Abstract

A magnetic therapeutic device comprising a pair of high-power magnets A and B having wide contact surfaces, the contact surfaces of the magnets which face each other having opposite polarities. Since the magnets have strong magnetic force and wide contact surface, it is possible to relieve any kind of physical discomfort, for example, stiffness and pains, within an extremely short period of time. Also disclosed is a composite magnet comprising four unit magnets 1 of substantially the same rectangular parallelepiped configuration which are arranged in such a manner that the north and south pole faces are alternately disposed in point symmetry with each other with respect to the center of the unit magnets as viewed along a plane which is perpendicular to the magnetization direction. Thus, the respective surfaces of unit magnets of the same kind or area always attract each other and do not repel, and it is therefore possible to readily assemble and disassemble the composite magnet as desired. <IMAGE>

Description

The present invention relates to arrangements of Ma gneten ver as devices for magnetic therapy are reversible, according to the preamble of claim 1 or 16 or 26 or 36 or 45 or 51 or 60 to magneti lines of force affect a living body leave to physical discomfort, such as pain, ver to fix tension and pressure or to improve wellbeing generally improve. Furthermore, this concerns Invention magnets for this, according to the preamble of claim 43 or 48 or 55. Finally relates the present invention also includes arrangements from Ma who then worked in crafts, in toys, Household items, learning items etc. using the magnetic attraction can be used.

It is well known that magnetism has an effect effects on the human body and physical Complaints such as B. tension and pain  can lift and a generally positive influence on the Health has and a large number of magnetic Therapy devices that ver the magnetic effect are already on the market and in use, like e.g. B. magnetic necklaces, bracelets, mattresses, Ma gnet tapes and magnetic pills attached to adhesive tapes be glued and in the following with "magnetic plasters" be designated.

However, the already known magnetic The Therapy devices have the following disadvantages: for example there is a magnetic collar or the like magnetic lines of force at a certain point, e.g. B. in the neck of a person, whereas a magnetic Mattress the effect of magnetism on the whole Body of a person allows, however, the magne lines of force from a magnetic mattress on the right are relatively weak and are parts of a person's body, magnetism is effective on limited that close to those installed in the mattress Magnets lie.

In contrast, magnetic plasters that are emerging in recent years Have spread widely anywhere in the world Body attached so that lines of magnetic force directly can act on a desired part of the body. Since ever but the magnetic pole that is in contact with the skin one pole is confined (in most cases the North Pole), it is impossible to apply a strong magnetic field to the generate desired location so that the magnetic Lines of force that act on the part in question, rela tiv weak. Even if a large number of Ma gnet plasters is glued to an affected part, because the magnetic system is in contact with the skin Poles of the same polarity have the magnetic force not increased, but rather finds a counterpart cancellation or extinction. So it is un  possible to have a strong magnetic therapy effect such conventional magnetic patches waiting. Since this type of therapy patch continues for can be in contact with the skin for a long period of time the skin is prone to rashes.

Furthermore, most of the described use forth Hollow Magnetic Therapy Ferrite Magnets or the like, which is just an ordinary magnetic force have strength and the magnetic flux density at the plant surface with the human body usually lies at 1000 G (Gauss) or less. Even if a magnet from rare earths, the strong magnet is used forces, the magnetic flux density is mostly included 2000 G and usually 1500 G or less.

In addition, the contact area of the magnetic pole with the skin of the body is relatively small, ie 1 cm ² or less, so that the magnetic lines of force on the body are weak. Thus, it has been generally recognized that the lines of magnetic force generated by these known devices cannot have an immediate therapeutic effect and are only effective when used for a long period of time. A variety of treatment options have been proposed in magnetic therapy, and it is common practice to use a single magnet that has a pair of north and south poles. In the simplest case, the north pole of the individual magnet mentioned is brought into contact with the skin of an affected body and fixed there with adhesive tape or the like. However, as a variety of magnetic therapy methods have been proposed and studied, there is a growing tendency to admit that treatment in which the north pole of a single magnet is brought into contact with the skin of the affected part of the body and the south pole of another single magnet is close to it North Pole is also effective.

As described, it was previously recognized that the ma genetic therapy devices generated therapeutic Effect is slow and that these devices only are effective when used for a relatively long period of time be used.

It is therefore an object of the present invention, little least one of the disadvantages of the prior art To bypass technology.

This problem is solved by the character nenden features of claim 1 or 16 or 26 or 36 or 43 or 45 or 48 or 51 or 55 or 60.

The respective subclaims have advantageous further formations of the invention to the content.

Extensions have been made within the scope of the present invention Investigations carried out to find a way den, a strong improvement in the therapeutic effect of to allow magnetic lines of force so that physical Complaints can be resolved immediately. This Un Investigations led to the result that a magneti cal therapy device thereby an extraordinary Effectiveness in the therapeutic effect can be obtained by the surface area in which the device is in contact with the body (hereinafter referred to as "contact surface ") to such an amount is enlarged, not close to that of known devices and by continuing to use a pair of magnets strong magnetic forces are used so that the magne table flux density of the magnetic therapy device increased becomes. This knowledge is the subject of the first implementation tion form of the present invention.  

It has also been shown that a magnetic therapy device with an enlarged contact surface, the by combining a plurality of magnets with strong magnetic forces is obtained in such a way that the north and South Poles are arranged alternately, a superior has a therapeutic effect on the human body and that the use of a pair of magnetic Therapy devices are extremely effective therapeutically acts on the body. This knowledge is the subject of second embodiment of the present invention.

Furthermore, it has been shown that a magnetic therapy device with a contact surface by arranging a plurality of magnets with strong magnetic forces in a row, with the same magnetic poles facing each other along a magnetically permeable material is enlarged, excellent therapeutic effects achieved on the human body and that use of a pair of such magnetic therapeutic Devices extremely effective to exert a therapeutic effect is on the human body. This realization is the subject of the third embodiment of the present invention.

Then in further investigations pointed out that it is possible to even one achieve better therapeutic effect in that a magnetic therapeutic device so designed is that a magnetic pole face that is in contact with brought to the human body in the form of a A plurality of protrusions are formed, which are older form north and south poles. This The result of the investigation is the subject of the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

From a different point of view, they are  magnetic therapy devices described above are not imperative free from disadvantages that are practical Show effort. Thus, the magnetic therapeutic Devices according to the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention further improved to to get a magnet for magnetic attachment is just as suitable as for magnetic therapy and the easy to assemble, disassemble and remove and with a variety of applications great flexibility can be used. It was found that when using a composite magnet, which by combining four magnets same rectangular, flat-parallel design according to a special procedure or when used of a composite magnet made by combining a majority of the compound just now described types is formed when a such composite magnets, or if one Pair of composite magnets or a plurality of pairs of composite magnets as one set be used, the total magnets each other without errors tighten and stick together without any repulsion forces between them, no matter how they come along nander be put in plant, so that their handling is considerably relieved. This knowledge is against stood the fifth embodiment of the present Er finding.

Further investigations on the just mentioned together put magnets have shown that it is not always necessary it is nimble to put together four individual magnets and that when combining a prime number (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc.) of unit magnets and an oversight of them Combination with a simple marking, e.g. B. one distinguishable color or a lead to under to be divisible, this composite magnet same function as that described above together  set magnet consisting of four individual magnets can lead and additionally when used in medicine African use cases it is possible advantageous To achieve effects that were previously unattainable. This realization is the subject of the sixth version tion form of the present invention.

Extensive studies have also been carried out to similarly improve plate magnets that generally used in many ways and it has it turned out that not only four, but also a plurality of individual magnets combined and together can be stacked as desired, with the magne table pole faces always attract, regardless of which Sides of the individual magnets face each other by each individual magnet is arranged such that a Most of the north and south pole faces alternate are arranged on the surface of the magnet. These Discovery forms the basis for the seventh version tion form of the present invention.

In summary, the magnetic therapy gene completely new and advises according to the present invention the present invention essentially comprises following seven practical forms (in the following with "First to Seventh Embodiments" denotes:

• 1. A pair of high performance magnets with enlarged Contact surfaces.
• 2. A plurality of high performance magnets that are so are arranged that the north and south poles alternie rend available.
• 3. A plurality of high performance magnets that line up are arranged in such a way that the same poles one each pair of adjacent magnets through each other  a magnetically permeable material gene.
• 4. A contact surface in the form of a plurality of Projections, the alternating north and Define South Poles.
• 5. Four magnets with the same rectangular, flat parallel design, the magnets with each other be combined in such a way that the North and South Pole End faces in point symmetry with respect to each other the center of the combined four magnets are.
• 6. A composite magnet, which by arrangement of a Prime number of magnets with the same rectangle shaped, parallel flat shape formed in this way is that the north and south pole faces that of are made distinguishable, alternating are arranged.
• 7. A plate magnet with a surface on which al terning a plurality of north and south pole forehead surfaces is arranged.

The seven embodiments described above are not independent of each other, but subject to one uniform basic idea. Thus, this execution forms selected appropriately and also with each other can be combined to meet certain situations with these combinations being highly effective can.

The embodiments of the present invention will described in more detail below.

The magnetic therapeutic device according to a first  practical embodiment of the present invention has a pair of high performance magnets that already Have contact surfaces, the contact surfaces the magnets face each other and oppose each other have polarity set. Advantageously, everyone has the Magnets that partially or form a pair of halves completely covered with a protective part and with this connected in one piece.

The contact surface of each of these halves, which are brought into contact with the human body, must be at least 1 cm ² wide. Usually, the area of each contact area is selected to be 2 cm ² or larger and smaller than 200 cm ² , preferably 5 cm ² or more and less than 100 cm ² . If the size of the contact surface is small, the magnetic effect on the human body is small and therefore a relatively long time has to be spent on the treatment, whereas in the case of a contact surface which is too large - although the effect and effect of the magnetism are strong - it becomes difficult to handle the magnetic therapeutic device. Typically, the contact surface is less than about 100 cm ² .

During the treatment, the pair of magnetic halves of the magne therapeutic device usually in both Holding hands and applied to the affected part of the body sets, so that it is therefore advantageous to each Half in the form of a rod, a prism or the like Chen form, so that each half easily with a Hand can be held. You can also use a hand gripped to be provided on each of the halves. The magneti cal flux density at the contact surface of each Half, which is in contact with the human body is required is 500 G or more to produce effects to evoke that superior to previous devices  are. However, to get even better therapeutic devices achieve, it is necessary to set the magnetic flux density at least 1000 G, usually 2000 G or more and preferably bring 2500 G or more. To continue the influence of the magnetic force lines on the human To improve a body, it is beneficial to have a pair of High performance magnets to use, the enlarged An have layer surfaces, the contact surfaces the opposite magnets oppose each other have opposite polarities.

