Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove itching by warming the skin, by pressing a warmer to an itchy place. CONSTITUTION:A heater such as a nichrome wire is wound around the heat conductive element 1 for conducting heat to the skin provided to the leading end part of a body 3 in plural layers while laminated by an insulating layer composed of mica and the current from a household 100V plug socket is supplied to a leaf spring contact 8 and a receiving contact 9 during a time when a switch head 4 is pressed and the heat conductive element is heated by the heat from the heater to apply heat to the skin and, when the skin feels excessive heat, a finger is separated from the switch head 4 to stop the supply of a current or to separate the body 3 itself from the skin to use the warmer. After separation, it is made clear that the itching of the skin is reduced or eliminated.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] From many years of practical experience, we have become convinced that applying local heat to the areas that are bitten by mosquitoes, fleas, gnats, etc. and feel itchy will stop the itching.

In that case, it is more effective to set the temperature as high as possible without causing burns and within a tolerable range.

The present invention is a device for warming the area when one feels itching.

The basic structure is the same as an electric soldering iron, but the maximum temperature is set to a temperature that will not cause burns, and the structure is such that it heats up continuously as long as the switch is pressed, allowing you to select the appropriate temperature yourself.

To explain this below with reference to the drawings, the body (3)
At the tip of the switch head (1), a heater such as nichrome wire is wrapped around the heat transfer element (1) for transmitting heat to the skin in multiple layers, laminated with insulating layers such as mica, and the current coming from the household 100cm outlet is connected to the switch head ( Only while pressing 4), the leaf spring contact (8) and the receptacle contact (9) are contacted and energized, and the heat transfer element (1) is heated by the heat generated by the heater, and the heat is transferred to the skin.If you feel it is too hot, turn the switch head ( Remove your finger from 4) to stop the power supply, or keep the body (3) itself away from your skin.
After taking it off, you will notice that the itching on your skin has decreased or disappeared.
