to a solution, which is not yet sufficient for neuralgia and other deposits in the pelvic muscles, etc. So it is also an apparatus necessary, which takes up the entire lower body, and such an apparatus is shown in Fig. 2. It is two-part and consists of the lower part A, in which seat 5 is attached for the patient, and the upper part A ₁ , which is opened by means of hinges s, Fig. 3, and closed by means of latches η after the patient has been seated in the apparatus took. Both parts also consist of hollow double walls made of sheet metal and are provided with a wooden panel W for the purpose of insulation. Inside there is also a wickerwork with a lid and accordingly isolated from the sheet metal walls by wooden supports. The same letters as in Fig. 1 designate thermometers, air pumps, taps, etc. The seal between the joints of the lower part and the lid is done by a strip of felt all around. The upper part and the lower part each have an air cock h, a steam inflow cock ti ' and a condensation water drain cock ti ". The upper body of the patient sitting in the apparatus becomes loose with a woolen blanket and the openings between the body and the box opening are clogged with this blanket. Otherwise the procedure is the same as for the apparatus just described. Patenτ claim: Sweating apparatus, consisting of double-walled vessels or boxes, into the spaces between the walls of which water vapor is introduced and the interior of which, provided with wickerwork, is used to hold parts of the body of those who suffer or to pick up the trunk and lower extremities and before the burn to protect the solution and exudation of by heating with air dilution to cause pathological substances deposited in joints and muscles. For this purpose I sheet drawings.