Any kind of magnet with a strong magnetic force can be used in the present invention and there is no particular limitation on the type of Magnets. However, high performance magnets should be included rare earths advantageously as a high performance measure be used. Among these, advantageous rare earths, element co-magnets and rare earths Earthing element Fe - B magnets can be used.

Of course it is possible to use other types of magnets use, provided that the magnets used Develop strong magnetic forces, for example Platinum-Fe magnets, platinum co-magnets, Alnico magnets and ferrite magnets can be used. Sintered magnets with rare earths are particularly effective under the Point of view of magnetic force and plastic magnets the can have excellent ductility themselves understandable can also be used as long as it is a have strong magnetic force.

The magnetic therapy device according to the present Er invention enables satisfactory therapeutic effects also in the form of a pair of high-performance magnets al leash provided that the magnets are sufficiently large Have contact surfaces. If each of the magnets with a protective part is covered and in one piece with this  connected, this is in terms of application, hand availability and therapeutic effect advantageous. In In this case, each of the magnets in its entirety including the contact surface with a protective part are covered, but depending on the type of ver protective part used. However, it is in some Cases advantageous to leave the contact surface free. The protective part is made of a magnetically permeable Material and / or a magnetically impermeable mate rial manufactured.

In the event that the protective part from a magnetic permeable material is manufactured by the Protective part advantageously a magnetic circuit formed of the magnetic flux density at the contact surface of the magnet increases if the protective part is like this is arranged that the entire magnet except the Contact surface is covered. Examples of magnetic permeable materials described in the present Er invention are advantageously applicable, for example. B. Iron, ferrous alloys such as steel, nickel, nic carbonaceous alloys, cobalt, cobalt-containing alloys and combinations of these materials, the Aus choice is not limited to the materials mentioned. If in this case the contact surface of the magnet with a non-magnetizable material, e.g. B. Art fabric, leather, paper or fabric is thinly coated, the magnetic therapy device feels soft when it is placed on a part of the body, which for the Pa is pleasant. If the cover is too thick, becomes the magnetic flux density at the contact surface disadvantageously significantly reduced. A suitable nete thickness in the cover is usually 2 mm or less and also depending on the materia used lien.

In the case where a non-magnetic material as  Protective part is used, each of the magnets is part wisely or completely covered with the protective part and with connected in one piece. If the contact surface is covered with the non-magnetic material and here the protective part is too thick, the magnetic flux disadvantageously reduced density at the contact surface, as already described.

Examples of non-magnetizable materials used for Use as a protective part are z. B. Me talle such as stainless steel, copper, a copper-containing Alloy, aluminum and aluminum-containing alloys, Plastics, rubber, fabric, paper, leather, wood and Ceramics.

Practical examples of plastics used suitable in the present invention are poly ethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride resin, polyester, poly amide, acrylic resin, polycarbonate, polyurethane and ABS where but practical examples of rubber or rubber, Natural rubber and synthetic rubbers are such. B. butadiene-styrene rubber, butyl rubber, chloro pren rubber and silicone rubber.

The protective part can be used in a wide variety of forms be applied. The easiest way to use egg non-magnetizable material for the protective part is covering the entire high-performance magnet with the material or covering all surfaces of the Ma gnetes with the exception of part or all of the Contact surface. The cover reinforces the Hochlei stungsmagneten and thus prevents this during the Use is damaged and also allows the Magnet soft on the skin of the part of the body concerned can be placed so that the therapy process in is advantageously facilitated.  

The protective part or the protective cover can by various whose methods are applied, for example by simply spray on a liquid paint, burn in and electrostatic application. If a plastic ma material is used as a protective cover or protective part, can the cover advantageously by sintering applied using a plastic powder which gives a very nice surface.

It is also possible to use the protective cover Apply plating techniques such as B. Dry or wet metal plating or combined plating techniques. In the case where the high performance magnet is covered with a non-magnetizable material, such as B. a metal such as stainless steel, aluminum, an aluminum-containing alloy, copper or one copper-containing alloy or plastic, leather, paper or fabric, it is possible to use a foil, a film or a layer of one of these materials on the magne to apply using an adhesive. It is also possible to put the magnet in a case or in a Ta use appropriate shaping, which from a Material of the above type is made. In one such housing can be the part of the housing or the Bag against the contact surface of the magnet is to be opened. It can also be very practical be if the protective cover is designed so that it also used as a storage case for the magnet can be.

Furthermore, it is very practical and advantageous if that magnetic therapy device according to the present invention is further configured as follows.

A pair of high performance magnets are made accordingly in Receiving sections used, as below is described, formed in outer protective components  are, for example made of wood or plastic material are made to a magnetic therapy device create that consists of a pair of halves. The Magnets can be inserted into the outer protective components after that with magnetically permeable protection cases have been provided, or after not magnetizable protective covers, such as. B. color or Plastic have been provided, or after using Layers of aluminum or steel have been provided. The receiving sections are in the corresponding outer Protective components designed such that when the pair is composed of halves, with the contact upper face to face, a magnetic The Therapy device is created that consists of a pair of halves ten exists. If shape and size of the outer protective structure parts are selected accordingly, it is possible to use them easy to hold with one hand during treatment. Alternatively, a handle on each protective structure part can be provided, or it is conceivable to decrease hard band or an elastic loop or to arrange the same on the protective component, so that the Device easily placed on the body part to be treated can be.

It is beneficial to the external appearance of the Device if the pair of halves is formed that in the assembled state they lie together contact surfaces an overall appearance in Form a column or prism. The protection components in which the receiving sections for the magnets are formed from any formable material are manufactured, regardless of whether this is magnetizable or not.

If a metal is used to protect the protective components form, there is no special restriction on the Type of metal used, rather any shape  bare metallic material can be used. However, it is advantageous to select a metal that is generally Ver finds application, for example iron, iron-containing le Alloys such as steel, stainless steel, copper, copper containing alloys, aluminum and aluminum-containing Le alloys. Furthermore, plastics or rubbers be used.

In addition, wood, fabrics, paper, leather or Kera miken used to the protective component or parts to form from this.

More specifically, a suitable combination of a metal and a plastic material or wood allows the Aus formation of a protective component that is easy to use, has an appealing appearance and the user op appealing to the table.

The mechanisms of action of the magnetic therapy device according to the present invention were not yet fully clarified at the time of filing the present application. However, it has been found that in conventional magnetic therapy devices the contact area with the human body is very small, e.g. B. 1 cm ² or less and the magnetic flux density on the contact surface Kon is usually 1500 G or in the majority of cases below, whereas in the magnetic therapy device according to the present inven tion, the magnetic flux density on the contact surface of one half of the device very much is much higher, namely 2000 G or more and 2500 G or more in a preferred embodiment and the contact area is also if larger than in the prior art, namely 2 cm ² or more. Furthermore, it can be considered that the magnetic therapy device according to the invention has extraordinary therapeutic effects that have not previously been observed, since a pair of Hochlei stungsmagneten is used in such a way that opposite magnetic poles oppose each other, with the body part to be treated in between or that the magnets are placed side by side on the body to be treated perteil to increase the intensity of the magnetic field that acts on the body part during treatment.

In contrast to conventional magnetic therapy devices so far only for very limited body parts were applicable, it enables magnetic therapy device according to the present invention that Randbe Zirke of the body part to be treated magnetically stimu be lated. It can therefore be assumed that the ak activated tissue around the diseased area of the body supportive healing effect in the treatment of affected body part.

The magnetic therapy device according to the second praxis rule embodiment of the present invention a plurality of high performance magnets that so are arranged that the north and south poles alternate are arranged and thereby an enlarged contact surface is created. This is preferably the case mentioned magnetic therapy device with another Paired device that has the same structure, the Contact surfaces of the areas of these devices, the egg opposite polarities opposite each other ha ben.

According to the invention, a plurality of high-performance measures gneten that together a magnetic therapy device bil the, so combined that the north and South poles of the magnets, directly or indirectly are adjacent, are arranged alternately, wherein it no restrictions on the number of ver applied magnets and the way they interacted  that are combined gives. However, if two Hochlei Stungsmagneten with each other to form a unit of this kind nation that the north pole of a magnet side Side with the south pole of the other magnet and one Most of these units are assembled as desired is the magnetic therapy device created in this way able to diseased parts of the body of different sizes treat what is very advantageous in practical use can be.

In the present invention, there is no particular limitation on the size of the contact surface, but the contact surface should be at least 1 cm ² and more preferably in the range of 2 cm ² or more to 200 cm ² . If the size of the contact surface is small, the effect of magnetism on the human body is small and therefore a relatively long treatment time is necessary, whereas if the contact surface is too large, it becomes difficult to handle the magnetic therapy device, although it does have an effect and impact of magnetism are strong. Thus, in general, the contact area should preferably not be larger than 100 cm ² .

In the first embodiment, a magnetic therapy device has been proposed which consists of a pair of high-performance magnets, each of which has an individual large contact surface. However, since the optimal contact surface depends on each individual user and the type of body part to be treated, it is necessary to create a large number of magnetic therapy devices with a wide range of surface sizes in order to do justice to all applications. However, since the present invention allows a plurality of magnets to be combined as desired, it follows that if, for example, three different sizes of magnets are made with contact surfaces of 1 cm ² , 2 cm ² and 3 cm ² , it is possible to create any desired size of the contact surface in the range of 1 to 10 cm ² . Thus, when preparing a few different sizes of magnets, the device is easily able to adapt to all possible treatment purposes. Since the magnets can still be staggered, it is also possible to adjust the intensity of the magnetic force.

The magnetic flux density at the contact surface of a each magnet is necessarily 500 G or more to to achieve the effects that are far superior to those are by devices according to the prior art are targetable. However, to get even better therapeutic effects achieve, it is necessary to set the magnetic flux density at least 1000 G, generally 2000 G or more and preferably set to 2500 G or more.

