RU2366468C1 - Combing apparatus of phototherapeutic target - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus comprises an electromagnetic emitter. A body of said hairbrush is spherical and comprises optical teeth mounted on a flexible membrane in its bottom. Light-emitting diodes are provided in the space between the body and the membrane therefore if the hairbrush is pressed, the membrane caves in, and all teeth contact with a convex-curved surface of the patient's head.

EFFECT: higher effectiveness of both mechanical and massage effect of teeth and improved phototherapeutic target on the patient's hair-roots and scalp.

Description

The invention relates to medicine, can be used in cosmetic and dermatological rooms.

A device is known, made in the form of a massage brush, designed to increase the effectiveness of massage by exposing the scalp to a constant magnetic field and medicinal herbs (1).

A device is known for local mechanical and temperature effects on the reflex zones of the human body. A thermoelectric semiconductor device contains elements included in the rubber sheet, including a thermoelectric module, which is in the first junctions in thermal contact with the applicator, including metal protrusions, and in the second junctions, with a liquid heat exchanger, power circuits are laid in the rubber sheet (2).

Known massage device containing a supporting structure with which the axis is connected with the disks placed on them with spikes that affect the skin of the subject. Disks contain shock absorbing elements, making them “floating”, which allows the spikes to repeat the relief of the subject's body (3). The disadvantage of the design is its complexity.

The prototype of the claimed invention is a phototherapeutic massage brush, consisting of a hollow body with a handle, inside which is placed a board with a matrix of LEDs and a power source. In the transverse rows of the matrix, LEDs with different wavelengths of light radiation and a control circuit are combined. A removable panel with rows of through holes matching the topography of the LEDs on the board is built into the brush housing. In one row of holes, teeth are inserted, which are segments of reinforced optical fibers. The end surfaces of the ends of the teeth of the optical fibers are aligned with the lenses of the optical fibers of the matrix. The device under consideration is intended for the treatment of diseases of the scalp and skin due to preventive light stimulation of the main structural elements of hair and scalp (4). The disadvantage of the prototype is that the shape of the base of the working surface of the comb provides only point contact of a limited number of teeth with a convex-curved surface of the patient’s head.

The task is to increase the effectiveness of the effects of combs on the skin and hair roots by increasing the number of teeth and fiber optic emitters with the surface of the patient’s head.

To do this, it is proposed that the body of the comb be made in the form of a sphere, in the lower part of which a flat flexible membrane is installed, on which electromagnetic radiation sources and tooth-optical fibers are installed.

A device is proposed for combing human head hair with massage and phototherapeutic effects on the hair roots and scalp with built-in sources of electromagnetic radiation, characterized in that the body of the comb is made in the form of a sphere, in the lower part of which light-conducting teeth are installed on a flexible membrane, and the LEDs are installed in the space between the body and the membrane, as a result of which, when the comb is pressed, the membrane bends inward and all the teeth are contacted with a convex curvilinear surface spine of the patient's head.

As sources of electromagnetic radiation, LEDs are used that are installed in the space between the membrane and the housing.

During the work of the proposed design of the comb under the action of the pressing force of the patient’s hand, the flexible membrane bends inward and thereby ensures the contact of all teeth with the curved surface of the patient’s scalp. In addition, due to the flexible membrane, the teeth of the comb can deviate from the rectilinear arrangement at some angle to either side depending on the direction of movement of the comb, which provides a gentle effect of the rounded ends of the teeth on the scalp of the patient.

The drawing shows a comb, where the numbers denote: 1 - a spherical body, 2 - a flexible membrane, 3 - light-conducting teeth, 4 - LEDs, 5 - current source.

The advantage of the claimed design is to increase the massage and phototherapeutic effects on the hair roots and scalp.

The technical result of the proposed design is to increase the effectiveness of the mechanical and massage effects of the teeth and increase the effectiveness of the phototherapeutic effect on the hair roots and scalp of the patient.
