Abstract

Die Vorrichtung besteht aus mindestens einer Manschette (2) mit einer Anzahl von Kammern (13). Die Manschette kann um die zu behandelnde Extremität des Patienten gelegt werden, während im Anschluß hieran die Kammern (13) mit Hilfe von Ventilen (15) aufgeblasen und entlüftet werden können.
Zur Erzielung einer optimalen Behandlung des Ptienten und einer einfachen Bauweise der Vorrichtung sind alle Ven­ tile (15) in Reihe geschaltet und über eine gemeinsame Steuerleitung (12) nacheinander kaskadenartig ansteuerbar. Ferner sind eine Versorgungsleitung (11) und die Steuer­ leitung (12) nur an dem ersten Ventil (15a) angeschlossen, während dahinter jeweils zwei einander benachbarte Ventile (15) durch Versorgungs- und Steuerleitungsabschnitte (11a bis e bzw. 12a bis e) miteinander verbunden sind.
Der Ventilkörper (29) jedes Ventiles (15a,15) trennt einen Versorgungsraum (33) des Ventiles, der ständig einerseits mit einem zuführenden Versorgungsleitungsteil und an­ dererseits mit der zugeordneten Kammer kommuniziert, von einem ständig mit der Steuerleitung kommunizierenden Steuerraum (32) des Ventiles. Nach dem Füllen der zuge­ hörigen Kammer (13) gibt der Ventilkörper (29) des Ven­ tiles eine Ventilöffnung (30) frei, wodurch Versorgungs­ luft zum jeweils nächsten Ventil (15) gelangen kann, um die zu diesem gehörige Kammer (13) aufzublasen.
The device consists of at least one sleeve (2) with a number of chambers (13). The cuff can be placed around the patient's limb to be treated, while the chambers (13) can then be inflated and deflated using valves (15).
To achieve an optimal treatment of the patient and a simple construction of the device, all Ven tiles (15) are connected in series and can be controlled in succession via a common control line (12). Furthermore, a supply line (11) and the control line (12) are only connected to the first valve (15a), while behind each two adjacent valves (15) through supply and control line sections (11a to e and 12a to e) with each other are connected.
The valve body (29) of each valve (15a, 15) separates a supply space (33) of the valve, which constantly communicates on the one hand with a supplying supply line part and on the other hand with the associated chamber, from a control chamber (32) of the valve which is constantly communicating with the control line . After filling the associated chamber (13), the valve body (29) of the Ven tiles releases a valve opening (30), whereby supply air can get to the next valve (15) to inflate the associated chamber (13).