Any type of magnet with strong magnetic forces can be in the present invention can be applied and lie no special restrictions regarding ver used magnets, similar to the first version form. If a plurality of high performance magnets is combined with each other so that a great contact surface is generated, the device is able to very satisfactory therapeutic effect shout. If the entirety of the combination of the magnets combined with a protective cover into one unit it is advantageous in terms of application, hand habitation and therapeutic effect. Kind, education and The application of the protective component is identical to that according to the first embodiment described above.

The mechanism of action of the magnetic therapy device ge According to the second embodiment, the same as that of the first embodiment with regard to this be tet that the contact surface is enlarged. There  however, in the second embodiment, a plurality of High-performance magnets combined in this way is that the north and south poles are arranged alternately are, a plurality of magnetic circuits is formed and it can be assumed that the lines of magnetic force in within a patient's body via the contact surfaces appear stronger than in the case of an individual Magnets.

Furthermore, it can be assumed that the magnetic Therapy device according to the second embodiment therefore achieved such great therapeutic effects that so far not were possible because of a pair of magnetic therapy devices advises are used in such a way that opposite Ma gnetpole are opposite to each other, to deal with that delnde body part in between or that the magnets Side by side on the body part to be treated be placed to ver the intensity of the magnetic field strengthen that on the body during treatment works.

Another major advantage of the present Er invention according to the second embodiment is that magnetic treatment to an optimal range be matched because a variety of magnetic Therapy devices in a suitable manner with each other can be combined.

The magnetic therapy device according to the third embodiment Form of the present invention has a plurality of high-performance magnets that work together in Magne tisierrichtung are connected such that the same poles of each pair of adjacent magnets by one magnetically permeable material opposite, so that an enlarged contact surface is created. Before preferably, this magnetic therapy device with a other device of the same structure paired such that the  Parts of the devices that face each other, each other have opposite polarities.

In the third embodiment, a plurality of High performance magnets that are a magnetic therapy device form, combined in such a way that the same poles of each pair of adjacent magnets each other via a magnetically permeable material and there are no special restrictions in terms of the number of magnets used and the How they are combined. Al However, all high-performance magnets used in the essentially the same dimensions and the same Cross section. The dimensions in the longitudinal direction (Direction of magnetization) do not necessarily have to be identical be table. With regard to the cross section can for example circular, elliptical or square Shapes are used, with a qua dramatic or rectangular shape on internship is best. More specifically, the cross-sectional shape the magnet must be essentially the same as that of the magnetic permeable material, whereas the length of a every magnet within a range can be chosen that the magnetic flux in relation to the outer peripheral surface is not saturated.

Regarding the magnetically permeable material that between the same poles of each pair of be neighboring magnet is used, it is possible to egg Use the following metals: iron, nickel, Cobalt and alloys made from these metals generally the most advantageous is iron or soft steel to use.

Because the magnetic therapy device according to the third off leadership form of the present invention a customized Selection of the dimensions of the individual high-performance dimensions  gnete allowed, it is possible to count the number of each Magnets for the same structure and the same dimensions solutions of the magnetic therapy device to increase if this is desired.

Generally speaking, in magnetic therapy devices same structure and the same dimensions, each the number of individual high-performance magnets is higher, the number of magnetic circuits higher and therefore also the effect.

Thus the therapeutic effect of this version is also form larger than that with the first and second Embodiment can be achieved because the magnetic Thera Piegerät the third embodiment a larger number of magnetic circuits per unit area than that Devices according to the first and second embodiments.

In the third embodiment, the surface area which is brought into contact with the body must be greater than at least 1 cm ² , which range is generally between 2 cm ² or more and less than 200 cm ² , as in the first and second Embodiment.

In the first embodiment, a magnetic Therapy device proposed, which consists of a pair of High performance magnets are made, each of which is a one has a large contact surface. However, since the optimal Contact area depends on the individual applications, it is necessary to adapt to all possible cases can a large number of magnetic therapy devices with a large variety of sizes the third embodiment makes it possible to have a more Combine number of magnets as desired ren, where for example a kind of magnetically by casual material with the same cross-section and different types of magnets with different contact surfaces  the device is used according to the third off leadership easily able to handle Adapting body parts of various sizes sen.

The construction of the therapy device, the magnetic flux density at the contact surface and the type of in this Embodiment used magnets corresponds in the we noticeable to those in the first and second embodiments shape.

In the third embodiment, when a plurality of High-performance magnets simply combined with one another is, so that there is a large contact surface the device is able to give a satisfactory thera to achieve a poetic effect. However, if the total the combination of the magnets with a protective component is summarized, it is advantageous in terms of Ge use, handling and therapeutic effect, the same che protective component as in the case of the first described and second embodiments to use. Type, structure and use of the protective component are also complete dig identical to those of the first two execution forms men.

The mechanism of action of the magnetic therapy device ge in this embodiment, the same is the same first embodiment that the contact area increases is. However, since in the third embodiment A plurality of high-performance magnets with each other is combined that the same poles of each pair from neighboring magnets to each other via a magnetic permeable material will face through a plurality of magnetic circuits formed and strong Ma Gnetic lines extend circumferentially from the magnetically permeable material between each pair of neighboring magnets. It can therefore be assumed that  the lines of magnetic force within the patient's body act stronger than through the contact surface in the case of using a single magnet.

It is also possible to apply a magnetic treatment to a to let optimal area act, since a majority of magnets can be combined with one another in a suitable manner is, as in the case of the second form of training.

A magnetic therapy device according to a fourth prak tables embodiment of the present invention a contact surface that is in contact with the human body can be brought, this surface is in the form of a plurality of projections, the alternating north and south poles define ren.

The above magnetic poles can be on the contact surface surface, for example, by divided magnetization of a one-piece part or by assembling individual magnets with one north and south pole or single magnet ten with a plurality of pole pairs are formed. It is also possible to use a method in which the Magnetic area and the projecting area first from are manufactured separately and then into one Unit. If the projecting Area is made of a magnetically permeable material and is connected to the magnetic part is the magneti therapy device pleasant to use and the thera pronounced effect even more pronounced. Furthermore, the following different procedures within the framework of the This embodiment can be used:

Since the magnet is protruding according to this embodiment Has magnetic poles, which alternate north and south poles define on the contact surface which one is in attachment brought with the human body, express themselves  these protruding areas relatively deep in the Aufla area of the patient's body, d. that is to say acting body part and the protruding areas stimulate the body part and cause magnetic Force lines have a strong impact on the affected part. More specifically, since the magnet according to this embodiment form the plurality of protruding magnetic poles points, the magnetic flux density is in the near range every lead compared to a magnet of none Has projections, increases and at the same time form the protruding poles a plurality of magnetic circles sen. Thus, the therapeutic effect of the device is ge according to this embodiment compared to that of devices by far superior to the state of the art.

In practice, a satisfactory therapeutic effect can be expected if several to a few tens of protruding magnetic poles are provided per contact area with an area of 1 cm ² , although there is no special restriction in the number of protruding magnetic poles as long as their number is still technically justifiable. In particular, if four projecting magnetic poles are formed on the contact surface, this is advantageous in terms of both manufacture and handling. In this case, the area of the contact surface which is brought into contact with the human body can be set as desired, depending on the area of the section of the body to be treated. There is no restriction on the formation of the contact surface, it can be circular, elliptical, toroidal, rectangular, hexagonal or octagonal in addition to a square shape. Furthermore, there are no restrictions with regard to the design and number of the projections, but it is particularly advantageous to set the overall height of the projections to 10 mm or less. With regard to the shape of the projections, it is possible to form conical, columnar and pyramid-shaped shapes as well as blunt shapes. B. frusto-conical jumps. It is particularly advantageous for the stimulation of therapeutic points if each projecting magnetic pole has the shape of a rounded cone with a diameter of approximately 1 to 2 mm and a height of approximately 3 to 7 mm. There are no restrictions on the distance between the protruding magnetic poles and, in general, it is preferable to distribute the protruding magnetic poles evenly on the contact surface with intervals of about 3 to 7 µm between them. In the case where the protrusions of the poles are in the form of a stump and when the distance between each pair of adjacent poles is lengthened, the protruding poles form a structure that is similar to a flat surface plate with criss-cross slots. Since in addition derar term blunted magnetic poles are easy to manufacture, this embodiment of a magnet is particularly advantageous. The protrusions described above and the magnetic poles need not necessarily be in a one-to-one relationship, and a plurality of protrusions may form north or south poles, respectively. In some cases, such an arrangement is even better for manufacture.

As described, a magnet according to this embodiment tion form can be produced in that a single Magnet is magnetized separately so that a more number of north and south poles are arranged alternately, it is also possible to use this magnet according to this Manufacture embodiment such that a plurality of single magnets, each with a single pair of North and South Poland or a number of individual magnets each with a plurality of pairs of Poles (e.g. Four magnetic poles) are combined and then such be assembled that the north and south poles older  are arranged on the contact surface. In In this case, the individual magnets can form a single unit be summarized by a well known Procedure or procedures as described in the second embodiment can be used. More specifically, it is possible to advantageously use a method turn in which the individual magnets with each other by means of an adhesive are connected; to use a procedure the one in which the magnets are coated with a layer of gnetizable material, e.g. B. stainless steel, alumi nium, an aluminum-containing alloy, copper or egg a copper-containing alloy are covered; and a Apply method in which the magnets are coated be held with a protective part, which, for. B. Plastic, rubber, leather, paper or fabric. Practical examples of plastics and rubbers are the same as in the description of the first Embodiment and a variety of plastics or Rubbers can be used in this embodiment will.

In the case where a magnet of this embodiment by individually magnetizing a single magnet is a protective structure can be used in the same way as in the Description of the first embodiment to thereby To facilitate handling of the magnet.

