Abstract

The apparatus designed to reduce the toxic effects of venom injected into humans or animals by insects, snakes or poisonous fish, consists of a heating element with an elliptical mirror to concentral the heat on the point of entry of the vanom, destroying its thermolabile properties. The heat can be provided by a 2.5V-0.5A electric incandescant light bulb powered by two 1.5V R6 batteries. The bulb is situated at the centre of the elliptical reflector so that its rays can be concentrated on the venom's point of entry. The apparatus is held, either by the person who has been bitten or stung, or by a third party, so that the focal point of the concentrated light rays is as small as possible and does not actually touch the skin.

Description

La presente invention reside dans une application nouvelle des dispositifs de chauffage agissant par concentration des radiations émises par une source d'énergie rayonnante: application à la neutralisation partielle ou totale des propriétes nocives et notamment allergisantes des venins, à leur point d'inoculation et des celle-ci, chez l'homme ou l'animal. The present invention resides in a new application of heating devices acting by concentration of the radiations emitted by a radiant energy source: application to the partial or total neutralization of the harmful and in particular allergenic properties of the venoms, at their point of inoculation and of the this, in humans or animals.

L'intéret de cette application inventive dans le domaine de la santé est important en ce qu'elle apporte une solution permettant de réduire les atteintes graves qui résultent de l'action nocive des produits visés. The interest of this inventive application in the health field is important in that it provides a solution making it possible to reduce the serious damage which results from the harmful action of the targeted products.

Elle exploite la thermolabilité des composants des venins. It exploits the thermolability of the components of the venoms.

Cette propriété est connue et exploitée pour réduire les effets nocifs de ces substances en ce qu'il est d'usage d'approcher au plus près du point d'inoculation d'un venin une source de chaleur telle qu'un objet, soit échauffé au préalable soit incandescent ou enflammé: une cigarette allumée, un brandon, une allumette enflammée etc L'apport calorique ainsi produit est suppose détruire les constituants thermolabiles du venin injecté
Les inconvénients de cette pratique résident dans l'incommodité de sa mise en oeuvre, dans l'imprécision de son action et par là, dans sa très mauvaise efficacité. Les risques de brulures qu'elle présente en sont egalement un grave inconvénient
Les améliorations apportées par l'invention sont caractérisées par la possibilité qu'elle offre d'obtenir un échauffement suffisant, localisé avec précision au point d'inoculation, sans danger et rapide. Elle permet également l'obtention du résultat au moyen d'appareils peu encombrants, utilisables rapidement, commodément et toujours disponibles ou que l'on se trouve. De plus, selon les caractéristiques de la source de rayonnement et/ou celles du dispositif concentrateur, la température atteinte peut etre parfaitement maitrisée. Ceci permet, tout en conservant l'efficacité du dispositif employé, d'écarter les risques de brulures dangereuses.
This property is known and exploited to reduce the harmful effects of these substances in that it is customary to approach as close as possible to the point of inoculation of a venom a heat source such as an object, is heated beforehand either incandescent or flaming: a lit cigarette, a brandon, a flaming match etc. The caloric intake thus produced is supposed to destroy the thermolabile constituents of the injected venom
The disadvantages of this practice lie in the inconvenience of its implementation, in the imprecision of its action and thereby, in its very poor efficiency. The risks of burns it presents are also a serious disadvantage.
The improvements brought about by the invention are characterized by the possibility that it offers to obtain sufficient heating, precisely located at the point of inoculation, safe and rapid. It also makes it possible to obtain the result by means of space-saving devices which can be used quickly, conveniently and always available or wherever you are. In addition, depending on the characteristics of the radiation source and / or those of the concentrator device, the temperature reached can be perfectly controlled. This allows, while retaining the efficiency of the device used, to avoid the risk of dangerous burns.

Un exemple de réalisation applicable selon l'invention est caractérisé par l'utilisation d'un boitier en matière plastique de forme grossièrement cylindrique, de taille aussi petite que possible et proportionnée aux éléments suivants qu'il contient. An exemplary embodiment applicable according to the invention is characterized by the use of a plastic casing of roughly cylindrical shape, as small as possible in size and proportionate to the following elements which it contains.

- une "ampoule" électrique dite à " ''Incandescence'', àenvellope transparente, de caracteristiques de fonctionnement 2,5V-0,5A. - an electric "bulb" called "" Incandescent "", with a transparent envelope, with operating characteristics 2.5V-0.5A.

- deux piles électriques jetables de type normalisé R6 ( 1 ,SV) quí alimentent la lampe en courant au travers d'un dispositif interrupteur.- two disposable electric batteries of standard type R6 (1, SV) which supply the lamp with current through a switch device.

- un réflecteur-miroir dont la forme est celle d'une portion d'ellipsoide de révolution.- a reflector-mirror whose shape is that of a portion of ellipsoid of revolution.

Ces éléments sont assemblés solidairement de façon telle que le filament de la lampe, qui sert ici de source d'énergie, soit positionné au foyer de l'éllipsoide situé dans l'espace intérieur du réflecteur-miroir.These elements are joined together in such a way that the filament of the lamp, which here serves as a source of energy, is positioned at the focal point of the ellipsoid situated in the interior space of the mirror-reflector.

Au passage du courant électrique les rayons infrarouges et lumineux émis par la source sont reconcentrés, après réflection par le miroir-réflecteur, au 2ème foyer de son ellipse génératrice ou ils engendrent une élévation de température.When the electric current passes, the infrared and light rays emitted by the source are reconcentrated, after reflection by the mirror-reflector, at the 2nd focal point of its generating ellipse where they generate a rise in temperature.

L'utilisateur (qui nest pas obligatoirement la victime) positionne le dispositif, tenu à la main par exemple. à une distance de l'endroit a. The user (who is not necessarily the victim) positions the device, held in the hand for example. at a distance from location a.

échauffer (point d'inoculation du venin) telle que la tache lumineuse proJetée soit la plus petite possible
De par les propriétés optiques du réflecteur-miroir ellipsoidal cette position correspond à celle ou les rayons qu'il réfléchit sont reconcentrés au maximum et donc à celle de l'echauffement maximum. Ce positionnement est ajusté en déplaçant le dispositif en cas d'effet exessif ou insuffisant Les substances thermolabiles sont détruites sous l'influence de la chialeur qui leur est appliquée et leurs effets réduits ou annulés.
warm up (venom inoculation point) so that the projected light spot is as small as possible
Due to the optical properties of the ellipsoidal mirror-reflector, this position corresponds to the one or the rays that it reflects are concentrated as much as possible and therefore to that of maximum heating. This positioning is adjusted by moving the device in the event of an excessive or insufficient effect. The thermolabile substances are destroyed under the influence of the whiteness applied to them and their effects reduced or canceled.

Un tel dispositif peut avantageusement etre utilisé selon I'invention, pour le traitement de piqures-inoculation de venin, simples ou multiples par des insectes hyménoptères mais également par serpent ou autres poissons venimeux (vives) dont le venin présenterait une thermolabilité convenable.  Such a device can advantageously be used according to the invention, for the treatment of bites-inoculation of venom, single or multiple by hymenopterous insects but also by snake or other poisonous fish (live) whose venom would have a suitable thermolability.
