Abstract

A blood pressure regulator comprises a cylindrical casing 1 made of a conductive material eg. aluminium alloy consisting of an upper shell 5 fastened to a lower shell 6 to hold a charging and discharging oscillatory circuit 4 surrounded by an insulator 7, an earphone jack 2 and a press button switch 3. A conductive clip and wire set may be plugged into the earphone jack, the clips being fastened to the blood pressure reducing/increasing fossa on the back of the ears (Fig. 2). When switch 3 is pressed on the bioelectricity of the patient's body charges the capacitor of circuit 4; releasing switch 3 discharges circuit 4, producing an oscillating signal which is fed to the acupuncture point on the ears to reduce/increase blood pressure. <IMAGE>

Description

Title : BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATOR The present invention relates to a blood pressure regulator and is convenient for regulating blood pressure by the user wherever and whenever it is needed.

A high blood pressure may make a person senseless or take away the power to move or speak. One must be properly and quickly treated when suffering from a high blood pressure. However, it is not good to treat a person with a medicine to reduce the blood pressure, because using a medicine to reduce the blood pressure may cause a side-effect, more particuiarly to a pregnant woman.

The present invention has been accomplished under the aforesaid circumstances. The blood pressure regulator of the present invention is a product derived from Chinese medical theory and modern medical science. It eliminates the use of power supply or magnetic force, and uses the bioelectricity of the human body to irritate and treat the blood pressure without causing any side-effect. It is practical and effective for treating high blood pressure as well as low blood pressure of any type and the related complications. It also helps the user prevent from a sudden stroke of apoplexy. It is suitable for use at home as well as in hospital whenever needed. The blood pressure regulator uses a charging and discharging oscillatory circuit controlled by a press-button switch to receive the bicelectricity of the body through a clip and wire set, which is connected between the ears and the earphone jack on the cylindrical casing of the regulator.

The bioelectricity of the body charges the oscillatory circuit causing it to send a feedback signal to the ears in irritating the corresponding acupuncture point, and therefore the blood pressure is reduced or increased according to the contact point on the ears.

Fig. 1 is a plan structural view of a blood pressure regulator constructed according to the present invention; and Fig. 2 is an applied view showing the blood pressure regulator in use.

Referring to Fig. l,a blood pressure regulator constructed in accordance with the present invention is generally comprised of a cylindrical casing 1, an earphone jack 2, a press-button switch 3, and a charging and discharging oscillatory circuit 4. The cylindrical casing 1 is made from a conductive material, for example: aluminum alloy or #304 stainless steel, consisted of an upper shell 5 fastened to a lower shell 6 through a sleeve joint. The earphone jack 2 is made at the bottom of the lower shell 6 (spaced from the upper shell 5). The press-button switch 3 is made on the top of the upper shell 5. The upper shell 5 is internally fastened with an insulator 7 to hold the charging and discharging oscillatory circuit 4 on the inside. The charging and discharging oscillatory circuit 4, the earphone jack 2, a press-button switch 3, and the cylindrical casing 1 are connected into a circuit controlled by the press-button switch 3. A conductive clip and wire set 8 is used to connect the ears to the earphone jack 2.

The operation of the present invention is outlined hereinafter with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 again.

The casing 1 is held with the hand, then the clip and wire set 8 is fastened on the blood pressure reducing or rising fossa on the back of the ears and connected to the earphone jack 2. Then, press on the press-button switch 3 to connect the charging and discharging oscillatory circuit 4 for permitting the bioelectricity produced at the fossa on the ears to circulate through the ears, the charging and discharging oscillatory circuit 4, the casing 1 and the hand, and simultaneously to charge the electrolytic condenser of the charging and discharging oscillatory circuit 4. About two to fiv seconds (depending on the physical conditions of the user) after charging, the electrolytic condenser automatically discharges the electricity to the corresponding ncupllncktlre point on each ear via the clip and wire set 8. Pressing off the press-button switch 3 causes breaking of the circuit.

When the circuit is cut off, the electrolytic condenser of the charging and discharging oscillatory circuit 4 immediately discharges the electricity to produce an oscillating signal, which is then reflected to the ears to irritate the corresponding acupuncture point in reducing or increasing the blood pressure. In order not to let the blood pressure drop or rise sharply, it is recommended to irritate the ears at a 30-second interval, i.e., alternatively press on and off the press-button switch at a 30-secohd interval. The blood pressure is properly regulated by repeating the irritation.

To a primary low or high blood pressure patient, it is sufficient to repeat the aforesaid procedure for five to twenty minutes one time a day. To a secondary or more serious patient, it is sufficient to repeat the aforesaid procedure for ten to twenty minutes one or two times a day.

After each treatment, the systolic pressure can be increased or reduced by 10-30 mm/Hg, and the diastolic pressure can be increased or reduced by 10 mm/Hg. By means of the treatment of the present invention, a primary low or high blood pressure patient can get rid of the medicine immediately, and the low or hit blood pressure patient of secondary or third stage can reduce the dosage of medicine gradually. A stable and satisfactory effect can be achieved after having been treated for two to five times.

Since the present invention does not produce any sideeffect, it is very suitable for the pregnant women suffering from a high or low blood pressure. The present invention also helps chronic high blood pressure patients to release the pain without affecting their normal works.

While only an embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be understood that various changes and modifications could be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