Furthermore, it is very advantageous to use a suitable Be rich in the magnetic surface, e.g. B. the floor area with a film, a film, a plate or the like a magnetically permeable material, e.g. B. iron, Nickel, cobalt and alloys made from them cover the magnetic flux density at the contact surface to increase and both protect and protect the magnet to reinforce. It is also possible to use a plastic mat gneten to use what is particularly economic  Reasons is very advantageous. Although the described Magnet according to this embodiment from individual magnets is formed, which are combined into one unit, it is not always necessary to build the entire to form, but it is possible that the pre jumps formed solely from a magnetic material be and the substrate from a magnetically permeable is made according to the material or it is conceivable that the projections made of a magnetically permeable mate rial are made and the substrate from a magnet is formed. In the first case, where each of the above jumps, for example, from a truncated cone-shaped dimension gnet formed with either a north or a south pole the protruding magnetic poles on the Substrate in a desired distribution and with ge desired distances are arranged, whereas in the latter case it is possible to set a desired number of Arrange protrusions on the same pole so that this Arrangement may be more effective if this is the states of the body part to be treated. If the before jumping area from a magnetically permeable Material with a high magnetization saturation value, such as B. is made of mild steel, the magnetic Flux density at the protrusions can be increased to the the therapeutic effect compared to the arrangement too verbes sern, in which the overall arrangement of individual magnets ge is formed, which have been combined into one unit. The projecting area does not necessarily have to be from egg nem magnetically permeable material, it it is also possible to change the projecting area under Ver use of stainless steel, an aluminum-containing Alloy, a plastic material or a kerami to produce material, so that the stimulation on affected body part and the effect of magnetic force lines can be divided between the two areas. Such an arrangement allows stimulation of diseased parts of the body in an increased number of poss  options. So it is z. B. possible, the magnet only easy and soft to apply on the affected part of the body If the height of the protruding areas is relative is kept short, there is essentially none Reduction of the magnetic lines of force by that Magnet are generated, which forms the substrate. By Varration of this height it is also possible to use the Intensi to control the lines of magnetic force and others to achieve various beneficial effects. If at for example, the embodiment described above in the Soles of sandals or shoes is incorporated it is possible to get an effect that matches the ver is comparable to that when walking barefoot over a stubble field or the like can be generated, but in this case still the effect of the lines of magnetic force on this itself already beneficial effect. So it can a person's health is expected to be that of wearing like shoes, being improved and his entire physical constitution is improved. If a similar che arrangement in a headband, bracelet, corset or The like is incorporated in such a way that an uneven broken system with the human body, can have the beneficial effects described above are also expected. In these applications it is particularly advantageous, the entire structure under Ver Manufacture using a plastic magnet.

In the case where the magnet according to this fourth off leadership form of a plurality of individual magnets ge a material can be made between each pair of neighboring magnets are introduced, which from a Variety of magnetically permeable materials and magnetically impermeable materials can. In some cases, such an arrangement increases the magnetic flux density or allows the flux affect density.  

Regarding the type of magnet used in this version can not be used Restriction and it is possible to ver any magnet turn that is commonly available on the market and is used, e.g. B. Ferrite magnets, Alnico Ma gnete, rare earth magnets and plastic magnets. Magnets with rare earths are particularly popular partial because they have strong magnetic forces and thus can advantageously be reduced in size.

If a magnet according to this embodiment for a Magnet therapy is used, it can be used against the hand body part to be treated. If the Contact surface of the magnet is relatively small, can the magnet on the body part to be treated under Ver attached using an adhesive tape or the like be, so that the magnet advantageously for can be worn for a longer period of time.

A composite magnet according to a fifth praxis rule embodiment of the present invention four magnets with the substantially same rectangle gen, parallel surface shape, which in such a way be ordered that the north and south pole faces alternately in point symmetry with respect to each other Center of the combined four magnets in the direction of view along a plane perpendicular to the magnetization direction is to be arranged. Preferably one Three-dimensional majority of such assembled magnets sional compound, each compound Ma gnet is used as a unit. More specifically, four magnets of the same shape are used in this way combined that the north and south pole face Chen are arranged as described in the later lower drawing. Usually four magnets become closed together as a unit. It is however also possible a single rectangular  and magnetize surface-parallel magnets in such a way that the north and south pole faces alternate in Point symmetry to each other with respect to the center of the magne ten are arranged to obtain a magnet which has the same structure as that described above together set magnet. This alternative is also in the Included within the scope of the present invention.

According to a plurality of composite magnets this embodiment summarized in a sentence where so assembled with two of the assembled magnets be that their respective surfaces match those of are of the same type, d. H. that have the same area in Plant brought together, these pull Surfaces on and there is no repulsive force between them. More specifically, since every assembled magnet rectangular and parallel to the surface, it has three different types of surfaces, each of which again has two surfaces. If in the case of before lying embodiment two composite magnets be put together, it doesn't matter which sides the magnets face each other, always prevail Attractive forces between the corresponding surfaces, which are brought into contact with each other as long as these Surfaces of the same type. Although it's general it is known that two magnets are inevitable either repel or attract each other, two draw composite magnets according to this embodiment always against each other and there are no repulsive forces between them, which is a remarkable phenomenon poses.

So far, magnets have been used in a variety of applications cases used, the attraction or the Magnetism have been used and it is common practice to use a single magnet in the case where very strong attraction or magnetic forces not be  are needed. If strong attraction or magnet forces are needed, or if a larger tightening range or magnetic force effective range is necessary, a single magnet cannot meet these requirements fill and a plurality of magnets will be in combination used. In such a case, a plurality of Ma Combined in such a way that the individual ma gnete, which have a fixed size, who made the and these individual magnets are successively together built, with their north and south poles alternating and be arranged adjacent to each other. If the necessary degree of attraction or the required size of the Magnetic force range is reached, the Single magnets to a unit using ver different methods put together and as an individual composite magnet used. In this case a magnetically permeable material such as B. iron, Nickel or an alloy thereof between each pair used by neighboring individual magnets to the necessary gene magnetic circuits to form the degree of magnetic To control action on an object or to attract and to facilitate separation processes. As for these points this embodiment is the same as the second and third embodiment.

However, if a plurality of individual magnets, according to the procedures in the description of the second and third Embodiments were made, combined with each other be used as a composite magnet it is necessary to change the direction of magnetization (i.e. H. the north and south poles) of each individual magnet check what is impractical. Especially if the Single magnets have a large dimension or if they are Rare earth magnets are strong magnetic forces must develop the weight of each individual magnet and the strengths of the attraction and repulsion forces be determined and it is cumbersome to move with them  hen. Thus, such a composite magnet not easily disassembled and assembled and manipu be lated.

In any case, conventional single magnets or composite magnets, which according to the above be procedures were composed, repulsion forces between the surfaces of the same type , whereas attractive forces between surfaces different types rule when the two single magnets treated indiscriminately. This means that if the Number of individual magnets that are combined which, as it grows, assembly becomes increasingly difficult. With in other words if strong attraction or a large magnetic force effective range are required, the Dealing with the individual magnets is becoming increasingly difficult. If a magnet is used as a magnetic therapy device for medi Interesting treatment is used, it is general Practice a pair or set of compound Magnets, each consisting of a plurality of individual magnets exist to use the therapeutic effect receive. In such a case, individual magnets are suitable neter combined with each other or ge from each other triggers to assemble strong magnetic forces each lent magnet or around an effective area (Contact area) to get the specific be necessary application is suitable. Therefore are repulsive or Attractive forces between the individual magnets strong and the handling of the individual magnets will still be more difficult. In many cases, magnetic Thera Pie devices used by people whose visual acuity has already waned and the relatively small body have strength, such as B. old people. Therefore, it is for such people difficult, the individual magnets with each other to combine those that are heavy and strong repulsive or attraction and there is a risk that they accidentally touch fingers, hands or their skin  Pinch the individual magnets. Therefore, it was so far always the desire to remove a magnetic therapy device wrap that is easy to handle. The present Embodiment of the present invention solves all these problems previously encountered with conventional magnetic Therapy devices were available.

If a plurality of composite magnets according to of the present embodiment used in one sentence the magnets will grow to the required size put together, one after the other like this be combined that the corresponding surfaces with brought the same area into contact with each other so that they get dressed and hold to each other.

The essential feature of the composite magnets according to this embodiment is that there are always attraction forces between opposing surfaces of two magnets and no repulsive forces are present, regardless of which sides of the magnets face each other, as long as these surfaces are those with the same area . The principle on which the present embodiment is based is easy to understand. When two composite magnets, each of which is the smallest unit, are assembled as four magnets of the same configuration and are arranged side by side with the surfaces of the same area facing each other, the north and south pole faces are alternated around the center of each composite Arranged magnets around and even if this is rotated by 180 ° within the same plane, the arrangement of the Polstirnflä chen does not change. In other words, there is no change in circumstances. Thus, when these composite magnets are brought into contact with each other, they always attract and adhere to each other because the north and south pole faces are always opposite to each other regardless of the orientation of each magnet. Although the other two different types of surfaces are not perpendicular to the orientation of the magnetic field, two surfaces of the same type are in a similar north and south relationship. Thus, when two composite magnets on these surfaces are brought into contact with each other (the surfaces with the same area), these surfaces inevitably attract and adhere to each other. However, in the case of two composite magnets, in which the four magnets are combined in such a way that the north and south poles are arranged in mirror image (i.e. axisymmetric) to one another, these composite magnets magnetically attract one another but also repel one another and do not align with one another out. Thus, when a plurality of composite magnets according to this embodiment are used in one set, it is preferable to form this set of composite magnets each composed of individual magnets that have been combined in point symmetry with each other. In the case in which composite magnets of this design are assembled three-dimensionally, ie in the X , Y and Z directions, the surfaces being aligned with the same area along the same plane, pole faces with opposite polarities are necessarily opposite one another and thus attract the magnets and adhere to each other without any repulsive forces acting between them.

Thus, the composite magnets according to this Embodiment the unique property that it always attract and stick to each other and no repulsive forces act between them. Thus a Magnet according to this embodiment in many applications use cases. More specifically, the composite magnets according to this embodiment can turn much better than conventional magnets  be set, e.g. B. as a connection, holding and clamping facility for industrial application, learning aids, Toys, sports equipment, etc. If one continues composite magnet according to this embodiment used for example as a magnetic therapy device the degree of attraction and size of the magnetic field as a function of a be agreed application area and purpose as desired be put and it's easy to put the single magnets handle when an entire magnet is put together, disassembled or is removed. So that's the magnetic Thera Piegerät very practical to use. The together set magnet according to this embodiment can be in various other use cases long, as already explained.

Regarding what can be used in this embodiment Magnets have no restrictions and all are normal Magnets commonly used on the market can be sold are used, for example ferrite magnets, Alnico-Ma gnete and magnets that contain rare earths. Under the latter are particularly advantageous because they have strong magnetic forces and it is therefore possible to Reduce size. Also regarding the size of the Single magnets have no restrictions as long as the Size still allows manufacture, so the size of the Individual magnets depending on the individual application can be selected as desired. However, if the If the size of the individual magnets becomes too large, the loading can decrease rich within which they combine with each other can be renated to the required magnetic force to obtain. Hence the size of the individual magnets preferably in the range of a few millimeters to egg a few tens of millimeters.

