Irradiation booth equipped with a large number of black light lamps

For the treatment of various skin diseases, especially psoriasis (psoriasis), a Irradiation with black light lights, mostly black light blue lights called, applied, the skin of the patient previously taken by drugs that are taken as dragees or applied to the skin as a solution, has been highly photosensitized to long-wave UV radiation. Suitable medicaments are, for example, commercially available under the registered trademark Eeladinine · To obtain In order to be successful in healing, very high irradiation intensities must generally be applied and the Irradiations are regularly repeated over a longer period of time. The patient's photosensitized skin however, it is extremely sensitive to the long wave

UV radiation from black light lamps, which is why it is already at Slightly exceeding the radiation intensity or radiation duration -ee- severe skin burns occur can. In general, the patient must first be in a proportionate way be pretreated in a weak radiation field before being exposed to the intense actual therapeutic radiation · After repeated irradiations, many patients show a strong immunization, so the irradiation intensity still needs to be increased. Successful application of this treatment procedure implies Therefore, an irradiation device precedes that a variation of the irradiation intensity as well as the position and arrangement of the lights relative to the patient A variation can be achieved by switching certain lights on or off in groups, but the practical one has Experience has shown that this possibility of variation is not sufficient · It would be conceivable with individual or in groups for displaceable irradiation units that are required in each case Establishing the irradiation field, however, would be such a way of working very cumbersome and required such extensive instructions to the medical assistants that they were considered operational Working method is out of the question.

The invention is based on the task of creating a generic irradiation cabin in which to a large extent and irradiation intensity and irradiation distances can be selected and adjusted in a precise, reproducible manner, whereby the cabin should also be characterized by an inexpensive and stable structure.

The task of the invention is based on an irradiation booth equipped with a large number of black light lamps solved in that the cabin is divided by a partition into two chambers, of which the first chamber at all four vertical walls are each equipped with only a few lights, while the second chamber has two opposite one another Vertical walls are each equipped with a larger number of lights and the distance between them Vertical walls is adjustable o It is expedient here the partition wall equipped with lights on both sides and the opposite vertical wall of the second chamber can be moved or movably mounted. According to the invention, the first chamber preferably has a lamp equipped with height adjustable ceiling.

As extensive practical tests have shown, everyone can use the irradiation cabin according to the invention necessary irradiation conditions are created and this in a clearly reproducible manner, whereby

only a few instructions need to be given to the support staff for the individual case. The first chamber is first and foremost designed as a pretreatment chamber, although the lights for head irradiation to which in particular the lips respond extremely sensitively, are arranged adjustable in the first chamber, so that the intensity the head irradiation can be continuously changed within wide limits up to an intensive therapeutic irradiation. Appropriately are in the first chamber on one wall the lights in the vertical direction and on the other three walls in arranged horizontally, with the horizontal lights of each wall group offset from one another in terms of height are, starting at the bottom at lower leg, knee and thigh level. The lights of each wall group that expediently can be switched on and off individually or in groups, thus delivering different fields of application, so that in the first summer, with the most diverse possible variations, a relatively gentle radiation treatment can be carried out. Intensive irradiation is carried out by apart from an intensive head irradiation, which is only rarely used - exclusively in the second Chamber made in which the irradiation intensity varies continuously by changing the irradiation distance can be. The intensive care chamber is expediently on the side open so that the patient can be observed.

Further features by means of which an embodiment of the radiation cabin that is advantageous in terms of production and application is achieved are specified in the subclaims.

The irradiation booth according to the invention is described in more detail below with reference to an example shown in the drawing. It show t

1 shows a side view of an irradiation cabin according to the invention,

Pig 2 the booth seen from the left in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 a plan view of the irradiation booth

The radiation cabin comprises two radiation chambers 1, 2, which lie on both sides of a partition 3 · The partition 3 encloses together with the vertical walls 4 ·, 5 and one Door 6 the first treatment chamber 1, which is square in plan, whose ceiling 7 is height-adjustable via cables 8 and a weight equalizer 9 (balancer) on an upper, portal-shaped Cross member 10 is suspended. In the area of the first chamber is the cabin with an upper and a lower ring beam 11, 12, to which the vertical walls 3 »4- are attached and expediently also the hinges of the door 6 are attached β On the upper ring beam 11 are also the stand

legs of the portal-shaped cross member 10 attached. on the upper ring beam 11 also sit vertically upward parallel guide rods 13 on which stop pieces 14 are guided via downward arms 1.5 are rigidly connected to the ceiling 7 «The ceiling 7 can from the upper position shown down between the Vertical walls 3 »4 are pulled down to the deepest Position the stop pieces 14 on the upper ring beam 11 hit.

Instead of the separate guide rods shown 13 can the legs of the portal-shaped cross member 10 can also be used as a vertical guide for the stop pieces 14, in which Pail their fastening arms 15 expediently be arranged in the plane of the cross member 10 on the ceiling 7

In the area of the four corners of the partition 3 are on the upper and lower ring beams 11, 12 four parallel running rails 16, 17, 18, 19 attached, forming a frame at its opposite end with a vertical frame 20 or a vertical drag wall. The rails 16 to 19 have a C-profile and is in them a vertical wall 25 provided with rollers 21, 22 and 23, 24 at the top and bottom, can be moved in the direction of the partition 3 stored, cf. the one indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 1

Position 25 'of the vertical wall. To achieve proper guidance, the vertical wall 25 is also at its corners Bearing blocks 26 for two rollers 21/22 or 23/24 each provided, each of which has a roller in the direction of travel seen in front of and arranged behind the movable vertical wall.

From the I ¹ Ig. 1 and 3 the arrangement of the black light lamps in the two chambers of the cabin can also be seen. A group A of four parallel lights is attached under the ceiling 7. The door 6 is equipped with four vertically aligned lights B. Together with the four lights 0, D and E attached horizontally to the vertical walls 3, 4, 5, they represent the lights belonging to chamber 1. The horizontal lights C, E and D are offset in height from one another in each group of walls. where group D begins at lower leg level, group C at knee level and group E at thigh level.

The partition 3 is also equipped on its side facing the chamber 2 with a group Έ of seven, horizontally aligned lights, and the same group of lights G is arranged on the opposite side of the movable vertical wall 25. Chamber 1 is thus primarily

designed as a pretreatment chamber, while chamber 2 is intended for intensive irradiation ", the intensity the irradiation by adjusting the wall 25 in a wide Range can be varied continuously