The composite magnet according to this embodiment the present invention is particularly advantageous as  magnetic therapy device can be used, because it ver various existing problems and disadvantages be circumvented. There is no restriction here regarding the size of each of the four individual magnets and the size of the individual magnets can be chosen that it is suitable for the particular treatment. If for example the part of the body to be treated, on which the Device is to be put on, is extremely small, it is preferable to use a composite magnet use as small as possible. If this is the case Device is placed on the part of the body to be treated, which is slightly larger than the one mentioned above, it is possible to deal directly with this situation, by adding an appropriate number of additional individual magnets added to the already assembled magnet until a suitable size has been achieved, which in Use is very pleasant and beneficial. If the me part of the body to be treated medically is relatively large or if a magnet is needed that is a relatively large one A suitable number can have contact surface of combined or made up of individual magnets composite magnets can be combined, so that it is possible to determine the number of individual magnets must be used to reduce. Because in any case the composite magnet according to this embodiment having a plurality of magnetic circuits, the Magnet a stronger magnetic field and thus a stronger one attraction than a single magnet of the same Size. In other words, by the same degree of Ma To achieve gnet strength is according to the present Er Finding reduces the area needed, which is from a economic point of view is very advantageous.

In the event that the assembled magnets according to this fifth embodiment as magnetic therapy device, it is advantageous to enable it lichen, the center of the magnet easily recognizable  if the device is in contact with the affected part of the body Plant is brought in as many people who have such Use devices that are old people, some of them only still have poor eyesight. A plurality can be used for this of small protrusions on the back of the device, d. H. opposite the contact surface and close to the center the combination of the individual magnets are attached, so that the center or center of the device is easily recognized can be and the device exactly in the system with the agent can be brought to the affected part of the body. This training is particularly effective when a Plurality of composite magnets, each of which consists of four individual magnets, horizontally together is set and the contact surface is therefore relatively large becomes. There is no limit to the number the ledges, but it turned out to be it is advantageous to arrange four projections in the middle. The provision of such projections offers another another advantage. In many cases it can be difficult be stacked, assembled magnets separate from each other so that by providing the Advantages of separating stacked magnets is very relieved. If such projections on the Contact surface to be attached and to be acting body part is pressed, the therapy point thereby stimulated, which is a beneficial ef effect that is similar to that in Be description of the fourth embodiment has been explained. The projections are preferably rounded in the form of a deten cone with a diameter of about 2 to 4 mm and a height of approximately 1 to 2 mm. There there are obviously the type of formation of the projections no restrictions. For example, this can be done before jumps on a protective component, e.g. B. an aluminum be formed layer, which a composite Magnets covers, so that the projections on a festge placed position can be arranged. The protective structure  part itself is preferably with a plastic material or the like coated.

A composite magnet according to the present Aus The guide form consists of four individual magnets other by means of generally known methods or Method according to the second embodiment are. More specifically, it is advantageous to have a procedure to use, in which the individual magnets with each other under Use an adhesive to bond or a ver drive to use where the magnets with a Layer of non-magnetizable material, e.g. B. rust free steel, aluminum, an aluminum alloy tion, copper or a copper-containing alloy to be covered or to use a method in which the Cover the magnets by covering them with a protective component which are made of plastic, rubber, leather, Paper or fabric can exist. Examples of art Fabrics and rubbers were already in the description of the first embodiment.

The protective component can come in many different forms be used. The easiest way for users a non-magnetizable material as a protective structure part is covering the entire composite Magnets with this material. The coating reinforces the Magnets and prevents damage during the Handling and also allows a pleasant touch feeling when applied to the skin, so that the Thera pie operation is advantageously simplified.

Furthermore, it is also possible to do various other things to use train methods such. B. metal plating or spinal sintering or an admission procedure under Use of a protective component as in the description of the first embodiment.  

Furthermore, it is in the making of the composite law th magnet according to this fifth embodiment Lich, a film, a layer or the like one magnetically permeable material, such as. B. iron, Nickel, cobalt, or alloys therefrom between each Pair of adjacent individual magnets, which together set magnets to interpose to the to increase magnetic flux density at the contact surface hen and reinforce the magnet.

A composite magnet according to a sixth prak tables embodiment of the present invention a prime number of magnets on that essentially are rectangular and parallel to the surface where the corresponding surfaces of the magnets, the lower right to the direction of magnetization are the same shape and who combined the magnets with each other that the north and south pole faces alternately are arranged. In another embodiment, a Most of these magnets are three-dimensional put together to make another compound Ma to form. More specifically, it becomes a prime number (2, 3, 5, 7 etc.) of magnets of the same shape combined that the north and south pole faces al are arranged in ternary order, as in the later ing the description of the figures is explained in more detail.

It is also possible to have a single rectangular, to magnetize surface parallel magnets in such a way that North and south pole faces are arranged alternately to thus making a magnet that has the same on construction, like the composite Ma described above gnet. This alternative is therefore also from the previous one lying invention detected.

In the case where a plurality of composite Magnets according to the sixth embodiment with the above  described training is used as a sentence can the assembled magnets together be combined that if their corresponding Ober are of the same type, d. H. the same area and these surfaces are in contact with each other brought in, they inevitably get dressed and none There are repulsive forces in between.

In the case of this embodiment, if a prime number of rectangular, surface-parallel individual magnets arranged in a row will usually be two different types of combination of magnetic poles ge forms. If these two different types of station wagon nations by means of facilities to be described can be made distinguishable from each other on are handled in the same way as together set magnet according to the fifth embodiment, the consists of four individual magnets.

Since each assembled magnet is rectangular and flat parallel, it has three different pairs of Surface types. If in the case of the present Aus the two magnets put together which side of the Ma If you are opposed to each other, there is always an attraction force between the corresponding surfaces Plant were brought together as long as this waiter are of the same type. It's commonly known, that two magnets inevitably either attract or repel depending on how the polarity is directed is, but in the case of the present embodiment always look at two magnets and no repulsive forces act between them when two different ones together set magnets that are made distinguishable from each other have been combined. So it is possible to assemble the magnets according to this easy to use.  

If a plurality of composite magnets according to the sixth embodiment used in a sentence the magnets are put together to the required size set by combining them in this way one after the other be that the corresponding surfaces with the same Kind of be planted together so that they dress as described above.

The property of the composite magnet according to this embodiment is that always between two opposite surfaces ner types of combinations of magnetic poles attraction There are forces and there are no repulsive forces, not pay attention to which sides of the magnets are facing each other as long as these surfaces have the same surface chen type. The basic principle of this execution form is as follows: If two compound Ma gnete, each of which forms a smallest unit and from a prime number of magnets of the same structure is to be arranged side by side, with Ober faces of the same kind are opposite each other North and south pole surfaces inevitably alternate arranges and when a rotation through 180 ° in the same Placement takes place, the arrangement of the pole faces is the same as before the rotation. So if these two too Assembled magnets in such a way in plant are brought, the pole faces with opposite Po opposite to each other (which is achieved by means of the above described differentiators will) always dress and stick to each other. Although the other two different types of waiters surfaces not perpendicular to the orientation of the magnetic field are two surfaces of the same type (i.e. the same area) in the North and South Pole relationship similar to each other. So if these surfaces are in each other Plant, they always dress and cling to each other. To make a distinction between the  two different types of combinations prefer, for example, different colors the corresponding upper surfaces of the individual magnets apply, as later in the figure description is explained so as to be able to differentiate create so that a plurality of composite Ma can easily be combined.

When these two different types of composite magnets are used as single magnets and are combined three-dimensionally, ie in the X , Y and Z directions, the composite magnets always attract each other when they are along the same plane with their corresponding ones Surfaces of the same type are arranged opposite one another and without errors in the alignment, so that it is possible to form a composite magnet of a desired size. It is also possible to use the composite magnet thus obtained as a unit and in turn combine a plurality of such composite magnets to form an even larger composite magnet. In particular, if each of the individual magnets has a pair of pole faces on each of its sides, a pair of such single magnets can be combined to form a composite magnet having four pole faces on each of its sides and a larger composite magnet can be formed by Such composite magnets can in turn be used as individual magnets. In such a case it is necessary to use differentiation means, as already explained above.

Thus, when the discriminating means are provided, the composite magnet according to the sixth embodiment can be handled and used in the same way as the composite magnet according to the fifth embodiment. For example, the composite magnet according to this embodiment can be used as a magnetic therapy device. If several different types of individual magnets with surfaces of the same type, e.g. B. 1 mm ² , 2 mm ² and 3 mm ² or 1 cm ² , 2 cm ² and 3 cm ^{2 are} prepared to produce a magnet that has a suitable contact surface depending on the area of the body part to be treated, it is possible to combine a suitable number of individual magnets with each other, so that it is possible to minimize the total number of individual magnets.

In any case, since the composite magnet according to the sixth embodiment, a plurality of magnetic circuits has, it is possible to use stronger magnetic forces and thus stronger attraction as in the case of a single measure to generate the same size. With other wor to achieve the same magnetic strength, the Area to be reduced, which is economically forth is advantageous.

Since the assembled magnets according to this embodiment have magnetic circuits which differ from those of the assembled magnets according to the fifth embodiment, which consist of four individual magnets, even better therapeutic effects can be produced, as is also illustrated in the therapy examples described later , although the function mechanism of the present invention had not yet been fully clarified at the time of registration. The composite magnet according to this embodiment, which forms one unit, is composed of a prime number of individual magnets, and two different types of combinations of magnetic pole faces are inevitably generated, as has been explained. If, for example, three individual magnets are combined with one another, two different types of combinations of pole faces, ie NSN and SNS, must somehow be effectively differentiated from one another. For example, if two different colors ver. B. red and white for N and S on the alternating upper surfaces of the individual magnets, with the upper surfaces perpendicular to the direction of magnetization, the various types of combinations can be easily distinguished from one another by considering the upper surfaces. If a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped body is put down with the underside facing up, the other type of pole face appears on the upper side of the parallel-face body and it is therefore sufficient to mark only one type of individual magnet. It is a common practice in the handling of single magnets that they are divided into two groups after manufacture and the two groups are marked accordingly with two different colors (e.g. only the north pole surface is marked alone or the north and Südpolflä chen are marked with two different colors) and when the individual magnets are then combined to form a unit, they are covered with a transparent protective part. If an opaque protective part is used, it is preferable not to cover the entire assembled magnet, but to leave one side free of the protective part to make a distinction. In addition to using different colors, it is possible to use other differentiation options, for example a recess or a projection only on the north pole face.

The individual magnets can be combined into one unit be summarized by using the possibilities be that in the description of the first to fifth Embodiment have been explained, for example the possibility of using an adhesive to the combi secure the individual magnets. Can continue different types of protective parts are used to to reinforce the composite magnet and also to  the ability to give the magnet soft on the skin of the body part to be treated so that the Therapy process is advantageously supported, as already in the description of the previous embodiment games mentioned. In addition, it is possible to have various to use other coating options, such as B. Me tall plating, mixed plating and fluidized bed, and also recording options using a protection component to use, as in the description of the he most to fifth embodiment explained.

In the sixth embodiment, it is particularly easy combine the individual magnets into one unit and the combined single magnets, which are already with sub divorce agents have been provided with a trans parent cover or a protective part. Among the most diverse options for application the protective part is the application of a transparent Plastic powder by means of vortex sintering in particular subject. When using an opaque protective part it is a distinction between the two different types is necessary of composite magnets. In each Case must always be considered, like the distinction cannot be covered by the protective part.

A plate magnet according to a seventh embodiment of the The present invention consists of a magnet with im substantial plate-like shape, the magnet in a direction perpendicular to its surface like this is magnetized that a plurality of north and south Pole surfaces arranged alternately on this surface are. In an alternative embodiment, a Most of these plate magnets each as individual magnets used and then stacked on top of each other to make one to form a composite plate magnet.

The magnetic pole faces can thereby be formed  that either individual plate magnets of the same shape can be combined with each other or a single one Plate magnet is magnetized separately, so that a Plurality of magnetic poles formed on its surface will. More specifically, the magnetic pole faces can by using a plurality of single plate sizes gneten the same polygonal shape, z. B. Dreiec square, rectangular, square, rhombic, parallelogram be formed like or hexagonal. It is also possible to combine single plate magnets with each other, that have different shapes. At the seventh out a plate magnet by a plurality divided by boundary lines so that the divided Regions are arranged around a point. Thus be there is no particular restriction on the Shaping the magnetic pole faces and it is possible Lich to achieve a variety of shapes, z. B. polygonal, circular, elliptical and toroidal. Wei furthermore it is possible to have a plurality of individual plat to combine with each other, provided that that they are able to create a magnetic pole face certain shape completely and it is also possible to get a single plate magnet get 72172 00070 552 001000280000000200012000285917206100040 0002003730077 00004 72053 magnetize so that a plurality of magnetic poles ent stands.

In the case where a plurality of plate magnets according to this embodiment used in a set the, with at least two of these plate magnets the same Shapes stacked on top of each other always work Attractive forces between the magnets, regardless of which Sides of the magnets brought into contact with each other the. Even if the two plate magnets are not have the same shape, they always dress and cling to each other and no repulsive forces act between them, provided that the boundary lines between the north and south poles are aligned.  

Although it is a well known fact that two Magnets inevitably attract or repel, pull two plate magnets according to this embodiment always mutually and adhere to each other and no Ab impact forces act between them, which is a remarkable worthy phenomenon. So if a plurality of Plate magnets according to the seventh embodiment is used to form a stack, it is possible the required degree of magnetic force and attraction simply by getting them to the one you want Number to be stacked on top of each other. If two plates magnets are always brought together, attract forces between them, regardless of which Sides of the magnets in contact with each other the.

Thus, when the plate magnets according to the seventh embodiment form are always brought together stick to each other and no repulsive forces act between them, regardless of which magnetic pole forehead surfaces of the magnets provided that the plate magnets are the same Have shape or the boundary lines between the dimensions Magnetic poles of the magnets are aligned. The principle this phenomenon can be explained as follows: If two Magnets with the same structure in contact with each other the most stable results System energy state usually when opposite poles (north and south poles) against each other overlying surfaces in close contact with each other are. So if the north and south poles face each other are placed on top of each other, they get dressed and adhere to each other and stabilize the two magnets yourself in this steady state. So if North and South pole faces of two individual magnets with the same opening construction towards each other, they get dressed and  stabilize slowly. On the other hand, if the same Magnetic pole faces, d. H. North Poles or the South Poles others are moved, they repel each other and never come into close contact with each other, so that cannot stabilize the two magnets. If in in this case one of the two magnets is movable, rotates he is 180 ° and the opposite pole faces of the the two magnets attract each other and come closer together System with each other so that the magnets stabilize can. In other words, both the repulsion and the forces of attraction act in this way, the two Ma to bring in the most stable state.

In the plate magnet according to the seventh embodiment, a plurality of north and south poles are alternately arranged on the plate surface. If the magnetic pole surfaces of two plate magnets are thus moved towards each other, no repulsive forces act to turn one of the magnets by 180 °, rather the plate magnets move in a plane parallel to the magnetic pole surfaces and then slowly stabilize in close proximity to one another the position in which the opposite poles face each other. In other words, the plate magnets can be stacked on top of each other. In this case, if the magnetic pole surfaces have the same area and the number of north and south poles on the magnetic pole face increases, the opposite magnetic poles of the two plate magnets come into close contact with one another and stabilize themselves even better. If the number of north and south poles became infinite, the two plate magnets would be able to get into close contact with one another and into a stable state without moving relative to one another. For example, a disc-shaped plate magnet has the option of rotating through 360 ° / n (n = number of magnetic poles). More specifically, if the number of magnetic poles is 2, 4 and 8, the magnet can rotate a maximum of 180 °, 90 ° and 45 °. Thus, when n increases, the area within which the magnet can rotate decreases.

When the present seventh embodiment is put into practice there are no restrictions visually the shape of the magnetic pole surfaces and the various designs such as circular, elliptical, circular, square, rectangular, hexagonal and octagonal can be used. There are also no size and size restrictions Area of the magnetic pole surfaces, provided that these are still producible and the size of the individual measure gnete results from the individual applications. However, if the size of the magnetic pole faces is too large, however, the range within which they can be combined to create the required to obtain a degree of magnetic force. Thus lies the Diameter of the magnetic pole surfaces preferably in the range from a few millimeters to a few tens of millimeters. In In many cases, the size of the magnetic pole area is also limited by the use of the plate magnet itself, for medical treatments, crafts, games witnesses, household items, learning aids, clothing etc. can be used.

In the plate magnet according to the seventh embodiment there are no restrictions regarding the Shaping, provided that the magnet itself in the we is substantially plate-shaped. Usually the Plate magnet has a thickness that is less than half its radius is. Of course, a plat magnet that is as thin as a film or foil, practically useless. So it is necessary to have a plate size gnet to manufacture the size and strength for the be correct application is suitable.

If a circular or toroidal shape is formed for the magnetic pole surfaces of the plate magnet, it is advantageous to arrange the north and south pole surfaces alternately with respect to one another with respect to the center of the magnet. Such an arrangement allows the two plate magnets to attract each other very softly and come into close contact with each other, even if the number of magnetic poles is relatively small, so that this arrangement is particularly advantageous compared to other arrangements. There are no restrictions on the shape of the north and south poles, which define a plurality of poles. However, when a plate magnet is formed by combining a plurality of a single magnet, a shape that is divided by dividing a polygon such as a triangle, a square or a sector into n sections (n = even number) is advantageous. In the event that the magnetic pole surface is formed by divided magnetization, the structure described above is advantageous since it can be subjected to partial magnetization particularly easily.

The plate magnet according to the seventh embodiment of FIG The present invention is particularly advantageous as a ma genetic therapy device applicable because with it the ver various disadvantages that have existed to date can be walked.

More specifically, so far the most diverse Be methods of action proposed for magnet therapy and it is common practice in the proposed methods Lich, a single magnet with a north and a South Pole to use. With the simplest treatment measure the north pole of this single magnet on the Skin applied to the affected area and there attached with an adhesive tape or the like. However, since already the most diverse magnet therapy procedures and have also been examined, the  Opinion that a therapy procedure in which the north pole of a single magnet in contact with the Skin is brought to the part of the body concerned and the South pole of another single magnet near the north pole is also useful.

Thus, if the plate magnet according to the present Aus used as a magnetic therapy device this device has excellent therapeutic effects and is easy to use because of the contact surface of the magnet is formed by a magnetic pole surface which is arranged a plurality of north and south poles. As it is still possible, the intensity of the magne contact surface and the number of north and South Pole to adapt to the respective conditions the plate magnet is particularly effective in the magnet therapy pie.

Another major advantage of the plate magnet according to the seventh embodiment is that it as Substrate for a magnetic therapy device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention ver is reversible, in which the projecting area from one magnetic permeable material is formed. The plat tenmagnet according to the present embodiment, the forms a unit can be manufactured in that a single magnet is partially magnetized, namely the art that a plurality of north and south poles alternate rend is arranged on each magnetic pole side of the magnet and it is still possible to move the plate magnet through Combination of a plurality of individual magnets, each with an egg nem north and south poles so that the north and South poles alternately on each magnetic pole side are arranged. In this case, the individual magnets can be used each other into a unit by well-known procedures or be joined by one of the methods, the in the explanation of the previous embodiment  shapes have been mentioned. So it is possible in particular ders advantageously to use a method which the individual magnets use together Adhesive are connected or a process to ver turn, in which the magnets with a layer of a non-magnetizable material, such as. B. stainless Steel, aluminum, an aluminum-containing alloy, Copper or an alloy containing copper or use a method in which the Ma gnete be connected to each other in that they with a protective component made of plastic, rubber, leather, paper or covered with fabric. It is also possible various other covering methods such. B. metal plating, mixed plating and fluidized bed ver turn, just like picking up the magnets in one Protective component, as already in the description of the forthcoming embodiments explained.

Furthermore, it can be advantageous when building the Plate magnets according to the seventh embodiment Foil, layer or the like of a magnetic permeable material, such as. B. iron, nickel, cobalt and alloys therefrom between each pair of contig beard single magnets that form the plate magnet, bring and also the surfaces of the magnet with Exception of the contact surface with such a Fo lie, layer or the like to coat the ma to increase the magnetic flux density of the contact surface and to reinforce the composite magnet.

Thus, the plate magnets according to the seventh embodiment form of the present invention the unique Property that they always attract each other and no repulsive forces act between them. Therefore, the present embodiment in various Ge offer application. So the composite Magnet according to the seventh embodiment as a device  are used that are superior to conventional magnets is and z. B. for connecting, fastening and clamping in in industry, as learning aids, toys, sports equipment etc. are used. For example, the plat magnets instead of buttons, coat hooks or attachments Use detergent, attach clothing can be det by being trained accordingly, so that there are small children, the elderly or physically disabled possible people, clothing items easily shut down. In this case, two plate magnets come with each other in close contact without any offset since so probably the pull as well as the pull act at the same time, whereas with a pair of Single magnet is difficult, this without any false errors direction, even if have the same shape. This is an essential one Feature of the present embodiment and the plates magnet is therefore suitable for cases in which counter would always come into close contact with each other and in the must remain in the same position to each other. The Plate magnet is also advantageous as magneti cal therapy device can be used. Here, the Ma gnet that the magnetic force to a desired value for any purpose can be set and it is very one fold the magnet together, take it apart and stand out if he is a medical therapy device is set. There are also others than the ones above named areas of application possible.

Regarding the type of magnet in this version form there are no restrictions, d. H. the apply same conditions as the fifth and sixth Embodiment and it is possible to ver each magnet turn, which is well known and is available on the market is Lich how z. B. ferrite magnets, Alnico magnets, Ma gnete with rare earths and plastic magnets. Under these are special magnets with rare earths  advantageous because they have strong magnetic forces and it is therefore possible to reduce the size.

As is apparent from FIGS. 1 through 6, the magnetic schematic therapy device according to the first embodiment of the present invention consists of a pair of halves A and B, which have substantially the same shape and same size, each of the halves A and B a structure has, in which a magnet 1 with a strong magnetic force is received within a receiving area 3 of a protective component 2 such that a contact surface 4 of the magnet 1 is exposed. In this case, the contact surface 4 of one of the opposite halves A and B is the north pole, whereas the upper surface 4 of the other half forms the south pole. The upper surface of each protective component 2 on the side on which the contact surface 4 of the associated magnet 1 is exposed, is ausgebil det in the form of a flat surface 6 , so that the opposing contact surfaces 4 of the two magnets 1 are brought into close contact with one another can. As is apparent from Fig. 3, each contact surface 4 of the magnets 1 is arranged so that it protrudes slightly from the surface 6 of the protective member 2 , as illustrated by the reference numeral 5 , to the contact surfaces 4 easily with a body part to be treated bring so that when joining together the two halves A and B a gap between the surfaces 6 remains. Thus, it is advantageous to design the device so that when the pair of halves A and B are brought into contact with each other, a small air gap 7 remains between the protective components 2 , as shown in Fig. 4. The air gap 7 made it light, the magnets 1 easily in direct and tight position to bring each other due to the attractive forces between the magnets 1 . It is also possible to provide the arrangement according to FIG. 6. From here, a spacer 7 'is introduced into the air gap 7 , so that no gap between the surfaces 6 of the protective components 2 remains. In the arrangement of FIG. 5 are the Appendices geoberflächen 4 the magnets 1 of the protective members 2 slightly recessed with respect to the surfaces 6, so that these two surfaces form a small step. Thus, when the pair of protective components 2 are brought into contact with each other, the air gap 7 remains between the magnets 1 , as shown in FIG. 5. This gap 7 prevents damage to the magnets 1 , which can otherwise be caused if the magnets 1 collide due to their attractive force when the two halves A and B are joined together.

The mentioned pair of magnets with strong magnetic forces can be prismatic or different, so z. B. flat and plate-shaped or disc-shaped, the direction of magnetization and the pole faces must already be true. The protective components not only serve to protect the corresponding magnets, but also facilitate the handling of the entire device. Thus, it is advantageous to design the protective components so that they are easy to handle, but it is basically sufficient that the protective components are designed so that they protect the outer surfaces of the corresponding magnets with the exception of the contact surface. For example, the protective components can be prismatic, hemispherical or plate-shaped instead of the semi-cylindrical shape according to FIGS . 1 to 6. Although in the described embodiment each magnet has only one system surface that is not covered by the associated protective part, each magnet can also have two system surfaces. In this case, the pair of halves has the same structure, in which two contact surfaces are defined by north and south poles. The magnets and the protective components can be connected to one another by known means, for example by gluing.

The device according to the invention for magnetic therapy is used as follows:

The contact surface of a half 10 of the device, which consists of two magnets with strong magnetic forces, is pressed against a painful area 9 of the body 8 of a person against another half 10 ' , so that the strongest lines of magnetic force act on the affected area 9 , such as shown in Fig. 7. Instead of an arrangement in which the point 9 comes to rest between the points 10 and 10 ' , the halves 10 and 10' can also be arranged side by side, their surfaces being brought into contact with the point 9 , as in Fig illustrated. 8,. In any case, strong lines of magnetic force act on the affected area, so that complaints can be resolved very quickly. Physical complaints that can be eliminated with the magnetic therapy device are stiffness, general pain, tension, feelings of pressure etc. and the device can be used anywhere on the human body. Of course, a therapeutic effect is also generated when the device is placed on a therapy point and not directly on the affected part of the body.

The composite magnet that forms the magnetic Thera piegerät according to the second embodiment of the vorlie invention is formed by arranging a plurality of strong magnets such that the north and south poles are arranged alternately, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 12. In the example of FIG. 9, two high-performance magnets, which have substantially the same shape and size, are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction in such a way that the north pole of a magnet opposes the south pole of the other magnet. The magnetic therapy device, which consists of the two magnets be, is usually with a non-magnetizable metal coating z. B. made of stainless steel, aluminum or copper to protect the magnets and cover their surfaces, the surface of the cover in turn being coated with a plastic material. In this case, the combined magnets do not necessarily have to be essentially the same shape and size, but it is possible to use two magnets which have different dimensions, but the corresponding contact surfaces must be of the same size.

In the example according to FIG. 10, a composite magnet is formed in that two magnet units, which are each formed from two magnets according to FIG. 9, are arranged laterally next to one another.

The composite magnet of Fig. 11 is similarly formed by vertical arrangement of two units in a manner just mentioned. This arrangement is suitable for use when a pair of such composite magnets are used to interpose the body part concerned.

Fig. 12 shows another example in which the composite magnet is formed of four units to further increase the magnetic force.

The magnetic therapy device according to the present invention can also be formed in that magnets with strong magnetic forces are combined with one another in the most varied of ways, these combination possibilities going beyond the representations according to FIGS . 9 to 12. In any case, it is preferable to create an optimal arrangement depending on the needs. There are no restrictions on the type of combinations of individual magnets with each other, as well as the shape and size of the assembled magnet, provided that the final structure and size of the device are still useful.

In many cases, each of the magnet units is with one Cover to assemble the assembled magnets secure and protect as previously described.

It is also possible to obtain a structure in which, as shown in FIGS . 13 to 15, the Hochlei stungsmagnet 1 is included within the receiving area 3 of the protective member 2 such that the Anla gefläche 4 remains free. In this case, the magnet 1 can be connected to the receiving area 3 of the protective component 2 in a known manner, for example by gluing.

In the magnetic therapy device according to the present invention, the use of two magnets in a pair as shown in Fig. 1 is even more effective, and in such a case, it is necessary that the opposing abutting surfaces of the two magnets have opposite polarities . In this case, the surface of each protective component 2 on the side on which the contact surface 4 of the associated magnet 1 is freely formed in the form of a flat surface 6 , so that the opposing contact surfaces 4 of the two magnets 1 in close contact can be brought together.

Instead of the semi-cylindrical shape shown the protective components also z. B. prismatic, hemispherical mig or plate-shaped. Although described in the  Embodiment each magnet has only one contact surface has that is not of the associated protective component covered, each magnet can also have two contact surfaces Chen have. In this case, the pair faces completely identical structure. The magnets and the protective structure Depending on the application, parts can be processed using suitable processes connected case, z. B. using a Adhesive. However, it is beneficial to use them together directly or indirectly using fastening screws to connect, as this results in a higher holding force is possible and the protective components and / or Magnets are interchangeable.

In the arrangements according to FIGS . 14 and 5, the contact surface 4 of the magnet 1 is set back relative to the surface 6 of the protective component 2 , so that a small gap is formed between these two surfaces. It is advantageous to design the device so that when the two components lie against one another, a small air gap 7 remains between the magnets 1 , as shown in FIG. 5. This gap 7 prevents damage to the magnets 1 , which could otherwise occur if they bump hard against each other due to their attractive forces.

If the contact surface 4 of the magnet 1 projects slightly from the surface 6 of the protective component 2 , as shown in FIGS. 15 and 6, or if the surfaces 4 and 6 lie in one plane, a spacer can be interposed so that the air gap 7 is produced.

Although in the described embodiment, each of the Magnet has a prismatic shape, the magnet can too be designed differently, such. B. flat, plate-shaped with an already determined direction of magnetization. The Protective components not only protect the corresponding dimensions  gnete, but also facilitate the handling of the device tes. It is therefore advantageous to use the protective components in this way train that are easy to use, taking it however, the protective components are generally sufficient train that they correspond to the outer surfaces of the Protect the appropriate magnet.

The magnetic therapy device according to the present Er is used as follows:

The relatively large contact surface 11 of the magnetic therapy device is pressed slightly against the area 9 of the human body 8 to be treated. In contrast to conventional magnetic therapy devices, the therapy device according to the present invention has north and south poles, which are arranged alternately along the surface of the system, so that magnetic Kraftli lines act more strongly on the human body, so that the magnet therapy within a short period of time becomes effective, with the combination of the use of a large system surface still being present.

In the event that a pair of magnetic therapy devices are used in a set, the system surface 11 of a magnetic therapy device is easily held against the affected body part 9 of the human body 8 against the contact surface of the other magnetic therapy device 10 ' , so that the strongest lines of magnetic force act on the affected body part 9 , as shown in FIG. 7. Instead of an arrangement in which the affected body part 9 is enclosed between the two halves, a pair of magnetic therapy devices 10 and 10 ' can also be arranged side by side, the contact surfaces being in contact with the affected body part 9 , as shown in FIG. 8 shown.

In any case, strong lines of magnetic force act on the  affected part of the body, so that discomfort in the body can be fixed very quickly. Physical Complaints caused by the magnetic therapy device of the present invention can be resolved Stiffness, general pain, numbness, Feelings of pressure etc. and the device can be used to Fix discomfort on every part of the body. Farther there is also a therapeutic effect in that the device is placed on an associated therapy point and not directly on the affected part of the body.

A composite high-performance magnet constituting a magnetic therapy device according to the third embodiment of the present invention consists of a plurality of high-performance magnets arranged in a row in the magnetization direction so that the same poles of each pair of adjacent magnets are opposed to each other, one being magnetic permeable material is interposed, as shown in Figs. 18 (A) and 18 (B).

In the arrangement of FIG. 18 (A) a plurality of high-performance magnet 1 having substantially the same shape and size in a row in the direction of magnetization is arranged, wherein a magnetically permeable material 2 inserted between each pair of adjacent magnet 1 is introduced. In this case, the cross section of the magnetically permeable material 2 is usually substantially the same as that of the magnet 1 .

In the arrangement shown in FIG. 18 (A), the composite magnet is formed by arranging a series of five high performance magnets of the same shape with four magnetically permeable materials each between a pair of adjacent magnets, the magnetically permeable material having the same cross section as that Magnets. In this case, there is no special restriction on the size of the high-performance magnets, provided that these can still be produced. Furthermore, each of the magnets does not necessarily have the same dimensions, but it is only necessary that the magnets have essentially the same cross section. This also applies to the magnetically permeable materials. More specifically, all the materials used do not necessarily have to have the same dimensions, but it is preferable to arrange the magnetically permeable materials so that the magnetic flux density on the surface of each material is below the saturation level.

Fig. 18 (B) shows a magnetic therapy device that can be paired with the device of Fig. 18 (A). The ma-magnetic therapy apparatus according to FIG. 18 (B) is com bination of high performance magnets 3 and magnetically permeable material 4 so formed that the respective magnets opposite 3 of the two devices shown in FIGS. 18 (A) and 18 (B) each Magnetpolari activities to have. In use, each of the magnetic therapy devices is usually coated with a non-magnetizable metal such as. B. stainless steel, aluminum or copper coated to secure the magnets and the magnetically permeable materials and protect the surface of the device, the upper surface of the cover is in turn coated with a plastic material. Usually, each of the magnetic therapy devices shown in Figs. 18 (A) and 18 (B) can be used alone, but paired use is even more effective.

The magnetic therapy device according to this embodiment form may have a structure in which the magnet 1 put together is received in a receiving area 3 of a protective component 2 such that the system surface 4 is three, as shown in FIGS . 1 and 2. In this case, the assembled magnet 1 can be held in the receiving area 3 of the protective component 2 by means of known methods, for example by using an adhesive.

The paired use of two magnetic therapeutic devices according to FIGS . 14, 3, 4 and 5 is much more effective and in such a case it is necessary that the opposing contact surfaces of the two devices have opposite polarities. In this case, the surface of each protective component 2 is formed on the side on which the contact surface 4 of the associated magnet 1 is exposed in the form of a flat surface 6 , so that the opposing contact surfaces 4 of the two magnets 1 are in close proximity to one another can be brought.

In the arrangements according to FIGS . 14 and 5, the system surface 4 of the high-performance magnet 1 is slightly set back relative to the surface 6 of the protective component 2 , so that a small air gap is formed between these two surfaces. It is namely advantageous to design the device so that when the pair of protective components are in contact with one another, the air gap 7 remains between the magnets 1 , as shown in FIG. 5. This gap 7 prevents damage to the magnets 1 when they are attracted to one another by their attractive force and collide with one another.

If the contact surface 4 of the magnet 1 protrudes slightly from the surface 6 of the protective member 2 , as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, or if the contact surfaces 4 and 6 lie in one plane, a spacer can be interposed, so that the Air gap 7 is formed, as shown in Fig. 6.

Although in the described embodiment, each of the  High performance magnets can have prismatic shape the magnet can also be configured differently, for example in the form of a flat plate on which the magnetisie direction has already been determined. The protection Components not only serve to protect the corresponding ones Magnets, but also facilitate the handling of the Ge advises. It is therefore advantageous to use the protective components train that they are comfortable to use, though basically sufficient to train the protective components that they are the outer surfaces of the corresponding Can protect magnets. The protective components can for example a prismatic, hemispherical or plat ten-shaped shape instead of the semi-cylindrical Shaping according to the described embodiment ha ben.

The following is the application of the magnetic Thera Piegerätes described according to this embodiment:

Usually, the relatively large contact surface 11 of the magnetic therapy device 10 is pressed slightly against the affected body part 9 of the human body 8 , as shown in FIG. 19. In contrast to conventional magnetic therapy devices in the device according to this embodiment, the north and south poles are alternately formed on the contact surface, the magnetically permeable areas being interposed, so that the magnetic lines of force can act even more strongly on the body part that the magnetic therapy works within a short period of time, where the combination with the large system surface is an additional factor. In the event that a pair of magnetic therapy devices is used in a set, the contact surface 11 of a magnetic therapy device 10 is pressed slightly against the affected part 9 of the body 8 , the contact surface of the other magnetic therapy device 10 'being opposite, so that the strongest Magnetic force lines act on the affected part 9 , as shown in Fig. 7. Instead of an arrangement in which the affected part of the body comes to rest between the magnets, the pair of magnetic therapy devices 10 and 10 'can also be arranged side by side, so that the corresponding system surfaces come into contact with the affected part 9 , as shown in Fig. 8.

FIGS. 20 and 21 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention, ie, a magnetic therapy device with a disk-shaped abutment surface. In this embodiment, four conical projecting poles 1 , which alternately form north and south poles, are formed on the contact surface. The tip of each ko African projecting pole 1 is slightly rounded to weaken the stimulation of the skin of the human body somewhat. In the example according to FIG. 20, the position area which has the projecting poles 1 is formed by a magnet which is formed in one piece. However, this structure can also be achieved by combining two individual magnets, each with a pair of north and south poles. In the illustrated embodiment, a mild steel plate 2 , which is thus a magnetizable material, is connected to the bottom surface of the magnet to increase the magnetic flux density in the vicinity of the projecting poles 1 , which are brought into contact with the human body.

In the example of FIG. 21 has the magnetic Thera piegerät substantially the same structure as in the case of play of Fig. 20, ie, the machine has four in front of salient poles 1, which constitute the region in contact with the human body is brought, ie the area which has the projecting poles 1 is made of mild steel, ie a magnetizable material. Ferrite magnets and rare earth magnets that are commonly used are sintered magnets, making them fragile and difficult to machine. Thus, if the device is composed of two sections, ie a disc-shaped sintered magnet section and a projecting pole region, which are formed separately from one another, the projecting pole region, which is more difficult to manufacture, can advantageously be made using a magnetizable material such as e.g. B. iron or an iron-containing alloy are formed, which is a simplification in terms of production. In this case, the base 2 is made of a rare earth magnet.

Fig. 22 shows a further embodiment, in which the contact surface consists of six protruding magnetic poles 1 , each of which has the shape of a truncated cone or a pyramid with a square base, the poles 1 being arranged so that they alternately form north and south poles . This embodiment is formed by combining six individual magnets, each with a north or south pole.

When using the magnetic therapy device Single magnets with a pair of north and south poles is formed in such a way that it is reliable in its application big put together and taken apart again can, it is possible to increase the number of individual magnets vary in order to the respective treatment status of the affected part of the body to be adapted to what particular which is advantageous.

Fig. 23 shows an example in which protruding magnetic poles 1 , which form the abutment area, are formed of a magnetically permeable material, whereas a base 2 is formed against a rare earth magnet. In this example, a plurality of protrusions in combination form the north and south poles, respectively.

FIG. 24 shows an example of the application of the magnet for medical treatment, the reference numeral 1 denoting the magnet, reference numeral 2 denoting the protrusions, reference numeral 3 an adhesive tape and reference numeral 4 a human body.

Fig. 25 shows the smallest unit that is used to form a composite magnet according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The unit consists of four rectangular magnets with the same shape and parallel to the surface. The four magnets are arranged such that north and south poles are alternately arranged around the center of the unit in a plane perpendicular to the direction of magnetization, as shown. Fig. 26 shows a composite magnet, which is formed by horizontally combining two unit magnets of the type shown in FIG. 25. Fig. 27 shows a composite magnet according to the vorlie invention, which is formed by vertically stacking two unit magnets according to FIG. 25. FIG. 28 shows a composite magnet which is formed by a combination of a total of four unit magnets according to FIG. 25 both in the horizontal and in the vertical direction.

The present invention enables the ge wanted composite magnet by suitable Ver bind is formed by unit magnets, their same surfaces face each other as Darge poses. With a composite magnet this up construction, with composite unit magnets such as ge wants to be put together, and same surfaces opposing each other, there is always an attraction.  

Figs. 29 to 32 show schematically simplified diagram practical examples of application of the composite Ma gnetes therapy according to the fifth embodiment in a magnet.

Fig. 29 shows an example in which two composite unit magnets, each of which consists of four magnets be ( Fig. 25) from both sides are brought into contact with the body part concerned. In this case, the two assembled magnets are always inevitably arranged such that attractive forces prevail between them, so that there is no possibility that the body part concerned will lie between two surfaces that magnetically repel each other.

Fig. 30 shows one way in which the affected body part between a pair of composite Ma gnets of the type shown in FIG. Comes to rest 27, that between two composite magnet of the type according to Fig. 29. Fig. 31 shows the way in which a composite magnet according to FIG. 26 is used, where the assembled magnet is covered with a protective component in order to combine the individual magnets into one unit. In this case, small projections near the center of the assembled magnet are ausgebil det, so that even a person with poor eyesight can recognize the center position of the device or magnet. Fig. 32 shows an example in which four composite magnets of the type shown in FIG. 25 are used such that two stacks of 2 magnets are arranged side by side.

As described, the composite magnet makes it possible according to this embodiment that individual magnets can be made in which type, size and magnet can be freely selected using the magnets. So it is possible Lich, the scope of magnetism, the strength of the  Select magnetic force etc. depending on the purpose and need len. In addition, the individual magnets can be used as desired are put together and separated from each other and are easy to use so that the assembled magnet can be used very advantageously according to this embodiment is.

Fig. 33 shows the smallest unit of a composite magnet according to another embodiment of the present invention, that is, a magnet consisting of two individual magnets. The broken line on the north pole is intended to indicate that a color different from the color of the south pole is applied to this surface. Fig. 34 shows a composite magnet which is formed by a horizontal combination of two individual magnets of the type shown in FIG. 33, ie the two individual magnets are arranged side by side.
